I have my own (and many) criticisms of Scrum, but this article is so poorly written that I cannot say whether the author's views align with my own. I couldn't make it beyond the first few paragraphs.

I'd take anything Guo Wengui says about the Chinese gov't with a grain of skepticism. Steve Bannon has been running around promoting Guo's story as part of the larger anti-China Trumpist narrative. https://foreignp

Treehouse’s abandonmnent of the 4-day work week suspiciously coincided with their taking on a Series B round of funding. I’m implying they were pressured to drop it by investors. This was followed by significant layoffs. Furthermore, no for

I fail to see the point of this article. Apple should have thought twice before launching Apple Pay because the author feels this guys is a rising star? We should feel bad for him because the world's most valuable company validated his

Met Ruan and John at the Hack Reactor open house two weeks ago. Super nice guys and Smidge is a great concept. Really happy to see it get some recognition.

Well, this is how our system works. There is nothing stopping me from filing suit against you for posting this comment because it hurt my feelings. Then the judge throws it out because there's no basis in the law for my claim.

This was my favorite line from the article, actually. The quote in question: "Practically all start-ups internally are disasters" Not just "often", but "practically all" start-ups. It's true in my experience, and not necessarily a bad thing

Suhail, with regard to impact on installed sites I agree that lost event data is not the end of the world. However, it's currently taking 20-30 seconds for requests (inserting the mixpanel js) to timeout. During the outage, it would be much

This is phenomenal. I mean that both in the colloquial (it's fuckin' awesome) and the literal. Louis CK's direct-to-consumer efforts are a phenomenon that (I sincerely hope) are ushering in a new era of entertainment marketing and sales. Th
