The article mentions how most of us are introducted to math and the reaction most of us have to math in later life: "Oh no, I don't want to hear about this, I was so bad at math." The article continues about how wonderful mat

When you receive help acheiving your goal from professionals will you state so on your blog or will you, like Dewalt, avoid mentioning that not-quite-flattering fact? Thanks to the HN detectives some weird jumps in proficiency were found in

I do so very much enjoy the posts that say "Joe is an absolute asshole, pig and chauvinist and should be led out to the shed and shot, but Justine xyz...". It says a lot about society that in order for anyone to criticize a woman,

This article confuses me. 1. Why do work collegues party with each other? Isn't work for work and non-work for non-work? Why mix the two? That's asking for shit, throwing professionality out the window. At my recent places of empl

At this point, I'll believe anything about US spying, no matter how ludicrous. If someone told me that the NSA has spent billions setting up spying stations on Mars and Pluto, I'd figure that it seems like a really small amount co

Just a heads up: was reading the article when all of a sudden some trojan took over the whole site. The background faded to black and something requesting information from me popped up. I closed the tab and put "firstround.com" on

This is shocking... how? The arab empire was built on the slave trade. The whole of Dubai exists solely due to external workers, from engineers to the bricklayers. This should not shock anyone.

The Chinese, bless their hard-working hearts, know exactly how to handle patent trolls: by taking away their power. Unfortunately the US patent system involves so much lobbying money that the chances of it being reformed is exactly zero.
