Not to mention the fact that at least one of the criticisms in the article is a total strawman. Joel never said that unit testing is absurd; he said that 100% coverage (and to a slightly lesser extent, unit testing of criteria where tests

I'd like to see Timmy train for an ironman triathlon or a super marathon. Or win a UFC championship (most likely by strategically placing his crotch in the path of his opponents' fists so they become disqualified and he wins by default).

She comes off as a very jealous and spiteful person. Perhaps, but beside the point - points #1-4 in that article are valid examples of Significant Douchebaggery (point #5 seems to have been thrown in just to round out the list).

That's ridiculous! You can't claim that someone isn't "playing fair" if they are playing by the rules! I didn't claim he wasn't "playing by the rules"; I claimed he was "playing like a douche."

Heh, someone has never played competitive sports with weight classes before. He wasn't referring to the standard process of cutting weight and rehydrating after the weigh-in - he was referring to the fact that Ferriss won a kickboxing cha

Self-copying 3D printers will make it an order of magnitude cheaper again, and will finally kill the idea of intellectual property. But - just as with computers and music - they will also expand creativity, because people don't create thin

The point is not to make minimum-wage workers rich -- just enough so that they should be able to survive without having to work insane hours. $30k a year to survive isn't some natural law - when you make minimum wage $15 an hour, the pric

This is easy. When all your competitiors have to pay higher wages it drives consumer prices up and so your revenue goes up as well such that you can also pay higher wages. This is an argument for the ability of a business to keep the sam

I never said anything about the Netherlands' unemployment rate. I said that all else being equal, the country with the higher minimum wage will have higher unemployment, because there is a larger barrier to entry to the job market. But if y

Finaly, they need to lower the minimum wage and cut government services, so more people are desperate enough to commit crimes. Or better yet institute an extremely high minimum wage, so that if you're an unskilled laborer you remain unemp

patents give people an incentive to invent. The particular implementation of patent law may be idiotic, but the general idea of patents most certainly is not. And yes, capitalism worked before patents in the same sense that medicine worked

I don't know about suburban as in "within commuting distance to the city", but rural poor largely have cars because they need them. You absolutely cannot get by in a rural area without a car, and that is a huge barrier to entry to the job

No I was specifically referring to the first part of the article, about obtaining fresh-roasted beans, grinding them, and then brewing them in a french press using water off the boil. The article writer alleges that that process improves yo

I've tried all the stuff mentioned in the article, and to me personally (allow me to repeat this to nip the obvious retorts in the bud - to ME, PERSONALLY :P) it hasn't made one bit of difference. I still use a french press, but that has

For those who do not live in and for the web, "whatever comes with the computer" is what gets used. MSN wasn't anywhere near as popular as AOL. But why not? After all, it satisifed your criterion, because it "came with the computer." Also

"Norway has 20 times as much oil production per capita as the UK. That's the real Norway lesson. Sit on tons of oil." Haha, brilliant. Sounds a little like a lottery winner offering financial advice.

Funny he implies the bundling of IE in every copy of Windows and the threats against OEMs who thought about bundling any other browser had nothing to do with the failure of Netscape. He doesn't just imply it - he says it explicitly in ano

How about proposing coming up with an enduring Middle East peace settlement as a paradigm for "thinking better," Well, Israel is dimpled, and the PLO is round, so I think the ideal two-state solution would look something like a golf ball.

So very sick of hearing from/about this guy. Yes, 37 is lumpy like oatmeal to you - I get it. The only thing of value I've gotten from this man's existence is unfortunately slightly less respect for V.S. Ramachandran, whose writings I great

If, on the other hand, you listen to his debate with Richard Perl... Or you could watch the Harvard debate he had with Alan Dershowitz on Israel where he wasn't particularly convincing, or better yet the passage of _The Blank Slate_ where

One thing I've learned the hard way is that self-deprecation only works in British comedy. In the USA most people don't get it and it not only damages your career but your dating and social life, too. The greatest (or second greatest, dep
