Good point, although I think he implicitly implies "index funds" in this case because later there's a bullet that says: * Pay attention to fees. Avoid actively managed funds.

It seems the general consensus is that a great programmer can write better quality code in less time than others. This requires a high level of aptitude and experience (which comes with practice). However, I feel the ability to write qualit

Ironically The Oatmeal is down. Presumably because so many people want to give him money that they've DDOSed his website.

Great response. It's hard to get any real work done when you have to constantly context switch between different things. Ed didn't know that he'd have to waste 3 hours of his time. It was only supposed to take 10 minutes after all.

I had something similar happen to me earlier in the week. The conversation went something like this: Boss: Hey, we've got an urgent production issue that needs to be looked at. I'm getting some heat on this one and I need someone to diagnos

Either the article is completely wrong about GPA or I must be an outlier. I barely had a 3.0 in college and got multiple internships at "Major" companies.

Apparently Jean-Louis was one of the few people that stood up to Steve in Europe when he visited back in the 80s, and this earned him Steve's respect. Back then, Jean-Louis was in charge of Apple France and didn't cave to setting Steve's un

I'm not long on Netflix, and here's why: 1. Netflix is at the mercy of media companies that control the content. Media companies can basically charge whatever they want for their content on Netflix. If Netflix can't afford it, they'll let t

I pre-ordered the book so it hasn't arrived yet. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it. :-) I did, however, read The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, which was an excellent unauthorized biography I read a few years ago. http://goo.gl/Nx

I believe the author would have a different opinion if he watched Steve's 2005 commencement speech. http://goo.gl/l7scw Steve said the reason he was successful later in life was from learning from his previous failures. This doesn't seem

Good developers are hardly ever on the market. The majority of them are happy at their current jobs, and they know they could go anywhere else they wanted because their skills are highly valued. I'm sure it gets annoying when they frequentl

If in-house recruiters are bad, what about headhunters? I've received emails from a headhunter 3 times within a month asking me to apply for the same position. After the second time, I notified them that I was perfectly happy with my curren

I agree with you as well. Most people put their machines on standby or hibernate, eliminating most of Chromebook's competitive advantage. Honestly, I don't see Chromebooks becoming very successful mainly due to price. For the same price of

I agree that forcing Beijing to raise the value of the Yuan is not going to end all our financial woes (as suggested by some politicians) and turn America back into a manufacturing powerhouse. Many companies (recently Nokia) have been movin
