I don't know Ansible very well... is it possible to install only a subset (namely, the vpn service you plan to actually use)? It seems like a large attack service to have every VPN software possible running on the machine.

Health Insurance / Hospital. I'm old enough that I now go to the doctor more frequently than I used to and it's a mess. A health insurance company that could reliably allow a user to change their address on a website would be

I swear this is what Infochimps used to be, but now I don't really see a reference to it on their website. Except for a 404 when I click on "Resources" -> "Data Marketplace"[1]. I'm guessing that means they

I work at a gov't organization and was going to say the same thing. It recently took me two months to get an $11/month pingdom account. There is some office somewhere that has to read the TOS and put the vendor on an "approve

You're maintaining two apps anyway b/c there is the client and the server. The OP didn't say it explicitly, but I'm assuming they are already building the server side no matter what and need to at a frontend. The backend

This is sort of a tangent, but if you feel you have to deal with too many people to do even a small task, you could make a point of volunteering for larger chunks of work to get out in front of these problems. If the technical people are tr

My main two: 1) "Overview and Zoom" is a common UI technique where you give an overview and then let a user click on stuff for more detail. In programming, this means writing the "intention" as a method that's very

If there is already a prototype built: 1) What kind of usage numbers "look good"? 2) What kind of ROI on adwords campaigns (or whatever) "look good"? Or maybe it would be better to frame these as null-hypotheses: E.g. wh

I really want this. I gave up on Ocaml because it just isn't a big enough ecosystem but everything else seems like I'm making the wrong things explicit in the code.

Seems very similar to how Berkshire Hathaway treats it's companies. CEOs run the companies, a small group at the top adds/removes companies. There is one company listed on the stock exchange, etc. It's noteworthy that Berkshi

It seems that way until you find yourself in a situation where none of this advice is being followed. The opposite of doing these things doesn't look terribly sinister, just has poor results. A founder/CEO that pressures the engin

Another minor UI issue: The Title for the page is "Yelp for..", causing the tab I have it in to have the visible title of just "Yelp" with your logo.

Suggestion: Repeat the the column headings every 20 rows or so or make it sticky. By the end of the page I had to scroll back up to remind myself of some of the columns titles.

It sounds like there is enough slack in the schedule that teams can decide they want to spend non-trivial amounts of time on these projects. It's surprising to hear that anyone, even the companies with big budgets, are able to hire eno

Does someone know how these types of projects come to fruition in a big company like Facebook? Are people working on them full time (with no other workload)? Do engineers build them on the weekend? How do they get 'funded'?
