This video is phenomenal for anyone interested in console hacking: http://vimeo.com/18278625 . Skip to 35:00 for the most exciting part - where fail0verflow reveals the PS3's fundamental security flaw.

wouldn't that have been cool. If bitcoin mining could have been done in a way that had practical significance yet also resulted in coins?

Obviously successful startups are lucky. I think the idea of releasing quickly/efficiently is to test the market to see if a larger, more complex product is desired (IOW can you get lucky?). In the example provided, a beta release of

I imagine there's a positive correlation between 'winging it' and being a successful professional athlete - over-thinking is severely detrimental to performing under pressure.

That's exactly what an MBA does. Teaches you to prioritize effectively. It also gives you countless examples of businesses who don't, and the consequences they suffer. Sometimes learning these lessons in the real world can be v

I have an MBA and MS in CS from Arizona (who at the time was ranked top 10 in entrepreneurship). I did not have a focus in the MBA so I could do Computer Science but the entrepreneurship track sounded like a less serious/competitive Y

Would it be possible to sign employees to a contract then? Flip this on it's head. i.e. we're happy to take you on board, but you have to work here for 2 years at X rate.

I didn't read the article thoroughly, but one point to think about is patients may be more likely to visit with a particular doctor if said doctor frequently performs the surgery they believe will help them. I am the perfect example of

As someone who just had occipital nerve decompression surgery due to a whiplash injury, I can say I am very excited for self-driving cars. The amount of scar tissue the surgeon removed from those nerves was horrifying, and it was a relativ

I'll agree with you with respect to laptops. Desktops are a different story. Non-Mac desktops are much cheaper, especially if you choose to build it yourself.

plus... if you spend enough (i.e. buy new tires there once a year) you can sign up for executive membership and get your membership paid for.

I think 12k or 13k a year is realistic in America for a single person, although it would not be easy surviving on this amount (especially if one has a family). Not in NYC or San Fran, but again that's incentive to work if one wants to

Until we have an easy/efficient way of identifying such folk though (those who are truly capable vs those who are disabled/incapable) the most efficient solution is probably something like a minimum basic income.

One concern I've always had with the idea that the rich "re-invest" in the economy is how much they actually invest in American businesses vs sit on the money or invest abroad. A minimum basic income will assuredly increase

More interesting is that reduction in childhood exposure to lead is the most significant factor. Levitt counters the debunking of his theory two paragraphs down from your link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Impact_o

Traditional schools are horrific at teaching web programming languages - but I agree they should be able to pick it up quickly.

I am not an instagram user, but I would venture giving users options might be a viable alternative. Let them choose between $10 a year or different ad variants.

I'm not sure how 'in the zone' you mean, but i've done that many times (just getting up to pee, etc). I do suffer from mild-moderate OCD though so I think that's likely a symptom of it.

A couple diet strategies that have worked for me: Drink a lot of calorie free, caffeinated liquids. I probably drink more diet soda than I should, but tea and coffee are great as well and healthier I find eating small amounts of crap can a

I'm not sure I agree that STEM workers are overpaid. I mean, I make a bit more than the customer support, PMs, and sales people in our company, but I'd rather do their jobs if the pay was equal.

I'd actually prefer this. I'd rather start at $20/hr for 2 months as a temp employee than be judged on a battery of irrelevant logic questions.

On one hand I agree with you, but playing devil's advocate - isn't this a discussion board, precisely the place where people would pay attention to such things? Applying your same logic, one could say "He's just express

I'll assume you're being sarcastic with the condoning of sexual assault, however one difference is that a person who drinks a lot after being offered said drinks is complicit in their own intoxication, whereas with a date rape dru

Wow. I would never have expected that in other countries what you produce on your own time is the property of your employer. That is an absolute non-starter for entrepreneurship .
