I crashed and burned the first time I encountered fizzbuz. My solution was fine but I didn't believe it could be so easy. I spent the rest of the interview paranoid that I'd embarrassed myself and came across like a paranoid idiot

I don't know where you're getting your data and I've forgotten where I got mine but I believe most companies are started by founders who are 50+ years old. Maybe my data includes 60 year olds, etc... As well. But, we both agr

This is a great point. I like the idea of trial week but I think it's a non-starter for people who are already employed.

Was that guy Banksy? I thought he never let himself be photographed without a disguise? My favorite Banksy was outside of Galapagos when it was in Williamsburg. I loved walking by it until Splatter destroyed it. Now, I'm actually in NY

<off topic> That is the worst web site I've ever tried to read on my phone. It took forever to render and then would only show in minuscule or huge fonts. I couldn't just pinch it to the size I wanted. </off topic>

Sounds like a great startup to me. People who get it, love it. Everyone else is agressively defending the status quo. You sure do make a lot of enemies when you disrupt an industry.

I've trained at 3 CrossFit gums and one was bad. The coach would always try to get you to go too heavy and prescribe rediculous weights for the workouts. The other two are fantastic but totally different from each other. All in all I&#

I just wanted to point out that the author is a politician and not a scientist. Also, the globe has warmed by 6-8 degrees F since the last ice age. The temperature difference that the author considers "beneficial" is the differenc

AT&T was planning to connect every home in America with fiber by the year 2000. Then they were broken up and the project was impossible to complete. The current AT&T is nothing like the old one. It's not even fair to compare th

It would be alarming if a lawyer and his client were using facebook for privileged communications. That's your first hint you need a new lawyer. If they can't understand Facebook's TOS they can't possibly defend you. But

FYI - gaming regulators in different states deal with card counters in different ways. In NV, the casino is allowed to ask you to leave and ban you from the casino. But, not in NJ. in NJ you cannot be barred from a casino for counting cards

Kind of, Trade Hill lost a hundred thousand or so when Dwolla falsified their tranaction record and stuck them with the fraud. This was a bunch of reversed ACHs (which Dwolla claims they don't allow). Very shady company.
