I am a fun and outgoing guy looking for a strategist or community management type position. I've got some dev experience (LAMP, JS, ~python, working on jquery) and a minor in CS, b…

I know it's hard to believe, but there are people who legitimately enjoy finding the exact right word. This is like trashing someone for working on an open source project - they're…

Yeah, IIRC Delta had free wifi while they were testing it and Virgin's was free during the holiday season. And yes the wifi alliance has some biases, but Wakefield ( http://www.wak…

+1 for Virgin. I've never flown (I live in Chicago and they don't hit O'Hare) but I've heard almost exclusively good things. They are doing exactly what needs to be done in these g…

Badges? It's become kind of cliche as of late, but it might work. I've known many a pot-smoker who were (overly) concerned with their rep as a connoisseur, as it were.

There's been a lot of hating on us poor liberal arts graduates that didn't have the foresight to know that our education was going to invariably lead to crushing, static unemployme…

Any solar hackers out there? I wonder if you could extend that lifetime at all - that's like a bonus experiment on top of whatever else you're doing.

In school, we had a group that did microgravity experiments in freefall, could be useful research applications along those lines. Although I'm not sure how much control you have ov…

I use notecards - I keep a stack of blanks in my bag. If they're not particularly actionable, they go up on my blog for such things( http://mohrslaws.com/Lifein3x5 ), otherwise, th…

When I interviewed at Airbnb, IIRC, I believe they said they were profitable or close to it. [citation needed]

I have and loved it - it is responsible for my regular use of the word 'gumption.' But, now that you mention it, I should go back and read it again. When I first read it, I was muc…

Anecdotally, I was surprised, above all, by how natural it feels to start meditating. There's thousands of years of practices and traditions meant to improve/structure the act, but…

I wouldn't call it a prisoner's dilemma - competitors that oppose HFCS have no incentive to make the switch as the perception (or reality) of better taste/health are their top sell…

Those of us that were on speech team lost that assumption years ago.

Having recently left a farm job, (tonsillitis brought a premature end to my tenure) I figure maybe I'll share a bit of my insight on the situation. First off, the farm I worked on …

When you pop up a comment, the hide and delete buttons are kind of confusing. The hide icon uses a 'minimize' analogy, which leads me to believe the 'x' icon means 'close.' On a re…

There's a Chrome extension for following, thanks to bkudria. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mkdhfabjcebcgnpg...

Also only to people that commute at rush hour +/- and into/out of the city.

If all you really want to do is code, my guess is all the art history and romantic literature classes in the world won't result in a necessarily cultured person. Culture doesn't ju…

If you're asking for 10k from strangers, it might be a good idea to give your 3 minute video a couple of dry runs, maybe even (God forbid) WRITE out a script. Divide it up evenly, …

Always appreciate stories of people that made the jump, but I was kind of hoping this was going to be about a less obviously monetizable passion.
