   Yes, thank you. I think that lumping all majors at all colleges together and encouraging people to "just go to college" is a huge problem. College is a weird mix of academic pursuit and vocational training. Sometimes those things

   I was thinking about a product like this marketed at new parents. A lot of people like to post pictures of their kids but I can imagine situations where removing these pictures some time in the future would be really beneficial. Imagine you

   I saw that as perhaps a way to compare Atlassian (mainly BitBucket) to Github Atlassian is to Github as Box is to Dropbox ?

   This looks awesome. I love the ability to write on e-ink. But is flexibility a feature or a bug of paper? What is the benefit of a non-rigid e-ink display for these types of use cases?

   I'm guessing that most of the guts of the software will work anywhere but polishing the frontend is a platform unique job. Github probably has a majority OSX userbase so this made sense for the initial release.

   I think a big problem with environments is the balance between "having control" and "having to control". Sometimes just getting things set up to the point where I can actually do the work I wanted to do sucks up a lot of

    I love the new Australus UI. I've been playing around on Nightly for a bit and I can't wait until that gets rolled into the main branch.

    No, I think it boils doing to engaging with whatever you're reading rather than just consuming it. For non-fiction you can encounter the same facts as the author and reach different conclusions. Take something like Outliers, you can

    I agree. If you judge a book by what you get out of it rather than what the author's ideas and motivations are you'll probably enjoy your reading a lot more.

    This might be a minor nitpick, but it always bugs me when Ruby on Rails is listed as a language, particularly by people who should know better (developers). There's even a section for frameworks on the site. People searching for code

    What happens if I squander my basic income on something frivolous and I can't get a job? Wouldn't there still need to be social programs to prevent people who fuck up from just starving to death? How would a basic income coexist
