   I think that, until you see a populated StackExchange site (with content you understand), it's not really clear how useful it can be. Non-technical people pretty much just have moms4mom.com to look at right now.

   http://moms4mom.com is the only one I've heard of. Still, the site format is optimized for really narrow verticals. I think they're going to have trouble overcoming the fact that the best example of their knowledge engine's success is rea

   I think being exposed [or not being exposed] to computers from a young age will affect your ability to synthesize new concepts and analyze old ones in technology. Either way, these are all hugely outliers. The best way to get wealth is clea

   Quietly? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1916286,00.... doesn't seem too quiet, and on the internets he's extremely famous.

   This seems like it could so easily be used for evil. It literally seems like they're requesting their own custom, proprietary extensions on HTML builtin to the standard.

   I like this idea. A couple suggestions: Improve the algorithm for determining which @replies are a "conversation". I had one group of 21 messages that were really several conversations that took place over several weeks. I bet a simple clus

   I think you might as well make it a .csv, since Excel can read those but other products can't necessarily read Excel spreadsheets (Google Docs/OpenOffice/Zoho probably all handle .csv well).

    But citing your own blog article, the current management of society is doing a terrible job. What is your suggested approach, throwing darts at Post-It notes?

    Young right-wingers I've met (and I understand this sample to be anecdotal) are mainly concerned with keeping the size of government small and taxes low. I've not met a single person under 35 who thinks that cannabis prohibition is a good i

    I don't know about your grocery store, but my local grocery store has a pretty shitty bakery. I'd rather have one well-made cupcake then a dozen mediocre cupcake experiences. That said, you can probably get the ingredients at your store and

    Actually, I just did this in Ruby (I'm the grandparent post). Still, I'd love to use Scheme/Lisp/Haskell all day.
