"Don't reinvent the wheel, unless you plan on learning more about wheels"

Does Google Sheets not solve a lot of these issues?

>But the reality is that there is way more money in knowing people than in doing work.

Unless, you know, you enjoy doing the actual work more than being essentially a manager/middleman.

Anyone have a link that backs this up?

So you're indicating a $250k salary, is that realistic?

Really? 10 years at one of these companies (AmaGooBookSoft) and you're a millionaire?

I'm not averse to cycling, I just didn't think it would be too scenic around the Valley.

Unfortunately I have no contacts in these big companies.

That's a good shout on the redwoods, I had no idea this was on offer near the SF area, thanks.

I'll be in SF 9-16th April.

Any recommended coffee shops?

I assume for Apple it is just the company store at their HQ they let people into? Or can you tour the rest of it?

Are there any cool, generous Googlers here that would be able to arrange a tour? My email is in my profile, I would be very appreciative.

A Stanford tour looks interesting, looks like they have a general walking tour and more specific science/engineering tours that you can book.

That does sound like a decent day out though doesn't it? Thanks.

First off, this looks excellent.

This undoubtedly trumps the likes of CD Baby in many ways, but one reason I could see people sticking with them is that, even though to upload an album at CD Baby is more expensive up front, it's a one-off payment. You pay the $40 or whatever it costs, then that's it, the music stays up there at no further cost. From the DistroKid FAQ, if you stop paying your yearly fee then the music can be removed.

Clearly though such users aren't your target audience, you're going after the musicians that want to upload songs all the time, as opposed to albums.

Good luck to you though, this is the type of innovation this industry desperately needs.

Immediately thought of the same Louis CK bit from Conan.

Pascal's quote is revealing and shows that this problem is by no means a recent invention. Though I would wager that new technology has made it much, much easier to quickly distract ourselves from idleness.

This is a great idea, well executed.

I found out recently that the French word for Internet user is "Internaute".

I genuinely thought it might be April.

Are there not any services currently that let you send out press releases?

I'm pretty sure the questioner knows what Fizz Buzz is, but they are asking what an equivalent test would be for an engineering manager.

Google?

The mobile app is much simpler to use than the website.

Nerdist

It's a humongous, impressive step that the notebook has been digitized and made publicly available. Surely the step to be able to download is only a trivial slight further step, the flicking of a switch, that has been prevented probably just for some bureaucratic reason.

It shows more promise, but I have no idea how they manage to get from brain scans to (quoting the article headline) "[patient] says 'I'm not in pain'".

Having seen this type of story debunked before, I feel the quotes in the post title should be around the word "communicates".

I'm not sure how conclusive the evidence is based on the article.

Who in your opinion should be ahead?

I see a few names on that list that shouldn't even be in the queue in my opinion.

David Beckham, Jonny Wilkinson, Robbie Williams, Michael Vaughan, Terry Wogan, Princess Diana...

How does the pricing compare?
