It's easy to confuse the negative effects of scale with cultural similarities. I've lived in both cities and you'd have to step outside the US to find two cities less like each other. Its easy to understand why New York maga

Waaaaay too soon to be writing off holacracy. Fad or not, it's at the crawl stage (crawl-walk-run). And to compare it to business-as-usual running-- when it's as broken as it is-- is premature.

I'm not looking for them to include an iPad or a data connection. I'd buy it if it came with customers. The "business in a box" marketing would then be spot on.

I wonder how much of this argument will always be made-- one generation after another. As a thought experiment I put myself in my father's shoes and replaced every reference to phone with television. The text still resonated. I'm tempte

The interesting part for me is the self-serving marketing that the writer is doing. As a precious metals investor, it is in his best economic interests for people to believe this view as it can only speed the flight to gold.

Wouldn't it be great if Russell Kirsch went from coffee shop to coffee shop having similar conversations? Kinda like the hacker version of that scene in the movie Soapdish where Sally Fields and Whoopi Goldberg go to the mall and Whoopi pr

As jaded as I sound, it's a little naive to look at this like its about law or justice. Its much more about power and influence. And corporations have a disproportionate amount of it. I think we're all going to be a little disappointed nex

Maybe I've been watching too much Breaking Bad but there's a great opportunity here for someone to "acquire" the pre-processed shipments in Maywood NJ. Who wants to be my co-founder on this project? There's gotta be Pinkman out there to m

I'm on the same page as the author. Plus, I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is and pay extra for no-logo versions of most electronic products - from smartphones to TV and major appliances. That aesthetic is worth paying for.

For as long as there have been acquisitions (at any scale), there's been anecdotal evidence that innovation quickly dies in the acquired company. One thing to consider is that innovation is not dying because the larger company is killing t

I'd hire either of these teens right out of high school. There's a reason that they didn't use [insert TV show] action figures. It says a lot about the kind of people who love LEGOs. On a side note: I'm still not diggin' what the company i

The path to killing Hollywood has to start from an understanding of how/where they make their real money. The post does a good job with a third of that answer-- Hollywood contracts are notoriously one sided so adding consistency and transp

Really? A young girl dies, hacker or not. A writer who was touched by her writes about it. And the only thing worth writing is that you beat her to programming by 2 years. Bravo! Not that this applies to you, but at what age do people
