Until early adopters play with smartwatches, we won't really know what they are really useful for. Give it time (no pun intended).

I'm of two minds on this one. On one hand, remote work is perfectly awesome. I do it. I work for a company that does it. It's a great way to run a company, although it is almost impossible if everyone else is at headquarters are y

Hey, please replace Google Groups. It's the worst best solution out there. We use Google Groups a lot for our b2b software trade association ( http://www.thesmallbusinessweb.com ) One key question. Typical startup conundrum.

As a junior, you're expected to ask stupid questions. Despite what you may fear, otherwise you can't learn fast enough and it's too expensive to keep you around. Also, if it's not obvious on a cold reading, it has a good

A related question. I'm wondering what other people do to ensure quality of outsourced code. I'm intrigued at Codacy. A lint in the cloud could solve some of my problems, but probably not all. I'm in the position of occasiona

I don't think that's a gendered issue. It's hard to be a founder and raise kids at the same time. Kids are a startup--a human startup. Good luck!

Yes because browser implementations do not allow casual DELETE requests. There is a reason the standard says not to use GET for destructive changes.

Careful. Usage trumps usage stats. If the user experience is better, the stats will adapt.

And I can put that delete URI in an <img src=""> and have your browser or iPhone email automatically destroy your document before you can stop it.

I don't understand why you insist changing operations like create, update and delete should be HTTP GET. That is a security nightmare.

Success is borne on the back of work you hate. The difference between the top and the rest are those who persevered through the grinding, gruelling agony of doing what it takes to get where they wanted to go. If you only have the self-disci

Why? Many companies have on site daycare. It helps parents who need to commute by saving them a trip and the stress of arriving late to daycare on the way home. Clever pun though.

What is the lesson there? To give up passion and go through life jaded and without colour? I also killed myself working for Ottawa start ups that failed. I decided that I should take more responsibility for a company's success and push

I remember arcade games that were designed to eat quarters. They did very well. People loved them. Seems that people love these games. I don't know why either but I still burn through quarters playing Area 51 whenever I find it. Go fig

While ideologically I am more likely to agree with the study (hence the need for more caution), the results seem possibly (I bet, more) likely due to the Hawthorne effect. That is the kids and teachers felt they were special because of the

Just to play the armchair investor game... With 2000 customers, what might be their annual revenue (they say in the millions)? $2-4 million? Their evaluation must be a huge multiple of revenue. I therefore imagine their belief is they have

Well, you can easily statistically measure the funnel of applicants to interviews to hired by gender and verify this claim. I doubt you will find the problem is multiplied hidden biases in the interviewing process. Really there usually aren

I think his declaring something as impressive or not in an objective way is fraught with peril since impression is always a subjective feeling. If it impressed you, it is impressive. However that being said 2.days.ago is not a particularly

What if I gave you one hundred dollar bills and said this is all the money you had to spend. Once it's spent, it's spent, and you can never get any more. How much would you spend on movie ticket? A blissful escape, sure, but you p

Ok, let me pull the quote and be more direct about my reaction. "One quality that's a really bad indication is a CEO with a strong foreign accent. I'm not sure why. It could be that there are a bunch of subtle things entrepre

Perhaps? Since football is entertainment, it involves building a public image to draw crowds and sell merchandise. This BBC video talks about how Beckham's accent has become more posh over time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/new

Thanks for replying. I guess I should explain further why it is disappointing to me. Accent is intrinsic to a person's sense of self, akin to their religion or ethnicity ( truly ). Asking people to change their sense of self for you is

Totally. That's why I was so surprised the recruiter's only dimension to evaluate communication skills was a candidate's accent . I assumed it would include presentation, negotiation, project management, etc. skills which wo

It could be greed. It could be both projects were useless. It could be something else came along that was better. It could be really anything. Not enough information to draw a conclusion.

Brilliant individuals get hired. I don't believe this article was about them. The anecdotes are about the socially oblivious and the data was a survey of hiring managers, with no indication of how well constructed the survey was.
