I haven't tried it but I'll check it out. With an agent I could say stuff like - these are roughly the parameters I want to fly under; these are the airlines I'd rather chew razor blades than fly on; use your common sense to figure somethin

An interview shouldn't be a position of superiors grilling an inferior. If you find yourself in that kind of interview you're unlikely to be finding a great working environment. From that I'd suggest an interview should be a meeting of equ

I don't think you can extend his/her argument like that in a valid sense. I don't think he was advocating for a luddite position. The appropriate question is whether or not the move to computers has improved things. Not every step forward

It's a lack of willingness to invest in the infrastructure. Which is a chicken/egg thing - legislators won't vote for investment as voters don't support something that doesn't deliver value.

...or when (like the weekend of the first AngelHack event) you are delayed because your train hits a pedestrian (a horrendous sound by the way - you know exactly what's just happened immediately) then the replacement train is delayed becaus

Yeah, I'm gonna second that. Once I moved from the UK to Silicon Valley - no matter how much I love "back home" and the fact that London truly is one of the great world cities in which to live - there's no way I'm moving back to that weath

This is all kinda sad really. The tech media is pathetic and the same publication "exposing" this unfortunate waste of space (who wouldn't have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of any company that had the self confidence to referen

Firing all of your people because your executive team failed, then those same executives saying they're looking to hire great people, presumably means that you're implying those you just fired weren't great. Not sure great people are going

I suspect many will be skeptical of this research as it's almost become an article of faith that pot smoking is harmless and all criticism to the contrary is merely party-pooping oppression. One of the things that often concerns me about Si

As others have pointed out, this is woefully out of date. But the core issue is that it's actually NOT hard to say no to adding someone on Facebook. Life will go on if you hurt someone's feelings (which you don't really care about as you

I quite like it. I always found the old one to be a bit of a mess on the browser tab. It's never really looked good to me. Happy to see the change.

Not questioning your personal experience but do you have any scientific studies not authored by vendors of the supplements that support this. I have an autistic son, and like most parents in this situation, helping him is my number one pri

The bogus business model of in-game purchasing needs to be called BS on too. Yes I know it works in other countries, but that's usually in intense games where the engagement is high and long term. My household probably counts as a high dol

Not really. Investors need deal flow. If he thought 1MM users was enough he'd be broadcasting that so that services with 1MM users approached him with a pitch. The fact he says 10MM means 1-9MM user startups will skip him. Not a success

I would imagine a lawyer at any of a number of the nations larger law firms would take this on for you on contingency given the rather large sums that McDonald's might be forced to spend settling this with you. These firms are pretty approa

This is just brilliant news for Yahoo. Much as they have become a figure of ridicule in Silicon Valley, I have hoped year after year to see a Yahoo resurgence. This is finally a real chance at a turnaround. Of course now we have to see if

What an incredibly uninformed comments thread. Firstly to the main post, of course philosophy isn't ignored by science. Science is an offshoot of philosophy and happily so. It's a ridiculous premise not born out by the article itself. Se

Be your own technical co-founder. It's the advice I give more than any other when talking to young entrepreneurs. I read this advice a long time ago. Didn't take it seriously enough for far too long, relying on others to do my coding and
