I think Kyle's pitch could have been fine and he could have avoided 2 years of feeling shamed if pg was a bit more encouraging and patient during the delivery. A little more "yes, and" less "but, why not". Give the

Sure, I have lived in and visited some other countries. Walking off the plane at the airport in Frankfurt and not being sniffed by dogs and treated like enemy of the state: qualitatively better. Receiving free and needed medical attention i

As someone who also came from poverty and dealt with some of these feelings, I found it helped to consider things on a global scale. Just being born in America makes me (and you too?) extremely lucky. All your limbs work? You can hear and s

I have a feeling if someone is just learning how DE franchise tax works they're new at this. If they're new at this, $70k would probably be a deathblow. A couple google queries later at the heart stops thumping.

Of course there are plenty of clueful angels/vcs/analysts/bankers/traders/hedge fund operators. Just like there are programmers that are qualified to pick good startups. The stereotypes and generalities are a bit ri

So you're a programmer who knows a lot about finance who thinks programmers don't know anything about finance. Not a banker. Got it. Hey, did you end up investing that 100 million in that factory? It's a prediction market for

that's cute, because as programmers we generally think you bankers have no idea what you're doing.

The prize is based on ROI anyway, right? So the value in having more capital streaming in just means you have the luxury of adjusting your picks. The trade-off being that you're now obligated to put it all to work.

It is becoming more open and less expensive. The point is that the tools for prototyping, simulating, assembly, and manufacturing are becoming much cheaper. Along with the fact that people are sharing more. I agree that there is no substitu

These were a bit more useful for me. Each session has a specific mantra that Deepak explains. Oprah's part is the intro, and it is pretty pointless except so she can say she collaborated AFIACT. Anything of this flavor comes with the o

15-20 minutes of meditation before an important meeting or negotiation does wonders for me. I've experimented with an iOS app "Headspace" which was pretty decent, but the patter became a bit repetitive before my trial was ove

I feel like this is essential in pushing humanity forward. Once it becomes commonplace to build a business model around OSHW and drive freedom deeper down the stack we will be that much closer to a post-scarcity world.

I sent you a pull request. I think the Clojure version becomes more performant still if you slurp the nouns into a set so you don't have to do a linear traversal. Also, I think the regex usage makes the code a little harder to digest and co

Am I missing something? You still have the same problem with RSUs. RSU value can decline enough that your staff may feel they're no longer getting fair comp and move on.

Just to add to this, the Cocos2d team has been advising developers to use the Javascript bindings since the last half of last year. The same codebase can be written and deployed cross-device and to the web with Cocos2d-html5. With Spidermon

I too grew up reading Fravia and absolutely loved his tutorials. One nostalgic evening several months ago I went googling for his tutorials and was saddened to see he had passed. I've been very curious ever since to know what he wrote in hi

Steve also says in this recording that he thinks the talent gap is only about 2:1 for hardware engineers. I'd like to hear from anyone in that field on whether or not they agree.

I don't think I would describe most of these protocols as "dead simple". Consider the multitude of attacks that existed/continue to exist against some of these protocols after decades of use. TCP reliable transmission and flow control are p

There are a couple of pinball documentaries I watched recently which are probably interesting to some here: "Special When Lit" and "Tilt: The Battle To Save Pinball" RIP Steve Kordek. Great contributions to an amazing game.

I'm looking for a good solution for continuous integration of OS X/iOS builds. By the looks of these comments, this isn't it. Does anyone have more worthy suggestions?
