Great news for the founders! It's a bittersweet experience for me, I had an interview call a year ago but they cancelled because I needed work authorization :|
It's his money and he has every right to do as he wishes but I don't agree with this school of thought. >"if the company you work for is worthy of your time, why not your money as well?" Because you're being compensated…
It's important to note that people struck by polio tend to be from the lower socioeconomic strata of developing countries. Not only is preventing polio important for saving individuals but it's also important from…
I like how the top comment is a rant about Ackman that offers no insight about the linked article. >Do it without making a profit and I might listen or even agree with you. lol? Instead of being concerned about the…
>I'd go so far as to say that if Paul Graham was in the business of funding hedge fund managers, Ackman would be one of his top picks from the applicant pool. You lost me here. Also, investing with Ackman is a terrible…
Vaios and Thinkpads target two very different groups of users. Issuing business laptops for business purposes doesn't really mean much. It's a catchy line but not relevant at all.
ITT: People post anecdotes about Vaio products without commenting on the actual article.
They were paying for the honor (and publicity) that comes with buying the first fish of the season. Seems pretty routine to me.
So, with rising demand you'd expect rising prices which would in turn suppress demand. Unless the object in question becomes a luxury good, in which case rising prices would in turn contribute to an increase in demand…
As the saying goes, the devil was in the details. It's not the existence of spying but the extent that made everyone take notice. "surveilled their citizens" is too general a term;it can include anything from monitoring…

Running into the path of a moving car isn't fraud? End result is the same for when it's an accident.
If drivers keep getting requests cancelled, they will be less prompt and enthusiastic about actual ones. The cancellation fee is calculated on the assumption that frequent orders will not be deliberately placed to be…
No one died/was seriously injured in the Tesla fires. That makes it a completely different situation.
The Netflix bit is not completely true; the number of films/episodes available is lower but you get quite a few high-profile movies unavailable stateside eg. Argo, Batman + The Matrix trilogies, The Departed etc…
Yeah I understand that, I'm just surprised that it's feasible to make that much in technology. I had an offer from Microsoft when I graduated that was about the same so I'd have to gain around 14.5% every year to get to…
Yes but at 25? That's 4 years of experience out of college. I'm in my second year working in technology for a large i-bank and I'm barely breaching 100k :(
What kind of job pays a 25 year old 160k with flexible hours? Genuinely curious.
Suicide is a choice. I fully agree that MIT acted abominably and in an ethically, if not legally, questionable manner with regards to giving evidence and support to the prosecution but not defense. But you can't blame…
Quinn Norton proving one again that you should never talk to the authorities. Especially not without a lawyer.
It's impossible to have an actual discussion about this in a non-moderated forum given how eager people are to talk about their personal experiences rather than the actual content of the article. For an amusing overview…
