He did it by providing a shitty product though. Admittedly, a lot of people used it due to sheer network effects. So it provided utility. But personally I would be ashamed if I built POF.

IMO american unions are a disaster because of government intervention. In other countries there are successful unions in industries and contexts where the government plays little role.

It doesn't even have to be a union in the way you think of it. It could just be an organization that exerts power on a wide scale without directly negotiating on behalf of the professional. Look at the difference between Doctors association

1. A rising tide floats all boats. 2. Unions don't have to fit the rigid model you have in your head of the UAW. They can still allow for inequality of pay negotiated on an individual level, but after an initial negotiation on a collective

The lack of unions is due to culture rather than labour laws. I've spent a lot of time trying to convince IT people to start a voluntary union for their own benefit. In a word, they are too competitive and naieve to make it happen. IT emplo

See the other thread about wealth where people's standard of living is measured mainly by how much richer they are then their friends. It is pretty easy to make the argument that someone 5,000 years ago who was at the top of his tribe is ha

I'm not dissing repetition as a method to facilitate memory. In WoW, people repeat the same boss over and over without learning anything or changing the approach until through luck they win. This is not possible with a school exam because y

To sum up: In games like WoW, you can win through sheer playtime and repetition. In real life, such as school, you must apply intelligence. There are many guilds in WoW who beat a boss by mindlessly throwing themselves at it over and over u

This article is propaganda written by a shill. Based on the author's logic you might as well throw up your hands and stop trying to predict anything. Roubini didn't get his message from God, he made it based on a public, replicable analysis

Constitution is meaningless these days. "Unconstitutional" is defined by the emotional whims and ideologies of judges.

For poor visual basic coders, it's easier to use standard dialogs than make custom ones. In the old days the Yes/No/Cancel text would be hardcoded into a specific dialog object.

Israel doesn't just recruit from Israel. They recruit from Jews internationally. This is a major part of their strength. How many brilliant Jewish software people live in the USA? Those are the people Israel would recruit, along with their

While it is hard to somehow "prove" what is the best strategy for an institution, I would say there is indeed hard science that has been done that gives us a fuzzy picture. It's not a perfect science, but then again even quantum physics is

If you can't be loyal to the institution, be loyal to the "favourable conditions" of the institution. Support those conditions. Because those conditions DO give back to you.

You're missing the definition of a good institution. A "good institution" is one that does not interfere, but also stops others from taking over and interfering. Innovation is as natural as breathing, but so is conquest. After innovation, t
