I like the price point about $1/1000records. Just curious to hear how you arrived at this price point.

The point being a referral based system incentivizes people to bring in quantity to stack the odds in their favor. Quality gets sidetracked, not necessarily maliciously.

From the OSM home page: "We started it because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways." To me, thi

I just got an email from a recruiter who's looking for a SQL DBA. The applicant must know (note the lack of mention of DBA skills): Java Script, jQuery, CHTML, CSS I also frequently get asked by recruiters "how much do you make?". How is my

Like someone else already said, you get a generalized education with colleges, unless you know what you want to do for the rest of your life at 17. The other flip side to apprenticeships, particularly in the US, a year into it company manag

It would be interesting if the author ever went back and figured out whatever happened to Bill, the horrible boss. People like Bill often don't last long in a swim or sink environment like Amazon. If you're not a superstar, and I'm as un-su

I hate articles like these for the sole reason that they go into a laundry list of things to do or avoid. A few examples of blogs doing things the right way would go a long way in educating us, instead of preaching.

We look ahead at 3991 AD and find it to be depressing. I've always wondered how past civilizations (Greeks, Egyptians, etc) would find our modern day civilization.

Obviously 37S has built up enough of a trust level with the employees to even experiment with something like this. That in itself is commendable. Dan Pink talks about Atlassian and their "FedEx days" in his talks on intrinsic motivators. Se

I run into this all the time at work. I'm the guy who makes "shit" work at our under-manned start-up. Lately I'm finding it to my detriment because a. management releases shit as-is instead of using it as a temporary solution and dedicating

Good point. I was not necessarily referring to the physicality of books but the notion these book-burners subscribe to, that if they symbolically burn a book, the idea will perish. Your point of the Nazis burning the books out of supply onl

Burning a book (good or bad) is the lowest form of expression humans can stoop to. If people understood the fact that a book is simply a personification of ideas, and ideas good or bad, cannot perish in a fire, the will realize the folly of

One of the reasons Apple fails at social is it's fanboys/gals. If you're walking around telling people to "Get a Mac" when your friends run into minor issues, chances are your social recommendations are not going down well either.
