I can speak for myself. Wellbutrin made me paranoid, and Lexapro and Effexor had less serious but still life-altering side effects. Neither were worth the minor improvement in mood. (Further, they just make me incredibly apathetic.) I'm gla

People who grew up poor often feel a responsibility to one's community over wealth. I know from growing up in a middle class family that I feel no real compulsion to wealth. That social worker money is enough, and that's what matters.

In many ways, the SAAS world is worse for free software. First, have you lost freedom 0. How many times have you heard about someone being kicked out of Facebook or Twitter, for example? You have lost an unstated freedom - the freedom to co

Then, it's simple. Reject the app. Say it violates TOS. Have a nice day. I'm starting to think that the best way to do a big application is to start small and keep getting bigger. I haven't heard these horror stories of review problems once

The one thing I'm not sure about foodoro is... I understand paying one shipping price if I'm buying from a food catalog. However, buying six things from six vendors gets expensive pretty quickly. (Ten dollars of shipping for three fairly li

It's much easier to find 10,000 to 250,000 people who have the same values as you and can create a new culture. While I wouldn't be interested in a libertarian society, I might be interested in a completely secular system with full equality

...and learning a new language every few years isn't an inefficiency?

The advantage would be living with people who shared the same values as I do and not being obstructed by the federal laws most of us would find distasteful.

Supply and demand will solve that, if profitable enough. Further, the current navies would have little interest in protecting these micro-countries being competitors as they are.

If they can figure out how to be safe in large storms, and a solution to piracy, I'd absolutely be interested in living on one. I also am curious how they will take care of the fuel costs. (Cruise ships are some of the most fuel inefficient

"I don't have the time" is more often code for "I don't have the energy." For those who are moonlighting, how do you avoid burnout?

Gah - when I was out of school, they could have paid me minimum wage and I'd be thrilled to take a job to be a great hacker's "hands." I can't imagine many better ways to see a master work.

There are many possible answers depending on the type of application. How difficult is the view? That can be one person, or a very small piece depending. In some types of games, AI can be enough for one person. Business logic or the model,

One of the things that makes Strauss's writing so fun is that he's willing to immerse himself into a culture so thoroughly. He has the ability to so thoroughly pass the guards of reason (like, I'm too poor to worry about this stuff!) for th

What you call a bright side of hyper-locality and the "real world," I call a civil war in which religious and sexual minorities will be left without a side and mercilessly slaughtered.

The function key is completely on the wrong side of the keyboard! I can't believe i can't page down with a single hand. (And no, scrolling down is not the same - it slows me down quite a bit when I have to track where to continue reading.)

I'm not saying that professors aren't interested in teaching at state schools, but I have found that pressure is as high or higher for professors to publish.

If you can figure out a better filtration system than your competitors here: http://coffeetea.about.com/od/water/tp/waterbottles.htm -- you may have a more viable idea than you think. Tucson's tap water is pretty bad. It's chlorinated min

Look at that "hasn't slept in six months" thing again. This tends to play on someone's emotions quite heavily. To be fair, it is quite possible that in a media-based startup like a newspaper, the company did make these people a star. Howeve

Observation: Many of these are the same people who were night owls in college, and often would work the same amount of hours if allowed to come in at noon. :)

I appreciate side effect programming, but I really think the java criticism is unwarranted. The first thing I think of is: "How do you do a CRUD app in your functional language?" I enjoyed ML when we were doing it in school. However, I've o

I've heard of quite a few Israeli startups. FilesX being bought by IBM comes to mind off the top of my head. Bangalore is also starting to see its share of startups.

Depends... If my contract runs out and an opportunity doesn't line up, there is a backup startup plan. How many people are writing iPhone apps due to unemployment? How many engineers are willing to take a chance on a startup because there's

1. You are forgoing current wages for potential future profit. I might be willing to bootstrap a project where the first year's expectation of profit is low, but I wouldn't develop the same project for 15,000 dollars (as an example.) Are yo
