This seems to be very similar to the dating problem. Instead of asking students to give preference on college/course combination, maybe they should be asked about what matters most to them. Are they looking for a college close to their

The body/mind they expected to be able to rent out has literally no value as an asset. Agreed. I wonder if the concept of job makes sense anymore.

It's interesting that Google chooses to create new companies for problems orthogonal to its core purpose, instead of choosing to diversify itself as a company into multiple industries. Is this a common phenomenon or is it something tha

I disagree when you say that its easier to program web front-end than Qt/GUI application. Although improvements are being made, they are mostly patches rather than rethinking the design given the current usage. I do agree with the auth

If they can do it in real-time, this can replace the LIDAR used in self-driving cars, which can reduce the cost and make them affordable.

I am not sure whether I should feel happy that someone higher in power took their time to talk about something important, or feel disappointed that someone actually has to talk about something that seems obvious. I guess we all live in very

Good point. However, eBay was a classified and auctions site and paypal was complimenting it. The examples suggested by OP are more competitive in nature. The only case I can think of is Instagram on Facebook. However, even in that case, In

In certain way, cost of doing business has reduced because of cloud service providers. However, network effects and the scale requirements still add up and make it hard for startup's to work on their long term vision. It would be nice

Messaging is important because it provides a person-to-person communication platform for arbitrary data. It blends in the rich interaction capabilities offered by internet with more personalized and free-form interaction offered by telephon

Yes, I was making a point about how my thoughts always end up in that kind of a question and I was proposing a way to look at life that might avoid such depressing situations.

Well, we do know about evolution, and you can make some inferences about the utility of life and that of our species based on that. Would it be based on partial information? Maybe. The point is - you can give any meaning that you want to yo

This article resonates with me. I find myself very often in this situation of trying to find meaning in what I do. When you tie this to evolution and what more or less appears to be biological machines trying to eek out some meaning in othe

It's so strange to notice that we live in a democratic society but work in authoritarian organizations (for employees at least). By getting rid of unions, we made it clear as to who owns the companies and who have rights within the com

It's good that someone is looking into making the most important electronic communication mechanism secure. Making email secure without figuring out a way to make the architecture spam-proof would probably end up in a situation where p

So instead of directly logging in using the ID provider like FB/Google/Microsoft, which are also the email providers, you send an email to those accounts and ask user to take one extra step of checking and clicking the link. It se

If they made 40 copies of the prototype, they know exactly how to make it - don't they? Why can't they make one more?

If you think that Android doesn't crash, you must have never used it. My Samsung Android phone crashed on me so consistently on a daily basis - I couldn't even use apps like Google Maps or WhatsApp because they ALWAYS crash the sy

Most of the issues that I had with Surface Pro seems to have been resolved by this update: - Gets pretty hot - new haswell processors seem to be doing better - Short battery life of 5 hrs - 75% improvement brings it to around 8-9 hrs, which
