Software startups also tend to be very product-oriented and focus on global markets. But the most successful people I know (I don't know any billionares) run service-oriented small businesses and are focused on changing the neighborhoo

Just from a cursory glance, it appears that Chartjs is entirely free and you can do what you want with it, while Highcharts is not.

I've used taskrabbit and it's very close to the idea I mentioned, though what I had in mind is more pure physical labor related. The premise of the idea is to remove middlemen like moving companies, landscaping contractors, etc wh

Not sure why people always bring up "freedom of speech" in these types of scenarios. You can say what you want without going to jail; that's freedom of speech. It doesn't mean you won't feel social consequences.

It usually comes across pretty clearly in the recommendation letters, which admissions teams value over GPA, test scores, etc, since everyone's numbers are high.

Why is this logically wrong? I think it's a given that people/corporations follow economic incentives. We even have a legally binding phrase for that to protect shareholders. No one is making explicit accusations, just pointing ou

This is how a disruptive technology starts. Google Apps doesn't have to be better, but the idea is that one day, you'll find Google Apps "good enough", with all the benefits of being online (and now offline, too). You&#x

The fact that discrimination seems natural means that we need to fight against it consciously, not rationalize it as acceptable. If you value diversity, equality, etc, then you have to actively monitor your own discriminatory tendencies and

A secular education doesn't mean it's devoid of religious literature. On the contrary, it probably means you get to explore religious texts from a variety of cultures and religions.
