Unless someone is actively trying to sell the domain on sedo.com (or similar site) the best bet is to use whois to find the owner and email them, we get a few inquiries for our dom…

"Demotivators" was a copycat company, and the chief scientist of my previous company had this one hung on his cubicle, which I loved (by the way, he did help with customers when we…

Nowadays, this might not be true. 10 years ago, I hired Oracle dbas (not many, mind you) at hourly wages of 300K+ (edit: yes, they worked 40hrs/wk at least)

"There is no risk" What? You're wrong.

Would the proper category then for Bud be some type of "lesser" sake then?

Huh? I am all in favor of people having kids and know it is necessary for society... But are you saying you can't pass on other stuff to the next generation? An example of this is …

Your comment reminded me of a game (maybe the only one) I wrote in middle school, on a TRS-80 Color Computer (I think 4K, although maybe I had the 16K upgrade by the time I wrote t…

The Elon Musk battery plant went through a similar bid process, although I don't know if it was on the same scale. I think Nevada and Buffalo won that bid.

re: IBM, I'm not sure that SoftLayer/bluemix is getting a lot of traction. AWS: IMO they are the leader to be defeated by the competitors, doing well, cutting prices, making it eas…

So if you're not allowed to give less than 4 weeks notice, what happens if you say "I am quitting in 4 weeks" then you come to work and do nothing all day, I guess the employer can…

thanks - this is a good heads up. I asked my team to back up anything not checked into our git repo to some disk not controlled by OSX, and btw don't rely on your time machine, who…

I could be wrong also, my remembered banker stories were about larger transactions, it's true. (PS, why can't I reply to the comment to my comment? I guess I don't comment enough t…

Annual recurring revenue, I'm not sure if monthly subscriptions or even 1-year contracts count but I think multi-year contracts definitely do.

PS if you do a "next thing", don't spend very much of your own money on "it". Even though you don't "have" to get outside funding, do the angel/seed/VC thing based on your previous…

I'm obviously very old compared to the target audience. I was accepted to Columbia and Texas A&M and chose Texas A&M because I had various scholarships that paid for my tuition and…

Google is no longer using email data for gmail ads. They might still use it for their google search ads or anything else they want.

Aren't there two other very recognizable and very rich people trying to reduce space costs? I'm not sure if the other 2 want to go to Mars first (before other profitable space vent…

Yeah, and memory is a fickle thing. I want to say "job X" but then as I really think about it, I realize I am disregarding some bad times there, too.

The SEC issued a warning that many offerings labeled "ICO" are fraudulent. (This one may be different than the frauds, but the SEC's warning was to watch out if you see that initia…

This will motivate me to get everything into VPCs, which I should have done a while ago.

I did this about 2 years ago with all 3 of the major agencies and in addition to the benefits described in post and comments, my junk mail volume dropped considerably. I don't know…
