I like reading people write about how people shouldn't write insignificant shit. While I agree with him, it's always slightly ironic.

Looks like they're finally putting the Simplify Media technology to use. That was my favorite app on iPhone and I used it at work constantly too.

I disagree... I love them both. Everyone knows HAML has a weakness - inline markup - but it's meant more for templates than anything. I typically make my templates with HAML and use erb for the more advanced views. That being said, I rar

Ahh, haha. I see. I've watched certain movies and shows that I found profound without tripping (surprisingly the most profound thing I've watched is the Futurama episode, Godfellas). I've done many many artistic things, drawing, painting

Nothing major... About a dozen different strains of magic mushroom, lsd, pot a few times, and opium once. I don't smoke hardly ever, but I do try to trip a few times a year.

I'm not saying they didn't enjoy it... I've had my trips like that before too. Just saying some people approach it differently.

It's not that you code better or write math equations better... It's a temporary change in the state of your mind which helps you see things from a different perspective. Think of a time when you were stuck on a really hard problem and the

There's a major difference in the way the mind of a scientist or engineer works versus the mind of an art student. Whenever I take mushrooms, I usually follow a "schedule" of things to do and try. Others I know will literally lay on a cou

I understand the glamor of writing posts like this -- Yeah! Look at us (or them). We/they don't even care about money. It's all about building something incredible... You won't often find these types of posts from people or about people w

I'd like to see more follow up posts on this subject. Computer vision is incredibly interesting and it would be cool to see you elaborate in future posts on more complex algorithms/approaches.

Zimbabwe is home to over 100,000 elephants, when they state the eco-system can only handle half that many. The video even starts off with a "hunting problem elephants". I also wouldn't call it hunting for sport when the village eats every

I'll give you that... It certainly depends on the person and past experience and I did generalize a bit based on my experience with technical co-founders I've known and worked with. When I said a "really good" tech co-founder, I kind of im

When it comes down to it, despite how you feel you're good at "business", if you find a good technical co-founder, you're going to actually be close to worthless (considering you get a really good tech co-founder, not just a programmer). B

I've smoked pot a few times, but it was never that enjoyable. I drink moderately throughout a month (maybe like 4-5 chill at home beers), and generally get drunk like 1-2 times a month on weekends or special occasions. I like the taste of

Short interesting post that brings up a good lesson, not for job seekers, but for recruiters. The Dunning-Kruger effect, for those unaware of it, states (paraphrased) that the more competent you are, the less confident you are in your comp

While I agree that the healthcare industry is ripe for innovation, I think it's a very hard industry to get into. My gf is an ICU nurse here and is constantly telling me how averse to technological change everyone in the hospital is. Nurs

Good point... I hadn't even considered IPTV and streaming services for some reason. It definitely looks like a move to protect revenue when people may be switching off services like U-Verse TV.

I feel like this is less about ability to handle the 2% who go over the bandwidth limit and more a means to fight piracy. I would assume the 2% who go over 150/250gb/month are people sharing large amounts of media (sure people like me down
