I feel like Congress must have known what was going on. Washington is all about using secrets as political currency. I find it hard to believe that so many politicians had no idea. Most likely trying to deflect negative public reaction.

A big issue is that after all these revelations it is clear that the NSA and other branches of government has not been transparent. The trust has eroded and it's hard to take Obama at face value when he says he may end or reduce these

I found the Lean Startup by Eric Ries to be useful in helping me focus my efforts. Also, Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, by Chip and Dan Heath. This helped create more effective and compelling content. It's very

That part rang true for me too. Completely agree that millenials are going to be disappointed with leaders representing the old culture.

It would be interesting to see the age data for services like SnapChat and Instagram (maybe this was included in FB's age range).

It's great to see that Microsoft has begun to put a greater emphasis on design. It will be interesting to see if they are able to win some of the 'cool factor' from Apple.

Comparing what the NSA is currently doing in the USA to what was going on in East Germany is a stretch. I hope we learn more about how the NSA is scaling their operation due to the absurd amount of data they have. In East Germany they had t

Interesting read. As someone trying to build my own company it's nice to have Seth reminding us that the companies that have sudden surges in users is not the norm. For the ones that do have a sudden increase, most were working diligently f

If I read their about page right, they only check your mail a few times a week (3x), then if you decide you do want a specific piece of mail they've scanned they will send it back to you. So you still end up checking your mail waiting for t

Thanks for the feedback. I am looking more for an introduction to programming so perhaps Dev Bootcamp does make sense. I feel that it can't hurt to have a general understanding of coding when trying to get a role as a PM.

After readying HN for many years, I've finally created my own project. It's designed to help teach college students and recent graduates how to use informational interviews to reach their career goals. Its is probably more applicable to stu

Completely agree with you. I was very excited when I heard about the HBO Go app and was looking forward to paying HBO for their excellent content. Similarly I was frustrated to find you need cable TV and Comcast to use it. Still trying to f

He makes a lot of good points and his actionable list of suggestions is helpful. But, I won't keep my fingers crossed for any of them being used by TSA.

Good article. Good luck jumping into coding. As a non-tech co-founder I've been considering this, but have always been worried that I'd pour my time into this and not see great results. Looking forward to reading your 90day write-up.

This is exactly what I've been experiencing. It's been immensely difficult to find a technical co-founder so I've resigned to have a programmer build the basic prototype...

Yes, I've noticed an increase in speed over the last couple of days. Keep up the good work!
