Many online companies now let you get a personal loan in far less time, id say in under an hour for most people. There may be a veritification process that adds on time but it's definitely not required for everyone (and usually are fo

I was in a boot camp and have worked at two companies. The hiring managers at both looked for unteachable skills (e.g. analytic ability, proactiveness, hunger) and figured youd pick up the rest. The skills I learned in boot camp were most

I don't think it's just government. Youd also have to go thru all the existing private land owners for a 50 mile track. And there may be some hope - marin and Sonoma counties just built a train. http://main.sonomamarin

It is if houses were much much cheaper. Shit I had a 2 hr daily round commute INSIDE San francisco, taking bus from the ocean and then walking to office. Id be beside my self if there was cheap housing an hour commute away.

I thought the article was weak. There was barely a change in displacement with new market rate housing vs not. My biggest issue is the highway theory - build more lanes, commute time is shorter, more people drive, purpose defeated. Here b

To your point of huge emotional drain, I was surprised at the behavior that the article mentioned about rejected candidates reacting to feedback. It's like they never felt failure before... I like her saying - chew the meat, spit out

No the article was careful to note they don't cause the decline. Rather youd want to involve them in early early tests of products. If they like it change something quick!

At the end of the day their opinion does matter and is important. For a restaurant that has 1000 reviews the rating and comments are made up of each of those reviews. It's important to potential customers and hopefully the establishm

I think that's too strong of a statement. Victims aren't considered heroes. Rather, social media enables broader transmissions of stories, and people connect with certain stories, so people playing victim card may receive sympat

Thanks all for your help. I ended up taking the highest salary that give a little equity. I ran my expenses and it gets tight, but I know if this stock takes off, I'd kick myself if I didn't have at least a little something in it

This article captured exactly how I feel. Airbnb has become it's own worst enemy by getting greedy and not proactively removing bad actors who make them money. And I really hope SF passes prop F to force their hand.

Neat idea. This is how I first learned to code HTML when I was 10 - copying and pasting my friend's HTML on angelfire, and later, copying matts script archive for perl code. I wonder what long term strategy is for customer retention?
