While not 100% the same, Kurt Warner's story is pretty remarkable. He went from stocking shelves at a grocery store, to winning a super bowl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Warner#Professional_caree...

Access is a function of cost. If medical care is affordable for people near the poverty line then we will be able to solve the access problem entirely. (this is my goal) Governments, charities, and businesses will pick up the slack as they

We technically have this in the United States (for emergencies). It is illegal for someone to be denied emergency services regardless of ability to pay.[0] No government system guarantees "full access" to medical treatment there i

There is no silver bullet in health care. The field is too large for any one single solution to cover everyone (3 Trillion USD per year is spent on health care). There needs to be a lot of innovation in a lot of different areas in order to

Yahoo was poorly managed for its entire existence. They tried to do everything and ended up doing nothing well. The products that they were best known for search, email, finance, sports all stagnated for years while their attention shifted

It's getting better as of late. I would spend some time reading up on flexbox and css grid if you haven't.

I would rather have one single request for a large static asset, than multiple small requests for per page based css. In my experience CSS files typically fall in the range 50-100KB. I'd rather not have to pay the perf penalty every ti

There is a different and IMO better way to solve the global scope problem in CSS. Adapted from the Paul Irish method of executing JS you can use data attributes to conditionally write CSS. For example a new user controller would output the

I have never heard of this company before and if you told me their website was a parody of an enterprise software company I would believe you. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds for me to understand what you do. "ZUORA BRINGS

It may be the case that Theranos could not "figure it out" as it may be impossible to do what they claim they could. In that case there is no reason for Theranos to exist as the real fix would be to do what existing labs already d

IANAL however I read through the affidavit and while I agree that they had probable cause to arrest the CEO I don't believe this case is a slam dunk. A fairly competent defense attorney should be able to convincingly claim that the fir

I honestly would take a page out of DHH's philosophy and say that's fine. It makes no sense that every tool/app/business has to dominate the landscape. In fact that kind of mentality is quite toxic in the long run. Make

Too many cooks spoil the broth. Effective teamwork does not mean we all need to work on the exact same thing at the same time. The best teams I've been on have people who are "t shaped" and have the autonomy to self organize.

"manage to accommodate" is vastly underselling the societal effects of industrializing. Of course there are winners and losers as there is with any sort of disruption. However, the positives vastly outweigh the negatives. Longer l

You are making the same mistake as the author. People are endlessly creative and will find productive uses for their labor. I'm not ignoring the fact that people won't face disruption in the labor market, however it is very naive

When you take investment money, it comes with the expectation that there will be a liquidity event. (going public, selling to another corporation) Being private is not a bad thing at all, in fact I would expect most entrepreneurs would pref

As an American there are a few principles that I would be willing to die defending, and free speech is one of them. "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils."
