I can understand why they do it - diminishing the page rank of sites that give answers to questions on Stack Overflow causes Stack Overflow to gain more traffic - but it still seem…

From personal experience, both startups I have been a part of have pivoted for one of two reasons: 1) Little to no market identified for the product or service described in the ori…

Very informative. I would like to point out, however, that there are free options other than Google Analytics, and many of them are less intimidating. Statcounter is what I would s…

A different, simpler take on the 'where should my business be located' problem from basic economics. On the plus side, simple means more extensible. Already starting to think of wa…

This actually seems VERY important, although probably less so if you've been exposed to the idea before. Regardless, the results are impressive, and the ability to impose the mathe…

I couldn't agree with this more. Knowledge has an incredibly large impact on the possibility of the betterment of human life, be it individually or socially. It is better for every…

This. Simply posting something that already exists, be it through a Tweet or a link or what-have-you, does not create anything of value. However, creating said link with a short de…

There's also the bit where attempting to get people to support a piece of positive legislation is infinitely harder than getting them to oppose negative legislation. If for no othe…

The end bit is kind of creepy, in my opinion, but I'm liking the way this is going overall. I, for one, would love to be able to talk to people over the Internet and still have som…

Reflection on work is an important step in getting work done efficiently, and this process forces it quite well. On top of that, it requires little action on the part of the manage…

This. The article is one of the best ever written on the topic.

Agreed. Discussing ethics when no one even fully understands what the technology is seems rather pointless.

Having no readers is a bit of an over-statement. I have some friends who read it occasionally and ask about specific topics, and a few random people who probably glance at it once …

I find this article to be spot on, especially for professionals in very technical careers. Specifically, the bit about improving your writing skills is very pertinent. Most technic…

Even so, the laborious market as the writer describes it would be better characterized as an olipsony, as collaboration was required to perform the action the article is speaking a…

So true. The DVD has run its course. With more and more emphasis on remote storage rather than physical, present storage mediums, I wouldn't be surprised if a similar phasing out o…

This. Considering the vastly different uses people put different portions of Google's services towards, combining all of them seems rather counter-productive to me. I suppose an op…

From experience, I would say that a very good designer is worth considerably more to a company than a very good developer. This comes largely from the fact that the beneficial cap …

This. Just because labor is no longer a factor in production functions doesn't mean capital is not. Specifically, raw material scarcity will actually have a larger impact on price …

The question, I think, is more relevant than you make it appear. The only factor of production eliminated by the introduction of what is, essentially, automated labor is labor. A s…

Essentially anything that can be made of plastic or other, similar materials could be printed in the near future, assuming it doesn't have to meet any rigorous engineering standard…

This is exactly what I said?

It seems to me that, in many cases, getting one's hands on the materials necessary for printing a car would make things prohibitive for the individual. Still a very interesting ide…
