Apples to Oranges. Not even close to the same thing. If Physical Property were treated the same way as Intellectual Properties, no one would have any neighbors, because only the first person to build a house is allowed to own a house. In

I don't know, I don't believe Europe is really doing a bang up job of preventing suicide either, but I will admit that I don't know much about the situation, I'm just hypothesizing.

I just did a quick google search on church affiliation and suicide rates (to bring this back to the original article and my hypothesis), here's an interesting study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry on the topic: http:&#

I fail to see how our primate ancestors ability to socialize outside of church somehow disproves that removing a large social component in modern American life could lead to less social support.

Because I'm suggesting that there might be less community support today than in the past because fewer people today attend church which historically has been a major source of social interaction within a community? I fail to see how t

I don't know, I remember seeing that Blacks and Hispanics were hit the hardest during the recession. I found an article about this: http://business.time.com/2011/07/26/great-recession-drives-f...

I don't think you can tie this to economics alone. After all, blacks and hispanics have been feeling the economic pressures as well. Suicide, drug use, and alcoholism have deeper cultural ties. I have no idea what those ties are, but

meh, if it's a single developer, asking native apps for every platform on a donation ware doesn't seem fair to me.

excellent point. I do suppose that being an accomplice to murder probably carries a less severe punishment than hiring a hitman and being the mastermind behind it. I'm not a big fan of the death penalty in general, and wish it wouldn

Thanks for the link. There's some VERY suspect behavior by this guy. Is it beyond a shadow of a doubt? I don't know, but lying that the boss was running an errand to another employee the morning after he was murdered certainly

While I generally agree with you. I have seen adwords tests where extremely minute changes in wording caused statistically significant increases in conversion. The biggest had to do with a campaign with the word "seeds". For wh

I don't understand why people say that IOS is more usable than android. Android phones tend to have a much better "phone" usability in my mind. For instance, I can go to my recent calls on an android device and just swipe t

This is great news, if only for the reason that there will be more Chris Farley GIF's on the internet.

Serious Slow Clap guys. To do this as a web app is really impressive. Great UI. Only recommendation would be to have a library of prebuilt commonly used components, similar to balsamiq, but I'm sure you are aware of them.

OK, I'll retract my statement about the study starting after the minimum wage was put in place, it looks like that isn't true. Furthermore, I will admit that the results have been replicated in other studies. After researching mo

Perhaps the other studies were "better" and not as flawed in their methods (starting a study after the minimum wage was put in place to see if there was a decrease in employment leading up to the wage increase is a huge flaw, and

A few years ago I actually read the experiment regarding the NJ fast food workers and the PA fast food workers shortly after NJ passed a minimum wage. I saw it consistently being brought up in conversations regarding minimum wage, which is

It'd be nice to just embed the youtube video demoing the editor right on the homepage. I had no clue what your value proposition was until I clicked the learn more link (which was not obvious) and then clicked to watch the youtube vid

I noticed a different flavor of this same logic with edited DVD's back in the 2000's. In Utah, there was a thriving edited DVD rental business during this time. Essentially, Mom and Pop shops would buy a DVD, take out the sex, l

In college I had a sociology class where the professor had studied happiness in marriage. He ran a survey asking how happy people were with their marriage. 5 years later, he ran a follow up survey to people who said in the first survey th
