Pud is Phil Kaplan. He made a few bucks on AdBright, got married and still hacks up wild ideas that mostly whiff. Plays the drums.

We take PDFs and convert them to XML, CSV or put them in a DB and provide an access API. Can anyone think of a use case for this type of system?

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Invest in your network and everything else will fall into place.

This article is so wrong, on so many levels it's hard to imagine that this was in a respected newspaper. The idea that some folks should not go to college is, at best, quaint. This reason that people attend college varies a great deal. Not

Just looked up this company on Glassdoor. As I suspected this jerk has created a company culture of suspicion and hate. He himself is not respected by his team as is proved by his abysmal rating. As a potential employee I'd take one look at

This ain't Baseball, it's a horrible result. I would NEVER hire a manager or leader that fired a full 1/3 of his hire. It just shows a lack of any kind of management skill and behavior like this will quickly tell your remaining 2/3rds that

Exactly! This concept of "firing" is the purview of assclowns. People that have no management skill yet who lust after director or VP titles after a year in the industry. These people are doomed to building small things. Small companies, sm

Except that is NOT what happens. Take the case of a large Chinese network company that now competes with Cisco. This company stole intellectual property from Cisco via a corrupt Indian software engineer. This code formed the basis for a com

Why can't the venture capital go there. Every article on Venture these days says American VCs are looking overseas more than here. Surely they'll find the best and brightest with great ideas and can invest at a better exchange rate by keepi

Geez, I had a similar experience with a guy named Ryan. I think this is some rouge clown masquerading as a lot o different people.

This is great except one still has to manage on a machine by machine basis. Not scalable. Why do we move the ball forward with cloud computing only to go right back to old habits?

1/5th of the worlds population. 0/5ths of the worlds killer apps. Nothing of any value has come from India or Indian nationals.Except more Indian Nationals... India is a factory, nothing more. In this context this clown is right. No US Grad

This is a really good idea. VCs sort of do this but they exact to high a price. YC sort of does this but they are more focused on funding. Then there are the legions of consultants that do some part of this but not the whole thing.

The H-1B program has been discredited by study after study. US Innovation did not suddenly begin with the presence of foreign "talent". Indeed if you examine the impact of this talent in their own countries you'll see that there is very lit

This article is about age discrimination in high technology. It suggests a number of reasons for it not the least of which is foreign immigration under the flawed H1B program. Other causes are that young people promote it and try to justify

First of all forget the "humble" requirment. Anyone that is senior and has crew knows what his value is and is not going to be impressed with a suit. Second, if you have a M$FT based idea then you're in the right place. If not you need to
