There is at least one college which attempts to beat the arrogance out of you (see don rag), St. John's College. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johns_College,_U.S. ) At the end of sophomore year, the tutors at the college decide whether

I must agree. Most of what Apple has produced has been brilliant, but iTunes is one of those pieces of software that I only opened up when absolutely necessary. I'll give this third party ware a try.

This is great. I only wish our computer science program required Databases to graduate, because while learning about thunks and trampolining in PL and writing a disassembler for the M68K were all fun (and required), in the real world the ch

Taken from the TG-119 which Bloomberg referenced: In other words, companies would only be able to take a deduction on their U.S. taxes for foreign expenses when they also pay taxes on their foreign profits in the United States. This makes

All of these Twitter apps are really just a diversion. The rest of us can hack with a little more peace of mind since our potential competition is off in the echo chamber.

It isn't surprising most founders are in their twenties given demographics which are probably close to this on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=517039 It looks like those in their thirties are well-represented. I don't see why age

I did at first, and you are right that it is a mistake. The key problem is inconsistency. Nothing wrong with working differently, taking weekends off or whatever. But girls and freelancing are higher priorities to him. Why shouldn't they be
