I think the only way how this can be fixed it that they pass SOPA since western democracies seems to be broken beyond repair. This bill will severely affect the very last growth engine in the US (that is internet) and the US (and the rest o

On a separate note (by reading your comment), isn't funny how you need to be lawyer in order to find out whether you are breaking the law or no for trivial things as this one. USSR perfected that approach but we are getting there.

I wonder why there are no internal talent in HP to replace CEO (you know, the second in command which will take control of the ship if CEO is hit by a bus). Is there a company which is actively working on internal talent pool capable of rep

I completely agree that startup should minimize chance on hiring wrong people (that is reason I'm arguing that pay in startup must be market rate (no 20% less as many startup try) - otherwise your are gambling with the most important asset

This is so funny. A while ago recruiter (expensive one) which was working for me to fill up a senior position in my team (I was a dev manager in a big company) sent me an email trying to recruit me... Regarding design candidates, there are

I think the main problem is that in brave new world of "connection is everything" landing job is really really hard if you just sending resume thru HR/normal process. If nothing you should always edit resume based on the job posting (so you

Stupid me. I was honestly thinking that AOL's market cap is about 20B. Wow...

I think the problem is that good jobs (you can save to buy house) are gone. Basically, in SV, you can get 150K salary with 20 years experience and PhD only at Facebook, Google, Oracle, etc. However, these companies are extremely picky and p

If Yahoo! is acquired by AOL, then I think there might be some bright future for Yahoo! and for AOL. For example, they could focus on Yahoo! Finance to be the place for investment, stocks info on internet. In order words, it is too early to

I just want to point one thing: As China is becoming the super-power (engine of the world), their view how copyright should be handled will become prevalent. In other words, the majority of money to be made will be in Chindia and not in Eur

Excellent site. On general note, this site really emphasizes how fucked up is health system in US. There is complete lack of correlation how much a plan costs and how much benefits you get. There should be version: WhyHealthInsuranceinUSSuc

May I ask you what is an average vacation time per year in your company?

I just want to comment that policy like this will cause you problems in recruiting a certain type of talent. Of course, that will be imposible to measure, but I can tell you none of my friends (we are little older but not so much) will not

Hmmm... I like the idea 'take some' but then why not accure vacations anyway and 'force' people to take vacations before accuras expires? Actually, in one of big companies developing world class mission critical software, my manager would s
