My takeaway was that he doesn't want to be in the crossfire in the ads war. I can imagine that being very stressful and unpleasant with lots of hate mail etc. Especially if you com…

Neat project! Last christmas in SF I wanted to create a "winter vibe" as we were celebrating with the family, and I was looking for videos showing cozy snowfall and winter landscap…

That is certainly one source for error. There are many. Another is that testing does not give you exhaustive coverage of the state space just because each branch of the code is vis…

This times a thousand.

It also means "To support".

HEADS UP TO IOS DEVS: You may want to update your iPhone to iOS 8.2. You'll need to download the new XCode to deploy the app after that but it's not possible at the moment due to S…

I used it pretty much daily in Sweden back in the 80s and 90s to check news, broadcasting schedule, weather, etc. There were a few hundred "pages" and each page had a 3 digit numbe…

During my 14 years in Silicon Valley I haven't met any successful founders that I'd characterize as mean. Lots of them have come across as sociopathic and ruthlessly egoistic, but …

I wonder if Boosted Boards has tried putting the propulsion system on a regular skate deck instead of a longboard. Looking at the powered truck design it seems it should be doable.…

I grew up in Sweden and I second that. Stockholm imo is literally paradise on earth three months per year, especially the archipelagos. I've never seen a place like it, unbelievabl…

I'm Swedish and I emigrated first from Sweden to France and then France to the US. I can't speak about going the other way, but having done this twice I think it takes a long time …

I went to the best physics program in Sweden. It was pretty amazing and at something like $50 per year essentially free. In addition, the government provided ~$300 per month in ass…

Yeah, Jobs did the same thing. There are plenty of people that feel they want to get that psychological tumor out of their lives after being fired and I think it's understandable e…

I guess the only consequence being resentment from the people close to you, and missed opportunities to develop deep lasting relationships.

As a Swede I can honestly say that for all intents and purposes Sweden, Norway and Denmark are all the same and we love each other.

Thanks for sharing your structure! My feeling is that it's maybe more important which states and principles one has and that everyone understands them than whether they reside in o…

Author here: I agree Kanban boards have benefits. I've helped other people implement the system I described in Trello as well. Personally, I think it's harder to get an overview of…
