I don't understand the ins and outs of this website, or the scoring system. As far as I can tell, my score "went down" because I made an honest (but negative) observation about for…

(At least) #4 and #5 seem reasonable.

My ebook (on a non-technical topic) outsells the (much more nicely laid out) paper edition by 4:1 or 5:1. The end is near for paper.

Lots of great advice already given, the gist of it being to focus on what you can DO for your employer. On that note, please read _Ask The Headhunter_, or browse his web site. Also…

I know an SAT/LSAT/MCAT tutor who charges over $900/hour. No joke. (Many charge $500/hour.) If the client thinks you're worth it, no amount is too high.

After reading the Notes tab I naturally headed straight to GOOG, but was unable to unearth any "naked pictures [from] Burning Man." What is this thread without pics?

It is not the responsibility of your degree to "secure you a job"! Please read _Ask The Headhunter_.

If you've always wanted a degree, you should go ahead and do it. Thinking back to my own BA degree in (pure) math, it was highly theoretical, and I don't see how I could have appli…

Will that man please either return to playing serious chess or (better) go away and stop his attention-whoring!?

Nice initiative. The website is cool (assuming that it is original design - new to me), but the content needs work: I see some sucking up to Evernote, lots of praising yourself wit…

In addition to the good points you make, I've heard that top people within Apple are increasingly assigned to the iPhone and iPad, and there just aren't enough (human) resources le…

F.lux and Clipboard make my life better.

"Years of experience" is a BS requirement from HR. You need to figure how how to convey to the hiring manager that you understand the work/problem and that you know how to do/solve…

Huh. I thought Instagram had pretty much set a lower bar on the price of a startup with no revenue. Guess I was wrong.

Hey, I (much) prefer urban life. Starting from the ground up, I wish they'd built Palo Alto and Menlo Park to be real cities. I wish I lived in a city with a real subway, and the p…

I used to love local, independent bookstores. Then, when I wrote and published my own book, and learned a lot more about the industry, I realized that the current book publishing a…

Google "urban planning." The "dumb rules" may not be convenient for you or me in the short run, but they exist for a reason: water, sewage, traffic, pollution, supporting a sustain…

This may come as a shock, but some people manage to lead perfectly fulfilling lives without ever visiting the US. About the only inconvenience I can imagine would be the inability …

Perhaps your decision to leave will be easier if you realize that if they needed to let you go, for whatever reason, they'd do it in a heartbeat. Not out of malice, and perhaps not…

I'm confident that the vast majority of those who agree with this decision are white, and therefore believe (probably correctly) that it will never happen to them. But if you're a …

I'm not sure that STL is a very desirable or interesting location for immigrants, particularly non-white immigrants, who are a backbone of Silicon Valley.

It has been discussed (in chess circles) in excruciating and unambiguous detail how Rajlich blatantly ripped off (Google it) open source code, thereby violating tournament rules, o…
