General weather forecasts may be a poor monetizing niche (because 5-day forecasts are a commodity), but severe weather is completely different. Depending on where you've grown up, this may be more or less obvious.

Once you know what to make, it's mere effort to make it, and most decent hackers are capable of that. This explains why someone like myself can start a startup and not feel embarrassed when they meet real wunderkinds (specifically CS guru

With logic: one can exhibit contradictions in religious doctrines. (If there are any.) I've always found it a bad idea to pretend to be an expert in someone else's religion. Pointing out contradictions in someone else's religion 99.9% of

Working from home is tough if you have a 4 year old and a 1 year old that continuously long for attention. I haven't quite figured out how to balance that need with the need for long concentration spans ... so for now (and because my emplo

I have a related suggestion: show someone's median karma per comment and karma per post in his/her profile. This would shed light on someone's real contribution level: e.g. someone puts up a TC article and gets 128 pts in one day vs. someo

Unfortunately, I think all child raising theory and advice is theoretical until you get to practice it on your own children. I know you don't mean to imply otherwise, but that is what I'm doing right now. And I will tell you that I love

Generationally-speaking, I think the role of TV in children's lives has increased greatly since I was young (I am 27 now, with a 1 yr old son and 4 yr old daughter). So many people are growing up now believing that TV is the nanny, educato

From the article: "Children learn to be fair and take turns—they cannot always demand to be the fairy queen, or soon they have no playmates. “They want this thing to keep going, so they’re willing to go the extra mile” to accommodate other

My highest rated comment so far occurred yesterday, when I got 30 points for saying something reasonably good early on in a popular post. I think other people agreed with what I said, and so (appropriately) just upvoted the comment rather
