That makes sense. I guess they would need to be convinced their income potential could benefit greatly with the move.

Yeah, it makes sense that they would never lack for a job! I guess that could make them an even more valuable commodity than an awesome hacker. Hmm, perhaps it would be smart to look for them at a younger age, before they get into an establ

You seem to think that teaching a class tells us something important. Correct. In the context of a presidency, along with his words, I believe we can infer a regard for the Constitution. And Obama made essentially this point. Take a look

Bottom line: Point 1: You had a problem with me referring to President Obama as a scholar. Regardless of your semantic arguments, dictionaries also define scholar as simply a student or learned person. Point 2: The university statement clar

Not at all. I have reasonably high standards for scholars. This is not about you. It's about the definition in the dictionary. It has as a primary entry for scholar "a distinguished academic". The definition for "professor" from Wikipedia

Both Kennedy and Hitler followed up on their words. Their words were significant because of their actions. John F. Kennedy was assassinated more than a year before his first term as president was up. But thankfully his words live on as

The claim was that he was a constitutional law scholar, not that he was a professor. While there are overlaps between the two groups, neither one is a subset of the other. You're kidding, right? Him being a scholar is an even easier proof

It doesn't matter what he says in a speech. I disagree. Words have both immediate and historical significance and impact, whether by a dictator like Hitler or a president like John F. Kennedy. What matters is what he says via executive o

It would depend on the quality of the ideas. If you could list ideas with clear potential and which you backed up by research that might be something, especially if you did preliminary market validation by speaking with potential customers.

You should have listed more of that quote. Directly above that President Obama said: Now, finally, there remains the question of detainees at Guantanamo who cannot be prosecuted yet who pose a clear danger to the American people. And I hav

I would venture to guess it is impossible to name a president that did not infringe on the rights of citizens. The degree to which any perceived infringement occurs is what is significant. Bush pushed for and succeeded in suspending habea

I claimed that I was quite an expert on usability and intranet design despite the fact that I had never done either before. Basically I winged it. I believe billionaire Mark Cuban said he did this with one of his first companies (MicroSol

Yes, that does seem clearer. Thanks for the clarification. LOL on the "extremely suave, charming men" as it might describe one of my brothers. My mom says he could "charm a nun out of some stuff" ;) And I do think he is a bit manipulative (

Hrm... I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying there is a correlation for being touchy-feely with backstabbing? I thought you meant touchy-feely as a definition for "a woman's touch" so to speak. In other words, being more sensitive. For

Probably the most obvious is that men are less touchy-feely. Yes, I can believe that as being true. This may have little correlation, but I distinctly remember a trip to a completely female run dental office. This was for oral surgery, an

For me, one of the big obvious lessons on HN is that men communicate and interact differently from women. Can you elaborate on this? I'd love to learn what you notice from your perspective.

I don't think it's nuts. I am no doctor but I have a theory, which is basically as simple as positive versus negative thinking and energy. I absolutely believe eating foods you like, especially if they are naturally healthy, can help with d

Perhaps grellas might shed some light on the laches issue, but aside from that I think this is legit. First, I notice the response from Facebook was that this is "frivolous" not bogus , which implies to me that Mark did sign that document.

An idea is a starting point. That's it. It's like loading the first page into the typewriter for a novel -- the real work has yet to be done, and success is not guaranteed. One reason to keep things private is being able to work (and stumbl

True, and you can always change your logo later if you change your mind. Many companies alter their logo down the line, but my first impression of your site was very positive.

by jeromec 16y ago
At the risk of getting beat down I totally disagree. I think the logo is awesome. The branding hit me in the face hard. "Chomp"? Yep, that looks like a chomp. :) I wouldn't change a thing. It's colorful and communicates the food message qui

Unfortunately, marketing is my weakest suit. I'm more of a developer role. Edit: As a matter of fact this all reminds me of a project I started with an aspiring director, which I still think is a good idea. He approached me with the idea to

Television/film casting is like that. Being from Los Angeles I had dabbled in "extra" work a bit (still have my expired SAG card! :) Casting agents always need certain looks or skills, e.g. someone tall with red hair that can horseback ride

I agree definitions vary, and that can cause confusion. For example, people unsure of what to believe can label themselves agnostic . Some call this "fence sitting". At the same time there is what's called weak atheism and strong atheis

Thanks for the tip about Bookscan! According to Wikipedia BookScan's US Consumer Market Panel currently covers approximately 75% of retail sales. That's pretty wide coverage, which is just what I had in mind. Amazon had occurred to me, but
