There is an active post about burn-out symptoms. People that think work harder and harder is the solution are best candidates for it. Perhaps those that pursue positive karma to the extend that they bend their comments for approval are the next class, so is a real pleasure not to be in that group.

I find that people with negative karma are a lot more interesting than those with positive karma, so this is no complaining at all, I would be very proud to be the person with the most negative karma in this group, it should be an honor, so don't complain if I don't appreciate your karma the way you want it.

I think there should be a curious group of people with negative karma, we could enjoy a lot with our comments and posts, I find positive karma and smiling faces a little boring. Cheers.

There are hundreds of recent failures in start-ups, I think there is no much to learn from the 10 recent failures in the post. I would be better to know examples of those that are going to succeed.

"A growth hacker is a person whose true north is growth", I find this the definitive guide for a growth hacker. I think a better definition is needed something more than a looking for scalable.

If the cheetah eats every deer they will get extinct and there is not deer to eat any more, so there must be an equilibria between predators and prays so is more than a zero-sum game.

Gandhi wife died without receiving antibiotic treatment, perhaps this is something to think about.

Too much social life can ruin your business. Perhaps you must become a member of NYTC once you have built your product and are ready to launch it, otherwise you don't have time for being alert to your social environment.

If company X is a big company, they know better than you the price there can pay for your product. So you need someone than can estimate that number, that is not what is the value of your product but what is the highest price they would pay for your product.

If you can't contact anybody to make this estimate, you should do it yourself but that requires to know a lot about the company that is going to buy your product.

I am expecting F# people in the next year to say that Go is a very complex language and that it doesn't address the problems we are facing in enterprises.

That is every big house has a horse in the language race.

Zero-sum is only a simplification, the world can get richer or poorer and I don't think is a zero-sum game. Evolution is not related to zero-sum games. Perhaps the post is about learning to cooperate is better that thinking life is a zero-sum game.

The useful information is not only that you like an object, but if you want to receive ads for objects "similar" to that one, so they need a way to know how specific are you about your object. If you want a generic object give 0 as specificity level, if you are very selective put 90. If you are only interested in this particular object and not in any other put 100. Just an idea.

Sound as if your mind is in another place. Your mind is on vacation and you want to get it to work again. Unfortunately it refuses to do so and you are in this situation.

Speak with your mind as with a friend and try to convince it that today is not a holiday. You need to order your life, to have a plan for the future, that will give you the strength for today.

To summarize: There are many new and interesting problems for a enterprise to solve and there are not related to marketing. Since the problems are well defined and there is a lot of money involved, good software is appreciated and paid according. This is a new landscape. The article include many examples.

Counting the number of lines must be done after the algorithm is described. There are two roles: those finding the correct algorithm for a problem and those writing the code for implementing the algorithm.

You say: "The voters, alarmed at at surge in violent crime ...", this can be the reason that explain more people in jail, and I think is a sound one. But this implies that more laws are not the cause but the consequence of a raise in violent crime so the title is misleading. You should say in the title: There are more people in jail because there is a rise in violent crimes and I would be happy with this.

Another title: "More people in jail because they don't know how to sum", do you note any difference.

A not sound title is an indicator of a not sound argument.

If you inject cash and want to translate that into more equity, the first step is to determine the monetary value of your MVP product. To measure the effect of leaving your job you need to measure how this factor will increase the value of your MVP product. One you have put numbers on those two factors the rest is an easy computation.

Well, you say you don't have the time or the budget to contribute to Cassandra and Thrift now. Don't despair, perhaps in the future you could contribute to those projects.

Banks fear the complexity of IT. Now they are pushed to get into the challenge of offering new services that require a complex setting, so they smell problems in the near future.

As they use OCaml a lot, they are determined to used for everything and will overcome any difficulty, so they will succeed. Scripting is not a high barrier for such determined persons.

As history demonstrate the number of people is not an indicator of technology progress. Ancient china is a counter-example. The biggest enemy of technology is the idea that technology lead people to catastrophe, that is the end of progress. Many people think that we are in a fast car looking through the rear mirror so nothing good is to come.

People in general are very lazy. If they don't have any interest in what you are doing their opinion or feed-back is going to be very poor. So the lack of feedback is not that important.

The only way I can think of for comparing positions is to allow people change roles.

My personal feeling is that new features require smart people. Keeping customers satisfied is following the old path (old good work). I think there is a mental bias, a preference for new features. You should find a way of showing that fixing bugs require smart thinking.

If you collaborate in the development of new features, making Unit Test, or a good framework for testing, people can see you in a new light.

There should be dense books with very high level in which you are suppose to know the fundamentals and it can explain the core at depth.

I would prefer a conference about emerging features in languages, since many languages only differs in superficial aspects. Is better to located what new features are needed.

Sorry but I don't like the title, the number of laws is not correlated to the number of prisoners. So I would prefer a title that try to explain why there are so many people behind bars.

the problem with following your dreams is that you can end up with a nightmare. Learning to be cautious is a good skill for life.

Well, I thought everyone has an example of things that they don't want but that they have to pay for. The tone of the post is humorous. Is a response (humorous one) to another post entitle "Make things that people want". People money is not about logic reasoning, they pay only when they have to.

The real solution to many of the problems lies in communication, effort and understanding. External tools, simple models and mathematicals tools are not enough.
