It's not California, but it's nothing either.

That statement gave me pause since it's quite the unrealistic claim to make.

It was interesting work: we had data tapes shipped from CMS to us, we loaded the data into a Sybase database, and then used an analysis tool (which I can't recall the name of) to look for patterns of fraud - again, this was what now seems like a lifetime ago.

Is anyone currently working detecting Medicare and Medicaid fraud?

Or is there a better way to learn the various tools?

Edit: I have also completed some of the challenges on http://cryptopals.com/ a while back to get better with developing Python code.

Maybe we'll meet in the future, but not all developers with MBA's are that bad...

"The problem Groupon faced was that their initial success validated a model that anyone could copy, and everyone who copied it increased both Groupon’s cost of customer acquisition and its churn rate."

I appreciate more the insightful conversations than view a link to the latest JavaScript framework.

TLDR;: But in one sense, the advertising business is about as static and boring as they come. The industry has never grown in scale. Looking at data since the 1920s, the U.S. advertising industry has always been about 1 percent of U.S. GDP. It’s surprisingly consistent, mostly tracking between 1 percent and 1.4 percent—and averaging 1.29 percent.

So when you said, "...eating from the same pie", according to the linked article, they actually are.

Now? A wireless printer can be hidden in a nook and laptop makes any place a work area.

For Apple to remain relevant in the future, the company will need to attack itself. Management will need to risk its own ecosystem.

...also agree and it seems like Apple has been doing this because, as stated in the article, of the lack of attention other products (and services) have recently received.

Milk the iPhone today, and then figure out what comes next.

I agree with this and fully expect Apple to do so, but where are the novel insights (that haven't been re-hashed from other recent sources (such as Bloomberg, Six Colors, etc).

I stopped reading at this point since this will be another "Pile on the Bad News for Apple" type of hyperbole.

...and they almost made it past the Wildcard Playoff game.

Yes, good luck and good timing, but still - ha!

This is interesting, but, instead of SMS, what should be used for 2FA?

Chris White, of White Labs, wrote a great book on yeast:

In the series’ biggest twist, we discovered where the “uptick” came from—a crowded, smoky click farm in Bangladesh. The masterful sequence at the end of episode nine shows a Bangladeshi worker’s morning commute, biking his way through the crowded streets of one of the world’s poorest countries. There’s no hip music as the episode ends, just the quiet clacking of hundreds of keyboards. Is this how a bunch of coddled California techies define success?
