I don't know why you've been grayed out. Skills are skills. Even if you don't have the latest iPhone or Android flavor TangoUniformVoo 8.9. Considering that i'm a bit rusty (no allusion intended), if i'm certified

"Maybe I am reading too much in to it...." No, i don't think that you're reading too much into it. In fact, i like your analysis. I'll have to rewatch it, again. LOL especially concerning "unity" vs. &qu

"Protectionist trade policies are common in Japan too...." There are advantages to the way Asian economists do it. For example, not only in Japan, but especially in Korea, cell phones were standard even by the mid-90's..

"Ayn Rand's ideas come from a propaganda campaign launched eight years after she published the Fountainhead?" Yes, I have to wonder how much of "Rational Choice Theory/Philosophy" originated at RAND. And I wonder even more, how much (that

I'm not sure I'd dismiss your argument so quickly. If one considers the "just" to be the best decision, given the circumstances, then most criminals are trying to be just. They may badly need money for their family. Or perhaps to feed a

What struck me was close to the opposite. The proposals in the article make me fear a future dystopia, where no one believes in free will, where the average person is degraded by a dehumanizing science. Like some science fiction horror st

"that's why you should train your mind" henryw's summary is good, but it misses that point: an important part of the article is developing the mind over time. The same way one gradually learns a skill like programming, one can learn to dev

Most of the things that I thought made it interesting are actually done by Java's Robot API: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.... For example, being able to automate double clicking and getting screen captures (

I think the number 107,000 is the number of janitors and cleaners with degrees, not total janitors and cleaners. Note the author says "Over 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degree" - 317,000 is in the same column as the 107,000.

TechCrunch assumes the answer is a phone number. But maybe you're on to something. And the answer is something like "QUIT MIT JOIN STANFORD".

Maybe it shouldn't be that surprising that most of the big ideas seem to be behind us in computing. Automobiles have been fundamentally the same for decades (speaking broadly). It could be that new areas of technology are more like explor
