So we should just give everyone a couple of weeks to sort their systems out or go out of business, and problem will be solved?

Considering it is one of Steve Jobs' buzz words, no.

At a median salary of 125K in a high-cost location like California or New York, quite a while.

You are describing EMBA (executive MBA).

To see problems that incoming students of MSU math department need to solve now, you can check out: http://www.math.msu.su/admission/exams-write.html

E.g. http://www.math.msu.su/admission/MATWRITE/w2001j~1.gif does not seem much easier than "jewish" problems; and my understanding is that math department of MSU attempts to admit brilliant people who deliberately prepare to solve problems of this kind.

Yes

But what people are saying is not "Nate Silver's predictions 1 month before are spot on". They are saying "his predictions ON THE DAY OF ELECTION were spot on".

Which is not that hard to do. Does not mean Nate Silver is a hack. Means people are not measuring his success appropriately.

> Adding the “snooze” function has helped decrease the churn rate down to just 2%.

This is pretty much all there is in the article about "how" that is so prominently featured in link title.

His post should be titled "Hey entrepreneur - please get an MBA when it costs 10 times less".

By "current programs" did he mean existing entrepreneur program that was put on hold, or proposed entrepreneur program that is yet to be implemented?

> There’s also details given of 70 ways you can incur a penalty, but only 13 ways to earn a reward.

To be fair, at my job it's more like 100 and 1.

A better summary of the article would be "Canada planning to make it harder for entrepreneurs to immigrate".

Otherwise one could think that progress is being made. Whereas it looks like Canada doesn't even want entrepreneurs; instead it wants "hot" companies to move to Canada (see VC requirement and just 2750 visas/year).

I am wondering, are there any studies with regard to how successful developers who "couldn’t learn from books" are? Or who need encouragement to "make a definitive commitment to learn"?

This is just so drastically different to what learning programming was for me.

Any time you get an e-mail you didn't need to read, ask yourself "how do I stop these from coming?". More likely than not there is an answer.

You can easily cut your volume by a factor of 10x.

The title is a little misleading: they do tell you all these things and more if you don't rely on blog posts that will unavoidably focus on a couple of things and go for a good book.

Yelp specifically mentions that this would lead to blacklisting of comments in their help, for the reasons of resulting bias (you only ask customers who are happy, you might provide a discount or preferential treatment etc).

If I had a lot of success with ads on facebook, I would keep it quiet, so negative reviews (which there are quite a few these days) lower prices.

Another thing to consider is that facebook was (still is?) in a quiet period due to IPO, and once it's over we will definitely see some good examples of how facebook ads work.

So being featured in a tech blog is not a silver bullet? Good to know.
