This might be totally obvious to you, but it wasn't obvious to some junior managers that I manage. When you're an entry-level programmer and you get stuck on a tough programming problem for a while, you're supposed to go to y

I want to love this but I am really struggling with the UX: - Takes a long time to load - Runs fine on my newish MBP but runs like a dog on my Linux desktop - I am having a hard time controlling the camera position using the trackpad. Maybe

I'm really interested to know this too. A few benefits I can think of: - Their shares go farther if they buy another company with stock - Helps recruiting and retention if their employees can sell their options on secondary markets

It looks like a lot of the functionality is only shown in the video, and it moves pretty fast. I wish I could pause it.

IIRC in California you need to have at least 2 direct reports to be considered a supervisor vis-a-vis exempt status.

This reminds me of "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. One of the main thrusts is that if you are serious about your art -- whatever it might be -- you should treat it like your profession. Do your (creative) work every day, an

Well done! The site looks great. I've actually been thinking about a similar product in a totally different space. If you could spare a couple minutes to answer, I have a couple questions that are probably really basic but I've be

Very good list. I do wish some of the entries had a more to their description than "written in Blub." Knowing the language is interesting but not really helpful if I just want to know functionality. Of all the things I think this

That's unfortunate but it's also a bit like saying, "it made less than 100k USD yearly revenue, they couldn't afford backing up their data." Yeah both a hard-disk crashing and a legal attack are rare, but in their b

Very interesting, thanks! I would also be very interested in hearing some kind of ballpark figures for the fee structure. There's one problem I've wanted to solve, and thought ACH might be able to help, but really didn't know

When you say "the typical consumer", I think you are really saying "the typical, relatively wealthy consumer living in the first world". For the some billions of people on the Earth who don't have a stable currency,

I believe the state requirement is for managers, not regular employees. Every 2 years I have to spend a couple hours taking a traffic-school-style online training.

Your scale is way off. To brute-force AES-128, if you assume: - Every person on the planet owns 10 computers. - There are 7 billion people on the planet. - Each of these computers can test 1 billion key combinations per second. - On average

I love that B-R5RB was started by something trivial and without deliberation. It seems so Archduke Ferdinand-esque to me.

Chrome and Firefox both use NSS. I would assume that the big institutions looked at OpenSSL and decided their money would be better invested in other projects.

That woman in the second photo has crazy ankle range of motion. Also helps if your torso is relatively long compared to your femurs -- relatively common among east Asians.

I remember when a friend of mine went to work at Google, relatively early in their history. I'm sure he told me that there were smart people working there, working on cool things -- but I don't remember much of that. What I do re

Their Pages hosting feature uses Fastly -- I would assume they use the same service across their infrastructure.

It sounds like they are going after a vulnerability in the browser. My guess would be that do a man-in-the-middle attack where they have a device that acts as a proxy so you get YOUR Facebook page, but with an exploit injected into the code

I read some VC stories regarding Skype recently. At the time they were looking for series A (?), broadband penetration was still poor. Obviously they managed to get by until the broadband environment tipped to their advantage. The point is

I feel the same way about magazines. It's dumb that they are packed with ads and yet you still have to pay for them. This is basically the same fallacy as a Google user who thinks he is Google's customer . Magazine readers are

Looks like a great system. Two thoughts I had when I scrolled down to the bottom of your landing page were "oh there's only 3 of them, and they all look very casual." Sure you're going for the 5-100 employee segment, but

This no-managers movement strikes me as disingenuous. The manager is still there -- there's just fewer of them. Big conflicts just get escalated all the way to the CEO/founder/owner. There was a recent HBR article about Googl

If the keys used for each cipher are independent it should not weaken security. See section 15.7 of Applied Cryptography ( http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/anuag/crypto.pdf ).

Are you talking about Costco? I like Costco, but they have so few people out on the warehouse floor, and those that are there dress like civilians so it's hard to find them. My takeaway is that there is zero customer service, aside fro
