I love it! And I love the guessing game with the age of the submitter, I only wish the server wasn't getting slammed 'cause it takes too long to get the response. So far I'm 6 votes in with 3.7 years avg difference so far, it's a pretty gre

Disappointing to see that these don't work (seemingly at all, for me) on the iPad.

Ha, I almost posted this about the same time you did- I got to this page earlier today when I was led on a hunt started from a post on HN about hiring- I wanted to know about hiring CS students as they were undergrads and this post was in g

Uh.. In order for them to save your highlights and transfer them between devices, it needs to be put into their servers somewhere. Maybe it's a little creepy they admit to 'snooping' it, but then again they're being honest and open about it

Because Facebook is pulling a bait and switch. The vast majority of users (debatably all, outside of the ones that signed up since this went into effect) signed up for Facebook under the pretenses they had control over their privacy. To va

Part of the problem with the mortgage bubble though was that no one (other than a very select few, that were shorting them by buying CDSes) really knew what was in all the mortgage bond derivatives, especially once they got put into CDSes a

I would guess a lot, too- because human beings are by nature hypocrites.

It's confusing to a non-techie because they don't realize that the most battery draining activity is using the wireless radio- streaming from Pandora (or anywhere) will kill your battery far faster than listening to MP3s in the iPod softwar

That would indeed be tough, considering there are only 48 games in the first 2 rounds.

And President Obama has been all over ESPN with his stupid bracket selections (which serve no purpose outside of a pool). IANAL, but it's my understanding that pools are only illegal when the organizer of the pool is taking a cut. I guess

I then went on to show that the TSA doesn't exactly screen their employees that well- how are we to know whether or not all the employees monitoring these things won't be sexually aroused by child pornography? Seems like it should be a pret

It has the potential for sexual excitement which is all that really matters. The images are there and can potentially be copied by someone that does have intention of using them for sexual excitement. Unless you've been living under a roc

"Pornography or porn is the portrayal of explicit sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement." [1] Doctors don't take photos (or other media) of naked children, so there is no pornography involved. Obviously if they do tak

Yay for anecdotal evidence! The people I know eat (for the most part) quite healthy, don't drink any soda, don't eat junk food, etc. As was mentioned by someone else, if the average American ate 3800 calories a day they would continually g

The study quoted in that post is completely flawed, as people mention in the comments. It isn't a study of how much is actually consumed by Americans, it's a study of how much food is produced in America, factoring in imports/exports, and

Not to mention the cost of living in addition to law school itself. And don't forget a lot of the top law schools (you did go to a top law school to "guarantee" a top salary (or you know, a job ) when you got out, right?) aren't exactly

My point was, you know, sort of tongue-in-cheek... Of course demand can't be unlimited, but you're just further proving my point- corporations will produce and produce and produce far beyond the actual demand, because we aren't living in an

by WarDekar 17y ago
Demand may not be unlimited, but mass-(over)production sure tries to make it so. It's easy to artificially create demand that wouldn't have otherwise been there in a free(thinking) market.

Because engineers don't go to an extra 3-4 years of school and go into 200k of debt to get there. Someone has to prop up the "higher" education system.

Is there a list of ones they plan on posting? I was under the impression they were only posting 1 every weekday, and so far the only 2 up (at least on the official site) are Blaise Aguera y Arcas on Augmented Reality and Jamie Oliver's wis
