I believe the 20% cut that the manager make is after they clear a benchmark like the S&P 500 to ensure they get paid when they produce a superior return compared to what an index fund could deliver.

I had a similar experience. I purchased a GoPro to use for a trip to Mexico. I had heard great stories about how durable and reliable they were from friends. So I didn't hesitate to buy one on Amazon. Long story short all the footage f

I felt that Lotus Notes was trying to do too many things when in reality most people were using it for email and calendaring. The UI looked terrible and it was overall slow and crashed often. You had to manually kill the zombie process or e

I always thought about the engineering complexities of sending someone to the moon that I overlooked the operational aspects of managing such a trip. This article was enlightening.

It seems like the people with real leverage (i.e. movie stars) demand a cut of the gross (pre-expenses) instead of the net.

For simplicity let's say that IBM charges $300/hr for a consultant (developer/PM/etc). That would be about 100,000 hours of work. Let's say a consultant bills 2,000 hours a year and it takes them 18-24 months to build this thing. That woul

I believe multiple exchanges do foster competition and innovation. I believe NASDAQ was one of the first computerized exchanges in an era when human traded in the pits. Multiple exchanges allow customers to choose from better trading fees,

As someone with not a lot of experience in low level languages and I can't wait to play around with this. I think it will be fun way to learn and maybe even try building hardware implementation using a FPGA.

The product that GoDaddy offers is a commodity. You can get domain registration with hundreds of companies unlike the NFL which offers a very unique product. Also GoDaddy has been harboring a lot of ill will with things like hidden fees ove

Thanks for the great article. Counter Strike was the game that really got me interested in programming. I got introduced to it in early 2000 and was blown away that this game was made by hobbyists who created a mod (expansion package) for H

The $200k price tag is unsurprising if you factor in the cost of non-coding work like requirements gathering, travels, expenses, benefits, etc. This seems like a simple app but when you have a design by committee, approvals, etc it can be q

I've been using Spotify for 2 weeks now after using Rdio for 6 months and I rather like Spotify's Radio feature a lot. The recommendations I get from it seems no better or worse than Rdio's (for me) but I don't mind it and skipping tracks s

I believe there is a fairly new program where if you work for a government agency or non-profit you can have the remainder of your student loan forgiven after making 120 minimum payments on a income based repayment program. I quick Google s
