Hey folks, This is a list of information and resources for SF Bay Area fires. It's on a site I have been developing on and off for some time. I would appreciate any feedback you ha…

“One common trait of the U.S., Korea and China is that people accept failure as part of the process,” I don't think that's true about Korea, and it is the core reason for the lack …

Proper exit procedure should have disabled all access from this ex-admin..., unless s/he had some sort of cron job or launched some process that would execute commands at certain t…

As a Korean American who also has worked at Samsung headquarters, I think it's more of bad news than good news, no matter how Joyent wants to spin it. Its corporate culture only al…

As a Korean American, I highly doubt that this will work. Of all the things, I think the most limiting factor will be talents. I've been working in Silicon Valley for a while, and …

Would it be conceivable that similar type of AI can deploy and manage unmanned military vehicles, e.g. unmanned drones and tanks, and monitor battle progress (assuming that the oth…

This article misses a lot of things. First of all, it's not what SV can learn from them, it's US carriers and gov't who should learn from Korea. Second, SV companies are doing just…

I get that for some "big corp" jobs could be more rewarding, and I am sure some are. However, my experiences at "big corp" jobs have been nothing but disappointing. For example, I'…

I just saw this on 11PM news on TV. This sounds serious, since it seems like there is no cure at this point and they have no idea the cause or how this is being spread. This needs …

Am I the only one who is skeptical about this announcement? I am sure the amount of data Facebook has will be huge asset to any sort of AI development, but precisely because of the…

Hey man, I've been there (two failed startups). Whatever you learned during that time should be valuable assets/skills in many startups. Hang in there. You gotta be there for your …

I had the exact same reaction.

I love it. With all the horrible and bloated changes they have been making, I thought there would be an opportunity to create simpler version of or alternate of YouTube. I guess yo…

I am not an insider, but had worked at Samsung HQ several years ago. Knowing their tendency to look for lowest price in anything and committee-based consensus building, I am sure i…

Does this mean anything? I doubt that he had much influence on Yahoo's future. I think the responsibility falls squarely on Marissa. Maybe they didn't get along? Another boardroom …

Actually it should have been "by 4chan and agreed by some redditors". There were many redditors who questioned whether it was the same guy or not.

Oh, man. I was in almost exact same situation last week! I also quit, about a week later, and I am so much happier. I really had to think about whether this is something I want to …

Oh....boy. Reminds me of the layoff at a social gaming company at which I used to work... Major layoff, and even though I wasn't affected, still felt sad and depressed to see so ma…

I agree on people seen as successful based on one prior successful project. I have seen it playing out a few times before. It didn't matter what the circumstances were (e.g. mostly…

Private social network seems almost oxymoron. To create large social network, a company has to tap into user's vast social network and try to get the user's friends/contacts to joi…

Oh, I meant they are similar in terms of limited natural resources and they both have to rely on intellectual capital on their citizens and exports for growth. Korea is mostly homo…

Israel and Korea share many things in common. Yet, Israel has become one of the hottest country for startups. The author attributes the success to leadership and technology trainin…

The easy thing to do is nothing. But continuing on the current path is a time-tested formula for complacency. I wish I heard that from the new RIM CEO.

I didn't move to China, but Korea, working for a large conglomerate. I was there for two years. I wasn't particularly young, but in early 30's with two kids. There were several exp…
