I agree with you that he takes this to an extreme. I considered buying that silverware set before I realized to host a dinner party with it, I'd actually need $250 to buy 5 sets, not $50. Still, I'd like to play the devil's advocate. 4 yea

Do you really use 20 desktops? If so, I'm curious what you use all of them for. I try to limit myself to 3 but you have me wondering what else I could separate out.

As of the time of this writing, there are 4 Portugese universities among the top 10. I would've expected tech-heavy universities to place among the top 10. Is this the case with these schools? 2 Universidade Técnica de Lisboa 3694 8298 p

As I see it, commercial companies already develop learning tools--high school and college textbooks. These coursebooks are already required reading in classes. There already exist companies that profit off of universal education. That's n

What's to keep Tesla from partnering up with major supermarkets and malls? Tesla could offer free covered parking spaces to the building owner-operators and free (or metered) charging to the customers. The owner-operators get free 'green' P

Amazing! Thanks for the link. I had no idea Seattle was so close to 100% renewable. For those too lazy to click the link: Hydro 92.39% Wind 4.07% Nuclear 2.52% Coal 0.52% All other categories are 0.25% and below.

I was somewhat skeptical of this claim, so I did some googling. TLDR: FB made about 10% of its 2011 revenue, $4270 M, from Facebook Credits, $470 M. Their projected 2012 revenue is $5042 M, of which $811 M is expected to come from 'Facebook

One could argue that it's still in the interests of Bitfloor and similar exchanges to pay for such a service. Where will they be left off financially if such an event occurs? From the article: "BitFloor may take one of two options. They ma

It seems to me that if Twitter were able to offer their API freely to devs at zero cost to themselves, they would do so. Twitter bootstrap, on the other hand, is something they built for themselves to reduce the friction of creating rich, c

I think this is a good route to go. My coworker started this way and asked questions to me and our other Vim user. After a couple of months, he got used to enough Vim functionality to make the jump. He was also motivated by the vim-featur
