For those seeking efficiency, accuracy, rigor, error bounds, confidence intervals, sigmas and such: get over it. This is fun; pure fun; a great way to teach your kid how cool science is.

The announcement was not "sudden", but the date has been in discussion publicly for over 6 months. In fact Toyota agreed to invest 50M in Tesla only if it IPOed before the end of the year.

I have heard this so many times from my non-tech friends: "Your friend just took a crap & tweeted about it? Power to you" "The popularity of twitter is testament to the stupidity of the human race" I personally never tweet. I only follo

Woot (Matt Rutledge's brilliance) has tapped into impulse shopping. You don't really go to Woot wanting to buy a "Sandisk Clip 2GB MP3 Player", but you go there out of curiosity and if it seems interesting enough, you buy it. Many others ar

1. Do you do international? I see a lot of need for letters to Mexico, China and India. 2. You could charge a lot of money for handwritten notes. In fact, I would pay $20 for someone to hand write a letter to my grandma, once a year, or so.

Very nice website. For my kid, the actual story is not such an important part of the bed time routine. The fact that I am in her room, comforting her while she winds down and spending some time before she sleeps, is key. Swapping me with an

Craigslist is the epitome of simplicity. Any change would complicate it and reduce it's usefulness. I think the guys at CL understand that.

If your goal is to assign blame, it can never be done on such a naive scale. The US has very well written liability laws, e.g. for Q2 every party involved assumes some liability. For every car crash, the individual assume some liability (th
