I'm curious if there are societies or cultures that eat significantly less grain than others. Surely looking at a large population's diet and finding a correlation to the diseases mentioned could shed some light into his claims...

People who are born in the US probably have less incentive to leave 'home'. High probability that they've developed business relationships and a network of people in their hometown or place of schooling, giving them an advantage that is ta

If you don't go to college, you better damn well educate yourself better than anyone in college will. That means reading big textbooks, working on hard projects, getting to know more about things outside your field of study. This is wha

You know, it's not that I have friends who make a lot more money than I do, it's the fact that I have friends with significantly different spending habits . We can both afford a nice restaurant out with our girlfriends, however, to me it's

I like it. It's good if you're goal is to eventually sell dual licensed products. A company that is just using your product on the small scale shouldn't have a problem with sharing their code too. If a company has monetized it in a way t

Who uses serializable isolation level? I find that claim dubious, and I don't think ordering the way he talks about is better than read committed.

If this is true, why does it take so long to hire good programmers? Even startups with technical founders, who have an entire network to draw on, spend spend a lot time searching for and evaluating programmers. >but if you know someone

PG said it best: It's almost impossible for a non-technical person to hire a good technical person. You wouldn't even know where to begin. So yes, MANY web companies are started by non-technical founders, and it progresses like this:

Not even close. And Marijuana is less dangerous for society and individuals as alcohol, automobiles, etc. HOWEVER, if we say that anything should be legal as long as it doesn't encroach on someone else's freedom, where do you draw the line

Yes. If it turns out that people on PCP or some other hard drug are more dangerous/quicker to violence, is there a limit of how much personal freedom we should grant if there is an increased risk of possible damage to society.
