I'm sure the same people who trade in their cars to dealers and buy new cars will take advantage of this. People seem to value convenience and simplicity over actually making smart choices or pocketing money (which is probably why debt lev

I remember feeling the same thing in college... I expected CS to be a vocational program that would teach me how to write the applications I used on Windows every day. By Senior year, when not a single "real world" application was written,

I can vouch for this as a former government worker. While FOIA is vital for transparency in government, there is usually quite a lot of man hours put into fulfilling these requests.

Presumably these scratch-offs are a pseudo form of entertainment, otherwise people would just buy a ticket with one giant scratch off that tells how much money they either won or didn't.

"since no one is typing a url by hand" - that's a pretty big assumption, and if you proceed under that assumption you better nail the SEO for your company name. Google gives better rankings for .com names so at least make sure there is not

I don't think ordering of results could be considered copyright, that's more like a method (since Bing presumably still crawls the sites and builds it's own index, with perhaps Google as a ranking factor). Real world consumer product compan

I should also say school only matters for people with < 3 years of work experience. After that I find the experience itself much more important.

To me as a someone hiring, the "big name" part doesn't matter, but the school itself does. The curriculums are just not the same everywhere. I worked in a computer lab of an "online university" at the same time I was getting my Comp Sci d

Does the US really have that many ISPs? In most cities I've lived in you have two choices, Verizon or Comcast. Other smaller niche ISPs usually lease lines owned by one of those two anyway. When you consider who owns the backbones etc, I

These were kind of proposed in DC (I think they may actually exist in San Diego or somewhere), where you pay a variable rate to use the carpool lanes based on demand. So during rush hour it would cost $6 and 11am on a saturday it would cos

As an American who worked in Australia, I can vouch that you guys (luckily) don't share our same crazy work ethic. I was practically alone in the office of a large corporation once the clock struck 4pm on a Friday. I think you'd fit in we

Interesting how DC and LA seem to have similar numbers and yet DC is affordable to buy (because rents are slightly higher?) while LA is more affordable to rent and a much larger bubble indicating some dramatic difference that I don't see.

Your post, while insightful, doesn't really provide much reason as to why there seems to be a huge influx currently of high funding rounds for seemingly basic or non-profitible companies, the likes that I have not seen since the 90s. The c

I only post this because the media is acting like Eric Schmidt divesting 300 million is odd. I've been watching them do this since IPO, Sergey, Eric and Larry all regularly divest millions of dollars on a regular basis.

They seem to bat maybe .200 with successes, but the thinking here is probably "Why not?". It costs them almost nothing, takes very minimal effort, and at worst creates another revenue stream for Google.

It's like the "mass animal deaths" stuff at the beginning of the year. Despite all statistics saying it's normal, it suddenly feels like a real problem because the news is covering it. 24/7 news is probably the worst thing to come from th

AdSense ads could arguably be put in this same boat (when I'm reading a blog am I looking for products?), and yet they provide more click-throughs. Why? Because they look like natural links on the page to many people. Perhaps Facebook ne
