You are basically right, but when you are talking about a website that is designed and promoted as a sales catalog, you have to be more open to the notion that is OK to have advertising. Unlike a movie, commerce is the visitor's reason for

Outbrain ads specifically put the nail in the coffin on seattlepi.com's long slide from legitimacy. It is sad, because seattle PI used to be he leading real newspaper for Seattle. I would say the same for CNN, but CNN became a worthless org

MIT has been doing it for a decade, except for the coordinated enrollment (study groups) and automatically graded exercises (both of which are nice enhancements, but the ML class exercises are mostly pointless.) http://ocw.mit.edu/

That's puffery. These courses are not Stanford quality. The lectures maybe, but not the homework and assessments, and there is no research at all.

Do you have any research about this inverse proportion? The bubble was in the news the whole time. People just didn't care. http://seattlebubble.com is entirely funded by real estate advertising.

If it's a no-brainer, why aren't short sellers flooding the market and driving down the price to the post-lockup price?

How does that work? When you short, you immediately sell the shares you borrowed. Why aren't those shares available to be re-borrowed from the new owner? The only reason I can guess is that the new owner isn't connected to the liquidity sys

Make $325k/yr, get finances by parents, and have no dependents. Yeah, that's a good way to stay afloat. Nice work if you can get it, indeed.

Why the heck are you saving any cash when you have credit card debt, and how the heck did you get a mortgage with 50% back-load debt ratio? You need to cut back on your spending, and with rent our your too-expensive house or walk away from

Stack depth limits avoid some non-termination by changing them into crashes. It is still a failure, of course, but a bit different and generally less troublesome than say, a tailcall eliminating recursion that actually spins for hours until

Strangest line of python is introductory Haskell. The use of 's' and 'st' and 'state' is the most bizarre part. Why not 'sta' to maintain arithmetic progression? Or s t u since brevity is the goal?

An inflection point is where progress starts to decelerate ahead of a possible reversal in direction.

The complication is that most life choices are to some extent reversible in case of mistake. Suicide is not, and therefore is subject to more delicate considetation. Also, for anyone not a hermit, suicide affects other people who may have m

It is hard for a dev to say a crash is a feature. It is easy for a designer to say an unusable UI is an intentional exploration of a new paradigm for modality in transhuman existence.

Linux will never work properly on a laptop or any interesting consumer hardware. VM is always the way to go. The stable drivers on uniform virtual hardware solve the problem in a way real hardware driver will never be able to do.

I don't understand why no PC manufacturer has done something different like a very gentle ratchet or mild Vel-cro to get YankSafe functionality. Or even just slightly differently laid out magnets.

Does anyone who is not a startup founders think kitschy foreign ccTLD domain names are cool? They just confuse users. I am waiting for the day the new Libyan government desides they don't want American companies exploiting .ly. That will be

Share function belongs in the browser or in Web Intents. It would be less work for all the sites, consistent UX for users, and much better page load speed.

If you could, how much would you charge someone to "subscribe" to "buy off" the share buttons for their pageview? Same question goes for ads. If the price isn't too high, someone should just start selling crapblockers that make everyone hap

Why? Zynga hit the (hypothetical) $20B in far less time and employees than Apple did. That is far more return on invested capital.
