I don't want to overshadow the general point, because I think it has some merit, but one problem I had with the article was the quote, "If I read 10 or 15 interesting articles on different subjects in a row, what’s left of it an hour later?

I'm asking you this question because you seem to support the article, what exactly do you think the author means by the term "brilliant jerk"? It seems like their description is of a very nice, respectful, talented person, but who maybe is

I agree, it could definitely be a situation where owning a car is like owning a plane. Sure, some people do it as hobbyists, but why would you when there are extremely efficient (computer operated) and inexpensive (no taxi driver, 100% upt

do you have a source for the proficient/96% stat? I'm not doubting the claim, but I if I want to use it I'd like a source.

No, from what I understand there are no changes to the rules about investors needing to be accredited ( http://www.sec.gov/answers/accred.htm ) which prevents the general public from investing. This would just allow startups to publicly sta

thought the same thing. In addition, once you're retired you have social security and medicare to help out (let's assume for a moment that we'll actually collect ss and medicare, I don't want to get into that debate). When you throw those

I guess we haven't agreed upon what metric we are even trying to compare (not surprising then we have a disagreement). I was making a comment on facebook vs yahoo as a profitable business, so I looked at profit. Facebook may never get to

Facebook would have to really screw up at this point in order to end up the next Yahoo! They made 1 billion in 2011, while yahoo only made over 1 billion 3 times (max was 1.8 billion in '05, my sources are the yahoo annual reports) since 9

But experience can't always prevent mistakes and pitfalls because you can't always predict the future. This is especially prevalent in the land of startups where you can think the most important thing is X, you build a bunch of stuff for i

[this is obviously just my personal opinion] When I'm hiring programmers, I don't care about thank you notes. I don't care because how good a programmer is has nothing to do with being skilled at social niceties, networking, and so on. For

There are so many variants to this quote I think it's impossible to tell where it originated. "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." - Unkown (at least to me) "Everybody wants to be Seinfeld, but nobody wants to be Jerr

I may be misinterpretting the parent, but I don't think he was disagreeing with the assessment that a 1-10MM/yr business is a lifestyle business, but more that a 10-100MM/yr business is "no man's land". Also, from my experience, founders do

I actually think there is some value in pointing out a bad article and slamming it, and from what I can tell by the comments so far that is just what's happening. Similar to learning from failures there is something to be learned from read

that actually answered my question. I don't know the html spec that well so I didn't know if both "<" and ">" were reserved characters. From what I understand of what you're saying, it's only when ">" comes after a "<" tha

I generally like this style guide a lot. It makes (in my opinion) the more rational choice on some items (like no nested closures), has a lot of good tips (like named closures), or makes a definitive decision on stuff that could go either

could you elaborate on A? What's the problem of using "<" in an enclosing html document that wouldn't also be a problem for ">", which already exists?

I thought the same thing when I read about "$" and thought they should use "<" as you suggest. I don't like that the last element in a chain of css isn't the target.

protecting the ball is different than how you fall. Protecting the ball is practiced, and there are fundamentals for it (covering both tips of the ball, pressing the ball tight to your body, putting 2 hands on the ball in traffic, and tran

"Division 1 NCAA scholarships are restricted to something like 70 per school across all sports." That's not true. I've never heard of an NCAA total scholarship limit, only limits based on specific sports. Even if there were a limit, it w

from my understanding of rugby, another big difference is rules regarding how a team keeps possession of the ball. In rugby (to the best of my knowledge) it's important to fall properly so that your team can ruck over you and keep possessi
