Interesting article but it would have been even more interesting if the author had chosen to go more in depth about his daily activities and how Suelo copes with loneliness and boredom. IMO, these problems would be much more difficult than

The premise of this article is rather superficial. You could just as easily argue that firms with older partners know the best investments because they have been around longer. To reduce the success of a firm down to age seems rather dumb.

I found the first half of this talk to be a little crass and not very substantive. The second half contained a few interesting answers in the q & a. Gary brings so much energy though that this is a decent keynote if you're looking to be

On a related note, for the past year I've lived in a city with time-limited parking spaces on the street (i.e. "Two hour parking this block this day" or something similar). I would love to have something that detects when the meter maid com

You're not adding anything to the conversation. If you had said, "Yea I don't have a college degree and I've taught myself six different programming languages and I'm working on x, y and z right now," that would have been a (marginally) bet

On a similar, yet somewhat unrelated note,I often catch my own mind working like a search engine. When there's something that I'm trying to recall, for instance the contents of an article I read a couple months ago, I know exactly where I c

I think you're right. I recently graduated from one of the nation's top universities and I can tell you first hand that only a couple years ago, you could ask almost any ambitious student what their aspirations were after college and the de

Here's a decent article on Gabler from back in the day: http://www.virginia.edu/insideuva/2003/11/gabler_kyle.html although it doesn't display any of his work. My roommate was managing editor last year for the CD and he likes to brag abou
