If anything google made all types of bullshit more accessible. Just search for articles about: Non-stick pans, chem-trails, hollow-earth theory, etc. etc.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at hardware prices, might also support the case that "miners are hoarders". (Please excuse the sketchy math in the following pos…

During early elementary school I learned more in camp than I did at school. I was also first exposed to C++ in a summer program around 1998. With the right vendors this is more tha…

Great post! I browsed your site some more, and found a video of a presentation you gave. Asking for the close is killer. In retrospect too many of my first couple of calls ended wi…

How it works: It's Omegle meets Snapchat. 1) You can send messages (or images) that automatically seek other random users. 2) You can choose to designate where your message goes by…

/r/programming doesn't get that specific into programming. I think it's mostly an aggregator of resources for beginners learning how to program. (a large percentage of the posts ar…

I'm actually interested in using your site for a quick landing page (for an app I'm developing). I'm checking out the 'Pro' section, is there any coupon code available now?

The added inference I get is "that's just the way it is." "Because politics" is like saying "because politics are just crazy like that." It's a flippant way of saying something is …

I guess it's a little semantic at this point. Though, there's services like pricegeek that crawl Ebay graphing the better deals. They piggyback of Ebay's existing affiliate model. …

Zenefits is a licensed insurance broker it's free for users, they collect a referral fee from insurance companies. Since it's online they're sustainable from broker fees alone and …

My dad is a chemist who does a lot of lab work. Currently he uses an iPhone's basic features a lot: notes, timer, etc. Before the iPhone he used a chronograph. Glass would actually…

I think where this might fork a little is consumer vs enterprise. Dropbox is meant to be understood by a much wider audience than Heroku. For a consumer facing company being easily…
