I think that looking at different parts of a system does in fact help you improve on whatever it is you are doing. Developing an understanding of any system in depth is imperative to getting better. Why would one want to study Calculus if

With respect to your comment; I ran cross-country in high school. We trained in certain zones called VDOT's, and in the VDOTS were times on how fast you should be running for 800m, 1600m etc. The only way we got better was pushing ou

Thanks to you and arbuge I understand this now. irishcoffee added no alternative explanation as to how my comment's source was misinformation. I figured I should give irishcoffee a chance to explain his/her reason for calling it

Thank you for the information. What you have explained is not as clearly stated in the three bullets in the reasons for passport revocations on the site I linked to.

I like how Holder says "Despite the revocation of his passport... Snowden remains a citizen" Holder revoked his passport without trial and yet the U.S. still considers Snowden a citizen [1]? How is this so? [1]: http:/&#x2F

I've recently begun designing such security systems(a few weeks ago). They are quite ugly at the moment and would require entirely new approaches to systems design. I can only hope that more people begin to think like this as it is t

Then this PhD Cornell Microsoft person should not be throwing around the word 'random' in a highly publicized periodical when it is clearly not the term that suits the situation. Alternative terms would include seemingly random,

By contrast, if success was driven disproportionately by a few early downloads, subsequently amplified by social influence, the outcomes would be largely random and only become more unequal as the social feedback became stronger. So if yo

It should also be noted that by donating a smallish amount of money (377M is a relatively small amount of money for a bank like Goldman) banks can get tax breaks, which could amount to more than they donated.

From a legal context, is someone's right to privacy thrown out the window every time they go outside? If so, then the legal issues with people videotaping other people would be almost zero, which IMO is kind of odd to think about.

Daniel Suarez's novel "Kill Decision" is a more riveting take on these drones. I highly suggest it to anyone interested in drones portrayed in a sci - fi plot.

In the spirit of healthy debate, Microsoft's control of the desktop is akin to Kleenex's control of the tissue market. It will always be there because no one really expects it to change. Which is true. Innovations in desktops are lagging

I think the computer as an example of a closed design is perfect, and that this will soon no longer be the case. Raspberry Pi is doing, IMO, exactly what you are describing here. Allowing child-like, fearless exploration of the device. I

This reminds me of a novel I recently finished. For those of you who have not read Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez, I highly suggest it. It is a very interesting story about drone warfare and artificial intelligence. This quadcopter is ee

This goes back to the old adage by Tom Preston-Werner on making Gravatar (I think); paraphrasing, but if you don't design for revenue generating parts into a site, you're gonna have a bad time trying to make money off of advertisements.
