This - if you have to fetch data from or output data to outside of the AWS ecosystem, the 512mb /tmp limit pushes you into the additional (relative) complexity of having to run on Fargate pretty quickly. Just had to deal with this for

I live in LA and travel to the Bay for work frequently. I can walk to a Metro station from my house in Highland Park in 10 minutes and be at Union Station in 13 minutes. If I could spend 3 hours on the train to SF from Union instead of driv

But the COST of the interest is in year 0 dollars. I may be buying Cokes in 2015 dollars, but if the price is set in 1900 dollars I'm getting a shitload more Cokes.

But I'm buying a $500k house in 2015 dollars. If we peg the appreciation of the house only to the long-term inflation average of 3.22% over the next 30 years and I purchase the house today at current 30-year fixed rates of 4.09%, I&#x2

Poverty may be a necessary condition for "startup" success in the somewhat narrow definition of a startup common in our industry, but the idea that it's necessary for BUSINESS success is total nonsense, which is a useful thin

This is 4 blocks from me. I went to check it out but there was a line of around 150 people out the door and I bailed since I wasn't willing to invest the 90 minutes in line. There are already Yelp reviews: http://www.yelp.co

I'm as much a grammar-and-spelling nazi as anyone and can quote you chapter and verse the difference between it's and its, your and you're, effect and affect - but considering I've misused every one of these within the last week in email an

Anyone want to speculate on how many years it will be till we see a similar announcement on a trial program for e-hailing self-driving Uber cars in SF? The future is a cool place to live.

Pet projects? Absolutely not, although never a minus. ;) More: are you engaged with the community enough to be aware of the current ecosystem, (handwaving) "best practices", libraries/gems, etc. If someone claims to have been building Rails

Depends on what stack you're working with, and the associated broad engineering culture. I haven't hired anyone who didn't have a Github repo in 2 years, out of 18+ FTEs and contractors - but we're a Rails/Scala/node shop building fancy web

Kept hitting the next button until I realized it was not, in fact, the play button. Nice concept and work though! Would eat again.

Compassion is a great one, a trait I feel like we don't spend enough time talking about as an element of success. I've worked with many extremely talented, genuinely bright people whose business skills suffered because of a lack of compassi

Saw this post this evening: http://nickoneill.com/building-a-plane-on-the-runway/ - "pivoting" is a meaningful startup pattern when it means "variations on a theme", informed by data and quantitative customer discovery, rather than the th

Like "agile", "lean startup" can mean pretty much... anything the person using the phrase wants it to mean. With agile, sometimes the word is used to justify a rigid excess of ceremony, or as a firewall for lazy developers to hide behind to

I'm fairly sure that the federal case against Aaron is still being litigated ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#JSTOR ), which means that he almost certainly can't discuss details publicly.

When I hear the "shouldn't we solve poverty and climate change here first?" argument about space exploration, I feel it's useful to remember that almost all improvement in the human condition throughout history is directly attributable to a

I don't understand why more tech recruiters don't ruthlessly specialize and laser-focus on building a deep understanding of a particular niche when matching candidates and employers. I'm CTO of a web and mobile development shop with about 2

In my opinion probably a more viable approach for testing consumer-oriented ideas (e.g. "Daycare Review Service") than B2B products (e.g "Lesson Scheduling for Music Teachers"), but some really useful and actionable stuff here.

The famous "everything that can be invented has been invented" quote attributed to Charles H. Duel, a late 19th-century commissioner of the US Patent Office, is apocryphal ( http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2011/01/tracing-the-quote-ev... )

Ubiquity and response time matter. I live in Los Feliz, a popular LA neighborhood full of lots of 20 and 30 somethings with disposable income. It's nigh impossible to hail a cab here. In fact, outside of NY and the downtown business distric

The whole argument here is predicated on the idea that Facebook won't figure out ways to provide more value to and derive more value from its userbase, and that advertisers won't figure out how to adapt to social advertising as a medium mor
