Good analogy. Another one is email. If you used an email address for personal conversations and commercial transactions, that should not entitle you to keep the email address. You should give your email address to another person that wants

He's definitely a squatter. If you own something and you don't use it, you're a squatter. I own an old original Nintendo that I haven't used all year. That's why if someone comes into my house and takes it, it'

EXACTLY. Same thing happened to a friend of mine who was working overseas all year long. Somebody just moved in and started living in his house. And just tossed all of his personal belongings out. To be honest, I kind of disliked my friend

This COULD make sense. Are all other names taken up on twitter? Is it difficult to tweet without using the @N name? I never used twitter before.

if you think being an asian woman in tech will give you a "boost" you're absolutely wrong. Not even in China will being an asian woman give you a "boost" in the tech industry.

Buy Sega. Release Dreamcast 2 for hardcore gamers. Continue with Wii brand for younger/casual players.

no, i didn't assume anything. I reason that if you play a TRICK from the beginning, you don't really care to win. You're playing for a good time. To amuse non chess players.

I don't think Carlsen was at all certain Gates would fall for those tricks. I just don't think Carlsen would care if he lost. People are assuming a lot of things. They're assuming that Carlsen wants to win at all costs. The s

Gates is a below average player. If you're 50 years old and haven't picked up a bat since little league, you're a below average baseball player. he's a below average chess player playing with 2 minutes on the clock. 30 s

you're surprised that Carlsen played a "fake" for fun game with 30 seconds on the clock because he could easily LOSE? And because his reputation would take a total DIVE? And also because he's not the NUMBER ONE bullet pl

they need to because of the competition with steam. But I don't think they were ever really in love with the idea. The latest generation seems different though.

There are a lot of great indie titles out there. It takes some work though searching through them and trying to find the good ones. But ps4, nintendo, xbox are all starting to show support for indie titles and it is not hard to get a game o

it's a huge insecurity thing. That's all they know. That's all they have. They have no idea how to start on a new innovative game. They've never done it, and they don't have the people in place to take the initiativ

what the heck is "real" science? A lot of the greatest science started the same exact way. Making connections that nobody else could see. Finding purposefully playful, surprising analogies. Doing things so ludicrous that everyone

writing can help you organize your thoughts and that can lead to new epiphanies. Writing helps you explore, helps you think, and helps you find ideas. Some people really hate that though. They don't like non-linear thinkers who use ana

There's a lot of javascript people at yahoo. This means that engineers have more control now and have a say in major decisions, and they are leveraging their talent. Node version 0.10 for MOST OF YAHOO!? Somebody in charge over there j

i guess that could be true. The other day i was trying to convince someone that you cannot use a mathematical conjecture if a proof has not been found yet. I think I succeeded.

by jrs99 13y ago
Not everything needs to be scientific. Even a lot of mathematics is figured out first using intuition. The proof may come much much later. Some people do have intuition that is superior to other people. They can see patterns and connections

we don't even know yet if it takes it too far. What happens when 2017 comes along and facebook has lost exactly 80.00% of users since 2014? Will it still have been an analogy taken too far?

by jrs99 13y ago
it's only a bad forecast if it doesn't happen. if it does happen, then it's a freaking awesome INTUITIVE forecast. Okay, so there's no science behind it? It doesn't matter. There's no science behind a lot of th

that's why I don't think what they do really matters. This is the next Zynga. You could tell that Zynga wasn't legitimate from a thousand miles away. People that clone games lose. Always. They don't know what to do when

if all these things were interesting to people and they couldn't get used to it, we wouldn't be able to function as a society.

He's clearly put a LOT of research into this and knows what he's talking about. For example, I do agree with him that everyone in Japan has a job. One of my friends is Japanese and doesn't really have a job and lives in Inter

reminds me of febreze. possibly wasn't febreze, but when it was unscented and removed bad odors, people didn't like it. But people loved it when they added a light scent to it.
