   This data isn't as hard to collect as it seems. Contact each company, and ask then. There are less than 1000 data points here.

   I could see this model work really well by focusing on a specific set of larger tech companies - ie, Google, FB, Twitter. I like that your incentives are aligned with employees, and not split (in the way that recruiters are) You'd be

   Seems like this is a little bit cleaner than using stripe-ruby + stripe_event + checkout.js. I've never tried stripe-rails. I get the idea behind making this code async. I've never experienced slowness with Stripe's API, bu

   This post is pretty light on justification. 20% retention is neither good nor bad. There are a lot of businesses that survive on one or two events a year. If you are in the business of selling metrics software (like his friend at MixPanel

   Life expectancy has increased from 59.7 in 1930 to 78.7 in 2010 in the US. No one is solving mortality, but it certainly will continue to get delayed!

    Don't worry about launching a real product. That's not where you start. Do you have access to customers? A market? Something that can make you money? Forget that you have all these software dev skills and focus instead on bus

    I like to think of it as a recursive function instead of a treadmill. You get a TV that fits your house. But you want a bigger house. Then, the TV seems too small, the house seems bare, and your car is not nice enough for the neighbhorhoo

    Perhaps you could open source it? This would accomplish a few things - since it's a "feature" and not a "product", this would make it easier for other developers to integrate into their products. Secondly, it would

    I thought the Z-Machine technology was really interesting. It seems that it was what caused games like Zork to be successful, but also what caused their graphical games to fail.

    I think it's more important for kids to learn to code, that it is to be consistent about using non-free software. Scratch is free, committed to open source, and is frankly the best software out there for getting young kids excited abou

    It is unfortunate that Tim Armstrong made these statements and all of us who have had this experience need to relive it. My daughter also had an extraordinary birth, and was saved by the incredibly expert care of a dedicated team of medical

    My condolences. It costs a lot, but I'm sure the costs to your family were much higher that what the insurance company paid.
