Cover letters are for bureaucrats in government offices or companies with HR departments.

Startups may evolve into Microsofts; but, for the time being, they'll be oriented very differently. Either they'll be dreaming about future success while staring at the ceiling or else they'll be working 25 hours per day to connect the dots.

The first kind of entrepreneur might like cover letters, and that project will generate lots of mission statements, business plans, and little else. But the practical entrepreneur with a chance of success will look at a cover later impatiently and maybe throw out your application because it doesn't get to the point.

If you must write a cover letter, make it a list of the work you'll deliver and the date you'll deliver it.

silicon valley isn't just holding measles parties, they're bringing the parties to you

quote:

BART measles alert: LinkedIn worker rode in rush hour

Health officials issued a sweeping alert to BART riders Wednesday after a LinkedIn employee with measles commuted in and out of San Francisco last week and potentially exposed thousands of people to the virus.

The risk to individuals is slim because most people in the U.S. are vaccinated, and the vaccine is 95 to 99 percent effective, public health experts said. Officials nonetheless urged anyone who believes they have symptoms to contact a doctor immediately.

The person, an unnamed Contra Costa County resident, rode BART to and from the LinkedIn offices in San Francisco on Feb. 4-6. BART will not attempt to contact everyone who may have been on trains those days, but health officials are trying to reach anyone they know had direct contact with the sick person.

The passenger, who is an employee at the professional social networking site, was confirmed this week as the first measles case in Contra Costa since the start of an outbreak tied to a December guest at the Disney theme parks in Southern California. How the Contra Costa resident contracted measles is not yet known.

LinkedIn officials said they were notified Tuesday that one of their workers was sick with measles, and the company sent a message to all employees that day, advising them about possible exposure.

The person reported traveling between the Lafayette BART Station and the Montgomery Street Station in downtown San Francisco from about 6 to 8 a.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. last week. BART officials estimated that as many as 25,000 people rode trains on the Pittsburg-Bay Point route during each of those periods.

do you disagree with:
When a decision by a fiduciary of an “employee stock ownership plan” (ESOP) to buy or hold the employer’s stock is challenged in court, the fiduciary is not entitled to a “presumption of prudence.” Instead, ESOP fiduciaries are subject to the same duty of prudence that applies to Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciaries in general, except that they need not diversify the fund's assets.

The police generally may not, without a warrant, search digital information on a cellphone seized from an individual who has been arrested.

All aspects of a district court's exceptional-case determination under 35 U.S.C. § 285, which allows an award of attorney’s fees to the prevailing party in patent litigation in “exceptional cases,” should be reviewed for abuse of discretion.
