I was curious about the validity of your statement so I did a little digging. It's true, he even mentions that he reads it on a daily basis. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8jqea8R-bE [edit] if you don't want to watch the whole

A lot of newsroom editors and journalists would be better off if they read this article. It explains how journalism should be, but unfortunately not how it is. There are exceptions of course - the Economist springs to mind. Unfortunately

Noone else has a guy at the helm of the ship that's a worldclass salesman, a true visionary, an amazing product guy and a detail obsessed perfectionist all rolled into one.

The fact that you read HN probably means you're more capable than most freelancers out there. We, as people, tend to overestimate the abilities of others and underestimate our own, it's just the way the brain works. I once did a job where m

That's true. The difference is that the Iphone lacked features because of Steve Jobs' desire to only do something if you can do it perfectly. The Kin lacked features because of politics. This is what will kill Microsoft.

From the wikipedia entry on Kin: "The Kin was based on Windows CE" "Kin only supports email attachments, and does not support attachments to other media (like MMS)" "The handset does not store photos or videos. Instead, every photo and vid

That's what I thought. If they expect it to be cracked (which they might, why put it there if you don't expect anyone to crack it) it could be something much simpler. I'd maybe start looking at some sort of substitution scheme or something

Reading through the comments there's a lot of defending 37signals. I think the poster is absolutely right though. There was an interview with Marissa Meyer on The Charlie Rose show where they talked about recruiting talent for Google and Ma

The basic problem is that if you ask 100 different project managers what they want you'll get 100 different answers. Every project manager (I'm using a very broad definition of project manager here...) wants a system that is almost but not

The grandparent didn't claim that there was an evolutionary advantage to religion, but he did claim that the human species started doing something that has no evolutionary advantage (we invented prayer) . As you correctly point out the t

by mixmax 16y ago
Perhaps because one of the things that is evolutionary novel is intelligence. It seems reasonable that there's a correlation between some or all of these things, they're most probably interlinked somehow. For instance: If you're highly in

by mixmax 16y ago
I don't think your explanation is correct, simply because it doesn't give an evolutionary advantage to pray for something that may or may not come true. On the contrary you spend precious resources on something superfluous.

Just because we're the only species that has this trait it doesn't mean it isn't natural. Bats are the only ones that use echo-location, but that doesn't make it more or less natural. It's simply adapting to the environment.

A major global pandemic seems like a plausible scenario. We've had a few (semi..) close calls with SARS and swine flu but have been lucky that they haven't mutated to be airborne and infectous from human to human. You don't have to go furth

Basically my point is that, however you cut it, this service introduces complexity because you have to set up a server. What makes dropbox so successful is the utter simplicity of something that used to be hard. The internet is littered wit

You could. But you'd only introduce more variables for the enduser. All of a sudden you'd have to decide which third-party service to sign up for, and many of them might just be a guy in a basement running the service to pay for college tui

I can only second edw519's comment, and add a bit to it. Building enterprise software is not only about building software, it's also about processes. Every company with more than a dozen employess has processes for dealing with just about e

This isn't a threat to dropbox becaue (as I read it) you have to set up your own server, or maybe hook up on a friends server. While this is certainly a great feature that a lot of people will value, the beauty of dropbox is that it just wo

I'll have to agree with you here. Banning physical exports may make sense - if North Korea can't import plutionum it's not very likely they'll get it. Or at least it's posssible to police the ban. If the North Korean regime really wants to
