Can you please say from who? I'm gearing up for this and I wouldn't hesitate at 200 a month.

Yeah my purely speculative, non scientific list goes like this: 1) The Bay Area (Silicon Valley + SF etc.) - Pretty much perpetually 2) NYC 3) Austin,Tx and Boston are tied 3.5) Chicago 4) Seattle, Boulder,Co ; and Los Angeles are tied 5) A

This. Slightly different though. HN has made me a lot more comfortable with the fact that I have chosen not to move back to the bay area yet. I did an internship at Yahoo out there before I finished school. I'm in Austin, Tx now and thinkin

My pet theory is that those companies lose the ability to retain, much less attract, top talent as more mba's and business types who are just looking at the bottom line takeover. They can't recreate the early magic because they couldn't hav

As gojimo said in an ealier comment "In practice, still, most exits would still have some notice." Companies just like to have the option. You could say it was confidence on her part. Now we could have another discussion about whether or no

Not a lawyer or anything of that sort. Law is sort of small hobby for me: I read every word of anything I sign and I paid a decent amount of attention in a business law class I took in college. A great introductory book on the subject you c

I completely disagree. Tech is supposed to be meritocracy. Anyone here who would discount other's because of perceived charity is shortsighted at best and ignorant asshole at worst. All we are supposed to care about is can you code and/or h

Forget the review and videos. What about service? Stores as large as mighty Wal-mart itself are hardly staffed anymore. When I want to ask where something is I find myself increasingly having to bother an already busy person at the cash reg

As primarily a web developer, it saddens me how much truth there is to this statement from the article: The current version of the app is essentially an Objective-C shell with a Web browser inside. When it comes to speed, this is like putt

Or explicitly making the wrong friend. CNBC has this show I like to watch called American Greed where they talk about people who do scams from large to small. They had a great episode about the guy he got caught dealing with Raj Rajaratnam

Slightly off topic but a hobby I've picked up recently is breaking web based "no copy/paste" schemes. Usually people map onmousedown,click,oncontextmenu, etc. events or some permutation there of to return false and have an alert that say's

I agree with all you said except the software being the icing on the top part. Apple knows its the end to end experience (software to hardware). Apple is just fortunate to be in the very small category (if not the singular player) of compan
