I agree, it's a social hack of sorts that he's using for advertisement, which is cool, but abuse of it would render favorites meaningless and it would become spam. However, I could see how if @pepsi wanted to favorite a tweet by @averagejoe

Seems like a consulting approach as opposed to technology sales approach worked better. More specifically it was the technique of requirements gathering/engineering that did the trick. This is absolutely necessary in waterfall methods of so

Design/typography isn't my thing. I couldn't tell you much about them, but I would imagine you'd like to have some sort of interesting collage of quotes where the typefaces complimented each other. That's probably the most important aspect,

Since you're sort of competing against the vibrancy of photos, why not consider allowing typography choices?

I disagree. The function being used to evaluate speakers serves is NOT to achieve an arbitrary percentage split on genders of speakers, but to select the best speakers for a particular topic. If that happens to render a 100% female panel, s

I suppose it is cheaper for them to pay another country to take the power and maintain the rates they are charging for energy than to have to pay the people back when it goes negative. They are trying to get their investment back. That's a

"Education has never been a meritocracy and it never will be." > Never? In practice I think it could be. I think the crux of the problem the author has is that the merits that the education and society looked for was not actual understa

The lack of forgiveness that the internet has shown to individuals is frightening, (insert biblical persecution allegory here).

There were a lot of websites like this (anonymous gossip) when I was in college that would come up, get really popular and then someone would get a lot of flack, be emotionally traumatized, and the universities would petition for a take dow

A good rule of thumb for determining overreaction is who swears first. The student may have felt entitled to try out multiple classes and come in late, but the professor felt entitled to make a private matter public, public shame her.

Eh, I was just trying my friend's apple tv with my macbook pro and was quite disappointed with the lag and sheer poor quality of the experience combined with the remote intermittently working with the tv and/or the macbook pro. Personally,

It's a 'do the ends justify the means' issue. I'm kind of shocked that the above the fold comments here no one seems to take into account that France is engaged in conflict. As a result, if you have an easy to access well written article, w

I think the point the author makes goes beyond the shallowness of 'he's posting on social media, what hypocrisy, look at his externalization!' I think the take away is that by our society's knee jerk reaction to share a picture or write a s
