The SEO on “snorkel” is truly terrible but if you include “AI” or “ml” or “Stanford” you’ll find it.

Your psychological profile of the ideal male is every bit as critical and unforgiving as the way men view women physically. Health is defined in terms of a population, not an ideal. Ideally nobody would get angry. Ideally nobody would yell. Yelling once in a four year relationship is not a deal breaker unless you're a cold, unfeeling person with little attachment to your partner.

I'm not saying it is ok to take it out on her. I'm not saying it's ok to interrupt a work call.

All I'm saying is she should have a little bit more understanding that everyone being imperfect - they sometimes take their anger out on their partner, the bad ones not once but daily, and she likely has no idea the gamut of emotions your average viable partner male experiences during a failed construction project. This isn't a defect worth dropping him over, it's how normal healthy men are in our culture. Yes, it would be better if that weren't the case. But it doesn't make him defective.

He was wrong to take it out on her but I don't know of any relationships where a man fails at a renovation task and something like this doesn't happen. It isn't worth breaking up over. Have a conversation.

I can't believe how hard people are being about the guy that flipped out while doing a home renovation project. Construction is fucking maddening. People that do it professionally even flip out sometimes. Doing it as an amateur without skills is one of the most damning things you can do. His flipping out is normal for an unskilled male doing construction. Commonplace. If he apologizes there is no reason to think that any other situation would cause this after four years in a relationship. For fuck's sakes people... men. Avoid home renovation projects and you're golden.

Fighter aircraft have to be aerodynamically unstable to do their job. Passenger aircraft have to be aerodynamically stable to do their job. It has always been so. Until now.

This would be much better if you included a real example - filling in the values for the addresses and ports.

Can you share more about your custom clothing from China? I think a lot of people would like to do that.

Thanks for sharing. NodeXL is great. I'm on a mac, so I use Gephi, but NodeXL is a great choice too!

As frivolous as consumer Internet is, they're pioneering the big data infrastructure of tomorrow's non-bullshit venture. Few will argue that Yahoo has innovated in many ways in the last five years... and yet it did spin out Hadoop, which Facebook and others continue to develop. Hadoop is enabling all kinds of serious opportunities to break new ground doing solid science, research and development.

There's a good video somewhere of Ron Conway saying a startup CEO they fund should never make more than $100K.

Seed funding should be like a home loan or a credit card, minus the cut throat rate of interest.

You need to be at the center of things for your interests, where you will learn the most. It's up to you to decide where that is, but anyone saying otherwise is selling you something.

All the major startup clusters were heavily funded by the state. You can't compete without major stimulus.

If Georgia threw billions at the clusters it has, and at its emerging clusters, much could be achieved in a decade. Political reality makes this unlikely.

The worst part is that TAG and the metro chambers supported the bill. They're telling startups to leave town.

The paper is 'Covenants not to Compete, Labor Mobility, and Industry Dynamics' which outlines the failure of measures that strengthen non-competes to stimulate economies, and how CA2870 let CA beat the pants of off MA.
