Re:Why Funding can Kill Your Startup Fast – Emerging Market on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @11:45AM (#12305539)
Did you really say a good product will sell itself? Generally this is not true, especially for enterprise solutions. But, I'm happy to be proven false if you can provide examples

Can someone please build one of these around SF. We desperately need it. ;)
The poster uses the word traffic a lot but doesn't explain enough why he thinks it's tragic.

At our company code reviews are my way or the highway. Raising objections only gets you negative feedback. It's mostly for coding style, spaces, variable names.

You probably would be if you lived in SF. Since the available housing ratio to jobs is 1 to 3, they have effectively guaranteed that not all jobs can ever be filled. Great for the job supply!

The manager in the first story is absolutely egregious, passive aggressive and should probably be reported to HR

I do believe in paying for solid articles, but 29$ is about 2 orders of mag to Much. The paywall implementation is horrible too, I couldn't even Sign in with Facebook

It's awfully convenient how they left that obvious third group out. I'm willing to bet that the 45 m group never reached their target heart rate
It's theft. People don't explicitly agree to it. It's forced on you. And most taxes don't go towards the advancement of society. Advancement comes from the people and businesses.

As people get older they don't require quite as much rest. I know people in their 60s who say they feel completely rested with just 7 hours.
Great. Now let's work on making incomes legal. I'm still getting fined in the name of "income taxes"

What city are you in? I scoot in st all the time and have never ever had a negative look. Actually, chicks dig it. Once in a while I get a complement on a5 lux scooter.

It works great at the office too.

Re:How Employers Get Out of Paying Their Workers on Sunday May 24, 2015 @12:35AM (#9595309)
