This comment and the thread nested under it misrepresent the point Taren makes in her statement, which is not that MIT caused his death, but that MIT is making a claim of neutrality that is not true. It is clearly true that Shwartz's

well they obviously have a server-side listener with a lookup/execute routine, as they have whitelist, blacklist, and other conditional features, but i don't believe it's available as an API.

iOS doesn't give developers access to the callerID of incoming calls. you'd need to do a cut/paste (at best) and probably have to type in the number by hand. it would be made more complex by the fact that at least some carr

I doubt he sold the book rights outright without an ongoing royalty. He may not have benefited personally from the sales in his lifetime as much as his legacy would seem to owe him, but I imagine his estate (and its agents) have done perfe

My guess is it's bad targeting parameters on the part of the company or whoever is placing ads on their behalf, but it's equally possible that you picked up an attribute that they are deliberately targeting against, without your realizing i

Piling on the comments that say you should consider developing this as a general service. One constituency to keep in mind is the person who has a job but would quit it if they had the right cofounder -- ie some form of anonymous or semi-an

One of the defining characteristics of a bubble is that a threshold-clearing percentage of people don't know it's a bubble. Thus, there's no such thing as "a bubble that didn't burst", there are only either things that weren't bubbles in th

Yes, but I think some of the other answers her suffer from survivor bias. The fact that some talented people are able to make movies that cost less does not imply that that some percentage of cheap movies are likely to be awesome. It is NO

Mixpanel is the top-shelf solution at the moment. There are a variety of other options, including flurry, KISSmetrics, and a new product from testflight, depending on your preferred price/features blend. Try quora for compare & contra

So many of these suggestions are mechanical chore-doers. If I could automate my home to inspire me, that would be something. To wake me up intelligently, get me pumped up to work out, inspire me with art and music at other times... you ge

Great concept. If your employment situation is something you're interested in changing, you might consider putting contact info or Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. for the team members.
