Then how do they explain Washington's higher 8.2% rate? You should read the comment in the original post ( http://www.tonywright.com/2009/should-you-move-your-startup-... ) by user abscondment. He contends that the data that Tony wrote is

Yeah I'm still wrestling with many aspects of the startup I'm putting together. I answered the questions and got a 99%, but I'm not entirely sure of its accuracy. I decided to click "No" for the Do you agree with this result? as a 99% sco

@yungchin - but teaching IS part of Seth's job, he gets paid to speak and to do consulting, just because the job title is different, doesn't necessarily mean aspects of the jobs are any different. As for some textbooks being out of date, th

First of all, they are not "random", they are the same thing he suggests professors spend their time on and publish for free: "pages or chapterettes or even entire chapters on topics that matter to them". Umm, he writes "They are incredi

Did you even read the same post that I did? He's complaining about text books... He complains about the price and then later advocates that professors should give away their content online for free instead of in textbooks. Yet he does exact

How is this hypocritical, though? It is hypocritical because on one hand, he's saying that those professors should create content of the same scope that you would find in a text book and put it online for free - meanwhile he's got adverts

How much did you pay to read the blog post? Ok, well seeing as you're trying to be a smartass, let me answer you. Using rough calculations... I use my internet for about 6 hours a day x 30 days a month so I get approximately 180 hours of

Seth is usually a bit hit and miss, some things he says are interesting, other's are just not. This post is the latter - yes it's a rant, but it's completely way off base. If he doesn't like the current textbooks, like any good entrepreneur

Quite simply, the people who know how to use command line tools to install their favourite browsers would be significantly smaller than the number of people who would install firefox as a default browser when IE comes pre-installed. So in e

I'm curious if Europe will enforce the same policies on Apple - eg, ensuring that safari does not come pre-installed on snow leopard. If not, blatant double standards given Apple's market share is increasing. EDIT - another thought, since a

Flipside, it could also mean higher advertising rates given the traffic is more qualified if the discussion doesn't degenerate into trolling behaviour. Think about it, sites like 4chan have issues with getting advertisers BECAUSE of the ext

I'll provide a counter-point. I used to frequent a forum for tabletop wargaming here in Western Australia that was used for discussing the hobby, setting up games etc. Anonymity really isn't an issue there because everyone knows pretty much

Actually I'm not representing singles bars at all, I think the difference here is mostly cultural. In Australia, we generally don't distinguish between singles bars and regular ones - in fact, I don't think I can actually name any place tha

You haven't spoken to many women about it have you? Male perspective - bars + clubs = casual sex* Female perspective - bars + clubs = for dating* *There will obviously be outliers in both cases, but that's generally how it plays out.

Having just seen the longer video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU7dxkIz1Vs ), definitely guy #2 from the video Seth linked. Guys were coming and going, but he was the one that stuck around and with such passion to get guy #3 to jump in.

You might also want to look into the UK site "Mysinglefriend" - my understanding of the site is that it is designed to help you find your friends dates. I've been told (by a english female friend) that its quite successful in the UK, can an

So you're letting them off on a technicality then. I wouldn't say Google are getting off on a technicality. I'm just saying that the premise of the article is false given that Google has shown in the past that they are trying advertising

I'd argue guy #2. Once you add the second guy in, it becomes social. When you add in guy #3, that's when the exponential growth happens and you achieve virality, but without guy #2 it would just be guy #1 still doing his own thing. If we we

But then again, Google's argument (saying they only influence 2.66% of the advertising market) is also correct, given they also do TV advertising http://www.google.com/adwords/tvads/ ...and have dabbled in radio ads http://google-tmads.b
