Great perspective! From my own experience, having a strong grasp of the overall architecture and implications thereof is very important, however, thinking that you can do better than the Engineering team or that you know how that system sho

Unfortunately, many MBAs are still looking at the world through a manufacturing lens. Software sector is fairly different in that you don't have a conveyor belt and "plant size" is only marginally useful in that you cannot re

People in that situation rarely have assets that can be seized, so a bankruptcy is meaningless. You also missed that Obamacare really does take care of a large chunk of the problem, as flawed as it is. The paid options with large assistance

That's not entirely true. Hospitals here are not allowed to turn away those in need, even if they have no insurance. The stays usually turn into uncollectible debts for the hospitals. With obamacare (Affordable Healthcare Act), the fre

You start describing a very positive situation where a Dr. is able to spend more time with a patient, but then immediately turn it into a zero sum situation where people have to be relegated to lesser care. How about having more doctors in

What you are describing is a world where only big, well financed, or well known entities can survive. In order to keep the amazing internet we actually have, we need to come up with a model that can be used by small upstarts to either serve

You also have to look at labor participation rate, as discouraged workers who stop looking for a job are not counted in unemployment numbers: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_303.htm Note an interesting trend that while

There is no need for personal attacks when someone is expressing their genuine opinion. Collaboration requires courtesy and both parties should respect each other's train of thought for it to work, regardless of the venue, be it office

PG really summed it up well - Maker's schedule is quite different from Manager's schedule: http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html . From OPs profile he is more of a manager than a maker.

That was last year :) Friends are looking for a 2BR with $2500 budget and it's a really sad experience. If you are willing to spend $3500, you can do much better, but still not prime SM or Venice locations or Playa Vista (newest hotbed

The rent around RadPad is not that cheap. While you might be able to find something for that price, it won't be pretty. Most of westside is starting to be as expensive as Venice/Santa Monica and these two aren't that differen

What if the phone is on your desk or holder in the car? You can always unlock it the normal way with pin or pattern, but it's not as convenient as the fingerprint reader.

by sologoub 11y ago
The placement of the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone strikes me as a bit odd. I get that they had to not copy iPhone placement, but this means you have to pickup the phone to unlock it, as opposed to just touch it. Wonder how ph

These should be mandatory for any new road construction through existing habitats. Even driving on California's central coast (pretty populated area), you see a lot of roadkill like deer, foxes, bobcats, etc. Very sad and I'm sure

Unfortunately, most marketers that focus on brand awareness would say that eliciting any reaction to a brand is better than not eliciting the reaction at all. I don't have any studies on hand, but it would be interesting to test whethe

There is no objective measure that can encompass all. For example take Libya, under Gaddafi it enjoyed relative stability but individuals suffered from the regime. Now certain groups have more than what they had before, but as a whole Libya

They are responding to a chance of additional regulation from a political candidate that hasn't been elected yet. To me that's fear and fear is an emotion.

Article doesn't sound like it's blaming Clinton, as much as pointing out that the spotlight on the issue is causing markets to expect additional interference and thus lower returns. It's an emotional response.

First of all, I'm expressing an opinion, which you are free to disagree with, and, in fact, your disagreement is just an opinion as well, which you are fully entitled to and I thank you for sharing. That said, the evidence is that this

Agree that we should expect more of military and government, but given the fact that a lawsuit was required here and the rampant abuses in the name of national security, we are a long ways off.

Sure, but how is this relevant to the point I'm making that for the kickstarter and crowdfunding community, it would be better if this was a criminal fraud prosecution as opposed civil commerce-related proceedings?

by sologoub 11y ago
Fraud is a criminal offense. These are civil proceedings. I would much rather see criminal charges as opposed to this because of the chilling effect such precedent will have. People who want to try a project in good faith will now think twi

On iPhone, the marketing theme loads way zoomed in. Doesn't seem intentional, so probably a bug.
