Couldn't I make the same argument for choosing another precious metal other than gold and convincing the world treat that as money. It seems to me that the only argument against it is that historically it hasn't happened. (except for ciga

Saying it is just a ruse for inflation is not being honest. Many, though not all, economists believe that deflation causes money to be more valuable tomorrow than today, which leads to over saving which leads to unnaturally low demand. It

I got caught up in that sort of identity thinking about the time I was getting out of high school but thankfully realized how wrong it was a few years ago. I think that was probably one of the damaging ideas that ever got in my brain. I'm

The most common I have seen is to obsess over code as an ends in itself. Writing pretty code when the solution doesn't really require it. The other is premature optimization, where all code must be fast, regardless of whether the problem

I still don't get this. What does my social circle have to do with my Google searches. I am friends with lots of people who I don't trust to influence my search results. The Hunch approach makes a lot more sense where it uses recommendat

I don't think anyone knew the name Cathy Cruz Marrero before she filed a lawsuit and put it on the public record. We've all done stupid things, and I'm glad mine weren't captured on video, but I'm pretty sure she handled it as poorly as po

I get that making it easier to file complaints can be bad, but there seems to be a software solution here. Things like prioritizing the work orders from tenants that seldom file complaints, or use the work order history to calculate to tot

Even without growing the number of users they have, they can certainly raise their revenue per user, which is the big question as far as I can tell.

The article talks about 100,000 negatives laying around. This was years of work and probably a daily activity. Hardly qualifies as "inherent".

This is very surprising to me. When the home sales market drops, more people rent out their old home instead of selling it at a loss, hoping that the prices will rise soon. This causes the rent prices to drop. This is what I saw a few mo

What I really want is to get the data from the server and compare the poll response with the actual number for each user. As in, "you reported that you check 1-5 times, but you average 12.7 on work days."

I sure hope not. Most responses seemed to disagree and even technomancy wasn't happy with the characterization of his part. If you take every criticism personally instead of looking at the whole, it's a recipe for being miserable.

Which is really just another form of the quote "know everything about something and something about everything."

The first example is one of personal privacy, I think the other two are legitimate examples.

I disagree. The press had largely made the story about Wikileaks, Manning, and the tabloid gossip comments about foreign leaders, but if you go look at the contents of the cables, there are some serious issues. The biggest to me is about

This is something on my list to add to my site, so I think the idea is viable, but I thought this already existed. Perhaps I am wrong about that. I'm not sure how much I would pay for this, but I don't think it would be a lot.

"isn't it a fundamental right to join whatever organisation you wish, not just the ones the government likes?" I agree with you on this, but unions gain power from pro-union laws that enforce things like not allowing hiring non-union worker

You can't get rid of the constitution just because you won an election. That is why it's the constitution. Unreasonable search is a constitutional issue, not a normal policy issue.

This is the basis for my new bubble investment strategy. You wait until you start reading articles about how X is going to go up forever, then you want 3 months, and short X. They said the same thing about housing prices.

I really like the product. I currently use Things for my GTD, so it would be competing with that. I would have to have an iPhone app version to make the switch. The UI also lends itself to a useful project management tool, which I always

Python is very accessible to casual programmers, so this might be one of the reasons it has been adopted by the scientific community.

There is a trade off in this sort of policy. Prohibition leads to organized crime and violence in the black market. It also leads users into a world surrounded by crime and illegality and makes it harder to deal with addiction. On the ot

The pigs made me laugh. I don't know much about minecraft, but I wonder if the pigs can foul up the circuitry. You don't get the right answer so you have to go clear the pigs out of the pathways. It's like the original legend about how s

The rejection of the Google voice application is the primary reason I have not upgraded to iPhone4 and was instead planning on switching to Android when my contract was up. I always felt they had the right to reject the app but for me, it

That is the way it should work at least. This gives credence to the companies defense that they did it to allow cross company cooperation without poaching. But do all of these companies really have engineers meeting and working on the sam

Apple has many core competencies other than software, including hardware design, marketing, and retail. But the common theme I see between them is that they refuse to do things the way everyone else does, and that they hire the best and br
