In addition to GA and/or Mixpanel, I recommend fullstory.com for web based apps to see individual user sessions in very high fidelity.

I worked in one of the buildings built atop this HP site[1]. It had a big water pump in the parking lot treating the ground water.

The story went that the HP instruments used to detect the ground water pollution levels were first built at the very site.

> Bitcoin has evolved to become better-suited to being an asset than being a means of exchange.

I would say it has evolved to become an instrument for speculation or a hedge against a local currency's volatility.

I would recommend pointing out errors one on one, not in a meeting of a manager's direct reports.

In this one on one, I would feign having trouble understanding the model and ask the manager to walk you through it in more detail so you can understand it. During the review, ask some pointed questions that will lead the manager towards the error.

In many cases while explaining the model in detail, the manager will discover the error on their own.

This approach allows the manager to save face. Many times, the manager will be very relieved and many times they will realize you knew there was an error all along.

Back in the mid eighties rendering very simple three dimensional scenes using ray tracing took a great deal of time.

Sounds like you are missing a domain expert in a domain you care deeply about.

Find such a person and identify a few immediate "pain points" in the space that can be quantifiably measured.

If I could humbly suggest a few: obesity, student loan debt, and US elder care.

Good luck.

It would be really cool if websites published their frequently changing information in some kind of text based stream or feed. [1]

> no way that a civilization that developed on such a planet would not at some point endeavor to travel to those other planets.

That seems like a very human statement.

One could argue for a civilization to succeed it must be content with living on its home planet. And as a result, it would take good care of it.

Here in the Silicon Valley, there are three very large medical groups: Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, and Sanford Health Care. They represent over 22,000 doctors.

Specialists still seem to work from private offices, but my experience is that most doctors work for large medical groups where they do not make the technology decisions.

Take a look at Staford's Web Credibility Research. The work is a bit dated, but many of the findings are still useful.

This is what confuses me. How would I write a React based component that can manage the retrieving the data it needs and can be easily integrated into other React/Redux based applications.

For example, I wish to write a component that displays the weather for a given date and zip code. I also want to create another component that displays the local events for a given date and zip code.

I want a simple SPA app to include these two components along with a shared chooser component that allows users to select the zip code and date.

Finally, I want to share the weather and event components with other developers so they can incorporate them easily in their own React/Redux based applications.

> A 14% return on properly selected and executed rehabs is very easy to do.

This is unrealistic in the SF bay area. First time home buyers are paying top dollar for "fixer uppers" and in many cases just tearing down the existing home and replacing them with a new ones.

Good contractors have several month lead times and are being paid in excess of $300 per square foot for doing renovations.

Real estate agent commissions are three to six percent of sales price.

> When a company goes into administration the assets are sold to pay out those who hold equity in the company. They're literally owed debt.

This is incorrect. Please see the differences between equity and debt. [1]

I personally think this contributed significantly to the dot.com era growth.

Unless of course, you are trying to store the maturity date of a thirty year bond or mortgage.

"Perceived value is the worth that a product or service has in the mind of the consumer. For the most part, consumers are unaware of the true cost of production for the products they buy; instead, they simply have an internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to them." [1]

Some times you just can't sell an item for more than it costs. This is particularly true for technology companies who are pushing the envelop on the technology front. For example, the EO-444 tablet sold for $2000 in 1993.
