That is a good idea for a lot of reasons. It would be a platform that could be built out to incorporate drug sales too since a lot of times someone might want to buy weed in a city they are visiting but not want to root around the streets

It's clickbait to generate youtube views. Seriously how many times have we seen this trick?

We can make burglary illegal without any additional explanation of why burglary is "wrong". This is because it is part of understanding the concept of burglary to know that it is wrong. It's the same sort of logic that appl

I mean seriously. These ponzi schemes all involve american buys propping up the money and it is an absolute miracle that the US government is willing to invest time and money in creating a system of justice that at the very minimum punishe

Sorry I know that post quality is important and everyone should strive to make important points that move the conversation forward but at the same time I have to say "let's get ready for the aliens" really made me happy. Fun

The Tim Ferris book "4 Hour Body" will introduce you to a whole world of reliable ideas. Also, Joe Rogan talking to Dr. Julie Kedzie, which you can find by googling his podcast.

That there is a huge amount of marketing hype that comes out of silicon valley for languages, projects, etc. and for the most part you are wasting your time to get too deeply immersed in any one thing.

Reading this thread I can answer the question because I have worked in this industry and given/sold data to Intellius specifically. There are three main sources of ALL of the data: 1. Acxiom http://www.acxiom.com/ 2. E

Well, as someone over 40 let me suggest a perhaps controversial take on this type of post: by the time you reach a certain age you should have found a place in life that doesn't involve "looking for a job" or "getting h

I remember that story and it might have been during the first Clinton campaign in the 90s or anyway one of those "Welfare Queen" stories meant to make public assistance seem like a shorthand for "laziness". There are as

If you have never seen the movie Before Night Falls I recommend it. While I agree that 20th century politics in Latin America was complicated, it's also true that the Castro regime committed a lot of human rights violations in ways th

I think that logo is really childish and weird looking. It puts me off. And Larry Wall talking about perl gets old really fast. In my opinion perl will slowly die because it has no social capital. A good sign of this is when you are arou

As a referral source for new business in your marketing budget it would be a very good investment even if it only generated $150000 a month in new business. And I have no doubt they are getting a heck of a lot more from it than that.

I liked the article and the overall concept. The main issue in my opinion is that the sort of people who would be attracted to such a place would also have had already a great many opportunities to connect with others throughout their life

I felt the same way ultimately despite my original enthusiasm. To be honest now that I have some experience with the eco-system as a whole, I mean Linux, it's really unreasonable to expect a few developers, even very good ones, to pro

Unless you pay for a larger instance where the cost turns out to more like 50 bucks a month you get very limited bandwidth out of AWS, which is why I stopped using it. I suppose if you are running a corporate blog and cost isn't an is

And that seems to me like the main incentive they would have to force developers into that user model. On the one hand it makes sense to charge $2500 for a laptop but then if the quality is so great now that the machine can be expected to

In that case it seems like using "big" desktop computers on Azure or AWS is right around the corner, especially if you factor in better internet speeds to make the remote desktop experience more seemless, so that the client comput

I can't wait to find out what the revolution that was possible in our time but that we failed to see is. We have computers. We have spaceships. We have fish farms. We have sequenced DNA and cloned sheep. Seems sort of like you shou

I feel like a system like IBM Watson is going to end up writing the code in the near future. The real action, therefore, is in explaining the business logic and requirements in a structured way so that the AI can write the code.

Well I can't see that suggestion resulting in a gallery show for anyone who follows that advice. If you are an outsider, how would you ever get into legitimate galleries to show your work? Never happens because your school background

Well one of the points they bring up is that this type of scam works on a particular demographic because of their attitudes towards sex in general. So, I think Samir is really a victim and like all such victims he didn't see that peop
