Maybe research tools for long tail targeting content creators? I could see paying for a tool that helped collect, filter and organize what the top people are saying and pain points in general.

The guy is from the Caribbean. Race is always complex, but it is especially complex in the Caribbean. How pale a person looks doesn't really have bearing on whether they consider themselves black. We don't know what his parents

That really doesn't contradict what the person you're replying to said. Your comment manages to be both jerky and irrelevant. It ignores the principle dilemma, which is that taking care of children is easier with a broad family

I'm not going to lie; we're all bureaucrats with greater or lesser degrees of pay, although I think we top out at 160k, so by Silicon Valley standards, highly paid is debatable... Line offices are at the pointy end of the stick wh

Certainly line offices do, although in my experience HQ is in the process of transitioning away from the mindset that IT means MS Word installs and security management. I've been watching a transition from line office hosted CMS to an

Assuming massive automation, and accompanying decreased employment and people-with-money, who is going to the bank, who is a prospective customer and who needs managed? Given sufficient layoffs the demand for these middleman jobs will also

Non-paying internships require that the company receives no benefit from the intern. You can't have an intern do something useful and not pay them. They are an employee if they are doing something useful to your business

The users of these libraries benefit from this herculean effort of very real programming, but are mostly not the herculean programmers. The users are the community, not the library creators. And the users are mostly, from what I see, the a

I think you're missing the negative externalities inherent in oil extraction, like groundwater pollution, earthquakes, above ground pipelines, etc. Not to mention it's a little like saying Pablo Escobar doesn't OD on drugs or

They're fucked. They likely won't lose their jobs, but they won't be able to expand or replace attrition. We've seen this movie before, during the downturn, and evidence points to 4 years (or more) of this crap. Trump

Every designer, or UI/UX person should work on a shitty CRT with a flicker and a bad green channel. If the design doesn't work under those conditions, it doesn't work.

I have an old car and it definitely doesn't work with anything newer than a 2G iPhone. No errors indicated, just can't hack it. It does work with a usb stick full of mp3s, though.

It's tough to figure what pulls a place out of the dilapidation phase. I've heard people say a microbrewery is a good harbinger. I have this unformed suspicion that a hipstery cheap-fancy restaurant can do it, or the "right
