"Revelations" is not emotional, it's a form of "reveal". "After PRISM Revelations" simply means "After PRISM was revealed", since it was hidden from the public before. So, Snowden revealed the

Don't lie and pretend to be an individual just making a reservation for a night out on the town. Maybe this has value, is good or bad, whatever: but be clear with restaurants that you're a for-profit scalping business making money

It can't still be illegal here in the United States if it wasn't overlooked; ask the average person if non-psychoactive marijuana was used to make cars at one point and most will look at you with confusion, if they even answer. The history

There are a lot of shitty survey-type studies, but there is some good mechanistic research you can turn up just by searching the specific chemical names on Pubmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed )

Who cares if thinkers use drugs? They have since the dawn of time, and it's helped all of us by letting already brilliant people get an extra boost. Whether it's psychedelics, marijuana, or nootropics, we know substances can not-insignifica

Sad that hemp is overlooked, it's truly a wonder material. So much so that it sounds fake. http://www.informationdistillery.com/hemp.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor_Wears_No_Clothes

anyone more interested in the "brain hemispheres" bit ( http://f2em.com/#brain-hemispheres ) should check out Miyamoto Musashi's collection of writings called "The Book of Five Rings" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings J

You can definitely be mad at them. If they're stupid and sacrificing the quality of the actual art/software/website/thing, that's not good. It's easy to get mad at this. And when there's so many of these types of people doing so much dama

When, specifically, did taking another company's data and trying to build your own company around it become "innovating"? I am not saying such apps are useless; I'm building one now for a marketplace with pretty shitty UI. But it's not an

The last thing the tech world needs is people walking around calling themselves "growth hackers". Actually, the last thing the tech world needs is stuff like this, from the article: If a startup is pre-product/market fit, growth hackers

I think algebra is necessary, and calculus, and geometry, and trigonometry, and everything else I don't understand in the realm of mathematics. But they're important in the context of real life. So, yes, we should keep these classes, keep h

But psychology has only recently begun seriously investigating how having money, that major marker of status in the modern world, affects psychosocial behavior in the species Homo sapiens. No. Two things. First, taking this study and app

It's exactly what I'm arguing above; college doesn't matter. By saying it "doesn't matter", I'm saying that the ability of a person to produce something good or provide a good service to others does not require a causative relationship with

I'd never use a doctor, they're not tools. But I'd absolutely seek the advice of doctors who never had formal education. In fact, based on hard evidence and history, I'd be more interested in what some outside-the-box professionals have t

How does the fact that it positively impacts some people mean that it matters or is important? This article is talking about money, employment, status, etc., in the context of education and college. I'm saying that going to college does not

What does that have to do say about the value of college? And how, specifically, does that add to your statement "but it matters..A LOT"?

I'd highly recommend Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan", that's a useful tool for reminding you how little you know and how little everyone else knows. Personally, that's a motivator to build a product without being concerned about what all th

College doesn't fucking matter in any way, shape, or form in the context of reality and actually doing good, productive things. Nor do people who base hires / who they like on where those people went to college.

Uptime is something users love regardless of the size of the company whose product they're trying to use. Investing in uptime is always worth it.

I'm shocked that such a poorly done study is front page news. 76 people, comparing to a simple average, "no way of knowing" the actual results...Come on, seriously? I love science and give credit to everyone working to understand things; bu

I'm a senior in high school and building my own product, and this is very inspiring. My only question is about how you manage your school work with your, well, "actual" work. It's an issue I've had and after getting your hands on a real pro

I appreciate how this post doesn't posit that introverts "don't want to be around people", like many articles and essays do. I'm an introvert and love being around people; just not all people all the time. It's an important distinction.

This doesn't bother me. Or, I should say, I'm not inherently opposed to it. Microsoft is a private company acting on their own will. This censorship is one I might not agree with, but it could just make the case for another uncensored clien

I, too, am excited to see what happens with jQuery. It's gotten to the point now (between the main lib, jq UI, and jq mobile) that the little snippets people extract from jQuery are becoming their own micro libraries, which is super cool. I
