You missed the point of the whole thing. This is not about displaying tweets, it's about the ability of a analyzing trends, news, popularity, etc. via tweets. It's a huge deal to be able to get 50% (let alone 100%) of all the tweets on a gi

Wow, I don't even know where to start. Where in the article was it mentioned that students copied homework? While you're at it, explain to me to how students currently share their entire homework (generally written in Microsoft Word) thro

I agree completely that college is completely overrated, but only regarding its ability a to create a successful professional. I think everyone should get at least a bachelors degree in their life on whatever field they are interested in, b

Education itself is cheap enough, you're not buying education by going to an expensive University, you're buying social interaction and a piece of paper. If the benefits of networking at Ivy League schools and the prestige of a diploma were

Net. I didn't say this thinking the US should have similar percentages though. This is attributed to the fact that labor costs in my country is easily one third to one half as expensive as labor in the USA. Perhaps there is also less overhe

I have many restauranteur friends in my country, and their profit ranges between 50% to 60%. I have trouble believing that in the USA their profit margins are so crappy. I bet there's a lot of stuff going on under the table (pun intended).

I get that you didn't mean it as a put down, I was just expressing to you how it read for me (and probably for a lot of people). I didn't mean to come off as aggressive towards you specifically, I was more being aggressive towards the idea

Oh no I got from your post that you where not making that specific point. Sorry if I came off as 'protective' of my ideals or something, I was just trying to convey why I thought that the TSA policies are rubbish. I agree with you that ther

I don't see why you where down voted, but I did read the message thread and both my comment and the comment of the grandparent make sense after having read the series of messages.

You called the communities opinion pathetic, based on some erroneous what "ifs" you came up with. Lot's of people just gave you their point of view on why you're wrong and others just down voted you because you didn't back up anything you s

But what happens when terrorist children shove explosives inside themselves through their anuses, or when terrorist grandma shoves a handgun inside her vagina? It's a very slippery slope to climb without a safety-line mate. The minimal incr

I don't see any point in the parent's comment that indicates he didn't read the original messages. He's making clear that he doesn't like the new trend of calling the NoSQL term marketing bullshit, as the term actually serves to differentia

I'm an engineer and I agree with Swizec and mathgaldiator. As an engineer I see great value in abstracting layers until any specification or detail is needed. If NoSQL as a term helps me convey a meaning of "newish edgy non relational datas

If I lean against a table it's not sexual, but when the table grabs my balls it sure as hell is. What I find interesting is that you equate an inanimate object in contact with a sexual organ with a human being fondling your penis, vagina, o

The pat downs are sexual in nature because they are done by rubbing the palms against the persons body including the genitals and breasts on women. A police officer conducts this type of pat-down when a person is arrested or is in the proce

Ok so what step did Techcrunch make and what does it have to do with the either Facebook or the title of the article? It just makes little sense.

Facebook Connect has a long way from being the "identity manager" I speak of, and it's integration with applications as it is now leaves a lot to be desired. There has been backslash because 1) it's a mediocre implementation and 2) the lack

I've always thought that Facebook could make a real difference by becoming a central hub to control your "persona" or identity so to speak. Facebook could integrate with every other service and app under the sun, and users would not require

And just to be sure, we disregarded the results from the screening anyway, and based our hiring decisions only on the three onsite-interviews. Am I missing something here?

Men make probably more then 90% of the middle to higher up positions in tech. Women founders of startups make around 4% of the total founder pool. What are people supposed to do? Invent important women in the tech industry out of thin air?

Others have said it more eloquently, but it's simply that some women have a bone to pick and prefer to offload the burden of actually being good at their jobs, instead acquiring this sense of entitlement and superiority. There are more men

No, taking prize money in no way equates making money by means of his work (as in a job) at the Steklov Mathematical Institute. If he would have worked at a call center, I'd say that yes it's a waste. I never said the point was to make MILL
