It's also the default search engine on Safari in iOS, so I'm not sure there's a point to be made here.

The article specifically addresses the plight of long-haul truckers. I don't think anybody has said freight could be delivered effectively without any trucks at all.

I'm curious to know what kind of data Twitter has that is that valuable. Just because you have a lot of data doesn't mean it's that valuable. I used to analyze direct marketing campaigns for a major big-box retailer. They had literally bi

I know people who, if they were for example taking a long cross-country trip, would split up gas, hotels, meals, etc., down to the penny. I even heard of somebody who hounded one of his friends for $1.72 after the trip was over. This app s

What you are referring to is mostly unskilled labor. Mr. Rowe was specifically talking about work that cannot be outsourced - welders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters.

Agreed. I don't think there are any meaningful conclusions that can be drawn from that graph as it is.

Yes, you and everybody else in the world. You are not a snowflake unique among snowflakes in this regard. As an employer, this is not a good enough reason for me to just hand you a remote job. But what's important is that as someone hiring

"I am looking for a Full Time Remote Job to satisfy my needs and wants." Why remote? You do not address that anywhere else on your page. Why would you be more effective working remotely? My first impression when people say they want to work

About a month ago I was doing some nonprofit work for a local youth organization, and was working with a 16 year old who was already taking college level pre-med classes. He explained that he was going to be either a doctor or an engineer

That students aren't willing to put in work sounds like a failing of the students, not of the videos.

I don't have a great understanding of relativity, but doesn't general relativity state that things happen relative to the observer's frame of reference. So, in fact, this event did occur either 2 weeks or 4 billion years ago, or anywhere in

From my experience, there has never been any confusion about which country I am from when I tell a non US citizen that I am "American". I have also never, in actual conversation, heard somebody refer to the totality of western hemisphere la

No, it's not always pleasant. I admit that. But you know what's less pleasant? Twitter shutting down because they can't pay the server bills. The relevant economic concept here is opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of Twitter not show

That would be really annoying if my friend and I weren't talking about Coke. But if we are talking about Coke, then I don't mind a stranger chiming in with "Hey, since you're talking about Coke, here's something you might like", as long as

Considering Twitter isn't turning a profit yet, I'm not so sure that "the next Twitter" is such a great thing to invest in.

The socks idea is interesting, but the blurb says the company estimates it will save the average customer 12 hours a year buying socks. Really? 12 hours per year?

This serves as a great reminder that great software is about a lot more than great code. For the most part, this sounds like a large but basic CRUD app, which is basically a solved problem from a technical point of view. Most of the key de

A quarter of the country also believes Obama is not a US citizen. Whether the general public believes something or not has does not make it true or untrue.

The one thing I found missing from the pitch: Is it effective? Of course that's implied in any marketing, but I thought the specifics were a bit fuzzy; just some vague statements about moving around and tracking using the accelerometer.

There are plenty of power plants presently operating quite safely under the current regulatory scheme. Can you point to any specific concerns you have, or is this just FUD?

I suspect there's a high degree of self-selection bias involved in the success or failure of a charter school. That is, charter schools that do well do so because they are full of motivated students. It would be interesting to see any resea

President is the only office where the votes are cast by who wins the entire state. It's called the Electoral College, and it's constitutionally required. However, it's not constitutionally mandated that the winner of the state gets all t
