Read some more of Aaron's stuff, including his Authoritas thing he promotes at the end of the article, and he's the one who comes across as the possible sociopath.

Why would a company's purpose ever be smaller than their product? Isn't purpose really just a way of articulating the company's ideal long-term vision?

You're +3-3.5 sigma on big picture stuff??? LOL. How do you come to that conclusion?

Right because using the Facebook platform to gain tens of millions of users and hundreds of millions in revenue off simplistic games with poor graphics has definitely been a poor business decision.

This is definitely one of the few positive things Jason Calacanis does.

I don't think I was suggesting that he should require his users to sign a waiver of liability or anything like that. All I said was that something involving food should take this type of thing a bit more seriously than something that doesn'

What if there's a recipe that includes poison as an ingredient? Or, more realistically, recipes that cause food allergies or something along those lines. I don't think it's at all likely he'll get sued, but I do think his product is riskier

This is another person who doesn't understand real Facebook users (as opposed to the people who just joined so they could "participate in social networking") at all. A leaderboard ranking your connections is an idiotic idea. Having more fr

So you think the best way to judge whether an applicant might be a good addition to a college is whether he makes money in the free market? If he had been a Paid intern, that would make his experience more valuable for the college? Does som

The first one seems friendlier. The second seems a bit more professional. I think you need to make it so when the arrow opens the bubble it doesn't cover up other information on the page.

As someone who actually goes to top school, I cannot even fathom how someone would think that being captain of a track team and learning calligraphy would be more impressive than lobby U.N. delegates. Track captains are a dime a dozen and t

Why do people have to post links to BusinessInsider? They are a garbage site that does nothing other than to take other people's work and repackage it on their site (often slideshow form so they get more pageviews). They leech off the produ

That type of strategy consulting is completely different from IT consulting. You don't "ascend" from doing IT work at Accenture or IBM into doing management consulting at MBB.

I'm assuming he's already a senior because she's a National Merit Finalist. Where are you going to college?

But there are many more misconceptions in your comment. First, Kasparov became world #1 when he was 20 and then world champ when he was 22. Second, there has been ratings deflation among the top players over the past few years. When Kasparo

Well he is better than Kasparov now. If they played a match, he'd definitely win.

This reminds me of the video of an old Kiai Master (using chi to physically attack people) fighting a young karate guy. The old guy can't really do anything and gets hit a couple times. It's pretty funny but also pretty sad that the Kiai Ma

Watch carefully at around 1:15. When the camera comes is shot behind the designers, the envelop is not on the table. It is still in Derren's hand, as it should be. When the camera view switches to the one from behind Derren, the envelope (o

I agree with his complaints about reusable apps to an extent, but I feel a lot of the fault has to do with the design of the apps he referred to. I feel that the good apps are the ones that focus on a very narrow scope and try a singular pr

There's definitely a lot of jealously, particularly among the wantrepreneurs that frequent this site. Why don't you go out and try to build your own thing rather than spend so much time trying to nitpick at the foibles of successful people

There are obviously limits about what an employee can say about his boss, but I'd trust Boz's assessment more than just about anybody else's at Facebook. He didn't glorify Mark as some perfect boss but tried to communicate honestly about th

If I had to score the entire Michael Arrington, Chandra Rathakrishnan battle over the CrunchPad/JooJoo at this point it would go as follows: 1 point Michael, zero points Chandra. I think it's still 0 points Michael.

Some of these are really easy, and others might be a bit difficult if you haven't seen them before. I had to solve to pirate gold one during an interview without know the answer. I was pretty proud to get it, and the guy could tell I hadn't

People do become analysts for the pay (in addition to the exit opportunities). Despite the per-hour rates, there's definitely something alluring about the idea of making more (even if only marginally so) than your peers right out of college

It was crazy foggy in Palo Alto this morning and has been for the past of couple of mornings. I'm really surprised they tried to fly in those conditions. The report suggests that the power outage in Palo Alto may have been caused by the pla
