Out of curiosity, what did you segue into from the second youth, or are you still in it? Those phases seem fun but potentially hard to get out of, either because you don't want to …

There's also the related failure mode of deciding you're going to fix all your other system problems as part of the migration, bloating the scope and creating too much complexity. …

I'm not a lawyer, but if you've been using it commercially, I believe you have the trademark. Theoretically, you could sue them for infringement, although I don't know whether you …

Ride sharing as a whole isn't going away. It's better than calling a cab or whatever used to be. But I could see Uber and Lyft each ending up as $5-10 B software layers on top of d…

I don't think you need to be social at all, but it is helpful to have meaningful work samples for potential employers to evaluate. Github's just the easiest place to put those. It'…

Because it's not their government, and it opens a very large door to foreign governments trying to influence elections. Really, this is a question?

The scarce resource in being a successful politican isn't really money, and it certainly isn't being smart, progressive, or informed. It's the ability to persuade people. Regardles…

Oh boy, so now it's a spelling comment. Even better.

Good talk, but lots of big generalities. You have to pick and choose what to really take to heart, IMO. Good counterpoint that you may have already seen: http://www.humbledmba.com/…

Agreed. If anything, you won't have to worry about those death-bed regrets for long. Also, this type of thing always seems skewed to people who worked a lot. What do the under-achi…

We all agree the article's dumb and pretty poorly written. Many lower income people pay no income taxes at all. I think that's rightly so, but it seems silly to write about a lack …

Really? I actually think sandwich making will be dead easy within 10 years. You just need a robot arm that can recognize and manipulate ingredients that costs less than maybe $300k…

To me, the most important point is that even extraordinary people face many times in the development of their companies where things look very dim. Being able to ignore that feelin…

Personally, I'd be more inclined to just email my friends and ask them. I feel like I already have too many online services, pages, and who knows what to manage, and it's not appar…

It depends on whether you think you need to index the same fraction of web content over time. I think that's one of the unexamined principles of the search engine industry. Also, s…

Yeah, I think of it as the Google uncertainty principle (after Heisenberg). As soon as Google measures a search signal, just the fact that it goes into the rankings means that it d…

Yes and no. Pretty basic spelling correction is pretty good, and as Google makes its spelling operation more sophisticated, I actually find myself needing to reverse their correcti…
