Please don't remind me about this. I'm pretty sure every guy knows all this already and unless you have a super hippy / progressive girlfriend (and even then..) you will ultimately find out that even the most rational women could give a cra

In my experience its been much easier to pitch clients by quoting an hourly rate, every time I've tried to do a project rate it falls flat. I can't tell if its sticker shock or my presentation of the value isn't very good. Love to hear if t

Like many folks I've been burned a number of times when I locked into software that was "free forever". Usually not because the software owner put up a paywall, but because the business was found unsustainable and it was either sold or they

Is LaTeX only for academic papers? I have a client who needs to put a large volume of brochure-ready technical specifications on both the web and rendered as attractive downloadable as PDFs, in a hopefully machine-readable format. Really cu

A CEO of a company I worked for once told me that the best thing to do here is realize the end is near and do everything to save some of the money from going down the drain early so you can return something to the investors. This will get y

I bet there would be economic opportunity in developing commercial dolphin-human communication software and interfaces. Imagine how much benefit to deep sea construction and exploration there would be if training and employing dolphins usin

Yea I find this curious as well, what are the odds of that happening? How many other chunks of rock could be heading our way right now that are too small to be spotted?

On a very short time scale. DPRK has a colossal amount of heavy artillery sitting just 35 miles from Seoul. To put that in perspective its as if Connecticut had the 4th largest army in the world poised to attack New York City at any time. I

My girlfriend is very into nostalgia and a few months ago put DuckTales on her Netflix queue... At first I laughed at her but quickly realized that the show holds up surprisingly well as an adult - as the article mentioned, the stories are

The woman who is working on it is based out of USC, and in Los Angeles I think this would be extremely feasible - many buildings don't even have heat or air conditioning and generally only get hot based on the position of the sun, since the

The video of her TEDx talk was worth the watch. I'm a little skeptical of how practical this would be for widespread use, but I find the concept pretty exciting

A few notes from someone who's worked remotely roughly 60% of the last 10 years - 1) Most investors know that startups are generally at a disadvantage with a remote team and give founders shit for hiring remote people. I've found thats one

I think Southern California has a distinctive accent. I'm not a linguist and can't place exactly what it is, but I can definitely hear it very clearly. I think there's a hard "a" and dragging out syllables at the end of a sentence like a qu

This happened to me the exact same way. Couldn't get anyone on board so I bought a plane ticket to Hong Kong by myself randomly one night and it was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I've done a few other solo trips since. I think the

There are a LOT of artists these days who are not on labels and doing quite well. This guy may be the first to reach #1 on the charts but I think its a stretch to suggest he single handedly changed the record industry

Buying some useless plastic that goes in the trash in order to support an artist is really flawed logic, and if a musician is still relying on that method then they are setting themselves up for a sad, obviously losing battle. You might as

At first I was going to agree with you, but then thought about how extortionate the commissions are for most tech recruiters... If they are trying to recruit smart talent with a lot of free time on their hands (IE nerdy college students), t

For 5 years I lived in a house in Los Angeles, where one of the previous residents had been a member of Sea Org - almost 10 years before we moved in. We would receive a piece of mail addressed to him from Scientology almost every single day

Keep in mind that NYC and Chicago have the unfair advantage of having most of their rail infrastructure already built during the private rail transportation boom from the 1800's to WWII. Most of the subways and rail transit in these regions

News flash - YouTube also has a TOS that allows them to license and resell your uploaded content and it has worked this way for years.

Isn't this how YouTube policy works as well? As I recall YouTube is always the rights holder - if a YouTube video is played on TV the TV program pays royalties to YouTube and the user gets nothing.

I have been part of a team innovating on one of those 800,000 pound gorillas' SMB payroll products. All I can say is that you are correct, that is an untrue statement.
