You'll be surprised.. I've seen 3 people per room, 9 people per apartment, many times. NYC is a strange place.

How are the doctors practicing pseudo-medicine?

Hmm, I guess that would work, but it seems like an incredible amount of overhead to me. So you'd need to code that "switch" for every bugfix/feature? And even if there are libraries to do that, you'd still need to add custom code for every

What about the user acceptance testing stage? The way the process was described in the article, looks like the process is code -> run unit tests -> run automated tests -> code review -> deploy. I may be missing something, bu

Nope. I agree with the article... I would've not argued either. Actually, I don't even try to persuade my closest friends that I've known for 15 years. Up until a couple of years ago, I loved preaching and talking about life goals, etc.. bu

I don't speak Chinese or Japanese, but people that do told me that there are more than five ways to pronounce "yi", they all mean different things, but they're all transliterated to English in the same way. However, that's not what I meant.

I don't necessarily think it's bad. It's evolution. It's much more efficient to have each character represent a sound (western way) than a word (Chinese/Japanese/etc way), anyway. The cultural loss is sad, sure, but in the end, it's surviva

Recruiters who come from technical backgrounds are the best ones. One of my good friends has a CS degree and been working as recruiter here in NYC, he's making over 300K/year. Despite having a CS degree, he's not a typical geek though - ver

Being good at C can be very profitable in a money sense of the word too. Bloomberg is one example that hires a lot of C hackers and pays them obscure amounts of money (very very long hours though)

Here is what worked for me. At some point (a long long time ago), I came pretty close, and one day I wrote a long, very thorough explanation of what exactly was wrong and why I was going to do it. After finishing it, I read it with a critic

In a way, this exemplifies what's wrong with the approach Linux desktop/application developers have been taking for years: create something amazing, but forget one small detail, rendering the whole thing completely useless, and causing 99%

I couldn't agree more with this. I personally know a few bright, talented entrepreneurs that are very frustrated with they have to constantly worry about their visa situation instead of their startup. I'm an immigrant myself, but I came her

This is my perfect schedule that I do when everything goes right. Sometimes I deviate from it. Also, I'm a single man living in NYC, so YMMV. 9 AM: Wake up, go to the gym 10 AM: Shower/shave/etc, get dressed 11 AM: Arrive at the office - As

This is a very difficult issue to try to remain impartial on, since I'm a man and an entrepreneur myself, and Elon Musk has been an inspiration for many years. I'm really trying though... but the fact that his ex-wife is trying to get a sha

Here is a suggestion for you. I know I, and at least 15 other people will immediately switch if you make Citibusiness Online support work. Check out this thread from Mint's support forum: http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/citi_busin

Sure, it's not $7/per hour but it's not $100/per hour either. You'd be surprised.

I would've changed the article name to "Outsourcing to India doesn't work". I fully agree with that, and can share many more horror stories. However - domestic outsourcing (such as to the company that I run ;)) does work. We use TDD, source

Still far far from usable to us. Assembla offers free unlimited git/svn repos, and it works great.

They have a "postnup", which is very different.. Apparently, she still signed it even though they were married already (which was not that smart of her to do)

FWIW, it's extremely suspicious that he appears broke in the middle of a divorce - of all times. But he may be telling the truth, obviously I don't know his situation. What I do know, is when I get married, it won't happen without a prenup.

For me, weighing myself has little to do with helping willpower - I still get days where I just feel like gorging on whatever's available in the fridge, willpower be damned. And I think the trick is to get yourself to a point where you don'

I actually completely disagree with this main idea. Everybody eventually gives up, no one has 100% steel willpower, we're all human. I would be very interested to see and update in a year or so, to see if the author has managed to keep the

I've read somewhere that his voice actually was actually one of the reasons for him becoming a boxer. He was bullied in school for his lisp, and in order to stand up to them and take up boxing.
