   That makes me wonder: is the nature of Facebook inherently distrusted, since they have so much data, and those who use it spend so much of their lives on it, or is the distrust based more on their privacy record? What if Facebook had a cl

   This is why I love living in NYC. Tech doesn't touch every corner or anywhere near it. The diversity of occupations and activities is grand. That isn't to say that the Bay Area doesn't have these kinds of activities and people, but I can go

   Wow. MITx is very well done. Great UI that feels really coherent and custom-made. Really love the textbook feature.

   Also, don't make your unsubscribe link egg-shell white, 6-point font at the bottom among other legalese. If I'm unsubscribing, my aggravation finding that is only going to make me angrier.

   It is incredible what the body can do on its own. On the other hand, it's a little disappointing that the body can do this under normal circumstances, but society today pushes it to a false sense of efficiency, and people start taking perfo

    Great post. I like how this talks about the other ways going to the gym makes you stronger. I've been falling into a similar second-day routine, though some weeks I try to go every day (and it usually doesn't go that well.) What is the best

    Ideally, yes. However, Congress' approval rate is 13% right now. That's not anywhere near "acting in the interests of the citizens who elected them."

    Well, nothing would stop us from doing so, but whatever governing body has the authority to enforce SOPA will probably have exceptions for certain sites, especially to those who monetarily and non-monetarily supported SOPA itself.

    Huh, you're absolutely right. So people were able to make GoDaddy change their mind by impacting their bottom line. Instead of going through businesses to try to tell the government what the citizens think, and besides writing or calling po

    The only thing this means is that community action actually made a difference. That's immensely reassuring. Can we keep doing this, but for SOPA itself?

    I cannot believe how many people are using the worst domain registrar in existence, even if you don't consider SOPA support. Out of all of the domain registrars, why GoDaddy?

    I find it doubtful that General Dynamics or some other massive government contractor will get a contract for $x million, look at it for a minute, and turn it down because of the ethical ramifications . Not only is that not a factor, but it

    This is a little disheartening. It'll prevent people from expanding their mind in the subject area that they want , and instead, they're told that they should be studying sciences, engineering, business, or something else that'll be more "
