Stand out and be weird. This is the best advice. You want to filter out the cruft and you wont do well at pretending otherwise. I used the same profile on each dating website, play the field, dont just limit yourself. You never know what wi

Once u have used all all your resources - what else do u do? Enter a new market, under the guise of alturism, give that country cheap credit... and soon enough you have a new colony!

Well put. it a reinforcing self-cycle. Rich people used to rule the world. Then we created democracy. Now rich people manipulate democracy from the inside. They define what is acceptable and what is not by owning prestigious schools, select

The fundemental problem with science today is that it needs funding. Funding means vested interests. If a scientist is trying to game the system, they are doing it to secure future funding. Either they are gaming the system to make the fund

Africa is ripe for the picking, it just needs infrastructure to get the resources back to China. American tech companies dont target Africa because there is no money for them. China works on different economic principles. State backed compa

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. If your in the game of monopolising online sales, your not here for a long time, your here for a good time. Fake items have made alot of people rich. Amazon needs a cut of that pie. How el

Like every other Conservative party in the world doesnt do the same? This is my problem with these actions. They are selective based on political affiliation. I dont care if they are communists, socialists, or the run of the mill capitalist

This is certainly NOT a waste management issue. As i travelled the world, i noticed one thing. I could always see certain product waste in the same poor regions the world over. Selling plastic to the poor is BIG enterprise. We are talking a

The article says it all - they chose the wrong language with no community support for the trail they were blazing and that technical debt destroyed their productivity. I achieved 90+% code share in Xamarin including UI across windows - ios

Amen. Startups are like the import car scene. They all go out with a shopping list, get the same bootstrap launch page, hire the same social networking team, get wooded by a hire company with l33tcode screening, and then wonder why they dev

This isnt just games. Lets be frank. We can become addicted to anything given the right physiological triggers. Capitalism has optimised itself to the point where you are nothing more then meta data. Its at the point where a team of accredi

I have found pair-programming with a dev on a current problem you have in your codebase to be the best litmus test. If u want to give "quiz" interviews, u will get employee's good doing them. Like those CS grads in my class w

So what you are saying, is all the code i see on blogs, demoing that cool little JS thingy, is actually just demo code, not prod ready. To get prod ready, u need to break the NPM dep, and vet everything on your own. So your telling me npm r

Pidgeon, spoken in alot of the islands nations, is used as a bridge like language for local dialects. IMO its the first example of what this book is referring too.

I think the use-case of cloud storage is mostly marketing by cloud provides to show relevance to the consumer. They are are loss leaders at best; used to lock you in to their services / track your every move; at worst. I think the comp

Australia's government is owned by argi-mining corperate interests. The ruling poltical party was founded by such creatures, and they all seem to retire into cushy lobbying positions for the same companies after the fact. The ruling Co

IMO this a consequence of Capitalism. At some point, when companies get to large, buying regulations becomes the new ball game. This can go both ways, once u buy your regulation, making it harder for others becomes the next ball game...
