I came here to say exactly this. I have been following Buffet/Graham's value investing principles for ~ 5 years and have well outperformed the market (S&P) in that time span. If you follow their approach, it's pretty cle

Does anyone know what software he's using to display those charts and graphs? Is that a 3rd party app or a custom in house dashboard? I've been looking for something like that for my SaaS business.

As an American living in Europe for the last year, I have drawn the exact opposite conclusion about tipping culture. Many of the restaurants I have been to (in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium) have, by American standards, h

You're right, I don't think citizenship is a requirement. I guess this was my vague way of saying that these prisoners are in a legal gray area as to what court they would be tried in, what their legal rights are, and what would constitute

It doesn't look like anyone on this thread has even tried to look for what this man is accused of doing and why he's in Gitmo in the first place. You can find a dossier from the US DoD of this man at the NYTimes' own website: http://projec

Great looking redesign! It'd be cool if someone added harder challenges (like CS algorithms or something) that you could use for programming interviews.

Judging by their use of chameleon, and their general UI choices, I think we can expect an iOS client from github as well in the future (using the same codebase as this desktop version). I think that OSX + iOS > Windows users in that reg

I regularly record my ideas like this. Most have never been implemented, but I find the exercise of writing them down and thinking them through helpful and rewarding in itself. If anyone is interested, the site is free and hosted here: htt

Yeah it's still a double standard because you're discounting people's experience for a 'category' whether that category is 'lawyer' or 'MBA' or 'state school grad'. For example: "Not sure why I'm meant to be influenced by how an MBA stumble

Uh what? I like how everyone in this thread is complaining about judging an applicant by where their degree came from while simultaneously singling out people who are 'MBA types'. Double standard much?

How about giant scrolls that could be used as blueprints? They could be networked between the contractor on site and the engineers and architects at the office. Currently whenever there's a change in the plan an entire blueprint page must b

It would be awesome to pair this with haptic feedback and actually be able to 'touch' the blocks as you're stacking them, etc.

What is meant by privately here? Does it mean you can rate the employers anonymously? Does it mean the ratings are behind a login/paywall? It doesn't make sense if it was completely private, otherwise, how could potential employees benefit?

That doesn't make any sense in the context of watch ads and doesn't explain why the time would be synchronized across manufacturers and watch designs. The watchmaker could easily change the time for each individual watch to avoid hiding fea

I agree that this app would be awesome if it ran on real computers. It would be amazing if the app could track the user's progress/ability using MIDI and be able to show errors / redo problematic parts as well. More of an emphasis on lear

Not sure about the patents but your link says: the Apple patent proposes interweaving photo sensors alongside each pixel projector whereas the linked video shows photo sensors around the edge of the screen, which they claim is superior to
