They provide the body with energy, which is pretty essential.

The system does bankrupt people, but it doesn't refuse to treat people. That is why people go bankrupt - the hospital has to treat everyone, then hands them an immense bill.

The US has many incredibly interesting big cities The US has far more boring big cities, though. You've already mentioned the interesting ones.

The populist notion of the noble yeoman suggests that most people don't know any actual farmers. The contemporary farmer isn't a very sympathetic character.

Thanks... a link to an app I didn't yet know about was what I was hoping for when I posted my comment. :)

There isn't another app that does it all (capture, annotate, quick share, host the screenshot) besides Skitch, which was bought by Evernote.

Do linear algebra and stats+prob before getting into multivariable calc. You can probably leave DiffEq out entirely unless you're getting into modeling. Math for computer science is a grab bag. Graph theory comes up a lot but propositional

I wouldn't say the homogeneity is disturbing. Like attracting like is a common human theme. However, it is a bit disappointing. That said, it seems like SV isn't really into the media agency industry, either. Even Apple's marketing is done

The text on playapi.com says "PLAYAPI IS A PLATFORM FOR CREATING SOCIAL GAMES AND APPLICATIONS." in a big font.

That's part of what the PR agent is supposed to be doing.

It's pretty easy to get "liked" by the "it crowd" in silicon valley - you just hire a better PR agent.

Why is changing the official language to English weird? It's a necessary move if they want to expand internationally. Japanese as an official language makes it impossible to hire almost anyone experienced with large scale e-commerce.

Rakuten is not weirder than "Amazon," either.

Python also has scientific libraries that don't have equivalents in other dynamic languages. I don't agree that Python is free of weirdness, though. Perl and Ruby just happen to have extra weirdness.

Python's niche is that it's a general purpose language that is also good for scientific programming.

Coach bags are made in China since 2009 and the price actually went up when they moved production there.

It's not the same. Startups go south, the founders split, things get wound down, and everyone tries again, or gets other jobs. This happens all the time. Nobody involved gets exiled to a small asian village. Matt Maroon said it better elsew

That's a good point.

Right, but you can always just walk away from it all. It's not the same as a student loan.

Startup founders are not "indebted" to their investors.

Well, at least the farmer didn't just shoot him and invoke the castle doctrine.

If you have a million dollars and have not done anything for 276 days, why wouldn't you just try it out?

Farmers in the high plains have a lot of downtime. The farmers in the area I grew up in often spent winters coaching hockey, or if their kids were out of school, lived in Florida. Might be different in places where there's a year round grow

That's too bad, their SOMA location is the only good gym in the city.

The writer was duped. There is quite a chasm between the flower child from Novato coming down for the weekend to trade peace patches for shrooms and the addict gutter punk types who live there permanently.

Where I grew up the farmers were the wealthiest and most tech savvy people in the area.

In 2006-2008 the crusties formed a gauntlet between Cole and Clayton on Haight. They were rude and aggressive and always had at least one rottweiler or pit bull. The locals and tourists could not stand them and the only reason they lasted a
