I am elated. Rubymotion is awesome. It has the ease of PhoneGap with the speed of native Obj-C.

My uncle, who admittedly is pretty weird, used to only eat Costco pasta and peanut butter for 95% of his meals. The other 5% of the time he had lavish dinners with friends and family, and felt free to spend quite a bit. His logic was "

Not a doctor, but I'm wondering what you mean by "upset"? Teeth are calcified body tissue, if I'm remembering HS biology correctly, and I don't know how having them not mashing down on things could damage them. Curi

Thanks for the information and advice. I figured as much, my hopes weren't too high. I don't think I'm going to be investing in anything like Bitcoin for a long time. Best of luck.

As one of the many people who lost money in the Gox implosion, this is nauseating to read. On a less related note, I heard they recovered 1/5 of the missing bitcoins awhile ago. Anyone know what will happen to that 1/5?

I think the OP was talking more about woodworkers and other craftsmen than poop-shovelers and toilet cleaners.

To add to your (very good) point, a friend in Copenhagen told me about a German restaurant without waiters (possibly this one: http://www.flixxy.com/high-tech-restaurant.htm ). Food is ordered on iPads and served through som

I had an Econ professor who insisted individual stock picking is a fool's errand, and he had some pretty compelling evidence to back it up. If you have a thousand users picking stocks randomly, some will by chance do well. I wouldn&#x2

Wow, that's super cool, especially for a first Ruby project. Hopefully my bike doesn't get stolen, but if it does I'll be sure to use this (Who am I kidding? It's the bay area, when it gets stolen).

> iOS developers earn over $120,000 a year, and the market is growing. Wait, what? Do you mean "can earn" or "on average earn?" The wording implies that after taking the course you will be earning $120,000/year,

I'm imagining this SVIFT as "Swift" but in a German accent.

I'm not an expert on cyberbullying, but there were a few cases that happened when I was in high school. At least at the school I attended, the victims had never been accosted by the bullies in person. But then again, I have a single-di

Hate speech is a different matter, that's why it's not legally protected. I believe in the first amendment, both the freedom it grants and the limitations it imposes. Harassing a kid because he's gay or African American isn&#

It's worth noting that Reddit exists to discuss topics, hobbies etc. Yik Yak doesn't have a defined purpose to the same extent Reddit does. This lack of definition combined with the geographically-centered design (you know your au

My problem with Yik Yak isn't that its anonymous, its that I cannot conceive of a way that it could be used to do anything but hurt people. I read an interview with one of the founders who described a story of how Yik Yak was used for

That's an interesting way to look at it. I see it more as a placeholder for "we expect a lot from you, and expect you to work hard." I think any CS major can attest that there are periods in college that call for similarly e
