It IS more complicated than that. It's not easy to build within a 1 hour commute of a dense population center. All that land is owned, built, and called for. Calling it "overpopula…

Wow, thank you for sharing this. I miss the old 00's era of maximalist web design.

No one wants to say it, but immigration is a huge driver of housing un-affordability. Skilled H1b immigration and/or foreign buyers drives up home prices, and unskilled illegal imm…

I feel like most of us were wise to the fact that this was a terrible idea on day one. It was funny to watch MBAs try to cash in on the "next big thing" in tech, though.

interesting - reminds me of what meteor attempted with its data protocol.

any link to or summary of his ideas?

I recently got a subscription to the HBR and am surprised at how...misguided it is. It's shocking how this locus of low competency is destroying American business. Ditto on the out…

I think it's important to be passionate about your life's work. However, maintaining "good enough" across all dimensions of particular lifestyle or role is actually incredibly chal…

Dude, thank you for this. My team has been trying to figure this out - we know we will eventually need a way to utilize in a low-level context, but couldn't dig up any cases of suc…

Not disagreeing with you, but worth mentioning proto-lean/agile methodology began with the manufacturing of cars at Toyota.

I would agree that this is narrow minded - and would say that this opinion is a result of exactly what you mentioned - my interaction with them being fairly limited and clinical, d…

Honestly, and I'm being really frank here, a lot of the management "expertise" at fortune 50+ firms that come from traditional (re: MBA) tracks has just two tools in their toolbelt…

Let this be a lesson: Working prototypes trump all theory. I heard all silicon valley gurus stating they were "bearish on VR, bullish on "AR". This proliferated as a mantra through…

I read Napoleon: A life - it was a great book with fascinating insights. For example, Napoleon's first big break came not particularly from outstanding competence but because, in t…

I'd a big fan of some of the webGL experiments hanging around the internet. i.e. http://taotajima.jp/

I think it means that contracting can't be a part of a company core business model - as is in the case for uber, lyft, or cleaning services. Examples of a contractor here would be:…

A mantra sort of appeared in my mind watching agile fall apart and fail at a large fortune 50 company - "there is no replacement for leadership."

I think opinions can have equal value - in a roundabout way. I.e. climate denialism is usually an expression of anti-establishmentarianism married with a fear of downward mobility.…

I remember reading about the hysteria of this 4 years ago and wondering if me, a non-foodie, could actually taste the difference in chocolate quality. I finally had my first mast b…

FWIW, I know of a bike sharing startup that found profitably by charging cities and municipalities for the service as an urban amenity.

Does this scientifically explain the phenomenon colloquially known as "dad strength?"

100% agreement. It's continuing the trend of offloading management onto the burden of the individual worker. It's the responsibility of the company to create a solid, quiet, access…

in isolation, no, but the problem I've seen is that literal dozens of preprocessing steps for a javascript project, and these add significant cost over time. In a corporate environ…
