   I've learned to manage my emotions, including those that accompany failure, pretty well over the years, but there's still that initial involunary feeling of despair that, however brief, I can't get rid of. It's really nasty. If you can get

    Yes, I noticed this issue with books in particular. I plan to make it so you can mark duplicates.

    This is the first I've heard of GetGlue. Wow, talk about a sinking feeling. I've had Archfinch in my mind for about two years now, wish I launched earlier. Well, my site is much simpler to use, as far as I can tell. I plan to launch feature

    Why would you be afraid to ask about something? Unless it's a trivial question that can be easily googled, asking questions is nothing to be afraid of. Worst case someone will downvote or ridicule you. But the expected value of asking good

    Greg Baker blogged about it (and since it's a hot topic, it probably appeared in many other places) -- http://gregbaker.ca/blog/2010/08/07/p-n-np/ Also, from the blog post: "I see someone else has uploaded the paper. I should point out th

    The site is interesting. I like the meal swap approach -- normally I get cravings for a particular meal so I can just put that there and get a healthy substitute -- nifty. Some things I've noticed so far: * in signup, it would be nice to be

    I invoke something similar to Greenspun's Tenth Rule (any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.) This would be an inferior implementat

    Have you ever learned something truly? That you didn't forget? If the answer is yes, try to think about the environment that helped you do it and emulate it. Unless it requires socializing with people or something that is uneasy to do on yo

    Good question. I would imagine not, especially from the point of view of someone who can exploit an illiquidity.

    I didn't say it was good, I said that discarding something merely because you see a drawback and no benefits is foolish. You are right about the feedback loops though.

    Minute trading introduces very high levels of liquidity to the market. Your thinking represents a common fallacy: "I cannot immediately see any benefit to X, therefore X is pointless / should be abolished".

    This is an extreme example of why you don't screw people over, even if you lack empathy. Nobody likes to be screwed over, but most people take it in exchange for other perks (job security, for one). But people have a screw threshold, and if

    IE users are less savvy than Firefox/Opera/etc. users, so they would "need" a plugin like this more than Firefox et al users. Also it's probably easier to get IE users to download something like this.
