We already have free primary and secondary education. Perhaps we should be asking how we can improve those institutions so people don't feel compelled to pursue post-secondary studies for career tracks that could be addressed by those

Let's say that you are pricing products and a competitor is charging $19.99. You know that one cent is not going to change the purchasing decision of potential customers. If it did, you would simply price your product at $19.98 (and ma

Something to keep in mind is the tactic is very old. Baby boomers were telling their children of this tactic. It is likely that boomers learned of it through their parents.

There will be some, either due to their current contributions or decisions they make later in life. It is just hard to see that in the present since news tends to (and has always tended to) focus upon controversy.

I once knew a couple, the man was a teacher and the woman a scientist. He could work virtually anywhere in the world. In any country. In anything from a tiny isolated town to a megalopolis. Her career would ultimately lead her to one of a h

There has been a lot of focus on the religion angle in the comments thus far. I think those are looking at Abby's story the wrong way. First and foremost, Abby told her own story. She could have told a more abstract tale, by focusing u

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that behavioural approaches should be tried first. On the other hand, framing the failure of behavioural approaches being the result of not making a genuine attempt is harmful. It may dissuade them from

It depends upon how you look at it. Something like the Raspberry Pi is considerably more expensive. On the other hand, they started with a very low performance and weak feature set and have evolved into a product with good performance and a

The difference is in who they are selling the product to. The iPhone has a very broad audience, some of whom may want to do photography with very little understanding of the field. They see the product. They see the results. They don't

They also mentioned a lack of distractions, allowing them to grow their attention and focus. I'm pretty sure all of those will affect one's memory. Sometimes the wonders of modern computers are as much of a trap as they are benefi

I would be surprised if there is a lack of regulation. To give you an example from my country, the government has trademarks that identify government agencies. That includes the Canada workmark (with the flag over the final "a") a

The article may be talking about the former, but plenty of people will read it as the latter. (Though perhaps not to that extreme.) I would certainly consider a well designed but feature incomplete product as perfect and good enough. Chasin

I suspect a few things are going on here. This is not exactly a new phenomena. People have been complaining about software bloat since at least the mid-1990's. I suspect someone older than myself would gleefully explain that the compla

There are other differences. The garbage being discussed was sorted, baled, and shipped to markets with the pretense that it was going the be recycled or reused. (To be fair, a fraction of it was.) It diverted garbage away from our landfill

I am fairly certain that most, if not all, mass market ebooks use DRM tied to the software. If the servers go, the books will be fine for as long as the software continues to work. There are also authors and publishers who offer books witho

Given that exposure to `goto` is going to be minimal born most developers born after 1980's, the use of `goto` is likely to appear more convoluted. At any rate, the greatest danger in this case lies in the code duplication. If performa

A personal site should be personal, in the sense that the things you share are things you value and the only value derived from it is from sharing what you value with other. That's why personal sites are the ones that are easy to tell

You forgot the Windows 3.x era, where up-time was often measured in hours. From my recollections, early Windows 95 was not much better. Of course, Windows 9x and earlier were single user operating systems with no security to speak of. Organ

The tricky part is determining how long software should be supported for, at least with respect to security updates. I'm sure that most people would agree that 5 years is insufficient. Twenty five years, many would say is too long. As
