I don't think the article mentioned this, but one of the big reasons behind all of this homework is the personality of the people dolling out the homework: Conscientious people can't stand not being busy. So they try to do everyon

I had the most homework in Middle School and Graduate School. Not sure why exactly, just something strange that I noticed. Ended up dropping out of Grad School over the excessive busy work. Turned out to be an excellent decision!

I took a technical interview today over the phone, and you know what, they were pretty fair with their questions. I don't know what kind of competition I'm up against for the position, but very fair questions.

I use to be an Altavista user. In Middle School one of my teachers showed us Google in the computer lab and I've been using it ever since. What I remember standing out at the time was Google's UI; it was just a logo, a text input,

I got downvoted big time the other day for a very similar comment to this, but it needs to be said: People that complain about ads have obviously never had anything that they needed to advertise.

People that complain about this stuff obviously have never launched an app before. If you don't record what people are doing with your app, then you're not going to have any idea if anyone is actually using it, or if it is any goo

They've really fixed the effectiveness of their ads with the site redesign, so maybe the increased valuation is worth it. Not really something end consumers notice, but as an advertiser I definitely have.

Hey Tones411, I actually created an app that does this for Android called RoboStop. Check it out! Unfortunately Google will be removing the app from the Play Store on March 9th due to increased restrictions regarding access to user's d

That's the problem with lawyers and administrators. Wag should have just ignored their lawyers and did the right thing. It's pretty easy to see what happened here, the executives/administrators/lawyers at Wag are cowards

This. I hate hearing all this co-founder stuff all the time. While I'm sure it works for some people, I've found the whole co-founder thing to be a terrible idea. The only positive benefit I've found is having someone to talk

The reason YC is always talking about finding co-founders is because Paul Graham had co-founders. Had Paul Graham gone at things alone, YC would probably be preaching the virtues of flying solo.

If you know how to program, don't force the cofounder thing. It's really easy to end up bringing on shitty cofounders. Look at Facebook and SnapChat. In my experience it's typical to end up bringing on an Eduardo, a Winklevos

I moved my old blog to a new domain name recently, and wasn't able to keep using Medium because they no longer support custom domains. So now I'm using WordPress for my blogging software and also using their hosting as well. That&

Sort of looks like the VCs are pumping up valuations and then looking to the public markets to then dump their investments. I can't remember who said this first, but I think it's accurate. Lot of crooked unscrupulous shit going on

$120 Billion valuation on $2.6 billion in annual revenue? Seems like a pretty steep price to me! Note: I believe that $2.6B figure that I found does not include the amount of ride revenue that goes to the drivers, so maybe that's why t

Microsoft is still going to make a browser though aren't they? If there's something that they don't like in chromium they can just change it as it's open source. Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. But that's

Diverging from PHP was a good move as PHP 7 has largely caught up with HHVM in terms of speed. That's really neat that Facebook invented their own language to meet their needs. Will have to mess around with it further sometime.
