I'd imagine that the number of successful entrepreneurs that couldn't find employment if they wanted to is pretty low. Personally, and from what I've seen, entrepreneurs and self-employed people just really really don't like working for

I used to think on similar lines, that at some point there wouldn't be enough work to do. But it's absolutely Utopian horseshit. There is ALWAYS useful work to do sometimes there's just of shortage of funds or skilled workers to do it. Lo

I don't know what the overall employment rate has to do with this. The article looks at the relative employment rate of people who have attended college vs those who haven't. People who have attended college should be more qualified for mo

>Deciding that millions of new graduates aren't getting jobs because they are lazy is one of the more ignorant and lazy arguments I've ever seen. How do you interpret the linked article then? "Mopping floors" doesn't literally mean mop

Haha, just wait until/if it drops below $38... the banks could get hosed on this.

It's interesting how money clouds people's judgements. I don't see the counter-offer as offensive, I would take it as a compliment that they really wanted to keep you(of course it stings to know that you were probably underpaying you while

Less time sitting in traffic due to more efficient road usage could help maybe? Also if self driving cars became the norm, I could see a lot of automobile usage becoming similar to a "taxi" situation where the nearest car picks you up, and

Blizzard very intentionally made it online only to combat piracy. Not only that but I read they have units/loot/and map layouts generated server side to make it much more difficult for the crackers to release something playable. The serve

I think "competing with piracy" is pretty stupid phrase that legitimizes piracy. I could care less if people pirate(for whatever reason), but they shouldn't pretend that it's ethical. Or that trying to curb piracy is a bad thing. The big c

I'm a successful app developer and I can't help but feel that this kind of approach is not the right way to go about. App-stores are "hit based", at that level of revenue you should be thinking, "how do I make this go up an order of magnit

The idea that you should "compete" with pirates is absurd logic that is a product cognitive dissonance. I'm all for improving the quality of service that companies provide, but at the end of the day content is content, and must be paid for

There's no way to stop piracy, everyone knows this. The key is too slow it down and make it more troublesome. Just like there's no such thing as a safe that can't be broken into, that's not the point of anti-piracy measures. Piracy is a p

Zuckerburg was scared that instagram would dominate photosharing on mobile. Photosharing is key to facebook's success. That's why he bought instagram. Nothing more nothing less. Monetary Value = how much someone is willing to pay. Facebo

I disagree, it has a cool design but I think it's too cute/different for a b2b invoicing product. To me it says "we are a trendy startup that might not be around very long" rather than "we are a professional company you can trust to handle

There's is nothing wrong with honest work, but if you are a highly skilled programmer and think that HFT is the most impactful/important work you can do. Then you aren't thinking hard enough.

I have no opinion on whether more liquidity and "lowering the cost of trading" is a net good or bad. On the one hand it means less profit for market makers and a slightly lower price to buy stocks. On the other it means more volatility wh

I'll say it very simply: People insist that more liquidity is a good thing. I'm saying it's not that good, and we have plenty of liquidity already. Companies that do HFT(and otherwise provide more liquidity) are part of the larger probl

Well the question is what's the point of the stock market and financial sector if the only time investment is really happening is when shares are offered. The answer the parent suggested is that the stock market provides liquidity that is

Most markets have far more liquidity than is really needed.

The drawback is that for many games the most exposure and sales is going to be when it's released, so you want to polish and perfect it as much as possible to maximize that. I think the strategy works better for games that are intended for

These kinds of sprite based games have been around for decades and used to be developed on hardware orders of magnitude less powerful. The fact that such a thing would ever have performance problems on modern hardware is a joke and shows h

There is no wear and tear with digital goods, which makes them a different beast. Even though the author is obviously biased, the article posits some valid points I think. -If gamestop really is strongly pushing used games over new, that's
