That’s compared to an average of five years for all age groups surveyed. You could, theoretically, spend all of eternity trying to decide whether your partner is the right partner for you.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the conference introducing a Timeline feature to the popular social network. source Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Despite a scandal-ridden year in Silicon Valley, there are still some tech workers who love where they work – and who they work for. Glassdoor, an employee review site, conducted its annual Employee’s Choice Awards, part of which includes a report on the top 100 CEOs to work for, based entirely on voluntary and anonymous employee feedback in the last year. Of those hundred, 26 of the top CEOs are specifically in tech, with 17 based in the San Francisco Bay Area. One thing to note before we jump into the list: even though last year’s list included one woman – Stitch Fix CEO Katrina Lake – this year’s list is all men. … [Read more...] about Here are the 26 top tech CEOs of 2018, according to the employees who work for them

caption “Veronica Mars” was a Kickstarter sensation. source “Veronica Mars” For many entrepreneurs, Kickstarter represents a level playing field where good ideas can find people with the cash to help make their dream a reality. Just look at the success of the legendary Potato Salad, where a guy tried to raise the funds to make, well, potato salad – and ended up raising over $55,000, throwing a potato party for charity and even publishing a cookbook loaded with 24 potato salad recipes. Indeed, without Kickstarter, we’d never have the Pebble smartwatch, highly anticipated games like “Shenmue 3,” or the “Veronica Mars” movie. But not every good idea survives contact with the real world, and we’ve seen a lot of high-profile flameouts from ambitious Kickstarter projects that just couldn’t deliver, like the “world’s thinnest watch.” And then there are weird, bad crowdfunding … [Read more...] about The 17 most successful Kickstarter projects of all time and where they are today

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, the 58-year-old from Iowa farm country who spent a record-breaking 665 days in space, retired from the space agency on Friday. “I have hit my radiation limit,” Whitson told Business Insider during a recent interview. “So not going into space with NASA anymore.” That realization is both melancholic and exciting for the biochemist, who only half-jokingly admits she’s still not sure what she’s going to do “when I grow up.” It’s an ironic statement from someone who has logged more time in space than any other American, and was the first woman to command the International Space Station. “It’s been the greatest honor to live out my lifelong dream of being a @NASA Astronaut,” Whitson wrote on Twitter Friday, announcing her retirement. To date, exploring space is an honor she shares with less than 60 women. Whitson sometimes gets tears in her eyes when she reflects on the … [Read more...] about The incredible career of NASA’s Peggy Whitson, who applied to become an astronaut 10 times before she broke the American record for space travel
