I really like the idea of Montessori, and if I have the cash I'd like to send my future kids there someday. That being said, I see correlation here, not causation. To be a little bit tongue and cheek, I could write the headline: "99% of suc

Harvard educates the world, and you'd rather their mission be a way "improve town-gown relations, by convincing locals to not perceive Harvard as "the other" Seems completely unfounded, and yes, categorically elitist.

The phenomenon that the articles title refers to is caused by something simple. The tech world got into media, and since then media related technologies get a sizable chunk of the attention.

Not joking here: Wasn't this the premise of the ending of 'Batman: The Dark Knight?' Scary, hilarious, and amazing at the same time.

I'm saying this earnestly and with care: The first priority should be finding out what is right for yourself. Ultimately, no one can tell you what is right for you. Hacker news is a good place to reflect, but hopefully you can read things

I think math helps here. If YC funds 400 startups, they've spent somewhere around 8 million dollars. In the late 90s one .com startup probably spent that much on their office chairs. Granted, there are subsequent rounds of funding, and may

Hollywood controls the movie and TV distribution, so if you don't play their game, good luck getting on TV or in the theaters. In Silicon Valley however, you can still win without playing the insular game, and paradoxically it might end up

This is a false dichotomy that sidesteps the question, "Are universities a place where the brightest students, regardless of which campus they are attending, are able to actualize real world goals?" In many cases, for a person who has real

The internet is a continuum beyond physical locality. That was why we (humans) invented it. It's no so much that the author is right or wrong, but he speaks from a perspective that is not relevant. Good for the companies built outside of S

Local business is a huge opportunity on the internet. However, it far from the last 'unconquered' sector of the web. There will never be an end to vast opportunities on the internet, because new solutions create new opportunities that neve

First time I've heard the "T Shaped Professional." That is exactly what I've been aiming toward becoming. You're a 'deviner' (developer/designer), maybe I'm a bizdeveloper.

Although its been overexposed in the media, the reality for me is Facebook. Not since Google have we seen a company expand to that magnitude of usage within the wider population. Facebook was probably the first truly bubble 1.0 company to

Things like Wikileaks need to be kept in check as much as the governments they are exposing. However, I don't think it is constructive to joke around about the three things you mentioned as being something to be put on a dating profile. If

People are missing the point of this deal. Groupon is a scalable way to market Google ads to local business. Google already sees how much Groupon spends on Google ads. From that they realized that they can take that expense out of the equa

It's about leverage. If they can build equal or better things than what they built inside of Facebook, it makes it easy and likely for Facebook to acquire them. At best Facebook can copy them, but then they are chasing their own tail. If

Skype works. Sometimes the sound is hard to deal with. However, consider that there are probably 20 other people in your same situation who will hack out a quick skype video. Keep it simple don't overthink the stuff.

Money is a commodity like anything else. Talking about wealth in the context of consumption means you've already lost. Better to think about how to produce the most than how to consume the least.

Some good points made here, but I think the gloom and doom is a little overstated. Facebook went through the same thing for awhile and then created facebook lite, then rolled more simplicity back into their main app. A company like twitter
