I don't get it. I can't recall a single piece of learning content from Oxford that didn't have the audio quality of a tin can phone. I sounds like an over-compression issue, but it is just made even worse by horrible audio in

Although I think the whole "the fear of failure has destroyed learning" thing is rather dramatic, I realize there is a basis for that perspective that I think lies more in that academic achievement destroys exploratory, off-script

When I first heard of this company I thought it was some kind of joke. Turns out I should really learn how to bamboozle investors into handing me $53M for shitty ideas that don't make even basic logic sense.

What I find most fascinating about things like that is that when you look at the pictures of the book you see an old, shriveled up, bent, corroded, bland, demure type of book; but I am sure that when this book was new it was an object of pe

I'm rather confident in saying that this was more of a novelty to show off book binding mastery and was probably some gift to a noble.

It really highlights the true nature of the threat the NSA represents to the freedom and liberty of all humanity to communicate and share. Their wanton, extra-legal, militaristic sabotage is a real chilling effect on all of society and huma

Are there any clear and concise sources regarding non-compete and non-solicitation clauses and their enforceability in various states? Basically, some kind of primer on the topic?

Easy? Really? I get that you are offering a service, but I can guarantee that if there were something as fundamentally and existentially important as securing my domain name, it would not be an easy thing to forget to do. I can't even

It's an unfortunate truth of our society and business culture that we see these things as linear, hierarchical progressions rather than what they are, different roles with different purposes. Just like in the educational sphere we see

Sorry, you're wrong. That's a recent comment that I am not referring to. I did not save a referent to the original statement when he made it back, oh, maybe 5-6 years ago because even though it immediately struck me, I did not see

To be fair, they really aren't using the internet when milling around inside of Facebook's network. The internet is about connecting autonomous computers, server, networks, and systems together ... precisely not simply circle jerk

load time is not a success factor in and of itself. Fast load times for bad content will not lead to success as little as really great content with horrible load times. But that being said, I am a proponent of significantly prioritizing loa

I blame developers. There is an unrealized problem in the development community that assumes that everyone wants every bell and whistle and feature possible at all times. Guess what though, people, most people are not engineers, tinkerers,

Just as Zuckerberg said he wants it, for Facebook to replace the internet is is expressed goal.

Surprise! Wall Street is all in on manipulation and abuse.

I get your point about "being the service people just dump their stuff to" but it is still a valid point. The problem with the network effect that Facebook has so thoroughly entrenched is that, in my opinion, you have to first rep

That whole story kind of strikes me as propaganda with deliberately provided intel and probably even satellite images. There is increasing necessity to condition Americans for what is seen as a coming confrontation with China. People need t

Bingo!!! That's the real and legitimate conspiracy here. They are trying to leverage their ... qualitative ... market dominance to "urge" news content providers to shift their content to the News app where the Apple ad networ

Just some food for thought, Facebook sells its services to the intelligence community. If there were anything that resembled something like a global authoritarian surveillance network, it would be Facebook. The genius part of it is that peo

What people have to understand, for context, is that this project is kind of a pinnacle of failure and corruption that was born and fostered in the post-unification "reconstruction" of the formerly East German territories.

It's amazing that with all that "experimental" stuff, the design of planes really has not changed much. I am sure there are certain things that were learned, but I also cannot get past the notion that there is a more appropri

Great idea. Hire a bunch of law and regulation flouting failures? I get the whole "you will fail far more than not" but it's not like they were doing something new, they couldn't even manage to take over something as sim

I really hope to see in my lifetime a move back to user owned data and a distributed internet again. This whole centralization and proprietary nature of things is really not to my taste. If anyone is going to lose my stuff, I want it to be
