Living and working in the Boston tech market, I have a lot of thoughts about Ageism. It's very much alive and well here. There's also a severe case of Elitism if you didn't go to MIT or Harvard, too. I'd like to think m

I want facebook lite: Facebook for Families. Small, tight, private social network. Public social networks to be handled by Twitter (if you so desire), or your own blog, internet page, rss feed, etc.

I assume the NEC is a pretty special case for Amtrak. It would be interesting to see what % revenue for Amtrak comes for the NEC, too. It's such a cornerstone to NE travel. Sold out often, etc.

Don't forget to add airport overhead and potentially the time it takes to get to airport over train station (if you live in the city), getting through security, boarding the plane, waiting to depart, etc. Might not even be a time savin

Not sure why the downvotes? It's pretty obvious there's a lot of jumping to conclusions in the first 10 comments (that's all I read) on that Twitter thread, basically implying that Slack is using ethnicity to close the accoun

Without spending a lot of time on this, I don't believe that Slack just used ethnicity to ban this account. Could the OP have been using VPNs or something that led Slack to believe his IPs were coming from IRAN? I don't see Slack

I saw another article on HN [1] where AWS embedded the Polly-text-to-speech technology to read an article. I hope a lot of progress gets made into this where we can have non-computer sounding voices as it still sounds almost awkwardly digit

Having just been to Shanghai recently, it's amazing how well their bike sharing programs work, compared to where I live in the U.S. in a major city like Boston. I used MoBikes over there so much at like $.15/hour. It was always co

For a startup, though, if it succeeds, you have to assume that a good portion of the code will eventually be refactored at some point, or retired as the buisiness is flushed out. I have a feeling we'll also see some projects for transf

I wonder if their recipes have evolved over the years. Like I mentioned, I haven't used them in four years.

I thought the Blue Apron recipes were too complicated, used too many pans to wash, and wasted too much packaging material. I found no time savings when was all said and done. I have an easy enough time following recipes from books like Amer

I don't know why we pick on FB for this practice, just because they're better at it than existing marketing data out there that's been accumulating for the past 40 years on people. Companies like Axciom, Experian, etc. have

Hmmm...I don't really share the same opinions about JIRA. Complex teams with a lot of stake holders and JIRA was light years better than what was used before. Maybe you just have super simple needs? I also don't see at all what&#

I'm more thinking from the side of all the other employees who either don't care, or have different perspetives on how well the Chinese government might or might not be doing with their tactics. I find the public internet form, e

But this was 139 out of 88K employees [1]. Doesn't seem like that many? How do we interpret the other 87K+? [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/273744/number-of-full-ti...

Since it sounds like you might be a new tech manager, you should sign up for the Rands in Repose Leadership Slack channel [1]. There's a ton of sub-groups, with 1-on-1s being one of them with tons of great advice. There's channels

Or, any company in general. We're not a FANG, and we don't give interviewees feedback after they interview, even when they write us (as a hiring manager). And our HR recruiters likely give an innocuously bane reason for not hiri

A couple of my direct reports are working on their masters from G-Tech online. I'm not very impressed with the curriculum (or at least the classes they're taking). I'd probably go the MBA route to cover your higher-degree, an

You should really be configuring your AWS security groups for the proper inbound/outbound ports. So a failure at that basic level of even opening up access to the machine so fully. You actually have to whitelist everything to be open

My terminals stay open inbetween computer re-boots, so not really a problem? I imagine most dev-types keep terminals open all the time on their local dev machines.
