I think he could launch a whole series of notebooks with smart/funny covers. Or someone else could. I don't think it's just the PR in this case. This guy has a good product idea

That is an awesome writeup, wildbunny. We all suffer with facebook's temperamental platform. There are a couple points i would add actually: - At this point it's impossible to maintain virality without using "game dynamics", i.e. some sort

"This won't change." Of course it's a bubble. It's the law and finance that sustains it. Inevitably, it will change, and the asians may have to pioneer it.

They did not reinvent the wheel, they invented a new thing that reminds of a wheel. I can't believe we are actually arguing this post. Basically, it stems from the misuse of the word "reinvent" in the media instead of "revolutionize"

There are science sections in quora as well, but people tend to post too many general/popsci/naive questions.

That is the kind of thinking that is holding life sciences back: lack of openness, obsession with centuries old journals etc. Starting in comp. Neuroscience, and coming from a physics background I was shocked by how little info neuroscienti

Do you think something like http://pubcentral.net could be useful in that direction?

As an outsider (i studied physics), I always thought computer science was NOT about programming. I find it fascinating that you CS people can work on the foundations of computation, like P=NP (see, only know the basics). Programming to me s

ok let me rephrase: even if you wanted to buy a reasonable copy of a renoir, the price you paid corresponded to man-hours of labour. It was a compensation for something.

I followed your advice re size, but the default sizes are just too big, so big it's ugly. I ended up making everything bigger than it was, but not default-size-big. Maybe your advice is best for blogs.

Yet sometimes the medium defines the message. Until the 19th century, you would pay to watch a theatrical or listen to live music because it was the only fair price available. When you wanted a picture of yourself, you had to pay Renoir to

Analogies with the past are not a good guide. The internet is nothing like the previous broadcast/communication mediums. Imho, we don't need to look back into the old practices to create the laws of the digital realm. This is uncharted terr

Techcrunch may be over because it has become irrelevant to the community of entrepreneurs/developers. Michael sometimes writes an interesting column. The rest is like a TMZ for the rich people of the silicon valley. There are real issues li
