Interesting idea. I'm going to start posting my company's workload online in the form of competitions, letting people work for the possibility of being compensated at sub-market ra…

Then get out of your comfort zone. If you want to shake up your career, now's the time to do it. And nobody is going hand it to you.

The comment about BCC being Hello World with a random number generator is amusing, but the fact that you were able to generate profit from a simple web app is really a testament to…

You can still "like C" without needing to juggle memory (similarly, you can need to juggle memory and hate C). The core Go team is likely evidence of that: they created a language …

Reminds me of the Cozy Coupe [1] I had as a child. Perhaps that's not by accident. The fear is that these machines will be unsafe, either to their passengers or to other cards on t…

This is also a prime opportunity to question the idea of traveling at 85 mph in 4,000 lb. metal boxes that get 13 mpg. In my town, many parents put their newly-licensed teenage chi…

I was curious to see how you'd react to this, since Spiegel's success has been such a thorn in your side. So let's see, you opened with conspiracy theory nutjob (so maybe the real …

Except it wasn't really a case of coin flipping. Flipping coins suggests everybody is playing the same game with roughly equal odds. So what is the game here? Releasing new consume…

Yeah, while I agree with many of the points made in the article, I wondered why the article has such a one-sided narrative and brutally critical tone. Do the activist investors hav…

While the article does discuss activist shareholders, it's really a brutal indictment against Mayer's leadership in general. It left me wondering if Mayer stood up the author on a …

For anybody curious about Magic Leap, I highly recommend this TED talk by the company's founder Rony Abovitz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8J5BWL8oJY It starts off kinda weird,…

This is great stuff, but technically it seems to go pretty far beyond what Clever is achieving. The company's value seems to hinge more on positioning itself appropriately (establi…
