Does this Muck Work require talking to you/other musicians in person? I'm wondering if this business opportunity requires a physical encounter or could be done remotely. I actually would love to support musicians and other artists/talented

The elitism openly displayed by Zynga blows my mind. Chefs are somehow too lowly to have their contracts honoured? It's somehow morally wrong that Chefs should make millions? Only soulless suits and maybe a few key nerd-slaves deserve lots

Are we better off than 1000 years ago? Yeah. Are we better off than America 40 years ago? No. Are we as far ahead as we should be? No. There is still food scarcity today, and there doesn't need to be. There is still environmental destructio

This gave me a completely new look at pg. It really lets you get inside his head. What I learned: pg is an extremely literal and logical person by nature but in hindsight will tone down his own literalism in favor of a simple, goal-directed

The Apple II would not have had a keyboard or power supply without Jobs' vision though. You're probably right that it wasn't the design aesthetic that counted, but Jobs' customer focus was still very important.

The point is that those items make more money than they cost and that explains why everyone has them. It's not because they are so fun or make life worth living. It's because they give you access to a job. Same reason a homeless guy buys a

Do you realize that there is almost 20% real unemployment? This means that employers who are actually hiring have so many applicants, if you don't answer the phone, they just go to the next applicant. This isn't the Google hiring process. T

Your company is not standard. Manufacturing? Are you sure you're not in China? Most jobs available right now are customer facing service jobs. They give a typical employee 32 hours per week to avoid being legally required to treat them as a

$5000? You are so out of touch. Most people I know who are having trouble either have no car or a $400 beater car. A $5000 car would be considered lavish. You have a trust fund or something don't you? A mobile phone is absolutely a requirem

You're still missing the real value, which is not the "degree" but rather the connections. Just make friends with rich people and get them to hire you at their friend's giant corporation where their job is to undermine democracy and fool pe

The purpose of the MBA isn't the degree, it's the connections. This is why the best MBAs are also the biggest partiers and social butterflies. Networking is far more profitable than learning.

Nobody wants to do engineering so your solution is to force them? Maybe you should look into why nobody wants to do it. Like maybe the pay is too low compared to alternatives for instance.

It's really simple. Smart people are not going to work 1000 times harder for less payoff. Smart students with everything going for them get to make this decision: (A) Dedicate their entire life at college to doing useless problem sets. No f
