Linkedin profiles are one way for you to get feedback from people that actually worked with someone. You might find the guy who seemed awkward and nervous in the interview was always very helpful to the rest of his teammates. You might lear

> So, they wanted a SUV to sell more cars. Now, as everyone (especially Tesla) knows, Model S has been selling very well. So in hindsight it was a big waste of time/resources. But I can see why the mistake was made. The funny thing

An API failing intermittently like that would be a nightmare for anyone trying to debug the situation.

It seems PG is thinking backwards on this. Instead of fixing the bad _causes_ of inequality we should try to fix the bad _consequences_ of inequality.

Seems pretty unreasonable to me. It's pretty obvious that the DNC would not have taken access away from Clinton if the situation were reversed.

The previous person was talking about pooled ridesharing. In my case car pooling was only convenient when going to work. It was much harder to coordinate the afternoon/evening trip home. Services like Uber make it a lot easier for 3-4

I don't think you understand. If you join my startup team and spend one weekend working on it and then disappear for a year while everyone else keeps working then you didn't build even 1/2% of the effort. Anyone that thinks a

The only problem is that Bobby doesn't provide and emails and slack conversations until after things started to go sideways. It's like people have forgotten that anyone can cherry-pick evidence to put themselves in the best light.

People would go because they understand that their weekend of work is not worth 10% equity in a 10M company. If you really think a weekend of coding is worth something then why would you go now? It allows complete strangers to join your tea

You're probably right, but remember that we are only hearing the story from Bobby's side.

If the late employee is only 6% more efficient then he will get the same number of tickets closed by noon.

Read the article more carefully and you see they do state a connection between birth month and disease risks. The connections that they haven't found are the specific risk factors caused by the birth month. The connections that MAY be

It doesn't really index your financial stability. It indexes your history of paying bills on time. People in debt that make regular payments are much better customers than people that don't need to use debt.

It might be time for tinfoil hats, but maybe Amazon only competes with Netflix because Netflix demonstrated how awesome Amazon's servers work for video delivery?

Oops - I was off by an order of magnitude. Regardless - the treasury prints about 5% of the total serial numbers each year and according to the links I provided they already cycle through serial numbers.

The government prints about 2-5 trillion dollar bills each year. I'm pretty sure the entire range of serial numbers has been exhausted for $1: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/annualproductionfigur... http:

I tried it for a few weeks and felt really unproductive. I think it is similar to being drunk. A lot of drunk people think they are awesome when they really aren't.

I've never seen an agile article recommend rote meetings taking 50% of the week. Anyone even remotely interested in agility would call that an anti-pattern. I don't think it's a case of organizations blindly cargo-culting, bu

Every developer has a different idea of what complex code means. Cyclomatic complexity is one metric, but vastly different code could have the same score. Sometimes we have to trade simplicity for flexibility, speed, or other goals. The ide

Just because you can win in court doesn't mean you can collect damages later. If the other guy set up a business then he is pretty safe. Kickstarter needs to fix situations like these.

Why is it obvious? Many goods and services are sold discounted for pennies on the dollar. I might have thought it was a pricing error or I might have thought it was some sort of bizarre Danish Groupon-esque marketing ploy. bookingbuddy.com

I prefer transcripts over videos. It often takes less than 10 minutes to read the transcript of a 60 minute presentation. And it is a lot easier to go back and review sections which were confusing.

It's subtle, but I think the difference is that in ruby when potentially_falsy_value is false you will get the safeDefault. But with ?: you would get the potentiallyFalsyValue as false. The only time you get safeDefault is when potenti

Seems like an exaggerated straw man. I don't see how anyone could reasonably stretch a one-liner into 6. But yeah - "dense" is an adjective that I try to avoid when coding. Code should be clean, simple, and easy to read.

I'm not a big fan of single line if statements. They seem to cause bugs more often than necessary.
