I don't know how recently you've been a college student, but Facebook still offers a large ammount of value to that demographic. I would hate to make 100+ phone calls to invite people to a party, or to spend the money/time making and postin

The itch you're trying to scratch is an itchy one for me as well. I'd really like an online service that could merge my note taking habits on my computer seamlessly with my note taking habits on my phone. However, for an app that's purporte

Display adds have definitely made an impression on me. But, for whatever reason, I tend not to click on the adds, but to open a new tab and google the product. I'd click on them if doing so did that process for me. I.e. "Click here to googl

This has been a long time coming. Not being able to use Python3.x for web development was a large barrier for me switching completely. Now Python3.x just needs to be the default for more linux distros.

As a soon to be grad, I'd love to work for a startup when I get out of school. However, I would need enough money to live, and to make payments on my student loans. Can these be reconciled? Will I need to find a startup that already has som

The main point of this article is that it's possible to do the filtering without having a single social network. "Yes, it is possible. Each of these services has an API, and I have to authorize them against each other anyway. So could these

If you click vote without selecting any of the options, it looks like it's processing your vote, but never does anything. There should probably be some message telling you to choose something, rather than make you think that there's somethi

"You're smart." It took me five years of coasting on that presumption before I realized that being "smart" isn't nearly enough. I'm still working (after a few more years) to develop the habits that would have come from hearing "you're a har

Kind of unrelated, but when he says it's a living document, he means it. I just watched him add a few bullet points and notes in real time. Google docs is pretty cool like that.

This makes me think that Diaspora needs to be (or at least be moving towards) a "social protocol" like SMTP. Since something like this doesn't already exist, having a small user base may be helpful in providing feedback to developing one.

Funny that this doesn't work even a little bit with Conkeror (Web browser with emacs keybindings). Pretty sweet otherwise.

Knowing the custodian's name has never gotten me a point on a quiz. However, last year my custodian was swamped with the task of cleaning 7 dorm buildings. Since I knew him by name, and took the 30 seconds to say hello or thank him when our

While I don't know anything about setting up an internship program, I just came out of an ideal internship, and I can tell you what made it incredibly interesting for me. 1) The company didn't have my project set in stone before I got there

Have you read the following article? http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25665/?ref=rss It (partly) fills in the other half of the free will theorem by Conway and Kochen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem ) which st

I may be wrong, but it seems like the idea is to be a group against special interest groups. That is, to monitor the pieces of legislation that could be pushed through by a small but passionate minority, that could potentially be detrimenta

I can't help but notice that the graph in this article seems to have an obvious equilibrium point. I think it best describes the issue. There is a balance between capability and usability that maximizes desireablity. And, if you can shift t

And yet, this is phrased to suggest we've made a mistake, and we should be fearful of its consequences. I guess he's speaking to educated people :).

I remember in fifth grade we were learning to multiply 3 digit by 3 digit numbers. My teacher wrote two 3 digit numbers on the board and I immediately blurted out the answer. He looked down at his notes, and just looked back at me, I had be
