I appreciate your point. It's nice to have subjects that everyone can discuss. The key is probably to find a healthy balance between personal opinions and evidence-based writing.

Have you ever noticed that HN posts concerning gender discrimination tend to attract hundreds of comments? That's not intrinsically bad. What's questionable is the quality of the comments. It seems that almost all the remarks on t

In The Intelligent Investor, Ben Graham devotes dozens of pages to two simple yet important rules: 1. Never invest money that you can't afford to lose. 2. The value of an investment is always a function of what you paid for it. The com

Tech startups should operate more like public relations firms. They share similar goals — using technology and clever messaging to solve big problems — but modern PR firms such as Edelman and Robert Wood Johnson base their campaigns on rese

I hesitate to make historical comparisons because many are melodramatic, but I think it's fair to relate this time to another dark period in U.S. history. The word "terrorist" has become so powerful that it supersedes judicia

The app is rated "12+" in iTunes because of "Fear / horror-related themes" and "drug and alcohol references." This is surprising for an innocent messaging app, but then again, I've never submitted to

Hot Coffee is an important documentary for all Americans, but parts of it are especially relevant to those of us who work in tech. The movie shows how arbitration clauses, enforced by many telecomm and software companies, threaten our const

Thanks for reviewing the study and offering your take on goalies' behavior. As someone who knows very little about soccer, I was mainly interested in how it might serve as a metaphor for productivity in the workplace. But it was intere

This reminds me of a study focusing on soccer games. It analyzed A) how often players shot goals toward the left, middle and right sides of the net; and B) how often goalies responded by jumping toward the left, middle and right sides. The

One reason for the apparent drop in mobile Internet usage as Americans grow from teenagers to 20-somethings has to do with work. Compared to high school students, young professionals (and, to a lesser degree, college students) are much more

That's interesting! I'll have to check out those game jams as a way to motivate myself. As a developer, I've always wanted to break into making games. And I think your team has handled the artistic aspects of the game very we

The two things that really stand out for me are the graphics and the mood. In addition to having a polished look, the game has an evocative soundtrack. The tagline "Death is not a setback..." got my imagination going and drew me i

That's a good question. No magic bullets, but I think one principle is to keep it casual. A lot of journalists get so into the mindset of shaping a character in their heads that they forget to experience whatever it is they're doi
