It's a check/balance against state power, i.e. the judicial system. Many countries have used this method for centuries. It's not ridiculous because the idea is that (the diverse selection of) your peers are equal to you in mo

Being a successful business is not all gambling luck, it's not always working long hours for crap pay, and many, many people have started companies with families and without losing everything they put in. Also, "90% of people choo

I live in Salt Lake City, and I really don't see it much here. I am younger than the average age by quite a bit (so take this with heaps of salt), but at my company we have programmers in their 60's and 70's. Maybe some of th

No, why would I be annoyed about the history of the founding of the west? I am very very familiar with it. I'm only annoyed that people have been stating that same old statistic which hasn't been true for at least a decade. 41% is
