Could it be that golf uses the term because par means equal. Its a pretty common phrase and means the same as 'not at par', 'up to snuff','not at the same level'. I've especially seen it used in hiring (hi

Seriously- FedEx, UPS, Walmart have incredibly efficient logistics and operate with very thin margins. If Uber Lyft are relying on going up against them instead of the inefficient taxis- they are seriously smoking something illegal.

The cloud cover in Seattle from November to March and the unpredictable sunny days make it a torture if you are not heads down in your work (indoor). The rest of the year and great surroundings make it up a bit.

Not the OP- it's not fudging. As a business you get to choose what kind of accounting standards you want to follow. When someone says GAAP basis, it means the closest to a good or universally accepted accounting method (or straightfor

This is just beyond me. How did the radars not see the front portion of the truck, the front wheels, the underbody of the container isn't that high to let the entire car go through?

If they didn't take VC Money it would be great. For a VC, a startup refusing to go IPO is like a bank that takes your money offering you a high interest on your checking account, but when you go to get it out, says oops sorry, it went

OK- Granted their UX sucks, if you use it for other than looking up people. I always suspected that may partly be intentional to prevent people and bots digging too much, scraping, misusing and using it for spam

No setbacks, in many people's opinion is that it creates a tunnel like effect on the street and cuts out light on the lower floors shops and offices. Its also not the norm in the Area. I guess setbacks are a 'nice to have' i

What's interesting about this deal is what didn't happen 1. Google who is right next door and wants to make a dent in Cloud didn't go after them 2. LinkedIn who is a monopoly in this category- decided to give up trying to go

I have no idea when people say Linkedin UI is awful. To me it is better looking, arranged and pleasing to look at than 99% of similar tools. (Monster, Glassdoor, Indeed, facebook) On the other hand, I absolutely hate Microsoft's UI on

Build Baby Build! I was first aghast when I saw the new big apartment buildings coming up on El Camino Real and San Antonio Ave in Mountain View and Sunnyvale- with barely 1-5 feet set back from the the sidewalk. Then I realized which side

They are just trying to get you hooked and habituated because once you get accustomed to it- they know you will be a life (or at least a very long term) customer.

Wow- This must be hard for Buffett to explain to Bill Gates- his close friend. Did he ever invest in Microsoft?

For one company to take up 50% of the really scarce H1b quota (65,000) is just not fair. To do it to get a lil lower cost worker is inexcusable. I have no issue with Infosys's offshoring- only their unfair gobbling up of the H1b visas.

Would've expected YC to know this. Infosys hogs half the highly skilled worker H1b quota every year at an average salary of $80K in effect denying many startups and founders the ability. http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-S

Seriously. I think they make it clear even to non-techies that GE is the place for Train Engines and Bulbs! I was shocked they were perpetuating the perception people have of GE.
