I’m not the person you’re responding to but I’ll give it a go. The progress angle: When two competitors clash they motivate each other to advance the state of human potential. Today’s elite high school track athlete would have set world rec

what makes Mode/Periscope/Superset/Metabase the same category to you? Is it that they have SQL editing as a main entrypoint?

There’s one outside a movie theater in SF. I use it every time. It’s fun and fast. The coffee tastes good and the UX is easy. The arm is choreographed and does cute dances.

I wonder when a newspaper will try pay-as-you-go. $10 gets you 20 additional article credits in your allowance. Or maybe a cheaper lite subscription with a higher article limit or just A-section or something.

It's a bit preposterous, no serious professional hold this kind of prejudiced view. Yahoo, McK, GS, FB, Uber, etc. might not hold the prestige it used to on your CV, but these things ebb and flow. Microsoft used to be "lame"

When I was an intern at Big Bank, I was literally put into the printer room. Hardly anyone used the printer/copy machine so I was left alone in there for the most part, other than my boss peeking in once in a while to make sure I was s

How does one do this? I've never had a mentor, less a good one, and I can't help but think it's held me back. I've been successful in my career but maybe I'm leaving something on the table?

I've never found this argument convincing. "This is not the bad part of the organization. This is the part they spun up to help bolster their reputation so the bad part can continue to make money". That said, it's a bit

I like to think of autonomous vehicles like trains rather than cars in the general sense. They can operate on pre-existing tracks that were previously unexploited. A lot of track exists out there, and as the technology gets better, they can

I think they have one trick left to play in the short term — I wouldn't be shocked if many people would upgrade their iPhones (who otherwise wouldn't do so) if they released a USB-C version.

Much thanks to Dan for taking the time to write this up. UI dev is a deep and highly technical field, but we’re often inundated with juniorish programmers because it’s often the entry point for folks coming out of school or boot camps. We n

Vanity is the reason, in my experience. For all the downsides of amp, it’s demonstrated that letting go of asthetic vanity in the name of fundamental soundness is a good trade to make.
