I believe the issue is more than Tunisia is not a country of interest, even for people who are interested in foreign policy. Take a look at the average person who actually follows foreign news - countries like Iran, Brazil, Argentina, Egypt

In other words, you are saying African-American culture is the sole reason for all the problems blacks face in the U.S? I'm sure that's helpful to the 6 year old child when he is given the book that explains the two different culture choice

China is successful with these things because they have a large number of excess staff, and the staff are very obedient. Britain typically has too few staff, and the staff are very independent. A person who has been to a chinese restaurant

If email were owned by a single company, would it be worth $70 billion in valuation? I think it would be worth much more than that, and that's why facebook is so valuable. Facebook is undervalued at $70 Billion.

The questions are very academic-like. I can answer the questions, but I learned the answers in university, not on-the-job. If I'd not done a CS degree, I would not be able to answer those questions.

In 20 years people won't understand CDs either, or why people would carry around plastic as big as 3 iPods to play 12 songs.

The graph seems wrong. For example opennet (where they got their data), says there is no censorship in Nigeria, but they mark Nigeria as being censored.

There are many venues for suicidal people to discuss their issues, and people are still committing suicide everyday. This is not to replace anything existing, it's just to reduce the number and address those who are currently not being help

Well, it could hardly have ended much worse than it did right now, could it?

That's why it's to Iraq. Not many westerners will go to Iraq unless they are suicidal.

I've been pushing this idea: "A half-way house for suicidal people" Basically, if you're intending to commit suicide, you simply register for the project, and you get an all-expenses paid trip to Iraq, Afghanistan or Congo or some other rea

The chances of you making more money with your startup are pretty low. The chances of you being very stressed out are pretty high. It makes little sense, what you're planning. You have a steady income now and a good skillset, and you want t

I believe facebook shares will be the biggest share rise ever in history. You know why? Because it will run across facebook virally. Anyone who makes money on facebook stocks will announce it to his 450 friends, and so on. The facebook IPO

This is trivial software to write. Why does someone not quickly whip up a web app that does the picture thing as described in the experiment, then we can personally test if we have ESP senses or not? Specs: Two buttons - ESP mode or non-ESP

First of all, facebook is going to contact you shortly because you are infringing on their trademark. They are quite vigilant about this. Secondly, it would have been a bit more interesting to actually post the results, and not just the sit

It can work. But there is a cost - you may annoy the guy. See, if you fail, then the guy will remember you negatively. If you succeed, but cannot offer value, you lose also. I believe that's what people try to avoid.

The theory above is short term (get a date), when there is also the long term consideration (marry her, have kids). If you are an average joe, the chances of you having kids with a hot top model are, very frankly, very low. And we guys know
