Thanks, yes, that's the other important point: you can't turn it around and expect a guarantee of success. I believe the original study didn't even claim any magical threshold of hours either - Gladwell probably just introduc

Does this really contradict that 10000-hour rule? (Well, apart from the fact that 10000 hours may well be an arbitrary number, and not as magical as Gladwell made it out to be) From what I remember from reading Outliers, the claim about the

I just tried to find out about 235 (POR recovery count), and from what I gather this counts any hard power cycles you've "inflicted" on your machine, is that right? I suspect that between 177 (wear level) and 241 (blocks writ

Even if you'd achieve critical mass, I think there's another problem. A fundamental difference with say StackOverflow, is that for a typical programming question there will be many people who, even if they don't know the answ

Curves can also look like that if we look at them at the wrong scale, so maybe it's too soon to jump to conclusions. There are more questions to ask: how many people have heard about gittip? If they're not donating yet, would they

Maybe nobody has, but that doesn't make it a wrong observation. As one of the answers on the OP puts it, "I spend an excessive amount of time as of late trying to find a question that interests me enough to do the research to answ

It's called "paying it forward". Assuming, of course, that some form of BI would be in place, you would have spent those 10 years in school supported by a BI. So paying those taxes, you're making sure that people just

I always assumed that only the servers and not the business owe income tax over this part of the bill. Also, don't credit card companies waive fees over tips? edit: hmmm, it seems the latter isn't even close to true!
