Also i know, at least for me, that when i find myself wanting to take notes most is whenever its a spur of the moment kind of idea that i dont want to lose. In that kind of scenario, i find that a small notebook and pencil is still superior

Honestly, who was sitting there in the middle of a CS class at Standford taking notes and found themselves so absolutely bored to a point of absurdity that they frustratingly sighed out loud, "man, if only there was a way more exciting

Its really not the CEOs job to ensure that everybody gets paid what is moralistically fair to the employees because he has a fudiciary responsibility to the share holders to maximize the return on their investment. What this means is doing

find another job offer that is willing to pay you what you feel you are worth and then approach your CEO and ask for the raise stating why you feel you deserve higher compensation. If they flat out turn you down, then state that you have an

I haven't wrote it yet because I doubt ill ever want to write another book after this considering i dont think ill ever be able to come up with a better story premise than this one. The major problem in telling a story like this, is t

hmmm, in the book i want to write one of the main protagonist as an asexual black 16 yr old kid who lives in a racially segregated logging town in north Georgia during the 50s. And yeah, so in the story he gets lynched because he is spotted

Theres something called a parental control and last i checked they were pretty effective for concerned parents. Google does not need to be in the business of trying to provide parental oversight over creators who just so happen to be minors

Just because a corporation doesnt pay any corporate tax, that doesnt mean the Government doesnt get paid their fair share when their employees pay an income tax on the salary thats paid to them by the corporation. Having a 35% corporate tax

there is a technical reason why pianos have more than one string... equal temperament tuning does not sound right on a piano and the other strings allow somebody to change the notes soft/hard dynamics without changing the notes pitch.

He isn't the only person who talks about the dopamine driven feedback loops. Chamath Palihapitiya, who was one of the first engineers at facebook, talks about how they all used to gather in meeting rooms and have intense back and forth

I tend to think Facebook is more like a slot machine than anything else, where you are constantly putting in something of value (your posts, pics, etc) in hopes of getting something of greater value back (likes/shares, friend requests,

So basically what they want is somebody to start working on solving the fake news problem? Can anybody explain to me why exactly we find it increasingly necessary to try and censor the internet?

I think this does give an incentive to reporters to paint things in a more black or white biased one sided narrative. You can't just have an article that talks about the good and the bad and expect people to feel like they ought to buy

Fiat currency is not convenient when it comes to international trade. And it is not convenient as a method of storing large masses of wealth. The fact is, if you were once super rich in Venezuela and you had all your wealth in stacks of Ven

Are you talking about credit cards or debit cards? There is a big difference when making a comparison to bitcoin. The reason why bitcoin doesn't have these features is that there isn't a bank sitting between the two parties doing

This is another reason why i think all these crypto based startups that are using ICOs as an alt means of funding are totally delusional and devaluing their product. You take all the value out of your platform if you take away the requireme

I think what people need to realize about cryptocurrencies is that they aren't going to derive their value from being convertible to fiat currency. Rather cryptocurrencies are going to be revolutionary in the sense of how they can be c

there is a pretty good episode on numberphile that explains why dividing by zero is undefined. Basically the reason why 1/0 = 0 is wrong is the fact that you cant reproduce 1 by taking the answer 0 and multiplying it by 0 to get the nu

I think mandatory self driving mode in highly congested areas is the more sure fire way to defeat traffic jams. The reason why traffic jams exist in the first place is because of issues that arise from the limitations a human driver poses.

blockchain is useful outside the context of cryptocurrencies because it represents a verifiable chain of custody. For example, imagine how blockchain could solve the problem of a patient who has control of their health records. In the curre
