Obviously, this was already tried. The precursor to Facebook, at least among my peers, were personal blogs on Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, etc and the precursor to that was personal web sites on GeoCities and Tripod. Many of my friends link

I believe your point is based on a false premise: that people commit crime because they don't see a better option. A lot of times people commit crime for the same reasons they eat unhealthy, fight with their family members, and get add

I would contend that there is a difference. They are advertising a watch . But what most people are receiving is a piece of trash. If a local taco joint advertises 5 cent tacos for a promotion and they give you a moldy peanut butter sand

Your post reads (to me) like you no longer believe in absolute ethics. If that's the case, how can you argue with someone else's definition of ethics?

I don't disagree but the problem is when the lines are very gray. Like when you have Jason Jones in custody and he's be in trouble for 6 other things and "he probably killed this guy". That's when the generally goo

It doesn't sound like they even checked his MetroCard. They probably asked around the department maybe called the Metro and were told it would take 3 months to check it and gave it back at that point.

Yes, both. But maybe one is more important?

You're not the only one. I will load AMP pages and then tap through to the source page just to make sure I'm not letting Google control the experience.

Have you lived this way for long? Has it become your trademark? Maybe you kind of want to get a phone now but since you've gone this long without one, it's like a streak or a reputation you don't want to ruin?

Creating currency out of thin air also creates inflation. Inflation must be kept in check or bad things happen. Maybe the current levels are sustainable. But not all increases in deficit are sustainable.

Exactly. And this is why credit ratings matter. Because for people to buy the bonds the credit rating needs to be high to keep the yield (interest) low. If a country receives a less-than-stellar credit rating, the only way they can entice p

It was probably because of the phrase used by Thomas Jefferson, "merciless Indian savages" which on one hand sounds hateful. But it was also an accurate description of the way Indians fought. We must study history and we have to a

I would be surprised if there wasn't corporate speak about it. Honestly, if you were running the corporation would you just boil it down to "We stopped building our Internet airplane thingy. Sorry y'all" ?

Perhaps the bees figured out that the card with the most white space was the card with sugar water? A card with fewer symbols presumably has more white space. A card with no symbols has more than a card with one symbol. Or maybe they smelle

Exactly. You would think an ad executive could boil down his message a little.

Isn't the article basically a summarized transcript of the video? EDIT: Also, I imagine anyone who spends lunch with this guy just gets to listen. He is a bloviating pontificator if I've ever seen one.

I don't disagree with your assessment but, right or wrong, Steve Jobs was on another level. Most great leaders have character flaws. Some of them are very obnoxious petty people. See Nick Saban or Michael Jordan. Steve Jobs pushed peop

Imagine if stores had a way for you to pay for your physical stuff on your phone without waiting in a physical line. 1. Use their app to scan the bar code 2. Pay with a card 3. A self-service printer prints a receipt/confirmation of pu

There are a couple of cool apps on phones called "Telephone" and "Messages" and you can call or text people in an emergency situation. I'm pretty sure those are the apps one would use during a terrorist attack. But
