The irony is that Indeed is not the best place to find work for those 2200 who lost their jobs. Indeed used LinkedIn to hire me :3

A bit sensationalist IMO. From my experiences costly Tokyo rentals are optional. During college I lived in central Tokyo on a budget that was much less than what I had in the States (120,000 jpy) - working near full time mind you. Started o

Actually quite a few places allow you to get in without such deposits. I've lived here since my last two years of college - totaling 8 years now - and never had an issue getting in with almost zero down aside from rent and guarantor co

Programmers I've worked with who valued refactoring code instead of building features have also been some of the most negative people I've met.

I've done email marketing for some pretty big companies over the last 3-4 years, as well as a few smaller ventures. When it comes to generating revenue, HTML wins across the board in my experience with general goods' EC, daily deal, educati

I really hope Valve takes them on in some shape or form, even if it's their own flavor of Linux. Then Windows will be good for just Microsoft Office. And that's it. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/steams-newell-windows-...

Since I was downvoted please allow me to explain by expanding on that question with more questions: What sort of license did you have on Nodester's code prior to acquisition? You said "We also used the following open source libraries / NPM

Nice! Knew what a fullstack programner was so I was thinking it might be along those lines. As was mentioned before, more often than not, startups have limited funding and can't afford both a UX guy and designer. Full stack for the budge

I'm talking about all these Tony Robbins wannabes and content companies using startup/entrepreneurship as an angle. Useful voices: 37signals folks, Eris Reiss, HBR, anyone here, etc. Not useful voices: Inc.com, Forbes.com, Random dude runn

Anyone else tired of all these entrepreneur/startup blogs and articles? It's a bubble in itself. Now I skip past them like I skip tabloid and gossip "articles".

Lifehacker and other multinational blogs should take note as well. The cynic in me wants to tell you that you'll only learn Japanese better if you immerse yourself ;)

I'd sooner be called "janitor" and receive fair share than have a title and less. But your point is depressingly common, especially with the Rocket Internet CEOs/co-founders who receive less than 5% for anything the Samwer Brothers try clon

CEO's join companies after they've been around for years to earn valuable sums of money for the skilled work and long hours they put in. It motivates them to turn around the company. It's not about the % they earn it's about the return th

I find most startup guys to be complete douchebags that just want to profit off the hard work of more competent and talented individuals. That or have the fancy title. This is based on two experiences of being the nice guy whose skills/con

It really depends who you talk to. At Groupon EU, Japan, Korea and USA we called customer life time value "LTV". Also, Avinash Kaushik, author of one of the best books on Web Analytic and previous Google Evangelist, uses LTV as well. http
