What about optimizing or customizing the website later and answering technical questions about your website? This is not criticism. I'm just wondering if you hire someone to code, what do you do about the product post completion?

Pharmaceutical R&D companies have become just development companies because they stop looking for new drugs and are simply repackaging and reformulating existing drugs (e.g. Claritin/Clarinex). They're doing this because it costs too mu

He's talking about research. You're talking about development. None of these things are exactly easy, but at least with development you're building toward something.

I think your users don't understand your website. The word content and conversation are very abstract terms that don't inform the reader to specific uses for your website. I watched your video thinking I would get a clear use-case but it st

From a societal perspective, education is infrastructure. But unfortunately, America is in a prisoner's dilemma where individual interests are eating away at our ability to see the big picture (i.e. - educating poor people who will be in ev

They need to post real-time lists of most popular books/materials checked out. It's the same mechanism social sites use. They need to at least show people that they're popular.

MOST ideas are cheap. Like all rules, there are exceptions. There are many ideas that are still here centuries later and have changed millions of lives. It's not only about execution. Even after they're well executed, we can still compare q

It's PR, what else is it supposed to do? It doesn't need to be rocket science. Brilliance in obscurity has no political impact.

Just because a business is losing money, doesn't mean it has zero value. Paul Collier, author of the "Bottom Billion", said poor countries get screwed for their resources because they don't put them up to bid. He even said the British gover

This is about the easiest thing a person can broadly state about anyone or anything. Probably <-- isn't very definitive. Entrepreneurs are the exception among society, but when you're comparing exceptional people to each other, yes the

You can renew books at most libraries online and avoid late fees. It's cheaper to buy a book than to borrow a free one? Most individuals with money find it more convenient to spend money (e.g. - cooking, transportation, etc...). One buildin

I'm kind of ashamed that people even have to ask this question. I live a block from my library. Parents take dozens of books home to read to their kids. They don't have to buy them. It would be VERY expensive to buy hundreds of kids books p

That article smacked a little bit of bitterness. It seemed to argue guys are enjoying themselves too much instead of debating the benefits of a stable family unit.

Writer was heavy handed when it came to criticizing "guys." Our society is in a transition, just like our economy is. There are hundreds of undertrained and unemployed who don't seem to have a use in our economy. Same goes for guys. They've
