I thought this was a well written article and I loved the graphics (especially the one about 30 minute meetings actually taking 68 minutes). However, it's worth noting that this company is fairly small (48 members according to their Ab

"People are born with an innate calling to drug dealing," What the hell is this author talking about? While the he's a pretty accomplished individual, he lost me with his shitty analogies based on false premises.

His article takes aim at these high-end ovens as well, and makes several proposals to make them even better.

We're all reading these articles because we're excited about the future. In that context, the issues you've raised don't seem to be that big. Cost for the bill of materials will drop with mass production, and many of t

Going from a simple millionaire to creating a company like Microsoft takes a lot of hard work to pull off. But if you want to run with your line of reasoning then no one in the US really qualifies as self-made, from the point of view of let

I hate what I know about Intellectual Ventures. But I love Nathan's cook book ( http://modernistcuisine.com/ ) . I may not like what he does with IV, but it's hard to deny the dude's a genius.

@augustl: We manage connections with curl and requests(python). We haven't seen any bottlenecks here yet, so we haven't thought to revisit it. We do, however, use ZeroMQ for other stuff. But I'll always reach for HTTP for a

Why would the average user want to see that warning before every movie? It's a waste of time for most people. If one is such a nitpicker, Netflix isn't a good fit. Pay for the BluRay director's cut. Netflix $7.99/mont

"And at the same time, we can de-emphasize the branch switcher since it’s so rarely used." WRONG. This is why designers shouldn't be "redesigning" stuff they don't use. Branching and merging with ease is what

Sure. But I've seen these design elements all over the web before. Infininum is just as guilty as Kintek when it comes to copying.

It looks like the code viewing area was narrowed. If the redesign was meant to put more focus on content, this decision is perplexing. I wish they'd make a responsive design that would make use of my 24" monitor. Right now I&#x2
