Your evidence-based, nuanced response is most helpful, thank you. Are you a designer by chance? (Someimes good enough is good enough)

This is awful. Scribd is not the answer. So I guess nothing to see here, moving along.

"The economic reality is that most apps offer next to no value to people." This is completely wrong. The author of this article confuses price with value. Apps have tremendous value. But because of market dynamics, human nature, f

There are plenty of companies that focus on ROWE (results oriented work environment). You can have a stable job and not have to pretend to work. And if you have to do busy work in the office when you're unproductive as a show, leave an

We spend billions on food stamps in the US. Seems we already do feed people.

Stop this. The cost of healthcare is a few dollar co-pay. If you're poor you get Medicaid. If you're older, you get Medicare. So, what exactly is your point? That if you're not poor or old, and you are too lazy or cheap to bu

Seriously? Because you have to make $50 co-pay at the hospital, our society doesn't treat you like a human?

This can be a confusing topic. Hadoop is several things. A No-SQL data store, map-reduce and a global file system. No-SQL and Map-Reduce can be quite valuable, even on a single server. CouchDB runs on Android for example. If you don't

The title is misleading. You still have to buy NFL Game Pass. I think it is $25/week or $250 for the season. Not sure, but Game Pass might have been free the first weekend. Sunday ticket in the US has a free preview the first week of t

Can we agree there is a distinct and dramatic difference between public and private colleges? Should we even be talking about them in the same context? This seems to be much more of a private college bubble.

Prospective starlets used to go to Hollywood and get literally screwed. Engineers now go to the Valley and only get metaphorically screwed. I guess that's progress.

Actually it is their money. Paypal is taking all of the risk in the transaction. If Mailpile fails to deliver, Paypal is on the hook. I see no problem with what they did, maybe this should have been communicated better.

My first reaction? What bunch of pampered babies. If your employer has to design a service to keep you from driving home drunk, you clearly are the definition of pathetic. Miserably unable to deal with the basics of life.
