blogs seem a little one-sided to me. i guess this is the old-skool method: everyone creates their own blogs and gets feeds from everyone else. the main problem, as you mention, is finding the people to connect with. i'm not really into blog

domain knowledge can certainly be helpful. whether the cs degree is useful depends on the domain. if you just need to put together a web application for a biomedical device your building, or need to do some complicated matlab analysis, then

why don't people wear sweaters and sweat pants over their clothes? and a hat. so much heat is lost through the head! if i did have a snuggie the first thing i'd do is sew on a hood. when i go pond swimming in the fall and spring (in NewEngl

maybe the long fuel lines are not long enough to reach around superawesomemegabigsuv4x4hummertrucks. on a different note, i've always wondered why the bike chains are always on the right side.

i like this guy's authenticity. it sounds like he cares about his users and his business's success. good post, inspiring reminder (i don't usually like these kinds of posts)

i like your style. very curious to know if this pans out for you. i'm looking for a co-founder, too. my current project may not overlap with your interests, but i recently showed off a neat diy CNC mill at Maker Faire. maybe the networking

true. i think the parent question is more about adding "goodness" to the world, and less about commercial success. my personal opinion is that search, which sates the quest for information, is a problem worth solving. chat, at least as the

the "why" section seems reasonable to me. particularly as a wiki macro. it still makes me say "ugg". making a diagram in text is like writing code in ed.

how many horizontal people are programmers? i am both. being horizontal, to me, is less about thinking differently and more about being a lazy efficient programmer. i get by with what i can get by on and i focus as exclusively as possible o

i agree. furthermore, $200-300 to get in, plus travel and accommodation expenses (either in $$ or time if going the car-sharing and couch-surfing route) networking is definitely important, but only if you have someone on your team who is s

badmouthing anyone is a bad idea. it's mean and shortsighted.

hmm. this single-minded expectation makes sense if all of you sat down early in the project and agreed to share this perspective. let's suppose you also level-headedly discussed how to handle deviations from this expectation, but somewhere

Furthermore, there is the opportunity cost of the site users. I had a job where I had to use IE for internal wiki's, whereas I used chrome and firefox for my actual work. There was something seriously demoralizing about switching to IE to u

I view "respect" less as a fluffy handy wavy answer, and more of a super general meta answer. It's almost a cop-out, except that I completely agree that The Most Important Collaboration Practice is respect. I live in a coop with very little

somewhat off tangent: 1. it seems that people are more likely to reschedule and not hold to commitments than 20 years ago. 2. has the population changed, or some other external factor, or has the culture changed? 3. why?

Consider also: "For each decision, consider the impact on the next seven generations" If you can thrust up the lowest achievers into a better lifestyle, their children will be even better off. Why should "contribution to society" be limited

This doesn't sound natural to me. "Gifted" often means gifted in logic, reasoning, reading and writing. It does not mean gifted socially or athletically. Children develop a ton each year. Advancing a child one year ahead puts them at a gr
