Or how about this... There's a hidden pot and every user can only contribute the same amount of money (say $1) to the pot. This way, the value of the pot would more likely reflect the community consenus of issue value to the project.

It seems like a good solution to someone abusing this system would be to call them out on it. It stops because of social pressure (hopefully) and you don't have to take away everybody's fun. Something like an email that reads "We noticed

I know a fair number of people with a wide range of CS-type BS degrees from vocational schools up to top tier universities. None of them are working "$8/hr no benes" jobs. It sounds like you're just being unnecessarily pessimistic. Here's

Most people who get a BS in biology end up becoming scientific biologists, though they might apply things that they've learned about biology in more practitioner type careers. Most people who get a BS in computer science don't go on to be

I've read it several times, the first time being in highschool and the most recent being a few months ago. As I get older I've read it with a bit more skepticism about the novelty of his overarching ideas and the rigor of some of his reaso

I'm guessing that they made a finite number of this version because they'll be making a lot of improvements and new versions in the future. In order to make those improvements they need lots of data about how people use the product. Peopl

One of the things about physical vs online higher education that I see as under-discussed is the ambient learning that takes place when you are in physical location with a bunch of curious people learning similar things to you. I know that

I've been fortunate enough to live a comfortable life, but I was able to get some experience living on the street through a volunteer project I did in college working with the homeless in Washington DC. We spent the first 48 hours of our t

I think this would be great because it would really let people use what they want. Office is good at what it does. There are lots of people who run Linux who could benefit from it. If you're not one of those people and Google Docs or Lib

It's not quite that simple. A good interface for a power user is not a good interface for a first time user. Many developers think VIM has a good interface for what they want to do but I wouldn't call it intuitive for a first time user wi

How does a song get qualified as good? If the production is bad but the song itself is good, will it get attention? Is there a specific style of music for which your artist reviewers have expertise/preference?

I think that when you try lots of things and thinking critically about them as you work with them, you're bound to form strong opinions about what you like and what you don't like. That's why being able to intelligently discuss your favori

Considering the very low percentage of IDEAS that turn into valuable companies, especially without the injection of new contacts and business expertise that an incubator might provide this actually seems like an OK deal. If hmexx does 10 o

You are absolutely right, but that's really not the point of this post. While real poverty is an issue worth talking about, that's not what this guy is trying to address. The point seems to be that many people who have disposable income tr

Though I'm sure this is a sentiment held by many as they mature in their fields, I almost feel bad for people just getting started with web development today. When I first started most web development was pretty bad. I hacked around with H

Sort of off-topic but I thought that the use of "take a punt" was interesting. Before I realized he was European, I thought it a strange phrase. Obviously in (soccer) football, taking a punt (a kick to try to score) would be a good thing,

I think you're trying to make a statement about objective artistic value, which arguably doesn't exist. From this comment all you've really said is that you and Bill Hick (probably) wouldn't think this is art. Nobody here could argue with
