I am an American who has lived in Norway for several years. I have to deal with this crap every year and, when the time comes to choose between passports, I am honestly not sure which choice I will make. I love US, as I spent my formative y

Nice work! Suggestion: include a way to delete objects that have been added. It might also be nice to be able to flip or rotate them. Also, you have reindeer horns but no big red nose?! Maybe add that too? http://www.christmafy.c

I just finished my master's thesis on hardware founders and entrepreneurs in cleantech ( http://amiculous.com/thesis.pdf ). She is following something called the "case study research method." It is an accepted

True, but, that is not the issue. While both men and women are indeed needed for baby-making, the burden of child care falls disproportionately on women in our society. So, male founders with young children can reasonably expect their child

If they wanted to back up this claim "...from the start I've made sure YC had an environment that is supportive of women," they would provide affordable childcare.

I am from Chicago, but went to school at Grinnell. We used to drive alternately to Des Moines or Iowa City on weekends for something different. I preferred Iowa City, but Des Moines was great too. Anyway, my point is that the state of Iowa

It looks like Munira attended Stanford as an undergraduate, as she is an alumni of the Mayfield Fellows program [1]. However, it is not clear whether she graduated. [1] http://cgi.stanford.edu/group/mfp/cgi-bin&#x2

This is an excellent example of two things: 1) How to not design a study. There is no control group! 2) How not to do scientific reporting. There was no critical thinking or fact checking involved in the writing of this piece. If there had

The "elephant in the room" of this article was wealth redistribution. Technological advancements should make it possible for people to work 15-20 hours a week. In theory. The problem is that those same technological advancements

I think the user created "echo chamber" is a real problem that is mentioned in passing here, but not really addressed. Many times, friends have told me that they either hid or simply unfriended connections that posted political or

Norway has an excellent subsidized preschool program. It is called it kindergarten here, but is for children age 1-5. Children start public school at age 6 and most parents have paid leave for one parent or the other for a child aged 0-1. T

The problem is that fonts are used to signify tone. When I see Comic Sans, the tone I read the text in is "cartoon dog." Although this particular interpretation may be just me, I believe many people have similarly toned readings (

While it might be possible to print PVC pipes that are waterproof at the same level of reliability as traditionally manufactured ones, this seems rather overly optimistic. Bringing in pre-made pipes will probably be required for quite som

Not to sound harsh, but you seem to have an unrealistic expectation about how rewarding a given job should be. The _vast_ majority of working folk do it for the pay check, then clock out at the end of the day and proceed to the part of thei

The author had some valid points. i.e., Christensen cherry picked cases to support his theory. There are many cases which contradict the theory and she supplied some as convincing counter examples. That being said, I don't really know
