The irony is that Indeed is not the best place to find work for those 2200 who lost their jobs. Indeed used LinkedIn to hire me :3

A bit sensationalist IMO. From my experiences costly Tokyo rentals are optional. During college I lived in central Tokyo on a budget that was much less than what I had in the State…

Actually quite a few places allow you to get in without such deposits. I've lived here since my last two years of college - totaling 8 years now - and never had an issue getting in…

Actually, weeklies and monthlies are common in cities. マンスリー、ウィクリー http://www.weekly-monthly.net/search/list.html?todoufuken_cd...

Programmers I've worked with who valued refactoring code instead of building features have also been some of the most negative people I've met.

That says authenticity. You're thought leader material now!

I've done email marketing for some pretty big companies over the last 3-4 years, as well as a few smaller ventures. When it comes to generating revenue, HTML wins across the board …

I really hope Valve takes them on in some shape or form, even if it's their own flavor of Linux. Then Windows will be good for just Microsoft Office. And that's it. http://arstechn…

Is an opt-in ad network feasible? I think it's safe to say ads are necessary for many publishers. The subscription model has it's limitations. Ads are a necessary evil as I see it.…

Since I was downvoted please allow me to explain by expanding on that question with more questions: What sort of license did you have on Nodester's code prior to acquisition? You s…

Did you contribute back to the open-source community or individuals you (pick a verb: leveraged, used) for profit each time?

I hope this means there will be lean hookups. Anything past the first date or few drinks is really a questionable use of investor's funds.

Nice! Knew what a fullstack programner was so I was thinking it might be along those lines. As was mentioned before, more often than not, startups have limited funding and can't af…

I'm going to work on a post in response, "29 things I wish designers knew about fashion."

Can you define full stack designer?

I'm talking about all these Tony Robbins wannabes and content companies using startup/entrepreneurship as an angle. Useful voices: 37signals folks, Eris Reiss, HBR, anyone here, et…

Steve Ballmer could offer some valuable advice to Dick on what's actually important.[1] On a more serious note, am I the only one who suspects they're not satisfied with feed ads a…

Anyone else tired of all these entrepreneur/startup blogs and articles? It's a bubble in itself. Now I skip past them like I skip tabloid and gossip "articles".

I can back Jack in saying the Berlin startup culture is vommit-inducing.

Lifehacker and other multinational blogs should take note as well. The cynic in me wants to tell you that you'll only learn Japanese better if you immerse yourself ;)

I'd sooner be called "janitor" and receive fair share than have a title and less. But your point is depressingly common, especially with the Rocket Internet CEOs/co-founders who re…

CEO's join companies after they've been around for years to earn valuable sums of money for the skilled work and long hours they put in. It motivates them to turn around the compan…

"...while the CEO(non-technical) was reading blogs and plotting strategy for a yet non-existent product." "...he would come up with strategic personal inputs to magically transform…
