I think the term 'Conceptual Debt' is not helpful. The reason why 'Technical Debt' was coined was to help non technical shareholders understand that although software may work as designed to the user there may be unseen

I think the process kind of misses the whole point. Once two people have made the decision to fall in love with each other it is 'relatively' easy. The whole 'roadblocks' that are in place that this process overcomes are

The saying is dont look a gift horse in the mouth, but the way Zuckerberg is consistently lobbying and pushing for the implementation of programs under an altruistic banner that also happen to largely benefit himself is somewhat counter pro

Interesting comments... At the level of CEO and the Board there is no 'boss', there are only checks and balances.

I think thats kind of the point though... Posting whatever you want on Moz when your the founder and CEO is one thing. Posting such indepth material that casts a not necessarily positive light when you have been removed from control (perhap

Interesting... ultimately although I don't think he clearly states it... being CEO is not for most people... you can have the brains, the willpower and even be successful in the role, all while feeling horrible about it... I somewhat t

I dont know, seems kind of skimpy for qualifying someone as a CEO.

Doesnt intuitively make sense to me... adult women stopped being drawn into the computerfield at the same time that male children began getting computers as gifts? wouldnt their be a distinct lag effect of maybe 5-7 years between when the b

OK? I dont mean to be snarky but financial investment isn't necessarily the ultimate motivator for all things. Also fundamentally, we are talking rental property, rental income is a legitimate financial reason to buy rental property. S

Not really fundamentally interesting from a musical standpoint. Only 'interesting' part of it is looks funny on paper...

I think this is it I think. Just investors who made a bad investment, more or less they are just going to have to deal with it, and take their loss. Twitter doesn't have a means to increase its profitability by 500% over the next coupl

Your second sentence is not logically implied by the first sentence. It is not uncommon to have phenotypes that are expressed only rarely although the genes that code for the phenotype are widely dispersed. Many well known genetic diseases

More or less the main crux is high intelligence is just a 'normal' manifestation of regular genes. Take height as an example, most people tall or short have 'regular' genetics for their height. A bunch of different facto

This is the fundamental problem. As an engineer you have to weigh every single dependency as a cost. If you take a dependency on 200 packages, then NOTHING is going to save you long term as things break. More or Less, Joyent was mostly doin

There seems to be some cognitive dissonance going on here. Almost all the posts here are saying, to paraphrase: 'It looks like the Grid team are using templates and some algorithms to to create websites while explicitly stating they ar

hmmm wonder if this actually is beneficial to the cat in any way? The theory is the cat is more 'actualized' because he is actually hunting his food. But this doesn't smell, taste, or behave like food. Generally in animals th

I am not sure what the big deal is with this. I vaguely understand why regulators want this to be public knowledge. I have no understanding of why effort is being spent in opposing this.
