In the current state of the web, nobody is going to beat Google at search. Google has been tweaked and squeezed for every last ounce of searchy-goodness over the past decade, and it shows by how they dominate the web. (With that said thou

37Signals seems to me like the edgy anti-conformist artsy kid who tries to be creative by doing the opposite of what is usually done. That or they try to be uselessly introspective, like the plaques in front of the majority of the meaningl

you have to justify that you are in the business to make money, not as a hobby ("Liebhaberei"). The IRS operates the same way here, otherwise everyone would be starting up "businesses" for their various hobbies and deducting as much as po

Given that one of Obama's advisers is currently pushing another stimulus package [1], and given the fact that Obama has absolutely blown the records in every category of spending possible for this upcoming budget, I believe our plan is to

They try to make deals that favor them without regard to the interests of the other person I don't see how exactly this makes one a "shithead" though. Don't you always try to get the best deal for yourself first and then if the other per

Usually you have very productive posts on here, but I'm down-voting this one because it's BS. There are extremely few elite athletes who can simply step into their sport with little training and discipline and perform to their max, in the s

What is really unethical is retarding process, and not allowing people to have the best possible medical care. Oh, give me a break here. Take your emotions out of the argument. Cutting edge medical experimentation does not necessarily e

The ethics of messing with people are not the main barrier, they are no barrier. It's the legal restrictions But ethics and morality ARE the barrier. Sure, you have plenty of scientists who wouldn't blink an eye before doing just about a

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would think that harvesting a batch of puppies for organs/cells probably has far fewer ethical considerations than when messing with people. Since you're all about decreasing the cost of experiments and regula

Also, most people like freedom to drive whenever, whereever they want. Count me in that group. I rarely ever use cruise control (even on long trips) because I've noticed the lack-of-focus effect. I also drive a stick and when I had a re

I always wonder about these people who claim to have adjusted sleep cycles (i.e. 28 hours). Personally I find that I also drift to staying awake later and later if I'm not exercising during the week. If I get in a solid hour workout daily

You summed it up very well. "Profitable in a few months" means you're unprofitable. We can draw up all sorts of extrapolations based on preorders and expected order rates etc., but until the past month's income statement shows green, a b

Google Voice is extremely simple to setup and use. Even if you want to dive into the "Settings" which is probably the most "complex" part of the app, each little settings item has a tiny question-mark that you can click and a bubble explain

I noticed this effect very early on as a kid, where I was often hacking away at some new project or trying to undermine some system. Some of my ideas were pretty exciting, so usually I'd be bursting to pass on my excitement to someone else

To teach English, you should know another language too, isn't it? Nope. In fact if you are the stereotypical American with no accent, speak great English and know none of the foreign language you are usually far better off because they o

logical grounds for dismissing all evidence I don't know why Evolutionist trolls continue to insist that ID advocates "toss out all the evidence". You are aware that the same "evidence" such as the vast fossil record, and insane complexit

I think it's hilarious how your article sums up in two sentences exactly what I've been trying to say in 1,000+ words in these comments and succinctly summarizes why I still remain justly skeptical: Moreover, efforts to create more life in

Given that any mutation might occur, one genome might evolve to a horrifyingly huge number of children genomes over many, many generations. Deletions and copying allow for potentially any change to be made to the organism, and it will be a

I don't get how hard this is for people to logically grasp. Scientific conjecture doesn't logically hold water until we stop assuming that X->Y and actually empirically show or mathematically demonstrate that X->Y. In physics we ha

Selectively setting the bar ridiculously high can be an indicator of bias. Actually it's an indicator of skepticism and intellectual honesty, exactly what any scientist should have... As Feynman would say, a "kind of leaning over backward

I'm fully aware of how poker works, and the majority of people playing the game lose money. You've got a distinct minority of people (I'd guess < 10%) who win the money from the stupid poker players. Since I am one of those stupid peop
