That sounds incredibly high. What site is this on?

In the latest episode of EconTalk Marc Andreesson frequently mentions that half their investments fail. The half that succeed make up for the ones that fail. Check it out here, it is awesome: http:…

Not a requirement for me at all. I use both Runkeeper and Strava (long story) and occasionally post times to social media but mostly use them for personal tracking and connecting with friends around r…

Justin Kan = 2 acquisitions in 2014. Not a bad result. Has anyone else done that?

It's impossible to have a rational argument about this because the legal justification for executing a US citizen outside of a battle zone has not been published. This is the whole basis of the a…

I pay for the service for my company. I trust my employees. I don't want them to think I'm snooping on their personal conversations between each other.

The only question I have is: how good are the emoticons on Slack.com?
comment
We trust our employees. I don't feel the need to access personal communications between employees. We also give some oef our senior guys admin access so they can manage other users - I don't…

This is an awesome piece of research - I feel your pain that you can't get it published due to the Gmail data issue!

I now have three Watsi tshirts which I guess is thanks to Teespring. I hope you guys aren't out of pocket there!

One is ebook software, the other is a performance optimization tool. You can have different products using the same name so long as they're not in the same category. So the guy who made this soft…

I asked Scott the same question on Twitter. His response:
