The thing that bothers me most is.. Don't people want cookies any more??? When I go grocery shopping, I get a cookie from the bakery. I need to look at them all and pick out the be…

Amazon has their own delivery service, bought wholefoods, and now bought blink. Blink has a doorbell offering plus the camera's that you already know of. It's not a stretch to have…

Pretty interesting article discussing the ability to achieve "standing" in court related to a data breach that doesn't immediately result in a loss: https://www.massbar.org/publica…

Nice find! I will take a look at that, thank you

Thank you, you are right about the software versus system piece. I hadn't thought about it that way. I'll grab a copy of that book and take a look!

Any other consultants out there? I work as a software implementation consultant. At any one time I could be working with, say, 10 groups of internal customers implementing the soft…

I find it hilarious that anyone is signing up, man or woman, after finding out that there were so many "bots" there talking to people. If this company has ambitions of being public…

This is 100% easier and more usable than screen shot into paint, crop, and mark up using terrible tools. Well done, and thank you :)

I think the article called to mind some other issues that were more important than the debate about how ethical studies like this are or are not. This guy's mother was giving the r…

The part I liked best was: "And as you evolve that great idea, it changes and grows. It never comes out like it starts because you learn a lot more as you get into the subtleties o…

I agree. I think it's a lot easier to get started if you have SOME idea of what you want to accomplish or what direction you want to go in. And who couldn't use a good to-do list?

I think this was the most important point regarding equity: "The only thing that matters in terms of your equity when you join a startup is what percent of the company they are giv…
