I've found that with enough effort and time I could eventually learn any programming concept. The only exception I've encountered in my career is CSS. I'm no more effective at it than I was when I first tried using it.

You didn't live in the world where the extra supply of apartments didn't exist. Maybe the rents didn't go down, but you don't know how high they would have gotten. Positive effects can exist even if they don't sing

I highly doubt the best long-term policy for a city's residents is to have a housing shortage and for many to live on the street because of natural light concerns.

Seems to me like a failure of imagination to insist that some buildings can not support this

I wonder what effect this light will have on nonhuman animals, especially bees and mosquitos. If there was a specific frequency of light that repelled mosquitos, I want _that_ to be used by wifi

I don't understand the point, nobody is saying that Tunisia's startup scene will rival the US

Talent pool is not limited, it is a highly educated and tech literate society.

A VC backable startup by definition has to scale to greater than 12 million people. If you're point is "why doesn't author just start a small business?" then you are seriously missing the point

Great person does not imply good person. My comment was about great people

If 1000 people read this and only 100 of them meet your criteria, and it's good advice, than he would have helped 100 people. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here

I feel the same way, and I think it's really nice read for someone who's a decade or so into their career and has been head down chasing their interests im obscurity. The privelege of doing that is its own reward but it's eas

I revisit my favorite recipes and while each experiment isn't always better over a long enough time span they do seem to taste better
