I used to use unread emails as my to-do list. I recently started using Mailbox, and have embraced the Inbox Zero philosophy of every email in my inbox (regardless of read status) as a to-do item. I've found that nearly everything I do with

I don't think it's conning them into something they don't need. I think it's giving them what they want (shiny, easy to use) so that they have something that they need but don't realize it yet (libre).

The problem with Bob in this example is that he's not a good worker, and doesn't keep his commitments, not that he's working remotely.

Not just ERP, but in my experience people use Excel for everything - project management, data cleansing/manipulation/conversion, test scripts, status reports, etc. All things that can be done better with other tools, but for many people, it

My group of friends (young 20's) all use it, although not very frequently. I have a feeling it will continue to grow outside of college populations.

In most cities this also covers revenues, aka tax collection. It would be nice to see the breakdown on how much of the budget is dedicated to collecting taxes to fund the budget.

The cost to the merchants is then passed on to the customers through higher prices (which they can stand because they're earning so many rewards!). Sure, the merchants would like to get rid of fees, but that would only provide them a short-

I shelled out for Adobe's new month-to-month licensing for exactly this reason (CMYK PSDs). When paying month-to-month, the $700+ license becomes much more palatable.

I'll admit it - I checked the source of "Rock Kickass" to figure out how to kill the boss. Luckily it was nicely commented.

The tech consultant position is more of a "business technology" consultant, which really means consulting on the business side of giant enterprise software installs, like Oracle. Deep technical skills are helpful, but not really necessary.

In that post, your response to the risks section is that "there is literally no chance we're going to fail at delivering incredibly crafted shirts to all our backers." That is so completely disconnected from the world of reality that it sho

But how the law is applied is just as important as its text. A just law applied in a discriminatory way is discriminatory.

He mentioned that ethnic Chinese in China were not subject to systematic oppression (which is debatable, especially depending on your definition of "ethnic Chinese", it's a big country). I think the point he's making is that the same areas

No, but ignoring prior wrongs also don't make them right. The goal should be to try to make the shackled man whole again, not just free. To give him what he needs to participate in society as if he had never been shackled. It doesn't take m

I was also under the impression that BankSimple rebranded to Simple due to regulatory issues (I think certain states have rules about the type of company that can have the word "Bank" in the name).

I went to an IdeaMensch talk by Mike McGee (co-founder), and it was actually surprisingly little. They knew what they wanted to build (a physical school, great space, excellent teachers, etc) but one of their funding opportunities fell thro

Interesting discussions can still be interesting even if the proposal was ultimately rejected. The fact that this was discussed, and that the reasoning behind it was to benefit "lazy programmers" makes it relevant to me. We should always be

According to their most recent 10Q [1], IAC's "Search and Applications" segment (which I'm guessing is mostly Ask.com) had $74M in Operating Income on $350M in Revenue for April - June, 2012. [1] http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=vi
