This is a little off topic, but here goes. Shameless self promotion incoming. I'm working on a startup called http://APIXchange.co Think 99 designs but for API integration. Basically, freelancers with experience with various APIs do integ

Wise from the perspective of attracting investors? Maybe. Wise from the perspective of running a functional business? No. Fudging metrics to make yourself feel better is crazy. How are you expected to know the actual health of your business

It seems as though it's not really what you know, but what you're willing to do/learn. I was the business founder in my last startup, and I picked up technical skills to help when needed and coached my co-founders on sales when they needed

Couldn't these things just be increasingly safe car designs? When I started driving in 2005 side curtain airbags weren't even that common much less all the safety features we have today.

For situational depression it can. Clinical depression is an entire other beats, but regular exercise increases the levels of serotonin in your brain and releases more endorphins that elevate your mood.

As someone who is finally starting to get out of being depressed don't do it. The important thing here is to tell yourself it will get better. There are 2 things that really helped me. 1. Is changing your perspective. You don't care about l

Exactly. Just like getting a job you have to pay your dues in a lower position before you get to be the CEO.

Not a bad idea. The design needs work. I can tell you right now that I'll never use your service though. I'm a pretty big bro, but honestly your entire tone is incredibly condescending. Just because I wear polos and was in a fraternity does

That's incredibly interesting. I'm actually working on a startup with my SO too. It's been a trip so far. I really feel like we're growing closer because of it. Plus she doesn't bother me about working odd hours because she's next to me :)

In the Adria Richards trial there are 2 upstanding people. Jim Frankiln (CEO of Sendgrid) Who offered not only a pertinent, but fair fair reaction to this entire thing, but also The Pycon staff members. Who, without ego or vendetta, enforce

All I'll say is this, and really it's what it boils down to. Regardless of if you think she was in the right or the wrong, she is a developer evangelist. That means she goes around and tries to get companies to pick up her product. After al

I think it's also very pertinent to point out that they in fact aren't employees of Uber. They aren't being denied work or fired, they're being denied from using Uber's service. This is absolutely no different than hell banning a troublesom

Interestingly enough it's often the industry in question often arguing for limits on itself. Less supply means they get to jack up their prices.

I'd like to second what you're saying. The ability to play with my friends in our own private regions is an awesome one, and one I'm glad they included. Frankly, I would have no problem with anything they're doing if it just worked. The big

It's been fun while I've actually been able to connect to EA's servers. (which is rare). I'm not going to beat the anti-drm drum, but I will say this. If EA is going to go this route they had better have the resources available to make it h

Dwolla's entire network is based on pushing the transaction rather than pulling. You can send request, but ultimately the money doesn't move until send it with your pin.

I'm originally from Illinois (Non chicago) and I would agree with that sentiment. In fact, where I'm from, everyone called it the People's Republic of Chicago and the rest of the state as Kentucky proper . (As a joke of course) On a more se

Provide evidence. I hate hearing this claim without any quantifiable proof being provided at all.

by littlegiantcap 14y ago
I'd say that in a pure numbers game. i.e. 1 mil to 500k troops you may be right. The military as an idea is undergoing a dramatic transformation that's been happening since the dawn of the nuclear weapon. The challenges we face now are quit

by littlegiantcap 14y ago
Points 2 and 4 are frankly just wrong. I know the idea of a peace loving utopia is a fun one, but claiming that there is no need for a military and just out of hand dismissing the US as "corrupt" without any quantifiable evidence is frankly

Even where we are now I know several people who are going back to school to get their comp sci degrees that were previously anything from teachers to law school graduates. I would argue that 1. This market is elastic and that 2. labor is sl

The pope has said condoms can be used to help stop the spread of aids in some circumstances. I wouldn't really classify homosexual marriage as "science" but the catholic prohibition on it deals more with natural law and sex having to have b

Yeah, well if we want to split hairs Evolution is theory. Granted a pretty good one, but still. Another thing is you're assuming Catholics are biblical literalist (hint: we aren't). Think of some things in the bible (part of the book of gen

by littlegiantcap 14y ago
Catholics believe in evolution. With the catholic interpretation of the bible, science is generally seen as the how and the religious side as the why.
