Re-read what you just wrote. Now, do you really think you're the target audience?

Interesting, how people hold the world's only Jewish state to a different moral standard than every other country. There's a word for that.

Uh-huh. Do they also control the media?

The Arab world is already awash in antisemitic propaganda. This Twitter account isn't going to move the needle there. No, this account is aimed at Americans. It shares short, simple, true messages: Hamas is a terrorist organization, Hamas l

With a sample size of 395, given the intensity of feeling around general elections, all this really does is show that America is staggeringly not racist.

Well, sure, since affirmative action doesn't help those people nearly as much as it helps upper-middle class kids from the suburbs. That's the problem with it - whatever its intentions, it just doesn't help the people it truly needs to.

A 'notwithstanding' clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that lets the government override it, as long as it's 'reasonable and justified'? The somewhat amusingly named Canadian Human Rights Commission, which can regulate wh

Are there any districts on this list that are remotely competitive? I'm sympathetic, but I really don't understand why people bother attacking entrenched politicians in non-competitive districts when they should be identifying more competit

Can what Nate Silver be doing be considered science? He's dealing with terribly sketchy data. Response rates to political polls in America are south of 10%, and there's no proof that the portion of the population willing to have a conversat

It's worth noting that the user ID sync only needs to happen once per bidder in the real-time auction that determines which ads get served - once the bidder's user ID is linked to the auction provider's user ID, no more cookies need to get

Are you confusing 'bootstrapped products' with some other concept like 'passive income'? Amount of revenue six months out doesn't have anything to do with whether something's bootstrapped.

Maybe you can answer this for me, since I've always wondered: what happens if your company runs out of money, and you get into an impossible situation where you can't keep paying your employees, but you also can't afford to pay the severanc

Something specific for the candle lighting ceremony, perhaps? Usually there's a snippet of a song played for each candle - something themed to the party lighting the candle, played just long enough to let them make their way to the front of

Wait, what? It's way easier to make money by selling a product or service than it is by 'tracking customers and selling data.' An individual's data is worth next-to-nothing. You have to accumulate huge audiences and keep the costs of what

I wouldn't approach it this way. Instead, I would think of a project I wanted to build, pick a language well-suited for that project, and then learn that language as I got building. Learning through doing is the best way to make learning ea

PATH is cheaper, cleaner, and except late at night runs very frequently. I've taken it for entirely-within NYC trips when it makes sense.

Noticed this today. I wanted to get the cross-street of an address on Broadway. First, I get an address on Broadway in Bayonne. Okay, almost plausible, since I was in Hoboken. I append 'New York, NY' to the address. Now I get an address in

I remember being solicited for this in 2008, maybe 2009. While it was pretty obvious that I could 'win' the award by paying for a conference ticket, I considered it - just so I could send out the press release, put the logo on my web site,

That'd be true if you only hired people as good as yourself in all the specialized functions. Instead, you hire people better than yourself. Managing finances, for example, is much easier with a CPA on staff. What on earth could be the poin

God, yes. Things get much easier. A certain class of startup-building problems gets way easier as you grow and can afford to hire specialized resources. Get to the point where you can hire a good finance person? Things just got way easier

The comment I replied to suggested that an in-state school followed by grad school at Princeton would be a better alternative than paying for an undergrad degree at Princeton. I was responding to that.

While elite schools like Princeton have very attractive financial aid packages, even if they didn't, the connections you'll make as an undergrad there are well worth the price of admission. It's not just the education you're paying for. If

The first company to offer intensive programs like this over the Internet will do well for themselves.

Wasn't implying that it was. It's entirely plausible that someone, disliking the FBI, made up an elaborate lie to discredit them.

About to go through this myself. It sounds like a classic chicken-and-egg problem - companies won't integrate with an address-changing tool if no one's using it and no one will use an address-changing tool that doesn't integrate with many c

For at least a few days, don't do anything at all that's job-related. Getting let go unexpectedly is usually a big shock, and your instinct will probably be to try and get back into a paying job as quickly as possible. But while you're stil
