IoT is moving from buzzword to business driver. Can’t wait to see how this space progresses.

I feel like age hurt him for sure. You see Donald Trump in Home Alone and he looks like an average white dude. But now he looks like a troll.

Sort of, but generally speaking, in the work world, men are rewarded for having families and women's careers are penalized on multiple levels. Dad's are paid more, more sympathetic…

So true! Now you are lucky is an IC on a team can be groomed to even be a manager.

It is a real thing. On the other side, I am a black female who grew up in middle class suburbia and has a typical Bay Area accent. This affords me a level of privilege because I ca…

I think we really underestimate the entrepreneurship required to be an indie rapper and break-through. Marc Benioff freely admits he stole marketing ideas from MC Hammer and his st…

It's entirely possible she didn't think that way. But prior to and after that experience I did have people (outside of an interview context) that explicitly told me I should not ha…

I had an interview experience not too long after I finished college. I don't remember the specifics, but it was for an entry level administrative assistant role. I had plenty of ex…

No shocker that this couldn't be monetized. It is really hard to make money in the film business - even doing full length movies. Distribution is hard. And short films aren't super…

Someone in my building does. I see the return envelope in the mailroom!

I haven't been to Baltimore, but this book, Ghettoside, tells a story about how the police in Watts and South Central LA, with their hands tied, tried to balance policing, justice …

I still have a reaction to the Proclaimers 500 Miles, because my boss at my bookstore job played that virtually every shift. Or Garth Brooks. I go to the bathroom or excuse myself …

Had a very similar experience at a previous company as well. At the end of the renewal meeting, we left with no indication our issues would get solved and a quote for a 4X price in…

No one is saying Bill Gates didn't earn his success. But we can't deny that having access to certain levels of privlege makes success much more probably than for those without thos…

I haven't seen it where I live, but I am now inspired to pay more attention to that portion of the menu. :D

This makes me super curious about trying this Indian sodas. "Thums Up was the most distinct, being fizzier, spicier, and less sweet than the others"

Their facts are based the experiences of trying to place their program graduates and the experiences of those people. Code2040 had a very extensive program pairing young people wit…

You realize the "diversity" problem is also impacted by the funding problems. It is really hard for people of color and women to get funding - from any source. Banks, VCs, Angel in…

I think even more helpful would be framing how this actually translates into the real world - what does this sort of thing enable in the real world. I loved the show Numbers becaus…

Maybe have a little empathy here. In a low-income school, kids are walking in the door with way more problems than your upper middle class school where most kids have their basic n…
