To me, a founder's age and experience has less bearing on salary than circumstances of the business itself. I'd be interested to see:

* Salaries of funded vs. unfunded founders
* Salaries compared across age of the startup
* Salaries compared across year-over-year growth rate
Because capitalist societies are sociopathic constructs that thrive amidst a backdrop of perpetually unresolvable conflict.

The word "Leadership" is merely parlance for unquenchable Macbeth-like ambition, in a land where "greed is good."

This mindset is a self-fulfilling recursive prophecy, whereby everyone's self perception of their own Divine entitlement to authority stokes the flames of the human conflagration with a too-many-chiefs-not-enough-indians firestorm of caffiene and ritalin fueled animosity.

Oh wait, was I supposed to read the article?

I like the idea. I think in general, you can get some things cheaper from retailers in other countries based on differences in the forex rate if the shipping + tax issues are not a problem. You wouldn't even usually need a VPN, just change the language/country settings.

The downside is that things may be cheaper because they weren't subject to some type of import tariff that you may be on the hook for from customs when it arrives in the US.

Which is fine, because Dogecoin is not designed to be a longterm store of value.

As far as I'm concerned, Dogecoin having more Transactions / day makes it far far more successful than BTC. BTC, despite being a better store of value, is literally affecting fewer people, because everyone is so obsessed with hoarding the dang thing.

Dogecoin takes the whole approach and makes a joke of it... and that is why it will be a perfectly fine transaction medium.

Yes it should, we didn't hook it up yet - I couldn't sleep and just had to share it. Sorry about that, will put up some soon and mention it on our Twitter/FB.
Dogecoin is one of those things that is right on the border of insanity and genius. The brand might give it such momentum and it could fit in as the internet tip karma. Reddit gold, gittip, doge, types of coin have social merit for sure and a bit of monetary reward.

I also have hated on Bitcoin (less so on Litecoin). Nonetheless, I'm significantly more open to the idea of using Dogecoin, if only for the absurd numbers they have. (I can give you 1000 DOGE and everyone feels good about it)
I might be a special case but I signed up for Twitter just so I could keep an eye on who is tweeting about my company and make an occasional reply. I don't follow anybody and wouldn't have finished the signup process if I was forced to follow someone. I find it a pretty great solution for real-time customer service, both as a founder and as a customer, but I don't want to hear everything anyone has to say unless they're a good friend of mine and in that case they are on Facebook. For notable people, if I care at all what they have been up to I will go to their blog, and for a real-time event I will simply search for it on Twitter.

The awesome thing about Twitter is they let me use their service exactly how I want to and don't force me to do anything else, like randomly click 5 topics I couldn't care less about. I wish Quora were similar in that respect.
Yes agree mostly, but somehow SO's layout hits my visual comprehension sweetspot pretty good. I guess my only complaint would be this which I raised a while back, but was poo-poo'd:

You have it backwards. If it was GPL, that would prevent other people from creating closed proprietary versions of their software. GPL or AGPL would prevent competition. Since they are the copyright owner they get unrestricted use to the software even if the rest of us had to follow the GPL.

I have made a great living through recruiters. But, it did take me a while to figure out which are worthwhile and who are not. Yes, you'll get spammed and you will never get off those spam lists but none the less, it has all worked out for me.

Some things from my experiences:

1. 99% won't read your resume and just auto mail you anything that matches a keyword in your resume. Just auto delete or block those companies

2. Only talk to recruiters who actually call you. They tend to actually have more valuable jobs. But there will be lots of spam here too

3. Recruiters will bring you jobs which you can't get on your own. They have priority access and many positions fill before they ever hit the boards. If you are just applying by yourself, you won't see 50% of what's actually out there

4. You can bargain with recruiters. If you are hourly and you stand your ground, you can often push the rate higher. A recruiter will rather fill a position through his company than make a few extra dollars. Filling positions gives them return business, that pays loads in the long term for them so they are motivated to negotiate

5. They are often aware of positions other than what you are interviewing for. If you are interested in a different role within the same company, they can talk directly to the hiring manager about a role which is in the works

6. Beware the hierarchy of recruitment companies. You always want to be talking to the primary org, not a subcontractor to the primary..or worse. Rates get worse the further you get from the primary recruitment company which actually holds the contract with the client

I'm curious how deeply you went for an integrated approach for projects / email / tasks / files. I find the more integration you do, the more learning users must do vs. individual applications with loose integration that are more familiar to users (that behave like those in the title).

I've spent a fair amount of time trying out both personal and business team workflow in Trello, Jira/Agile, Asana, Google Apps, Evernote, etc.

Currently giving a couple weeks of my productivity to IQTELL (http://iqtell.com), which goes for a heavily integrated full-on GTD approach that I'm finding rather refreshing (everything in one tool!). Was waiting for the past few years for them to figure things out and open to the public. It has its own issues and learning curve, and lacks that final 20% polish that makes Trello and Asana such a pleasure to use. But with such deep integration between email, projects, tasks, contexts, contacts, calendars, and Evernote (would love direct Dropbox file access), along with a fair amount of customizability, I'm finding the learning curve to be worth it.

Yes, and to be more concrete, the idea of micropayments as a way to keep the media/journalism industry alive was something that was essentially dropped in favor of pay-walls. I don't think anyone considers the latter solution to be wholeheartedly successful. If ƉOGE tipping can finally make micropayments a reality, it's going to get a lot of attention.

The price difference comes from Southwest's price being different than Delta's. Southwest flights wont show up when searching Kayak's USA site, but they do show up on international Kayak pages. It sounds like that's because they don't want to pay the brokerage fees for flights booked through the USA versions of Kayak/Expedia/Travelocity -- but I'm not sure of that.

Interesting experiment though!
so what you're saying is dogecoin is the php of the crypto world. we all know how that turned out.
We still haven't decided on the pricing, but the main idea we have is $19/user/month, with some volume discounts. We want to offer top notch support, and we replace a number of apps plus add a lot of value on top of them through the integration and polish. So I think that our customers will see that the value is far higher than the $19/month.
Consider a degree like a widget that is a trust metric. If you want to extract the highest price for your widget, you sell your product to the market with the deepest pockets. That in a nutshell seems to explain why university education is pitched to the 1%.
It's been quite obvious for some time that learning institutions (especially at the university level) have an ever stronger left leaning political and cultural agenda. Who better to indoctrinate to push their agenda than future leaders?

I always detested this empty "leadership" concept and I actively avoided doing anything like that in high school. I was lucky enough to get into my top choice of universities despite this. Today, I don't think I would be able to do that, and I only graduated high school 10 years ago.

People always say this sort of thing when talking about distant events, it's not actually true.

When we're talking about long distances then the relativity of simultaneity comes into play strongly. There is no universal ordering of events, there is a substantial degree of relativity to ordering of events that are separated by great distances. And, in fact, the only hard boundaries on this ordering are the "light cones" connecting events. In one reference frame the M82 supernova could have happened 12 million years ago, in another reference frame it could have happened a year ago, or two years ago, or even 20 million years ago. In the reference frame of any neutrinos that happened to have been created in the supernova it would have occurred mere seconds or hours before the first light reached Earth.

Our idea is to give a time limited trial, with unlimited users but with some storage limits.

Plus everyone will be able to cooperate with external contractors for free - you can add as many of them as you want and their accounts will be fully functional but with a few limitations.

For example instaed of sending an email to someone - you can send a task (the form is nearly the same), automatically creating a free account for that target user. This way you can keep track of the request and ping him if he forgets, store it in your project hierarchy, etc. And the recipient gets it through email and can reply only via email without even registering.

Why are Americans afraid of giving out their bank account numbers? The only thing you can do with an IBAN is send money to it, and that's hardly malicious.

In the US you only need a name and bank account number (and to know which bank it belongs to to find the routing number) to make ACH withdrawals. That's why.

I view Bitcoin as being more like "gold" and Dogecoin as more like "change in your pocket". As it is even with the recent runup in price, the value is not even 1 penny USD per Doge.

Gold is more valuable, but in terms of actually changing hands (I am not talking about trading paper gold) the daily volume is low. Meanwhile lots of people use coins every day.
I feel like everyone should be a "leader", in that it's important to develop qualities that are useful in leaders. Critical thinking, decision making, etc.

Even if you're not actually in charge, the related skills of leadership are useful.
Wow, I'd always wondered what the heck obidos was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obidos_%28software%29
>And rhetoric? It's reality. Our most recent 6 terms of presidents, and 9 out of 9 current Supreme Court justices, all have degrees from Harvard or Yale. So the whole leadership thing appears to be working, whether or not you think that's a good thing.

I think this has quite a bit more to do with the good ol' boy network and less to do with Yale's ability to produce leaders.

Most of those things, (also "communication skills") are probably not really best described as "leadership skills". They are more "general life skills", but "leadership skills" is just the popular thing to call them I guess.

The problem is when things like college admissions start believing that these skills are best demonstrated in "leadership positions".

Not really, but FB losing 80% of its users by then -- which is 8 times greater reduction than decimation would be -- is.

I might be oversimplifying things... But more data usage is what I would expect given that 5S is faster compared to 5.

I make an assumption that less we wait for apps to start/load data is more time we can use to consume more data. I am sure there are other contributing reasons such as more media rich apps (taking advantage of faster hardware/networks) played significant role as well.
