So far the "real name" policy is the only major, undemocratic, incident that I've seen from a centralized online service. Does anyone know of any other incidents that make case against centralized servers? Nonetheless, I agree with him that

Push Pop's first publication did have a novel interface, but it was fundamentally no different than what we are used to. It was a book with other forms of media embedded within it. I can get behind Inkling being revolutionary because it see

You obviously aren't aware of their plans with the new office: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bxuVyoeXcVk/ThSWd0Svi7I/AAAAAAAAAD... I think the Paul Graham statue will tie the room together perfectly.

It's so surreal reading their comments as "former employees." This wasn't the case a few months ago. Good god I'm getting old, now I know how the poor people at plastic.com feel.

I have a naive notion of business, but does your startup idea necessarily have to be a for-profit venture?

I'll be honest, if Twitter moved to a place like Cypress Creek, I think their employees will be more than happy to move.

That's it, I'm admitting it. "Tom, no, not among the hall of nerds." No, it's the best time. Everyone, I have an announcement to make! I...am kind of like a hipster. reveals fedora hat and threadless shirt <<My word! They do exist

I'm sorry, but on pi day, I eat a whole pie. I am not settling for half a pie.

Well that might lead to awkward situations. Donny, Steven, Eric, and Bob have joined the Freeversation Anon: "Hey guys how's it going." Anon2: "Donny cheated with Mary." Anon: "Okay, who said that?" Anon: "Eric it was you wasn't it?" Anon

You only made a case against the lipid hypothesis, which Michael Pollan also criticized in his book, so you have fallen into his trap of eating healthy and didn't even know it.

Of course, the experts have a better sense of why these advices work (that's why I trust Marion Nestle's advice more than Michael Pollan's). You're right, I meant processed in the industrial sense (you can consider tofu processed out of tha

I'm not arguing what "nature intended us to" do (the human body is more adaptable than what the advocates of the Paleo diet take into consideration). I'm referring more to certain people with health problems who eat mainly fast food or food

by ilovecomputers 16y ago
Also, don't eat boxed foods or foods that went through multiple stages of processing. In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan spells it out very well, but I'll just give you my simple definition: Eating healthy is as close to eating dirt witho

What does it matter? These complaints of decline in community quality is all superficial. In the end, all that matters is how you use a site. What is it that you want out of these sites? Expert Opinion? Helpful articles? The Zeitgeist among

Having more people is a blessing and a curse. Same with having a tight nit group of people. With more people, the pro is that there is more activity. With this, you have an effective mechanical turk of some sort since there are so many peop

I wouldn't say New York is lacking a geek scene. They have a major hackerspace of all things: http://www.nycresistor.com/

If this becomes successful after planning a number of different Hack Clubs, please do something like TEDx where others who wish to accumulate the powers of geekistry ( cough like me) can work off your experience via online resources. That

I'm not criticizing higher education. My tongue-in-cheek comment was a reference to the book The Man Who Knew Infinity where G H Hardy expressed fear that teaching Ramanujan the details of math might stump his genius by making him feel less
