A bit underwhelming, the real fun of drum machines is adjusting the knobs- and I see no knobs.

He missed the absolute most important aspect of teaching: communication skills. The great teachers I have had have all been able to explain their material clearly, and have been able to tell when students understood vs when they needed to

God I hate the second type. The second type is the type that attempts to turn every class into an orgy of pure memorization, trying to shoehorn every type of problem into a rote formula, while avoiding anything resembling understanding of t

Was a bit disappointed, I expected some actual application of the algebraic theory here.

We should've realized there was a problem when low income workers making below the poverty line became the hot new commodity in finance. Whereas in the 80s, young men in finance spent hours calling rich people insisting they give them mone

Great article, not sure about the title though. A classic story of Wall Street channeling money from rich idiots to smart young people though.

New title: How (not) to make hackers want to work for you: 1. Offer below market rates. 2. Be extremely vague about option plan. 3. Show a history of verbal abuse towards previous applicants.

I don't think ANYONE who is knowledgeable about the actual implementation of this thinks its a good idea. Possible comedic exception of consulting companies getting paid to complete the projects.

What exactly happened to circuit city anyway? Were they over leveraged? Holding auction rate securities as cash equivalents? Or have they just not been selling much for a long time?

Pretty cool business idea, your solving a real problem in a way that generates actual revenue. Also, since your already writing software to process pdf data, you might want to leverage that to start a side business providing spreadsheet inf

The reason republicans so frequently tout this line is because they fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of education. Newt and company believe that education is essentially career training, and as such cannot fathom why kids need to be
