Before you get too pleased with how well this aligns with the president-elect, think about how well this lines up with the current president, or any administration in the past few decades. My point isn't that all of those administratio

Did VC tank the company? As I recall from her book and interviews, she built her business on revenue and only took on capital much later.

It does sound like poor planning, given the known realities of the app store. But I've never understood why Apple feels entitled to a cut of in-app purchases. They aren't providing any added value and in some cases (like w/ K

See also, FLEET[1]. I'm surprised this hasn't gained more traction(or at least hype). I saw Sutherland give a talk about it in 2011/2012 or so. [1] https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs152/fa06/lecnotes&

Maybe GMaps is just polarizing software that seems awesome to some people and awful to others? Unless you're a Googler and/or on the Maps team? :) One thing that is absolutely brain-dead is that (in Chrome) I can't type in ma

>I miss the Wired of ten years ago. This is what I said ten years ago! In truth Wired has always been a lot of hand-wavy hype wrapped around bits of legit interest. I think you just outgrow it eventually.

I can understand this. I feel a little hurt when a really good friend offers a handshake. Handshakes feel like there's a bit of social distance.

Worry less about the average you're paying and focus more on the spread. Employees can always rationalize the big picture. (Our employer pays less but is stable. Our employer pays very well because they hire the best. Etc., etc..) It&#

I hit a speedbump pretty fast when they wanted me to give up my address book. Yik Yak never asked for that. Yik Yak is still on my phone. Both are kind of crappy ideas, but if there was a clear winner it was the people that just let me use

I did a similar post ages ago[1], although less ambitious at only 7 books. I've since read the Turing Omnibus and The Little Schemer and I was glad to see them on the list. I wish I'd had them when I was much younger. In addition

Someone care to explain the downvotes? I refuted and/or clarified an unhelpful comment. And I'm correct.

As a language nerd I always want to see some sample code, even if I can't understand what is happening yet. Just to get some of the flavor of the language. That's pretty hard to find on the site. I did find one of the tutorial dec

This is a good point. I should clarify, Siri technology could do this. I have tried Siri many times and most of the problems seem to revolve around it understanding what I'm saying. Plus it's almost always easier to just do thin
