   Yes exactly! The best boss I ever had explained his job like this (and yes probably some ego stroking in there): "You guys are like a rock band. You're the stars. You need to show up, practice, and play gigs on schedule. I&#x27

   Not the parent, but we pay between $1,000-$1,500 per month per employee (annually $12,000 - $18,000) for medical. We do pay 100% for great coverage for their whole families, so I'm sure many companies are paying less, but it adds up f

   I love the idea of this, but am not sure how this works when you have things like on-call rotations, support hour coverage, unpleasant tasks that need doing (late night deployments, etc...). If you let everyone self manage, and no one is h

   I highly recommend RescueTime to give you real data on your computer habits, both hours in front of the screen, and a real breakdown of work vs. wasting time vs. entertainment, etc... It has led to a conscious change in how I spend time on

    Not really. I used Kozmo for instant gratification deliveries of ice cream and video games. Maybe they offered scheduled delivery of dry goods too?

    I wish they'd let us registered users know... We have used, and loved, Alice for scheduled delivery of everything from TP to toothpaste to vitamins. Bummer:(

    Did you read what Mailpile is doing? Basically making PGP easy to use which solves the lions share of the issues at stake here with the NSA and your complaints.

    10MinuteMail.com is my site, so I recommend it:) It's a bit more secure, in that there are no shared inboxes, each address is 100% private.

    I'm not sure I agree with either of your points. Sticky sessions with in app/JVM/whatever RAM session objects is much faster than pulling from memcache/redis and parsing/deserializing/instantiating the session

    Apache and nginx both have an array of good LB algos. I've never seen IP-based LB or hot-spots really. Most app servers support session replication/backup to other node(s). This is really standard stuff in JBoss for instance (m

    Or use sticky sessions and keep the session state server side... Much faster than rebuilding session state for every request (whether from a cookie or from a DB), especially the more complex your app and session state become.

    How does this compare against things like Flickr and EverPix? I'd love a "better" solution, but I can't seem to actually see a features breakdown or see how/why I should move to using Loom.

    Actually unless you're trying to drive on TOP of feet of snow, narrow is better than wide for normal driving as you cut through the snow and get to the road. Typically people will run snow tires that are 10mm narrower than their summer tir

    That depends greatly on how deep the domain knowledge at your company is, and the level of investment you make in your employees. If it takes 3 months for a new hire to even start being mostly productive (more than 50% productive and less

    Obviously there are other scenarios. I worked at a company in 1998 who missed payroll for 2 (I think) periods in a row. They then pulled out of it, had a strong IPO, endured the crash, and then got bought for a billion dollars a decade la
