I would argue that dodgeball is better expressed as an iterative algorithm. Consider the following pseudocode: def dodgeball(players, balls) until players.all? { |p| p.is_hit? } throw(nearest_ball(balls), nearest_player(player

I disagree with your assertion that "American society is built to tear people down." In my experience, american society is built to reward entrepreneurship and creativity. For education, we have free schooling for the first 18 years of life

I bought a sunrise alarm clock [1] to do something similar to this. It's not nearly as fancy as rjd's setup, but it works really well for me. I put blackout curtains on the windows in my room. I usually wake up at 7, so I'll set the clock t

From their blog ( http://planered.tumblr.com/ ): We’d like to get subscriptions down to $150 a month. In fact, we’re guaranteeing that rate to some early subscribers, and the top PlaneRed.com referrers. But, if at that rate we just can’t p

As it stands, I'm not sure this service is useful. I wanted to check out the space available in Boston, but according to their FAQ: For now, the only way to receive time credit in order to book desks in the Kodesk network is by sharing you

You can synthesize more than 2lbs of muscle per month, if the muscle you're synthesizing has been in a trained state previously. This is how athletes can return from injury in a few weeks. It's also how most before/after shots for health pr

I'm apprehensive about Tim Ferriss. I've read 4HWW, and found it to have some good advice, as well a a significant amount of fluff. The announcement of "The 4-Hour Body", with lists like this on the book, have only increased my skepticism a

I think this article shows how removed a lot of journalists and media are from the technology scene. They completely ignore the growing startup scene in New York - Silicon Alley, Digital Dumbo[1] - and latch on instead to a story about a hu

The main complaint I have, and this is extremely vague, is that the design looks "amateur". It's minimalistic, but not because you've deliberately chosen to make it so, but rather, because you don't know what else to put on the page. What I

It's an interesting idea for a site, and, as a climber myself, I love seeing more of the climbing community brought online. My main criticism is the design. It leaves much to be desired, and as a result I can't seem myself using this much r

I really like how the Boxee Box team approached the "simple remote vs. youtube searching" problem. Their remote has two sides. On the top is a four-way directional pad, a select, and a menu/back button. On the bottom is a full, cell-phone s

Vistaprint was 250 cards for $24.25, for a per-card price of $0.097. Overnight was 25 cards for $8.81, for a per-card price of $0.352. On a per-card basis, Overnight is 3.6x as expensive as Vistaprint.

You could send a check instead, payable to CASH. Although, your bank might get suspicious if hundreds of people start cashing small checks against your account.

One queue adds an overhead for the time it takes for the person at the front of the queue to notice a cashier is free and walk to that cashier. I have watched this system in action at the Post Office, Rail stations, and one supermarket and

More than anything else, I think this article shows how common sense is forgotten in most organizations, and especially in large organizations. The idea that people like to be productive and hit the ground running on their first day is not

I'm in college now, and had an internship with a company in California last summer where HR did the exact same thing. Apparently, it's California law that hourly employees can only work 8 hours per day, and anything over 8 hours in a 24 hou

Just get a cheap VPS (Virtual Private Server) and install your choice of linux on it. A good VPS host is http://www.linode.com/ . I'm a college student, so I move every six months, so I'm in a similar position as you. A VPS allows me to ha
