Chris Hadfield: What I learned from going blind in space

Product management best practices This video is only for employees of GV portfolio companies. Sign in The most requested topic for a Startup Lab workshop this year is product management. Several of you asked that we dive into best practices for defining a product, clearly communicating with engineering, balancing feature requests with bug reports, and measuring success (or failure) individual features. Whether you have a dedicated product team, you’re a CEO who is responsible for owning product, or you’re part of the engineering team trying to work with your PM counterparts, it’s clear that many of you want to hear from a PM who’s figured this out. Google Drive PM Scott Johnston is going to join us in what promises to be a highly engaging workshop.

What are you revealing online? Much more than you think What can be guessed about you from your online behavior? Two computer privacy experts — economist Alessandro Acquisti and computer scientist Jennifer Golbeck — on how little we know about how much others know. The best indicator of high intelligence on Facebook is apparently liking a page for curly fries. At least, that’s according to computer scientist Jennifer Golbeck (TED Talk: The curly fry conundrum), whose job is to figure out what we reveal about ourselves through what we say — and don’t say — online. Of course, the lines between online and “real” are increasingly blurred, but as Golbeck and privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti (TED Talk: Why privacy matters) both agree, that’s no reason to stop paying attention. I hear so much conflicting information about what I should and shouldn’t be posting online. Alessandro Acquisti: My personal view is that individual responsibility is important, but we are at a stage where it is not sufficient. Jennifer Golbeck: I agree with that.

Product manager meetup in San Francisco Google Ventures and Greylock Partners invited more than 250 product managers to the top floor of Google’s San Francisco office to meet and learn from one another. We also held a conversation with a panel of founders, CEOs, VCs, and execs who started their careers in product management: Josh Elman (General Partner, Greylock), Adam Nash (COO, Wealthfront), Johanna Wright (VP Product Management, Google) and Craig Walker (CEO & Founder, Firespotter Labs). Charming talks for a boost on a bad day | Playlist Now playing All under the age of 16, brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are from New Jersey, a US state that's better known for the rock of Bruce Springsteen than the bluegrass of Earl Scruggs. Nonetheless, the siblings began performing bluegrass covers, as well as their own compositions, at a young age. Here, they play three dazzling songs in three different keys, passing the lead back and forth from fiddle to banjo to guitar.

DOGMACERO DIGITAL 2014 La idea de publicar una revista que se hiciera eco de las cada vez más numerosas posiciones alternativas a ese pensamiento único que invade nuestra sociedad se empezó a gestar hace muchos años. Entre otras cosas, queríamos acercar a todos la ingente obra (en cantidad y en calidad) de los autores anglosajones, cuyo trabajo no llegaba al conocimiento de muchos dada la barrera que representaba el idioma. Al principio fue un proyecto que parecía condenado, en el mejor de los casos, a convertirse en un boletín impreso distribuido entre aquellos conocidos que compartían esa visión crítica y alternativa del mundo y de la sociedad. En aquel tiempo, Internet apenas daba sus primeros pasos y quienes accediamos a la red lo hacíamos a través de unos “cacharros” que “negociaban” su conexión de forma alarmantemente ruidosa. Pasaron los años y las prioridades del devenir diario nos llevaron por otros derroteros, pero la idea, el proyecto y la ilusión, seguían ahí. Contenido Editorial
