Would someone have the power to oust Charlie unwillingly? I dont know much about how the company was split up so am wondering. The drama of these tech companies bores me except insofar as it relates to my personal account. Don't founders le

Agreed. As a user, cc often deters me from signing up bc 1) I hate filling out forms, and 2) I know there's >30% chance I'm going to be too lazy/busy to cancel eom. From the company's perspective, maybe 2) is an argument in favor of cc

Maybe it's actually a secret brilliant plan implemented by super geniuses- the first few people to start buying up the walnuts/tulips/DI make a killing! How else would you explain the existence and popularity of this crazy video? Maybe it w

It's a joke, I am Asian. I guess I also watched that stupid video and like to play with financial instruments.

Further proof that Asians are crazy. [edit] It's a joke, I am Asian. I guess I also watched that stupid video and like to play with financial instruments.

Agreed. Although how many of these projects actually get done for the amount allotted? Maybe it'll end up costing 100B or not get done at all after spending 10B. Whenever anything costs more than like 1M, we get scope insensitivity and have

Quora has more mass appeal and is more of a time waster site than Stack Exchange. It's like a smarter, more gamified, Facebook-y version of Yahoo answers. The friends I introduced to it said they can spend all day reading about "what it's l

Junot Diaz was my writing teacher at MIT. "Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao." He's really into comic books, the apocalypse, Dominican immigrants, New Jersey.

You're right that fear of failure prevents many people from reaching anywhere near their full potential. The working mom thing is a separate issue from representation of women in various industries such as tech. For me, I'm hoping to band t

This is great! It's almost a history and an explanation of the internet.

We bring up nursing: well, doctors used to be 100% men. Maybe doctors or biologists used to say, "Women are not interested in medicine or biology." Would any person say that now? Poets probably used to say, "Women aren't interested in writi

Doesn't everyone invite everyone to stalk everyone now by putting their information everywhere online? Stalking your crush is the original purpose of Facebook according to that movie. The main thing e-stalking reveals is how interested the

I agree. I don't know how you could have IP without patents.

How do you get rid of patents without getting rid of intellectual property? Do you mean setting up better infrastructure for licensing?

This article's title should specify that by "work remotely," it means "live together with your coworkers in an exotic location remote from company headquarters."

I would agree with this suggestion. The article categorizes everything from modifying phones to illegal and wrong activities such as theft and spying as hacking. Things will always be used for purposes different from their original intent b

by nancyhua 14y ago
This discussion is framed very weirdly, almost to the extent of meaninglessness because the language is so imprecise. Asking "is hacking good" is like asking "is evolution good for people when it produces everything from terrible worms that

Yeah it's off putting that poker was #1 on the list. His remaining suggestions were actually things that seemed sensible, like reading, writing, programming, and starting a business, but the poker stuff was so distracting it was hard to con

This is awesome and revolutionary. No more looking for parking spots- just send the car to the nearest garage or back home. Also the cars could coordinate to minimize traffic. So many possibilities!

Interesting, I don't know anything about either of the things you mentioned: range mode (When giving me the car, they told me it could go about 200 hours on 1 charge but to keep it under 150 because if it got completely drained I'd have to

My experiences were from the Roadster I had for a month while in the Bay area. I had been considering buying one until this experience with the battery. Your battery must be way better than mine and/or you're much better at driving- neither

I read about this charging issue being addressed in Israel with a company called Better Place that does battery swapping. The reasoning was Israel is small enough to roll out something like this on a large scale. Battery swapping sounds gre

30 minutes is already a vast improvement over the old technology which took hours, maybe 6 hours if you weren't on the fast connection, or I heard days if you were stuck using a normal outlet.

Charging was definitely the biggest problem with the Roadster. If you want to drive from Berkeley to Mountain View and then back, the car has to charge for a good 3 hours on the fast connection while you're in Mountain View or you risk goin

I feel sorry for everyone involved in this complex industry, no arena of which is aligned with the goal of people's long term health. The common sense suggestions in this article are a good step towards improving things by increasing transp

Agreed. He's entertaining and probably smarter and more focused than 99% of people but his poor arguments make me think he's not a precise thinker and isn't mentally flexible. I wonder if he'd be able to answer this question: What would he

His point is startups suck if they wait too long to get customer feedback to see if people actually want or care about their solutions. Does this advice apply mainly to startups that aren't particularly new technology? While people like sm

I think I agree with your points assuming Mark is evil. I am not convinced Zuckerberg's lacking "human warmth." It didn't strike me that Mark thought he was actually friends with Aaron or thought he was betraying anything- that's Aaron's pe

I'm not an economist or a lawyer so wondering: 1) Should there be a penalty for people who file patents that obviously have a ton of prior art to incentivize people not to do this or to do more research? 2) Should there be a reward for peop
