So, I generally like Dependency Injection (except that it makes things hard to debug) The code tends to be cleaner and there's less of it. It's also easier to test. But I really dislike reading this kind of code. It is just really hard t

The LinkedIn Skills Recommender is one of the most impressive features LinkedIn has released in a long time, both from a UI perspective and a data science perspective. Here's what they are trying to do (long term) http://news.cnet.com/830

Prop 30 did address bad schools by avoiding "trigger cuts" of 6 billion dollars in 2012-13 [1] $5.4 billion to K–14 education and $500 million to public universities. http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/30/analysis.htm

It appears that the author is upset that his post-liquidity tax planning has been up-ended by prop 30. His argument only applies to entrepreneurs who have had an exit in 2012, and little to no income before that. This is a pretty narrow gr

Funny, I re-started using it again last year after ignoring it for several years. I've noticed I get lots of little freebies when I check in via foursquare. Ie., $5-$10 off a meal if i use my amex, a free dessert etc. Lots of local busine

This makes sense if employees are paid hourly. But if they are, the amount of time they are spending in meetings is far more limited than salaried employees.

Has anyone had a good experience hiring via StackOverflow Careers? I've found it to be expensive, and it doesn't necessarily provide more or better candidates than craiglist, Indeed or LinkedIn.

Since everyone is on the 3D thing ... What about a Kinko's for 3D printing?

Agree. I thought this was some sort of add-on to Storify.

Yup. You guys are doing a great job, I don't think of this as competitive. Image conversion is brilliant. Keep it up!

Ie., if you made 500k in one period, but then lost 50k a year for the next 10 years, you've made a net profit of 0. All I know is that you had one good run, similar to how some mutual funds have a good run for a while. How much did you spe

This is just glorified gambling. I am not sure what special insight or advantage he had, other than his own model. Every trader has a model. It could have easily been called "how i lost 500k with machine learning". Like gambling, it's ea

Nice design. I wish that you focused on one thing - travel, cars, whatever. By doing everything, I'm not sure what to do. It also feels a little ... lonely? It'd be better if you had some hint of user activity on here. I was hesitant to

It is a fun exercise to do these kinds of things. Obviously, they are very inefficient. But that is not the point! Perhaps there's some residual value related to some Dropbox feature (such as automatic replication) that makes this usefu

I wonder how many people use FF exclusively. This is what breaks all these fancy bookmarking apps for me. I use Chrome, FF, Safari, even IE, depending on what computer I am on. If I had to standardize on a single browser for the bookmarks

Worth the read just for this: The pizza place was very confused by this, but they send the pizza guy without a pizza, Kyle answers the door, and the pizza guy says, "The site is down."

The irony is rich here. A blog post of 21 paragraphs and 1,302 words devoted to brevity? I did him a favor of shortening it. http://tldr.io/tldrs/507b5e078edaf0c942000faa BTW - "I do not believe email is not a long form communication med

Imagine if LOTR was on github... I like the idea of modularization in fiction. This already happens in fan fiction, but you have to extract most of the parts yourself (I think?) It would be really useful in SF/Fantasy novels where you have
