That's because the social networks haven't opened up the floodgates yet, they're still in data collection mode. The real revenues come when they sell your data -- when Facebook tells Miller that you are a central person in your social netwo

The t-shirt idea is really good -- the website adds a lot of value at low cost.

> apparently their financial aid isn't too good nonsense. Harvard, MIT, and Princeton have the best financial aid in the country (besides of course Olin, Cooper Union, and the military academies...)

You shouldn't degrade other people on the Internet, even if they don't have 7 figure deals to revoke.

Of course try UC Berkeley. It's a bit of a crapshoot - I know people who have gotten into MIT and rejected from Berkeley but also the other way around.

No news here. The employee did something which one of his employer's (IBS's) major customers (NBC) didn't want him to. IBS wanted to preserve the trust that NBC had in them to handle their information they way they preferred.

I lived in a building smack in the middle of San Francisco and didn't know my neighbors either. The only real difference in a city is that your neighbors are 10 feet instead of 100 feet from you.

Do people ever get the undirected urge to blog but don't know what to blog about? Usually people blog about the things they care about, and don't need suggestions.

This is more than a bad pitch. It would be low class to ridicule people with bad ideas, but people with ridiculous attitudes should be mocked.

Adult websites are made by Web entrepreneurs and hackers not too different from those who make Facebook and Myspace. I'm sure you need a different set of connections and background though.

But how does that benefit Reddit?

The behaviors that evolve for gene propagation have unintended effects outside the sphere of the mating game. Evolution is not perfect.

Fine, I'll ignore the blind market. I'm not trying to be mean but just realistic. I don't operate a government website which needs to be ADA compliant, and if screen reader software isn't where it needs to be, then maybe there is just no so

What industry are you in? If you're in banking, sure, but if you're in software I hope you clearly communicate this to interviewees.

"Ideas" are not property. You are allowed to steal them. Who makes the money depends on business savvy and luck (probably more on luck). Greenspan just comes across as bitter that the dice didn't fall his way, and that he is not being compe

Yes, but it's also a lot harder to charge money for an online business, especially a consumer-facing one. Nobody expects to get a muffin for free, but they expect Facebook to be free even if they use AdBlock.

If you're really interested in seeing the latest research, you should email relevant professors ahead of time with your bio and ask them to set you up with a graduate student to talk about what they're doing.

Well everyone knows it's a common problem, the thing is there is no solution to the problem. Everyone tries to pick their partners well, some just do it better than others.

What's wrong with that quote? That's true of many things in science; we know the existence of a relationship but not the cause. For example, charge separation between the sky and ground is a very poorly understood phenomenon, but we know th
