Fundamental attribution error https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error

This is beautiful. Douglas Hofstadter would be proud. 1337 at the end got me.

Sounds very interesting! However, I am very curious on whether this works for simple workarounds such as taking a screenshot of the picture or reducing image quality. Since the ori…

Tanenbaum said that Torvalds would not get a good grade on his course, epic. "I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thank…

Peter Thiel's advice about monopoly is hugely similar to the point Porter makes in his first book, Competitive Strategy. On the first chapter of his book, Porter clearly states tha…

I would LOVE if Sparkfun did some kind of a deal with Radioshack. I mean, SFun is what RadioShack should be right now, and they definitely could use some physical presence... ah, d…

As I said, I don't have the specifics so I can't judge the Macworld case. Assuming it was an unexpected layoff right after a very demanding day of work, I can see some wrong things…

While I see your point, I cannot agree with you. Business is not separated from the people that form it. Yes, good businesses are profitable. Yes, if it weren't for the profits, th…

It is really cool to see how history repeats itself in such a predictable fashion. According to the International Watch Magazine, at first wristwatches were seen as a passing fad, …

From the Internet.org website itself, comes a very timely affirmation: "The future of the world economy is a knowledge economy - the Internet, its backbone". Should this backbone b…

I really, really thought that the article contained practical tips for excel, the MS Office Excel

This is genius. Really. In my mind you've just "jiu jitsued" the candy bars, by applying the same mechanisms they use to keep you hooked, but against them. By creating habits that …

Very good review, though I would only argue on one point. The author says it's unfortunate that Amazon heavily promoted the phone's most "out-there" features, while it really excel…

I know this may end up seeming a pretty useless comment, but I cannot miss the opportunity of recommending a VERY good book about this subject, by the guy who coined the term net n…

It's available since July 8th 2014 in Amazon... I see what you did there with your marketing ingeniousness, Mr. WSJ || Bill Gates. The problem is that I'm easy, all too easy, and I…

The only way out of this, as I see it, is making privacy the default. But this require some cooperation and motivation from the big guys at silicon valley. Imagine if Chrome, Firef…

Has no one read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"? I think all this conversation would be greatly enlightened if we start thinking on the opposite way: when AI is so advanced, …

I think the point here is not "knowing how to use memristors". Sure, it is possible to use them simply as another type of non-volatile memory. But it's the same as having an airpla…

One factor that has to be taken into account is the "social" one, i.e. how can we enforce that the ultra-fast amazingly optimal sitting scheme will be used. Let's conduct a thought…

Dictating the text is an extraordinary advice! I (still) didn't manage to build a decent blog, but I do write a lot. When I started to think about the text as if I were simply goin…

>almost every time i see a criticism of git it's about the way you use it not the tool itself. In my point of view, you cannot separate "the way you use the tool" with the "tool it…

Loved the story! Mostly because I lived this stuff, and I'm 25 years old :p. In my Electronic Engineering graduation we had three professors crazy about assembly and slow PCs (in f…
