Google employees will now organize to lobby to bring a "stand your ground" law in California. When that happens we'll see how many hipsters feel like threatening someone who can afford a semi-automatic weapon and has the skil

It's a very first world "not in my backyard" movement. Righteous indignation about someone with more money encroaching on "their place" in the universe. Get used to it little hipsters, you're not the first it&#

Where were these uber-concerned citizens while George Bush was raping the US and Iraq? Why are they not protesting at the White House or stopping NSA employees from getting to work? But yeah, trample the rights of individual people, that wi

Just waiting for the founding of "Techlandia" where a big corporation (or several) form their own country and abolish all tax laws. Maybe they buy up some land, maybe they sponsor a country in trouble and take it over. As their o

So they went into debt for a Yugo instead of a BMW. It's the same problem. People aren't able to separate wants from needs and do the basic math that would tell them they'll end up with a crushing debt after a 4 year degree p

Without some proof that it works and that it's really as easy as you say, it's a much harder sell. Try testing it with and without the video and see how many signups you get. You can always do an email drip after you have their ad

I understand completely, but if learning is your motivation and you take on crushing debt to make it happen, you have no right to whine about it. Would you be as sympathetic to someone who ran up thousands of dollars on their line of credit

Why are people still pursuing degrees which they will likely NEVER be able to use? This is not a problem that universities need to fix, but it is ultimately a self-correcting problem. If people can't get paid for studying X for 7+ year

If you actually have something working, add a video demo showing how quick and easy it is to configure a new site. That's what I'd be looking for.

I was thinking more about a time when universities were really a place you went to learn, not to kill time while you figured out what to do with your life. I was thinking 500 years ago not 50 years ago. Not everyone is cut out for it, but t

I guess it depends on where you live. In Canada you can have the loan discharged when you declare bankruptcy, after 10 years. One more thing that a young general arts student should look up before taking on a loan and joining a frat.

Dear Broke Snowflake, Do you know who used to go to university before they became degree foundries? The very rich or the VERY smart. Why? They could afford it or they got sponsored because someone realized their future potential and how the

3DCOM was going with a service model as well but the internets were pretty new to most people back then. They also got a write up in the Pipeline section of PCMagazine (new technologies section) back when suck things mattered. I think I sav

It's pretty easy to extract all the image data from ANY video source using FFMPEG. If the command line version doesn't fit into your workflow, there's always libavcodec (what FFMPEG is based on). Give me a shout if you'r

Very cool! I wrote code to do this back in 1995 for a company called 3DCOM. We supported full color, full page prints from a sequence of 24 images, each from a slightly different angle to produce a 3D "holographic" printout. the e

This is just a large physical battery. The only way to win is if storing the energy in a weight system is more efficient or has more capacity than storing it in a chemical battery. It's certainly not as scalable as a chemical battery a

If you've blown through 10 years of savings in 1 year that should be a warning sign. If, after a year of freelancing, you're not completely self-sustaining, I'd say it's time to re-evaluate your plan. You do have a PLAN
