I think we've proven that we don't need the East Coast for: the PC revolution, the Internet revolution and the Mobile revolution.

They can sit out the electric car revolution as well...

Who the hell wants to go to "Milford, Conn." anyways ;)

it was painful to watch.

i had to press pause on the dvr several times (and check twitter) just to get through a few of the episodes.

what hit me hardest was: if you are going to devote a large percentage of your air time to party scenes (each episode was 25% - 75% party scenes) there has got to be better people to follow to parties than techies.

of all the people on the program I thought Kim came off the best (she seems pretty legit), Dwight wasn't a total tool either.

yeah this is a pretty classic example of what startups have to deal with: irrational customers.

the guy is getting $3k from a transaction that breaks all kind of rules, and is upset that a _SCAN_ of his Driver's License might be intercepted in a "man in the middle" attack on a sent email!?!?!?

my guess about the car industry is it had to do with the interaction between diverse customer preferences (car colors, options) and the realities of car production (large batches, economies of scale).

Microsoft has learned a trick about recruiting straight from college developers.

Microsoft quotes the new higher a large number (120k per year) but it is all back end weighted to a bonus at the 15th month or some sort.

this allows Microsoft to see the work product and fire the ones that don't cut it, way before the bonus comes.

maybe you should start your own company?

seems to me you chaff quite a bit about being a "wage slave"

i will say: i am glad i don't have to wake up everyday and think about ride sharing.

Data!

... but, not really sure what meaning i am supposed to take away from this.
