This might be totally obvious to you, but it wasn't obvious to some junior managers that I manage. When you're an entry-level programmer and you get stuck on a tough programming pr…

I want to love this but I am really struggling with the UX: - Takes a long time to load - Runs fine on my newish MBP but runs like a dog on my Linux desktop - I am having a hard ti…

I'm really interested to know this too. A few benefits I can think of: - Their shares go farther if they buy another company with stock - Helps recruiting and retention if their em…

It looks like a lot of the functionality is only shown in the video, and it moves pretty fast. I wish I could pause it.

IIRC in California you need to have at least 2 direct reports to be considered a supervisor vis-a-vis exempt status.

This reminds me of "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. One of the main thrusts is that if you are serious about your art -- whatever it might be -- you should treat it like your…

Well done! The site looks great. I've actually been thinking about a similar product in a totally different space. If you could spare a couple minutes to answer, I have a couple qu…

Very good list. I do wish some of the entries had a more to their description than "written in Blub." Knowing the language is interesting but not really helpful if I just want to k…

That's unfortunate but it's also a bit like saying, "it made less than 100k USD yearly revenue, they couldn't afford backing up their data." Yeah both a hard-disk crashing and a le…

Very interesting, thanks! I would also be very interested in hearing some kind of ballpark figures for the fee structure. There's one problem I've wanted to solve, and thought ACH …

When you say "the typical consumer", I think you are really saying "the typical, relatively wealthy consumer living in the first world". For the some billions of people on the Eart…

I believe the state requirement is for managers, not regular employees. Every 2 years I have to spend a couple hours taking a traffic-school-style online training.

Your scale is way off. To brute-force AES-128, if you assume: - Every person on the planet owns 10 computers. - There are 7 billion people on the planet. - Each of these computers …

I love that B-R5RB was started by something trivial and without deliberation. It seems so Archduke Ferdinand-esque to me.

Chrome and Firefox both use NSS. I would assume that the big institutions looked at OpenSSL and decided their money would be better invested in other projects.

That woman in the second photo has crazy ankle range of motion. Also helps if your torso is relatively long compared to your femurs -- relatively common among east Asians.

I remember when a friend of mine went to work at Google, relatively early in their history. I'm sure he told me that there were smart people working there, working on cool things -…

Their Pages hosting feature uses Fastly -- I would assume they use the same service across their infrastructure.

It sounds like they are going after a vulnerability in the browser. My guess would be that do a man-in-the-middle attack where they have a device that acts as a proxy so you get YO…

I read some VC stories regarding Skype recently. At the time they were looking for series A (?), broadband penetration was still poor. Obviously they managed to get by until the br…

I feel the same way about magazines. It's dumb that they are packed with ads and yet you still have to pay for them. This is basically the same fallacy as a Google user who thinks …

Looks like a great system. Two thoughts I had when I scrolled down to the bottom of your landing page were "oh there's only 3 of them, and they all look very casual." Sure you're g…

This no-managers movement strikes me as disingenuous. The manager is still there -- there's just fewer of them. Big conflicts just get escalated all the way to the CEO/founder/owne…

My understanding from reading his blog is that everyone works from home. Which means that he doesn't have to pay for office space, and he can hire people who live where engineer sa…
