Glad to see someone writing about this. Touches on the (sensitive) issue that "tech" people don't often value what "business" people can do (and they can't). Vice versa is obviously true as well but an already commonly discussed topic on HN

One of my hobbies is going through LinkedIn and getting a chuckle out of all the "CEOs". I get the idea that people want to make their company sound bigger than it is but think in reality it's too see through. Go for something that says wha

Thanks for the long but interesting comment. Are you able to share a little about the db setup you are using?

Agreed, but seeing as it is Forbes then not so surprising

Would be interested to hear how you (and others) handle the transition from salaried work to startup life...

Sound advice. Often if I am bored with my job I search for jobs online. Not necessarily thinking of finding a new one but just helps get the feeling of control back.

Oops, right about the US Army Air Force mistake. My bad. Also, agree it might be nitpicking but for me the dropping of the A-bombs and associated killing of a crap load of civillians is one of last centuries most conveniently forgotten topi

Idiot! NB: ironic insult :) I'd love to say I agree totally with the article because it does raise some really good points and it is an extremely interesting topic. I'd also like to give the average (talking a mean average here not some kin

In both sentences Hiroshima is the object. The subject in the original sentence is the bomb but in my edited sentence the subject is the U.S. Army. Talking of partiality (and the sentences use of passive voice) "Merriam Webster's Dictionary

"Hiroshima was destroyed in a flash by a bomb dropped from a propeller-driven B-29 of the U.S. Army Air Force, on the warm morning of Monday, August 6, 1945." Nice use of subtle patriotism here. Wouldn't it have been a little more impartial

Agree 100% with the sentiment, although what you are asking for is really up to the display and battery manufacturers. Alternatively if any smart hacker can come up with some power consumption reduction algorithms then they are more than we

Fun and interesting read. Personally though I think by only examining mortality rates then half the story has been missed. ie. life expectancy. While intuitively we can see that the probability of dying in any given year increases with the

Thank you for not getting evolution theory backwards like the majority of journalists/scientists/people in general do. We evolve because we don't die...we don't evolve so that we may live.

Just allow me to free up a few assets so I can afford to apply :) Doesn't the whole concept of having to pay large amounts of money just to apply to maybe register a new TLD feel a little bit against some of the original ideas behind the "W

I for one am perpetually see-sawing between insane focused passion for what I am doing and full blown existential crisis. I see this as a blessing and a curse. I think a little bit of impatience can help you achieve more than others who sit
