It will take some time, but is not outside of the realm of possibility. The cable providers subsidize the premium channels, which makes an exclusive alliance with the providers very lucrative. Direct sales could be profitable, but they run

Among apps, $2.99 is quite high. The average price per app in the store is roughly $1.40, and the average selling price is likely less than 50 cents (I'm unsure, because reporting is only available for average overall price, not average sal

I think the precedent is certainly different for use of prescription drugs that were acquired through dubious means.

First of all, the two are not mutually exclusive. She explicitly states that she was better able to perform at work and experienced a better social life, but also faced emotional problems. To the second point, he probably is. This is to be

On the economic note, I'm actually quite surprised at the level of altruism present in the industry. Although most won't become professionals, the rate of matriculation into the workforce will still be greater than that of football players,

Why? It is generally preferable to occupy one's time with productive action. Learning to program is going to be a futile exercise for 90% of people, and will not result in any change in income or overall happiness for 99% of them. We should

Not necessarily. I think a lot of developers are subjected to employment myopia, because they tend to reside in areas with a high concentration of startups that pay well and have generous benefits and "perks." Outside of those areas, the sp

I was particularly surprised by the referenced outrage over the 65+ hour-per-week job solicitation. 65 hours per week, although inordinate, isn't entirely outrageous. It equates to 12 hours per weekday plus a half day over the weekend, whic

My first thought when reading this was "Jesus Christ are Germany's PTO policies generous." In nations that are more work-centric (eg. the US) the possible billable hours will be nontrivially higher and thus the hourly rate will be significa

I'd say most people who would be in a position to work at stripe (eg. ~5% of the programming population in the bay) are probably already in enough demand such that they aren't compelled to work for drastically reduced or nonexistent wages.

College is not the only source of pre-determined differentiation. The fact that you went to Hacker School is also indicative of superior financial position and accreditation. Hacker School is a very well known and respected program that is

Famous and quasi-famous people generally don't publish their primary email. The whole point of the AMA is that it offers a public forum in which anyone can ask anything to people with whom they generally wouldn't interact.

If anything, it would have no effect because cities tend overwhelmingly democratic, and there are few undecided voters. It's no use appealing to the area with the highest population density if their minds are already made up.

Or did you miss the 6 months of campaigning this year in which the candidates spent almost the entirety of their time and money in a handful of districts? The electoral college coerces candidates into appealing only to a small number of str

For a private conservatory, that may be standard. But among all educational institutions, that exorbitant. Most people do not go to private, liberal arts colleges. They go to state schools or community college.

According to their site, they had a 15% acceptance rate for this school year. http://www.berklee.edu/bt/233/leadsheet.html (Though yes, tuition is a major barrier at > 18k/year.)

Why does his attempt at transparency, even though you doubt its earnestness, make him crazy? Most politicians give no justification at all, or only offer totally vacuous platitudes and other bullshit. 100-200 words of justification that y

I don't even think this is necessary. I've done work that is totally beyond what is commensurate with reward for really shitty shirts. Companies can almost certainly get by with poor materials, simply because most people don't account for t

"Fresh-faced?" I think it's reasonable to expect that graduates have a significant number side projects by the time they exit. Anything less seems indicative of a lack of interest.

Pocket is in far wider use, and thus seems like a natural addition. Pinboard, although a relatively unknown service, would also be appreciated.

I would highly recommend against News:yc, if only because of it's meager integration with read-later services. (Exclusively IP.) Although it is, from what I've seen, the best client on iOS, it is still inferior to and more laborious than th

The idea is obviously appealing, but is a pipe dream to which employers will never agree. Employers don't care about one's utility over a lifetime, because they only have access to laborers for a finite period of time. (In most cases 3-6 ye

How does pointing out non-trivial shortcomings and flaws in implementation equate to being "who-can-act-more-jaded-and-know-it-all-ish?" The app has issues. There are limits to its usability. There are methods that circumvent these issues t
