Creativity is the process of having original thought. The oft debated aspect of that definition is whether original thought is valuable from a social standpoint, or that it's enough for original thought to merely have value for the ind

Part of the problem is that competition is fairly level these days, thanks in-part to the Internet, easier global communication, changes in production capabilities, etc. So, to the massive corporations that have been around for centuries no

Ah, of course. Thanks for clearing my brain fog.

Wow, that and the follow-up tweet are impressive. What happened in 2013 though?

Neat, but is it safe to assume Google (and likely other agencies) have already done something similar to -- or a step or two beyond -- this?

Rand is an intelligent guy who is impressively self-aware. I've seen him speak multiple times on SEO and marketing topics and each time his bursting enthusiasm has made him come across as someone worth working alongside (or for). It&#x

So you're saying the best option for someone looking to start a business would be to move to Washington DC and start something the government will want to contract in? If that's the case, I'm packing as you read this.

While I agree wholeheartedly, I can't help but feel that investors still cherish face-to-face availability over the occasional Skype or message conversation. If funding is your business route, anyway. The network impact on startup succ

Exactly what I was wondering. As much as I would love to be both (or either) rich and in NYC, I don't see how this is relevant to the community.

Deja vu is theorized to be a data-recollection issue, where information is stored in short-term memory before it's consciously processed -- giving you the feeling of having experienced something before. As for activities or exercises t

While I'm sure many of us didn't see this coming, it makes perfect sense for someone like Amazon -- with their massive server farms and data structures -- to do something like this. I wonder if they'll push for more developer

Amazing to have some evidence of the processing capabilities dendrites could possess. Though this only makes our understanding of the brain that much slimmer. With billions of neurons and dendrites interacting all the time, if each are co

That's what originally struck me as well. It's easy to get carried away with falsely believing we're interested in something from a macro perspective when in reality the only thing(s) we really care about are micro or otherwi

Looks slick, as others have pointed out. However, if your primary value proposition is "a modern messaging app," you've lost a great opportunity to capture new customers. We already have modern messaging apps, plenty of them

Same here. I waited a few months to see what was going to be announced in regards to MBP, wasn't disappointed (though I wasn't really surprised either). I imagine the waiting pool is larger than the "act now" pool. Espec

Ah, my very first computer! Thanks for making something as simple and silly as this emulator. It brought back a lot of powerful reminders about where the technology (and myself) have come from.

Can anyone with better knowledge of such things explain why this has to occur during sleep? Is there just too much going on during the day to dedicate physical and mental resources to this type of cleaning?

Yes, this article falls well within those bounds, but I can't help but feel we'll never cease to encounter similar write-ups (or books, or videos, or lectures, or how-to guides). I think the best thing we can do right now is educa

Seriously, some of these variables are named so elegantly it's actually a little surprising. Beginning developers could learn a thing or two looking over code like these (even though it's now clearly outdated and likely defunct).

To bring in the cleanup crew? Or "teach the kids a lesson" perhaps? Whatever the reasoning, kmfrk's comment rings true: wasn't this all about transparency?

While I'm a fan of Jason and his writing, I can't help but feel that this is more of the "book about success that doesn't tell you how to actually do anything" category of self-help books (re: http://kott

This is interesting, especially for someone who has researched the concept before. Some immediate questions come to mind, like: at what point do you start tracking hours as sleep deprived versus not? What areas of cognitive performance are

Right, but in all of those scenarios the potential employer has no need to hesitate. Why wouldn't they reach out to potential hires to begin with (defeating the purpose of this site)? Again: really neat idea, and I think the execution

by tannerc 13y ago
Why even that? If an employer is interested in any individual wouldn't they just reach out and see if the interest is mutual? I think this execution is a fun one, but is it really all that needed?
