I believe you mean, this particular Atheist believes that. Don't generalize.

Apple products tend to be used by a particular demographic while everyone else uses Microsoft. Is it really a surprise that the largest user base also has the most "gullible" people?

Dustin was the cause of Mr. X losing his job, so I have a hunch he feels like he needs to give the man whatever help he can. And the point of the guest post is to leverage Dustin's reader base to build attention to his name. His blog gets b

Anything from John Chow's website is incoherent self-serving drivel as part of his marketing funnel to get you to help him make more money... so he can blog about how he makes more money. This article had good intentions, but guest blogging

This tells me Google should consider providing shortened URLs. maps.google.com/a7sga would be great.

Tim Ferriss is a good example of this.

They did give her that chance though, with a $150,000 initial advance. At least, more of a chance than most authors get.

She mentions doing freelance writing and ghostwriting, so she's not only doing her books for income.

That's not very sound basis for your bet. Though you'll be able to study this with the more letters you send. I just wanted to point out that you need to test this rather than assume.

If he changed the background color to a very dark shade of grey rather than straight black, it would lessen the contrast and ease the strain on your eyes. If you're feeling buzziness from reading inverted type, there is also a good chance y

And this, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is a lesson in why establishing a brilliant culture in your company is of utmost important. It's amazing to me to see all the praises in this thread for JetBlue and would be interesting to see a c

This is VERY well designed. Many congrats on that regard. Rather than critiquing it for not being a suitable replacement for parental story time, why not someone suggest it be used in libraries? Let the librarian record the stories and give

I think the question shouldn't be "do professors matter?" as much as it should be "do universities matter?" IF you choose to pursue a university career, then YES, the professor makes a HUGE difference. One of my best professors this semeste

Seconded, although that would take away from how straightforward the service is.

You are right, but keep in mind some organizations and processes still "trust" a time-stamped hard copy more than an email. We're fortunate enough to be very tech savvy, but this service, to me, is meant to be an accommodation to those who

I can see this being very useful for businesses wanting statements and comments for the record.

Working with Noah was a great experience for me, and this interview is really great because it emphasizes a lot of the topics that came up during our burrito lunches together. It's great to see he's found some success and still loves to sha

As I said, there are means to overcome these maintenance problems; outsourcing the work being just one of them. There seems to be a fair amount of cognitive dissonance going on here, and it seems to stem from the fact you feel overwhelmed a

It would seem to me this young man has already set the gears into motion by knowing he doesn't have the answers and by making an effort to question his life. Many of the responses in here speak so matter-of-fact-ly that one person's opinion

These still exist in the "VC world," and then there are added constraints as well, such as expectations and pressure on yourself not to let other people down. Bootstrapping is simple; just get the fucking work done. Pardon my french, but th

School for me. There seem to be a lot of mentions of 'design' though. Honestly, it doesn't matter how good or bad your product is. Get -something- out there for other people to use. Run a private beta of just 5-10 people at first who are wi

I clean. First, I clean my room, so my atmosphere feels less cluttered and my mind is less likely to wander of to thinking "I should get around to this." Then, I'll clean my desk, which usually means throwing everything away that is not 100

I think you could benefit greatly from Gary Vaynerchuk's ideas in this keynote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhqZ0RU95d4&feature=playe... The general overview of what he says: it's never too late, you don't have to jump neck deep in

Nothing terribly exciting, but it's a big step in the research and preparations towards building a station on the moon itself.

We don't know the conversion rates of each site, so the traffic metrics are useless. One could convert at 15% and the other only at 2% and be comparable in terms of revenue. Metrics are good, but they can be blinding.

Amazing. This is one of those 'where was this when I needed it!?' sites.
