I rather deliver a great "give yourself upworthy's advantages for your content" and break my own sourdough...
But this is a startup that jumped the shark of meaning of startups. If they told me they had angel money, I'd be very concerned about investing in startups myself (if only I could)
which remind's me, I need to feed my sour starter today!
Me either.
I also think design has lost something major by losing these people. Much of the cutting edge site design today feels throwback compares to Jodi
You could use acetate, acrylic paint, plus glue to do a dyi screenprint on the run. I did this, and I have shirts that have held up 10 years :)
Fun fact: The US did have competitive currencies for a bit, during the Antebellum and Civil War period.

There were a lot of bank busts and currency scares.
Out of curiosity, what did you think of the Circle
The only assumption that is missing is how much is a years worth od disability vs a years worth of BI. The reason I ask is that there is defintiely a population of unknown sized that is on disability that maybe should not be on it (NPR/Planet Money covered this)
http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/
without knowing how many would switch from disability to BI and/or BJ - hard to say (I would say based on the disabilities described, like severe back pain so no more construction, more would be inclined to switch to BI and not BJ)
awesome
Don't feel guilty. Though if you haven't had kids yet and both of you want them, I hope you spoke to her oncologist about how to deal. If not, young survival coalition has some information on fertility and BC
What bothers me the most about this article, the charity work, the pink ribbons.
We have no idea what causes cancers, particularly breast cancer, in those who are young. We know some people carry risk factors (BRCA1 and BRCA2, certain subvariations of each) in their genes, and yet not all cases of people with the genes will get cancer, and not all people who get cancer young have any gene (in fact, most don't).
We also don't know why some cancers metastasized and some don't. Most women who get breast cancer at her age (39-40) survive.
I say this as someone who is extremely high risk (high enough that I have not hit thirty and I'm hunting for a new breast specialist who can get me MRIs instead of mammograms). I'd like to be able to know what to cut out to decrease my risk, beyond generic eat right and exercise (and I do eat right and exercise). I'm a tad angry that information is not available to me (I've looked). Because on a personal level, I'd like to stop seeing younger cancer cases.
because of stopping. It takes more force to stop. Plus you would throw everyone and their stuff on the train around the process (they have no breaks for their forward acceleration).
You already feel a mild version of this in rush-hour on NYC subways. Your body will move slightly as the train breaks, often causing people to lose balance (particularly if they never experienced this previously)
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Sorry, but you're the guy (as a type) I went on tons of dates with before meeting my current boyfriend. I always ended up running away, because I felt like you were out to impress me and not actually, you know, talk to me.
To me, had I gotten into a relationship with you, I would have had no idea of how to deal with your emotional needs - plus how would I expect you to take care of mine. There never was any hint of that on a date with that type.
Which is why I am not dating a guy like you at all...
Move to a bayesian approach for experiment design?
I'm not sold that always being in the social context of work is healthy. And as my cofounder says "Keeping healthy is the cheapest way to get stuff done"
Further, productivity drops if you work 24/7.
On a personal level - time for other things (including laundry) outside of work does make me more productive because it gives me to time to think about work. The mind relaxes and you make connections you would not otherwise.
upvote for ice cream. or anything else
Just as a caveat - I know Anne. I'm also a lady, so, some of the sexism arguments both do and don't ring true.
I'm not sure what I think. I've drunk alcohol in the office that had beer as a way of thinking through a problem. It worked. I also know a few engineers and other tech people who are alcoholics, and have admitted to me they spent serious time (and still do) in AA. I'm not sure the continual serving beer at pretty much every tech event I've ever been to is good for their careers. I'm 90% sure theire are events where they just bow out of because of temptation reasons (not every event, but still) I personally wouldn't mind a dry event just for calorie count/i don't need it reasons on occasion.
I also know that other countries drinking during the day is much more normal (an example here :http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2010-04... ) I also think other countries have very different feelings towards alcohol. The US still has some puritan motifs in its alcohol culture.
Finally, the one thing that does bother me - beer in tech companies usually means they want you to be there 24/7. Fine, ok - but you can do business elsewhere. For all you know interacting with some bartender may help you - and it isn't going to happen if your work life is also your social life, as implied by the kegs.
no, you are right
So I just downloaded - why can't i figure out where TV mode is...hmmmm
Is this open to non-church religious organizations?
I have a friend who is a rabbi of a small but extremely cool, open orthodox synagogue on the Lower East Side (he's also a former web developer) He's done crowd funding before for the synagogue, since the building is historically important. Due to the fact that the congregation is open to whomever showing up, compared to other orthodox synagogues on the LES, he has an extremely tech literate crowd.
It might be a good match if it works for not-churches.
t-mobile isn't own by the same entity in Croatia
I thought the article said "People react to bias that can cover up actual innate ability." I buy that idea.
It is easier to say determination matters more if you don't talk about inborn ability from the start. Talk about it as people are peaking out.
Most Christians in the US are evangelical

I would also debate that many people calling themselves Protestant who go to mainline churches aren't really christian except in a cultural way. Unlike their Evangelical brothers, they have a tendency to not show up at church
I went to one of the schools mentioned, and am active in alumni affairs in my city. I also have a liberal arts degree.
I don't think these numbers work. And I see it in the fact that alumni affairs is beefing up its career services portion of its events. There is a recognition that if donations are to continue, then understanding that the careers they were sending kids off to based on prestige are slowly disappearing, and that the adults that had those careers are starting to transition into something else.
I'm also not 100% convinced that career offices at liberal arts schools are prepared for this. While I'm actually fairly happy with what I learned (because I can see it taught me to both think analytically about various subjects and communicate what I thought), I also can see that the traditional preparation has absolutely nothing to do with the well paying jobs out there. Further, when I finally figured out some ideas of what I was interested in late in college, my career office actually had no idea how these positions work or what they are like in real life.
I'm not sure they still do either, based on other times I've interacted with graduates. Many of them fell into what they did based on their connections (which all the schools mentioned provide, no doubt), including myself, at times. Based off resumes I've seen, particularly for technical marketing type roles (which I've seen more of, so I can comment about that), the internships don't seem to fully provide a good glimpse of what they know (and can vary hugely), or if they fully understand what goes on in these positions. Further, internships up until recently mattered very little - as the school could provide connections.
Weirdly, I don't blame the school at all. I'm more appalled that they admitted to me at graduation that I should take an unpaid internship (height of the recession) because they figured that most students could afford to effectively work their first jobs unpaid to get skills for jobs they don't know how to connect people to. This is not going to change until they get more alumni with a wider range skills, so, hence, above.
TL:DR Schools are doing this because up until now they could send their kids into jobs. Now well-paid careers are shifting, and they can't. This matches up with the rise of internships and stories like these. Meh.
