It seems many categories on Amazon are overwhelmed by low quality products and unreliable reviews. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't done more to counter this, as it affects the trust people have in the site. For example, Amazon could c

Once reason it was initially locked away was that it contained heresies, e.g. he denied the Christian Trinity. After that people forgot about it, it's hard to go through so many papers...

Instead of a wealth tax, maybe just increase the capital gains tax rate for the ultra-wealthy? Seems a lot more straightforward.

Do they verify the information, couldn't someone use a pseudonym? (Though then your relatives who take the test might be surprised by the new relative they discover..)

It's understandable to want your own domain and control of your site. Wordpress is a good option but a self-hosted installation is not as reliable as using something like Blogger. With proper caching it should be able to handle a large

Nice post, I think it can be more difficult for less-experienced (but talented) people to find jobs than it should be. However in some ways the FAANG companies are better in this regard since they hire many people out of college and strive

For future career prospects, a stint at FAANGM is a safer bet than joining a small startup. Most startups fail and it may not easy to find another job right away. If you're at a big tech company, you'll have the credential to find

I don't fully understand why there isn't a standard test or the like for vetting programmers. Most companies ask similar types of interview questions, so it seems one place could do it for a job seeker and give them a grade.

Simplenote is decent for just quick note taking on a phone or computer browser with a sync that usually works. Onenote is good if you like organizing your notes hierarchically into notebooks, tabs, etc. They have apps for the different OS&#

Another way would be to make the the lock a large rotating latch that was connected mechanically to a similar latch on the other side. While this would be more complex, it wouldn't get in the way as much.

Facebook spent close to $22B on WhatsApp in total so they can't just keep it forever as a zero-revenue messaging service. Either they'll put ads in it or they'll try to tack on other services, like WeChat does.

I meant the expectation of how much to sleep. It's often claimed that in the past people slept much more, but hunter gatherers actually sleep on average 6.5 hours a night. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170
