Probably not - the trick is to get them to think of you as a person. You want to connect on a personal level. Asking for help is one of the most effective ways of 'personalizing' yourself, from what I've read (I've seen American blogs telli

I stopped going to (and failed) a CS class in college because it was boring, and I already had a job with a company who I'd worked with. That count?

There are actually 18.... I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.

Perhaps smart women are less likely to use the site than smart men. I have heard that more men than women use dating sites, so the intelligence distributions are also probably different.

Why would they correct it and say Klingon isn't an ethnicity? It pretty much is, only a fictional one.

Similar idea: http://www.bookmooch.com/ You're supposed to trade books, you use points to order books, get points by sending them, etc.

A minor correction: People know what the establishment tells them is nutritious, and then don't follow that. There is much debate over whether that is actually nutritious.

Anecdotal counterpoint: I have two buddies, aged about 25, who swear by Star Trek, especially the original series. Don't know why.

Am I the only one who finds those left-side magazine-style quotes from the article distracting? I don't think they add anything to the article.

I agree about the lack of color being a problem. In my mind, it links you with mimes and aloof Mac designers who think they're better than you. Maybe that's what you were going for, though!

Pretty cool. Seems to work awesomely. The animation when you preview a site is a bit gaudy, though.

Who says upper management has to know about it? If you know it'd make you happier, and you know you can deliver the results, you should go for it. There's always gonna be obstacles you have to overcome. Don't let them stop you.

What I learned from a Human-Computer Interaction class in college - Always think of the user. All tradeoffs should be made in favor of the user - Don't expect users to read anything; they're busy - Make it as simple as possible, but no simp

A problem with this: The majority of the death-prone population (the elderly) are not tech-savvy and thus have no (perceived) need for such a service. Call back in 25 years.

The problem is that we're not dealing with completely rational, all-knowing merchants here. We're dealing with real life, and people have other things on their minds, like the pressures of running a business. If Groupon can't explain itself

Design is all about tradeoffs, and I don't think the average flight searcher "gives a damn" about how good the logo looks.

Sounds like you really are having a tough time of it. 3 hours of commute, and you're not even excited by your job. It does sound like you need a change of pace. You should look into working from home some days - it'd probably make you much

This idea will be incredibly useful to me. Not that you can run a successful business by copying and iterating on what others have done, but that the human psyche needs an enemy for motivation. It's everywhere: people going crazy watching s

As long as each of your secure sites has encrypted the password in their database, which they damn well should be doing, an attacker wouldn't be able to benefit from any similarities because they wouldn't know what your password actually is

Can you put that in the English? I am too tired to make sense of that math. I hope you do not think I am stupid for not immediately seeing the point of many seembols.

What if you're not an entrepreneur, but you'd like to be one some day, and you're overwhelmed with the sense that you're more intelligent than the majority of the population? Should you write then?

I think this is an issue that needs to be dealt with in schools, because it's going to be VERY important by the time current kids grow up, and most of them don't know what they're doing. Here's what I do. I have two branches of passwords: o
