   Find a sport. Basketball, tennis, raquetball, cycling... anything you can do with a friend. Go ahead and get addicted to it. The biggest challenge is finding a friend. You can try meetup.com

   You never really answered the question "Why I changed my mind" in your post. You adopted a new model and that allows you to look at advertising favorably, but why you made that change in the first place isn't clear. Advertisi

    I 100% agree that software engineers are not special. But they are specialized. And getting to that point of specialization takes a combination of inclination, opportunity and, yes, some aptitude that not everyone has. My wife is brilliant

    This analysis is completely missing out on the auteur angle of media production. Games Are Not Art (Yet). Even if they get immensely popular, they will not be as culturally relevant as movies or books. A mind like Orson Welles will never be

    It's $CURRENT_YEAR, I don't think we should argue pedophilia. Or rape. Or Slavery. Some things should be considered settled.
