The industrial revolution starting in Britain as opposed to China is almost certainly completely unrelated to farming methods, and much more related to politics. China during the industrial revolution was in the grip of a very weak, corrup

Weird. I visited the website and got a message saying "This website abuses rawgit.com. You should complain to its owner."

Well, not to sound condescending, but we'd probably work through it together and see if maybe we need to change our values at some point. One of our values is "Always question everything" so we view it as a bit of future-pro

We specifically talk about how nobody, even myself as the CEO, is "above the law" with regards to our values. We've had several instances where values were invoked as reasons why we shouldn't want to do something that wa

I dip in and out of support tickets pretty often, and I read support tickets a lot. It's really helpful and provides a lot of teachable moments, and it is a big destressor when you see that everything is going really well, just like y

Maybe I wasn't very clear. What I'm interested is the reverse - within my application, using the Prismic UI to author content, that I then expose outside the application. I don't want my application's users to know or c

There's no mention of embedding or "white labeling" prismic within other applications. Is this possible? For example, within product X I need to manage quite a bit of content, but would rather not build in a CMS. Can we in

I really tend to struggle with Tesla whenever I read these kinds of things. On the one hand, I generally feel like they tend to shed light on areas where customers, the media, politicians, etc. are messing with them. On the other, somethi

I just returned from South Africa, where the rangers were emphatic that the stripes are for camouflage. Not in the way we initially think when we hear camouflage either (to make them invisible), but to make it difficult for a predator to s

Another conclusion to draw from this article (which I really enjoyed, by the way) is that Big Data has been turned into one of the most abstract buzzwords ever. You thought "cloud" was bad? "Big Data" is far worse in it

Heh, Hong Kong and Macau are a perfect of example of China having possessions taken from them (by Portugal and Britain) and then being returned. If anything, despite what people locally may have preferred at the time, we're talking a

Hmm, maybe we're simply debating when the Chinese territory solidified? I think it's generally accepted that China's territory has been more or less the same through most of its history (or at least for the last thousand yea

Actually, of the three, China is the only country that has no demonstrable history of imperialism outside of its historically occupied borders. Setting Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan aside (for at various times throughout history, all three of

And yet, without defining what you mean by incubator, the whole thing goes off the tracks immediately. Y Combinator and TechStars identify themselves as accelerators. From Y Combinator's google profile: "Y Combinator is an Americ

I feel like any "X is bullshit" post that doesn't start out with a definition of X or Y or Z is just a glorified troll. Half this thread is going to be people either identifying with or attacking the straw man that's po

This is also a great way to solve a problem. If everyone in the room is stumped, throw out a stupid solution. If nobody can improve on it, then the last solution wins. Works surprisingly well as most people can critique while finding it

This isn't an isolated trend. Scotland as a country is targeting 100pct green energy by 2020, and should be at 50% by 2015. http://grist.org/list/scotland-100-percent-clean-energy-2020...

There's a third path here which the author ignores, but is already well underway both online and throughout the rest of the world - an increased emphasis on non-degreed training programs. Yes, the "for-profit" education mode

Exactly. Everything about how Google handled this is wrong, in my opinion. I couldn't care less about RapGenius - they're just a symptom of the underlying problem which is we don't have any real competition in the search en
