It's not amazing. Technology has never been a prerequisite to business success and it certainly isn't one today. Does technical literacy help? Absolutely. But it's by no means necessary, and I'd say the majority of indus

The most impressive things are often the hardest to appreciate because they seem so effortless and don't stand in the way of an overall experience.

Apologies will go around, investors won't be held accountable, employees will be fired to feign action, company culture won't change, and they'll all end up rich(er), more influential, and praised by this very community at th

Bringing on a VC is such a huge commitment and with capital becoming easier and easier to come by, I'm often baffled by why there's currently no place online to openly talk about investors and others' experiences with them. I

This is a reality that most do not want to accept. Is it just? Probably not. I've often viewed this as Thinkers vs. Workers. Society places a high value on Thinkers, those who make decisions, strategize, make connections, build relatio

Twitter is terrible for meaningful conversation and debate. And I say that as an avid user. Networking, sharing links, tidbits of insight, short messages, and Q&As all work really well. I've learned quite a bit from the curated art

I would be hesitant to purchase another Fitbit device. As someone who was a hugely loyal fan of theirs, they've repeatedly dropped the ball. I've had to replace multiple devices for loss of functionality, poor quality of the Flex

Lots of things make me regret not studying engineering, but this certainly takes the cake and the entire bakery.

And you're certainly not to blame for that. As an intern and second year, you're at the bottom of the food chain. You have to run this perverse gauntlet where you're burdened with most of the labor while attending physicians

The sad truth is that this is due to a variety of problems at a variety of levels. Of course, all that follows is highly dependent on the team, hospital, and location. A the lowest-level, you have doctors who're just assholes. Unfortun

You're being disingenuous.

Yeah, agreed. It's both interesting and quite disturbing to think about. I have a pretty cynical view on social media and its effects on society. I think Blythe, and many others, do this out of a hatred of themselves and their own live

Many of the comments there are chastising Kathleen for how she responded, but I sympathize with her. As wonderful as the internet has proven to be with connectedness and giving the masses a voice, I struggle to accept that people like Blyth

That's called "mucosa" in medicine. It's more absorptive than skin and often prone to micro-trauma. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_membrane

More people should understand that hospitals are messy. Really messy. From wiping vomit to feces to rolling over patients to changing chucks to wiping down monitor cables to handling bottles of saline that you may inadvertently leave out in

I'll preface by saying that I'm usually a fan of what Ron has to say. I've seen him speak at several Startup Schools, but this chat kind of rubbed me the wrong way. He came off as a man who's finally settled into more ex

This has never really been my impression of Internet of Things. The examples you've mentioned seem far too obvious and simplistic. To me, it's far more than scrambling to find the nth device to make smartphone-connected. I've

"Telling it like it is" is typically a cover used by assholes who want to give a simplistic, boneheaded, confrontational opinion completely devoid of context and empathy.

Sort of off topic, but I have to say that WhatsTheFare is the only web app I've got saved to my home screen. A very, very simple but valuable tool. It's now a permanent part of my "workflow". It's like inter-app inf

Save this sort of terse, over-opinionated, pseudo-insightful shit for Twitter, because that's one hell of a Tweetstorm you've got there.

The people who react that way towards not just ignorance, but inquisitiveness, are plainly assholes. If you do this, you are an asshole, too. I experienced this sort of condescension all through medical school, and my experience is not uniq
