   If it's incorrect it's certainly misleading. But it's not incorrect. It may be misleading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy_in_India There are clearly different laws that apply to different religious groups when it comes to polygamy

   When I was in India, I found it interesting that the Indian concept of Freedom of Religion (which they've had off and on for much much longer than the US) is actually equality of religion in the eyes of the state rather than separation of c

   This is not "storifying" because the output is not a story. It's metadata and visualization attached to an album. I make the distinction because story is important. I'd suggest reading http://www.amazon.com/Wired-Story-Writers-Science-Sen

   The company I work at now doesn't make the distinction and has plenty of coders who "do both." I also do both. "Creative" is still a bad name. When your application evolves and the names of your services no longer match their business pur

   I've had Chicago cabbies sometimes use Square instead of the card reader. They tell me the card reader costs them 5-7% (too many middlemen) while square is 3%ish I happily pay with Square to give the guy more money for the service. I pay

   The term "creative" is misleading though and its use should be discouraged. I worked at a consulting company that started doing agency work, hired designers, promoted creative directors, built a creative department, added a creative area w

   I wanted to start this exact company. When I learned about Vayable I was a little disappointed. But I hope they succeed because this idea done right is something the world needs. Anyone who has overpaid for a Kilimanjaro hike, a Serengeti

   This article reeks of an academic defending his turf to me. Basically, it all comes down to the author accusing Sal Khan of willfully ignoring research. This is based on a quote that I believe is intentionally misinterpreted. Khan says "

    Let's say I invent a hyper-efficient, clean, alternative energy source that averts climate change, makes cheap energy universally available and stops a lot of the causes of war. Would me also becoming the richest man on earth as a result ma

    I think this is great. Ownership of user contributed content is a big open question. Now everything is becoming social and crowd-sourced. If this pushes the question to the forefront so an actual judgment is made it will put businesses o

    This is a very accurate portrayal of the hard parts of traveling as a backpacker in India. I'm not sure it's a totally accurate portrayal of India itself. I spent six months backpacking around India. A lot of what he said in the article re

    There's a time on the mountain for me when I'm tired and maybe want to turn around. The same often happens in difficult projects (2/3 of the way in when the fun is over and it's just the shitty part of execution left). In hindsight, the t
