It's a huge mistake to frame this in terms of safety rather than belonging. Any criticism of someone who feels out of place will cut them to the quick, no matter how much you pad your language. If your standing within a group is assure

Was he at all correct in thinking that this applied to Torvalds? Time seems to have proven that ESR was completely off-base.

LinkedIn lucked out and rode the network effect to its current size. Note that the only thing you like about it is its network effect, which is more a question of timing than open competition at this point. If other websites like Facebook,

Terrible article... no mention of plumbing, toilets, heating, ductwork, or electricity, which are the main factors that dictate how normal houses are designed (which is why materials like cob aren't the game-changers that their devoted

I think you're underselling the technology. The hologram appeared to be a small attachment to a multi-purpose droid that was recorded off of a single camera. Being able to record and project holograms on your phone would be extremely i

PayScale is basing its median income data for Colgate grads with 10+ years of experience off of 16 observations. There are likely only one or two observations going into the Colgate Social Science salary in the article. http://ww

These salaries on the image on the right seem extremely high. Half of Colgate Social Science majors are in the top 5% of income earners? Half of Tufts humanities majors? These are great colleges, but it doesn't pass the smell test. And

The hype machine around this is strange - tons of superficially positive reviews but without a whole lot of passion behind them. Does anyone else smell something off about the response to the game so far? Have people convinced themselves th

Do you think any of those things are difficult to learn? You certainly don't seem to think so. It's like you're looking for reasons to throw up your hands and not hire anyone.

You could easily live in a 3-bedroom and pay $1700 a month in rent. You'll only have $3000 a month to pay for food and transportation - oh my god, the privation, how is anyone supposed to make it?

Not in the magic world of VC funding! There will always be at least one dominant firm and a few others setting tens of millions of dollars on fire by offering five dollar Lyft Lines in Manhattan hoping to get traction. It's a bit like

I don't think this is difficult, but I agree that it is rare. There is very little pressure encouraging people to become one of these programmers. I'm one of them, but it's difficult to actually leverage this into a higher sa

Software is the fastest growing field, but when you factor in 1.5% and 1.6% inflation in 2013 and 2014 (and use the salary numbers discussed in this thread), you get a real decrease of 1% between 2013 and 2015. So you're getting a sala

No surprise - he won't get to offset its losses to reduce Nash Holdings' tax bill unless he spends 500 hours a year working there. It's obviously a net loss if the Post loses money, but I don't think he intends it to be

Main concern is that people fully expect issues to be found down the line. Would I bet $100,000 that we won't discover any currently-unknown harmful side effects from vaping in the next thirty years? I wouldn't. It's similar

As Nietzsche became more and more isolated, socially and intellectually, he had less to say about the Dionysian impulse. What he's describing is more clearly observed and understood by Jonathan Haidt in The Righteous Mind, when Haidt d

This is a disgusting sentiment. Doing things well can carry an intrinsic reward, and cultivating that is one of the most important things in a rewarding life.

That's a little extreme - a fairer comparison would be Allen Edmonds vs. a budget dress shoe. If you want to beat sneakers in terms of price, switch to work boots like Red Wings or Chippewa.

Doubt it, but these experiments are interesting because they let us discover the unknown unknowns in these chemical reactions. If laboratory-aged whiskey is, to the best of our understanding, identical to normally-aged whiskey, what are the

If this fund were using 2 and 20 that 2 billion number would be higher - in fact, it would be 15 times higher (160 billion * .02 points * 10 years), and that's not including the 20% fee on gains. 2 and 20 is a sucker's deal. Stay

4) If you're investing any "small" amount, don't invest it in a hedge fund. Invest it in a passively managed (index) fund. I pay .3% a year on my assets and get market returns.

The $400,000 they spent is now, effectively, an investment into their future product line. It's not a surprise that VCs see that $400,000 of free R&D isn't valueless. The actual individuals who funded this investment will see

It appears that this company is taking the "lessons they learned" and the intellectual property they developed from spending $400,000 of other peoples' money on R&D to get VC investments for their next thing. They've
