"The dismal stock performance probably came from the fact that when you relocate more than a couple of miles, some employees' lives would be too disrupted to make the move, so you lose a lot of employees, and all the institutional knowledge, skill, and experience that comes with those employees. While I was working at Viacom one of their companies, Blockbuster, decided to move from Florida to Texas after they hired a new CEO who lived in — Texas! What a coincidence! Only a small portion of the employees made the move. For years and years the business press watched agog as Blockbuster made mistake after inexcusable mistake, re-trying all kinds of ideas that had failed only two years earlier" - τorƍue

"I can tell you a few things that we know. Foxconn is not a sweatshop. It's a factory -- but my gosh, they have restaurants and movie theaters. But they've had some suicides and attempted suicides, and they have 400,000 people there." Wait, they have 400,000 people there? - τorƍue

That's pretty amazing! He's doing things my high school shop teacher have said never to do on a bandsaw. - April Buchheit

In a longitudinal study of 140 eighth-grade students, self-discipline measured by self-report, parent report, teacher report, and monetary choice question- nairesinthefallpredictednalgrades,schoolattendance, standardized achievement-test scores, and selection into a competitive high school program the followingspring. In a replicationwith164eighthgraders,abehavioraldelay-of- gratication task, a questionnaire on study habits, and a group-administered IQ test were added. Self-discipline measured in the fall accounted for more than twice as much variance as IQ in nal grades, high school selection, school attendance, hours spent doing homework, hours spent watching television (inversely), and the time of day students began their homework. The effect of self-disci- pline on nal grades held even when controlling for rst- marking-period grades, achievement-test scores, and measured IQ. These ndings suggest a major reason for students falling short of their intellectual potential: their failure to exercise self-discipline. - τorƍue

"However, with OpenID, all I have to do is figure out how to capture your credentials (which does not require that I compromise OpenID), and I can own everything that you own. At least with the disparate systems we have now you only get those things where I’ve been foolish enough to use the same credentials. Even then you have to figure out what those systems are. With OpenID I simply try every site that uses OpenID, trivial to do programmatically." - τorƍue

The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. - τorƍue
