I think the only way how this can be fixed it that they pass SOPA since western democracies seems to be broken beyond repair. This bill will severely affect the very last growth en…

On a separate note (by reading your comment), isn't funny how you need to be lawyer in order to find out whether you are breaking the law or no for trivial things as this one. USSR…

I wonder why there are no internal talent in HP to replace CEO (you know, the second in command which will take control of the ship if CEO is hit by a bus). Is there a company whic…

I completely agree that startup should minimize chance on hiring wrong people (that is reason I'm arguing that pay in startup must be market rate (no 20% less as many startup try) …

This is so funny. A while ago recruiter (expensive one) which was working for me to fill up a senior position in my team (I was a dev manager in a big company) sent me an email try…

U.S. (software) patent system is broken. Patent trolls have cost innovators half a trillion dollars (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3017815). The system is becoming ridiculous…

I think the main problem is that in brave new world of "connection is everything" landing job is really really hard if you just sending resume thru HR/normal process. If nothing yo…

Microsoft did something here: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/farsite/

Not really. Actually, my friends in other professions with similar education (lawyers, public servants, marketing, advertising, hedge funds) have no problems saving for a house. In…

Stupid me. I was honestly thinking that AOL's market cap is about 20B. Wow...

I think the problem is that good jobs (you can save to buy house) are gone. Basically, in SV, you can get 150K salary with 20 years experience and PhD only at Facebook, Google, Ora…

If Yahoo! is acquired by AOL, then I think there might be some bright future for Yahoo! and for AOL. For example, they could focus on Yahoo! Finance to be the place for investment,…

After initial growth is seems like Google+ is slowing down... and people are not coming back. At least from my perspective. None of my friends started using Google+ - even though t…

You really think D.C. is the place were decisions are made? Really? Anyway these Anonymous are just kids and I don't think they understand problem - let alone the solution to the p…

I just want to point one thing: As China is becoming the super-power (engine of the world), their view how copyright should be handled will become prevalent. In other words, the ma…

Excellent site. On general note, this site really emphasizes how fucked up is health system in US. There is complete lack of correlation how much a plan costs and how much benefits…

I'm sorry, but I don't think you can say that "startup failed" if you haven't even quit your day job and focus 100% on your startup. Maybe you can say that investigation/discovery …

May I ask you what is an average vacation time per year in your company?

Reasoning goes like this: - If a company is really about "we don't care about how much vacation you take", then why not to give me minimum vacations? It seems intellectually dishon…

I actually believe that lack of democratic institutions and lack of regulations is enabling rich (either rich by inheritance or self made) to become more rich. I'm not sure how lar…
