While the tone is sarcastic and downvoted, I somewhat agree with this poster. Maybe if this article were written six+ months ago, before the ad market tanked, this would have been a much more interesting topic.

"We interview people for culture fit. We want people who are passionate about what Zappos is about--service. I don't care if they're passionate about shoes." I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is. Perhaps I'm used to software--in which

Uh, I'm 100% not going to resort to ad-hominem attacks, but I don't think that, knowing that you are aware of the current state of taxes and fail to plan for them, I don't think you'll find a person on this board who thinks you're anything

He also changed the link (while I was writing a comment). It now points to the general NAAL site, instead of that graph, so that you'd have to dig through a wad of information before discovering the link doesn't back up his claim. Bunk.

It's also worthwhile to note that while creating m1-large instances in [our] us-east-1a zone, we've been hitting insufficient resources exceptions when attempting to bring up instances. Now's an excellent time to apportion for mission-criti

Uh..ease up. He's pretty much just repeating their criteria verbatim, which are relevant regardless of what the strata names are. If they're prepared to fund 1,000 companies they think are _really_ likely to make it, I think that implies th

There is no way this is going to be truly good for the local economy, that bridge may make it _easier_, but it won't make it _possible_ (meaning, transit was already ver, very possible). Redmond is tiny, if you can't get motivated enough to

The issue is control? As Executive Vice President (note that a conjugation of execution is in the title), if you don't have control enough to stop poor risk management that you're aware of in your own division...something's already very, ve
