Did you feel there was actually any benefit between your day to day life? I'd suppose that the benefit would be different person to person due to what they do in their average day but am still curious.

Only if you want to be the best, if you want to be really good at something that 7% is irrelevant, and a lot of the top results aren't just created by the best.

My understanding is that it isn't necessarily moving faster but is cheating by moving through a dimension that we can't even draw.

Yeah, I can understand the need to crackdown with a team and get them on the move but the dude's ego just shines out of his asshole. The dude needs to realize the difference between cracking down and being pretentious; felt like I was readi

I agree that social media such as Twitter can be used to evaluate the general mood of locations, but it still won't allow an all seeing eye effect. Probabilities aren't absolutes. I felt like Naquin was circle jerking with what he was doing

Actually, absolute truth is just as dangerous (and perhaps even more dangerous) as (non-extreme) relativism. Someone with a relativistic view isn't necessarily passive either, they just try to be more observant, understanding, and compassio

Most of the information seems to be stuck in books and harder to find on the internet, I looked for a really long time and that was the best resource I've found so far. It's very possible it's relative to other schooling models.

If all the engineers start startups then no one can fill the spots required to run the startups because they all have their own startups, dawg.

He didn't make that comparison, but even if he did that would be totally irrelevant because the value of what is art changes with person to person, and you've already lost if you try to debate against what someone values as art.

In that case it's bad to call someone childish because some of the best features of humans are only apparent for most people when they are children and not adults, but that isn't the point of what was said. The point was that it is short-si

No, the analogy is perfect for what happened, and a killer comeback on Gate's part. I don't think Steve appreciated competition and tried to kill it with a shotgun instead of a better product, this is very evident with the attack on Android

I totally disagree about how music is devalued and I share Trent Reznor's belief that paying what you want devalues music, whereas giving it away doesn't. I'm going to give you a quote from him instead of explaining it because my opinion li

My school has teachers in their office for most of the week willing to help you out with all the problems you have, and it certainly helps but it isn't enough to fix everything (15% of students who start the program I was in end up graduati

Some teachers don't even try, my Grade 11 Principles of Math teacher just took us on field trips to the park every day instead of teaching because she didn't have enough balls to say no to the kids who asked if we could go to the park. It m

Naquin is just circle jerking. I very highly doubt they knew exactly what was going to happen in Egypt, and their ability to see the future is more of a hindsight bias than anything. I believe this will become more evident as more serious e

I may be biased, but I actually prefer the most elusive 4th year labs being done in 1st year, as the projects to be built are much more easier and it is way more rewarding when a teacher hands you a specification sheet and tells you how to

If Jobs' success was based off of a calligraphy class then everyone who took calligraphy classes would be wildly successful, I should be wildly successful! I guarantee you that if everyone had science/engineering degrees, Netflix would stil

Haptic feedback is not a poor substitute for feeling a button depress, it's just the current reality of having a phone with a large touchscreen. You have the choice between a (relatively) much larger screen (with option of haptic feedback),

Apparently not, but I also see lifetime use of heroin also nearly doubled due to legalization, and there is still question on what effects were caused by the legalization and what effects weren't.

Alcohol is a very strong depressant too, and most of the heroin deaths aren't from people robbing houses that are empty while they are in withdrawal due to lack of money to buy heroin. Heroin (and alcohol) also cause psychosis, which is pro

Obviously the one that is more of a widespread issue. Obesity costs more money to deal with because there are infinitely more obese people in the world than there are who are addicted to heroin. Fast food is legalized which means criminal o

Ahh yes I was thinking of Apogee Electronics, thank you that clears things up.

Can you elaborate on why you think of Apogee? When I think of Apogee I think "Gee, I wish my Apogee product worked on Windows"

I don't know what school you went to, but the engineering school I went to put more of a focus on problem solving using relevant technology and as a result I know how to do very intense research, strategy building, and analysis from the con

You get the same interactions and knowledge with any degree at a decent enough school. Your promotions don't speak so much about your education but more so about you as a person.

I think the intention was for people who needed to draw things, like architects, electrical/mechanical engineers, artists. I nearly die over the fact that there is no awesome tablet that explicitly supports styluses and uses them in some ne
