Do you have any idea of the trauma and agony the poor child must be going through? Admittedly I do not know anything more about the case other than the link, but to call her irresponsible and immature is insensitive to say the least.

Every few years, Microsoft seems to dip its toes into single-signon for its services.......only unable to make it work seamlessly and replacing it with yet another solution.

Nothing wrong with a less frition-filled work environment. But it should not be mandatory. Also real friction caused by workplace politics rarely reduces due to such events.

Good point. Another interesting datapoint would be (and this is something that only PG or other YC founders can answer) to see what is the scope of the original vision (eg - change/revolutionarize industry XYZ) of the founders and where the

To generalize what you are saying, society will always consider those things as "property" that add value. Songs, movies, software all add value (for some definition of value) to their users. If, hypothetically, all software is open source,

Yep I remember the 4th and 2 against Colts. However, that decision was more of a hit-or-miss. Think of the countless times a team has the ball with 2-3 mins to go. Three incomplete passes and a punt. The other team scores in the last 2 mins

That's one of the surprises in NFL. If you read Gregg Easterbrook (Tuesday morning quarterback on espn), he frequently points out stastically obvious plays that coaches should have called, but they dont! It is hard to believe that NFL head

In addition, its also possible that the NFL does not want the best possible and perfect game. The unpredictability and human element makes for more exciting games. That's one of the reasons why they too so much time to make video replays st

The question is, how do you calculate income? What deductions are you allowed? A regular income-earning individual cannot take more than a fixed amount of deductions (in the sense his tax rate is fixed). However, a small business owner or s

The title itself is really bad - trial and error is the only way science works. You observe a cause and an effect, propose a theory, and tweak it based on more causes/effects. There are very few instances in the history of science where som
