I second the computer history museum. It's really great, and free. I went with my family at my mom's behest and told them all "listen, I'm a computer dork so I'll like this, but don't blame me if you all hate it, I'm not forcing you to do

another point not mentioned is the benefit to society out of this automation. It makes products cheaper. This means although people may make less money, they are able to buy more with that money. This is the old "would you rather be a ri

I completely agree, except in the case of VCs. When you're dealing with partners or customers, "bringing the CTO" in to a conversation sends a message to them that you are serious about the partnership. You may be the only person on the te

I agree. When I was looking at apartments and was using walkability, I didn't think it had the sophistication I was looking for, such as using yelp to rank to get a weight of a walkable location, your sugggestion. Also, it seemed to limit

they do take a 50% cut, but I think they also do a looooot of advertising.

They also died extremely young, so they didn't have to worry about a lot of the diseases that come with not being in shape.

I'd just like to second what huxley said about not getting down on yourself for forgetting unix commands. If unix hacking isn't mission critical to your job you tend to not get the reps in these commands to make them automatic. Make googl

I agree, that's the easiest crude way to do it. The only problem will be is if you're trying to make an app where people supply their numbers in order to get an SMS, because you don't know the carrier. To get around that, afaik, there is:

I can choose in the privacy settings who sees what I'm tagged in. Specifically, I can say that tags are only seen by me, which would effectively turn off tagging. Can I do this with groups? I've tried, but can't seem to find it anywhere

From what I can tell, there are no privacy settings, and you can be added to a group without your permission. My friend just did a test where he created a group, added me, and it showed up in my feed to others without any confirmation from

anecdotally, I once asked my grandfather if people didn't really have sex that much back then, or if they just didn't talk about it, and he was quick to say that people just didn't talk about it, but maybe he was biased and just getting lai

I think the key phrase in this post, and what other commenters seem to be missing, and what the hard part of making any changes will be, is "without loopholes". That is the reason the tax code is hard. It's also a small reason(1) wealthy

that's a great analogy. If the person giving you the offer acts offended you ask such a question, you may want to question working there. Being able to discuss compensation openly is (in my opinion) extremely important for any job.

his analysis may be acceptable comparing one shot blocker to another, but when analyzing how many points or wins the shot blocker is worth he is missing a HUGE part of the value of a shot blocker. Pretty much any basketball player or coach

In addition to their deeds, I respect people for kind and humble souls. I can understand being upset about the situation (and I agree with you that his point is rock solid, the 60 day expiration is ridiculous), but the fact that he 1) made

I should first state a bias that I really dislike Greg Easterbrook as a writer for ESPN. That being said: This article is terrible. His main thesis is that you don't have to lower academic standards in order to be successful at football.

High Frequency trading is not the same as flash orders. The title was a screwup by the tech. The actual title was putting a "U.S. Proposes Ban on ‘Flash’ Trading on Wall Street": http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/18/business/18regulate.htm

I completely agree, except for the last line. This chart is worthless without any details as to how the numbers are calculated.

I'd teach. Math, science, or computer science to high school aged students. I really think teaching is fun and fulfilling, you just don't get paid well at all. I'd also read a lot.

for any reading worth remembering (and hopefully this is most things) or anything dense (technical/work/hacking/academic reading) I like paper because you can mark it up (highlight, underline, margin comments, etc.)

I haven't seen anyone mention taxes in the equation, and if you're from a state with low state income tax and sales tax, that can really add up. Granted sales take may be already in people estimates prices, but income tax is progressive an
