I don't like this description for various reasons. One of which is you're is not the same thing as your: "What if you’re servers go down?"

Twitter is adding value to companies for marketing purposes. What about the old spice stuff? Or various companies reaching out to users when they complain about a product on twitter? It's far easier for companies to do this via Twitter t

Zuckerberg's family wasn't exactly poor, and he went to Harvard. Framing this as like a "rich vs. poor" movie is pretty inaccurate. I think that there is a lot of moral ambiguity in the movie, which is why I dug it.

From my perspective, when I go on Yelp I'd like to see latest/relevant reviews, and search. The other stuff isn't really that important to me.

I've been working on a project for the last year or so (on and off) refactoring code and shifting it from Classic ASP to C#/.NET. I'll say the one thing that would really help would be unit tests on the old code. It's rough transitioning s

I agree that I'm making valuable contributions, but I'm clearly in debt to the society I live in for the opportunities that are available.

Our economy is an ecosystem. I'm a software developer because there is a demand for it, and the only reason this demand exists is because people are educated enough to use my product. How do you determine the line between what one has earn

Change takes time. People started seriously thinking about/hating big banks right after the financial collapse, so it's only been about 2 years. As a simple example more people are starting to use credit unions: http://www.recordonline.co

I never said they were unassailable. Expecting small companies with very little capital to throw money at developers because big companies are being "bad guys" about something and "good guys win" is... not very realistic. If these allegatio

This would be great in theory, but however you cut it, it really sucks when the most capitalized companies are all colluding with eachother to prevent the market from working efficiently.

I would say that those tricks you mentioned are real life skills I use in development.

I go back and forth with rails. Sometimes the black magic is great, especially if you're trying to rig a prototype together. Also the configuration is almost always really easy so it's not difficult to start burning through a project. Othe

As someone that's been interested in this stuff but has not been able to apply any of it for work/personal purposes, this is a pretty darn useful summary of the solutions out there.

I think that the one advantage you'll gain from going to college is potentially meeting similarly driven people with similar interests :) That group you used to have a pint with might end up being business partners one day.

I think understanding the concept of the lower level stuff without having to have rote memorization is important. As an example, high school kids learn calculus via rote memorization (at least this is how we learned it). We learned what th

In America's slave society I'm sure their standard of living increased greatly between 1600 - 1800. Guess they just weren't very happy with that.

The problems in Afghanistan are far deeper than the Taliban and we're now embroiled in a civil war that has lasted for decades. What was once an Afghani problem is now our problem and we're paying for it in various ways.

I started by learning 5 commands I would use a good bit at a time. So basics for me were copying lines/deleting lines/moving around/inserting text and saving files. Then I moved on to tabbing, splitting etc. Once I mastered those, I learn
