I'd add that lessons from sports leadership don't always apply in other contexts. Sports at the highest levels require extreme competitiveness and aggression. A Jordan-style asshole leader might succeed by motivating the developme

Probably they're living near the Hoyt-Schemerhorn station in downtown Brooklyn. The A/C are good, reliable trains that offer a quick commute to a large number of jobs in Lower Manhattan. And it's absolutely in a safe neighbor

To be fair, the $27 billion includes 1,025 new subway cars (which tend to cost more than $1 million each) plus extensive renovations to 31 stations. Also, the "open gangway" design in combination with the other improvements (wider

FWIW -- for non-commercial uses you can get a J-Link EDU for about $70. The hardware is identical to J-Link BASE.

I'd be interested to see how successful way2ride has been (as in, how has the percentage of taxi trips originating from way2ride changed over time?) way2ride has been advertised heavily in NYC and offers most of the same features that

What about this makes you jump to defend the status quo? It's obviously a far more hurtful experience when it happens somewhere you actually work, and when you're already a minority in a white male dominated environment. But I don

No, don't worry, Stephen Colbert agrees with you. By not seeing race, he is by definition the least racist.

I work with PCB design tools a lot -- Cadence, Altium, Eagle, you name it. While there's definitely room for better software, the most frustrating thing about the PCB CAD ecosystem right now is (a) lack of interoperability between file

There are quite a few Minecraft hosting providers that are even cheaper than that, actually. But it would make sense for Microsoft to handle that themselves.

You are talking about relatively well-paid engineers putting in extra hours to get ready for SXSW. I also disagree with parts of her management style, but nothing suggests that any of the employees were "severely exploited".

It's the follow up communication that could waste time. I would prefer to do a little research on each company before applying to a dozen of them at once, or to see that the companies listed are known and trustworthy.

Awesome. I do think this could be a really useful tool, but it needs a lot more transparency (and clarity about what it is you do, if not "recruit")
