His offer to correct any inaccurate claims is noble. I also applaud him for actually responding to the claims and not just offering the boiler plate "I stick by my story" response. Though, I'm sure the Bezos are all done with

Did you take a poll of everyone you've met about this topic? Or are you assuming that the people you've met would have told you if they sent letters to the CEO? Consider this possibility: maybe Jeff Bezos sends personal replies to

Fewer bounces doesn't mean more conversions. The winning site might have generated the most tours of office space but the Ugly Banking Site may have generated more overall page views. That's what I got from it.

What I picked up in the "whats in it for me" category was pretty much in the url. I'm going to learn "how to code". The video went on to explain that I specifically could learn HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, and Ruby on Rai

The ppi race is the new megapixel race. Who needs pixel perfection 200 ppi beyond what the human eye can perceive? No one. But the show must go on.

It is the parents' job to make sure their child is being educated. If the school is doing a poor job, the parent should switch schools or supplement the education at home. I say this because I think people used more common sense about

I have found that orange-flavored Trident gum and a certain type of evergreen bushes commonly used in landscaping around shopping centers also smell like cat urine from a short distance. Cat urine smell is such a pervasive entity.

I'm not sure that this is of much significance. In 2009, in the US, there were 14.9 million bicycles purchased [1] vs. just over 13 million passenger vehicles[2]. [1]: http://nbda.com/articles/industry-overview-201

Chris Moneymaker, the WSOP winner, is my favorite example of this. EDIT: I wonder how many of these people were drawn to their careers by the fact that they were aptly named for the career choice. I imagine the first time Chris Moneymaker

Think of it this way: if a person won't tell a lie that person is always truthful. But if a person will tell the truth , that person may or may not always be truthful.

Based on your definition of trust (which I tend to agree with) you have to know the other party pretty intimately to know whether you can trust them. The Bruce Schneier you know wouldn't compromise his own principles and beliefs but wh

The hippie/'open your mind' culture has left people feeling if someone doesn't agree with or support all of my lifestyle choices, if they tell me what I'm doing is wrong, they must be a bigot. It's a fallacy.

Truth is discovered. The process of arriving at the discovery of truth is where the perceptions and subjectivity play a role. For example, water has certain properties based on the conditions surrounding it. These properties exist whether

Where did this article mention climate change? If you agree with every fact in the article, why would you look for a hidden agenda? Your comment makes you seem a bit paranoid.

It's not that much different than squirrels saving nuts for the winter. Saving for the future is wise. More to your point though, I think retirement dreams have been born out of blue-collar type work. People physically cannot do most t

It's neat how you picked an example that doesn't apply to my point. I fully understand the difficult situation people get "stuck" in. The reason people are "stuck" is many times because no one is telling or sho

If you're that poor, drink tap water and don't buy beer and soda. You'll save way more that way than you could possibly make recycling. Here's another idea, don't accept it. Don't settle for poverty. One of th
