I agree but other than in major central business districts there's only so many places to house thousands of employees such as Google, Facebook, etc. For that reason, I don't think suburban corporate campuses will entirely disappear. Attracting tenants sub 30K square feet (guessing here) I can see this obviously being a big problem.
Re:P&G’s Gillette Sues Dollar Shave Club on Thursday December 17, 2015 @01:40PM (#10753393)
I find it slightly amusing when journalists call companies like Dollar Shave Club an "upstart". It paints this picture that they're this small scrappy startup when in fact they've raised $163M, founded in 2011 and air prime time commercials. But as compared to P&G's market cap of $220B, I get it, they're small potatoes.

The fund is a great play for Slack to become the next enterprise app store. A welcome alternate to the Salesforce AppExchange IMO.

Thiel joining makes YC look like the 1992 Olympics "Dream Team" compared to all of the other accelerators.
Re:What Startups can learn from the Mittelstand on Saturday March 07, 2015 @06:00PM (#9163436)
With the amount of unicorns in 2014 (68) and more coming online, I personally find it difficult to remember that VC isn't the only route to global niche dominance. I hope more entrepreneurs and funders embrace alternate funding sources for "lifestyle companies".

There's this guy Sergey Brin who got a PhD too, he ended up alright. Here's his resume as a student. http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/resume.html
I think the focus here should be that the escalator to steady job promotions and raises are over. There are too many who can't retire and those that are highly educated and underemployed. We should all be open to an entrepreneurial mindset as this data and others show that this is death of traditional career paths. I myself am drawn to the infinite upside and downside of entrepreneurship over the limited earning decided in the first 10 years of my career.
Re:Yii Framework 2.0.0 GA on Sunday October 12, 2014 @07:43PM (#8446950)
I'm a Yii fan but it takes some time learning the "yii" way of doing things i.e. structure, naming conventions. I decided to move on though because the community and module ecosystem are small.
This is awesome man! How did you get the idea for this?
