Of course, blame the education system for your own poor skill as a writer. Sarcasm remains, as it always has, difficult to pull in written language. Always funny to see bad writers…

I like you said "got arrested" instead of "got thrown into jail indefinitely". Are any Occupiers in prison without having committed crimes worthy of the sentence? Or are you just b…

If that was the case, then why are the CEO's putting their personal names on the line? It's trivially simple for an expendable PR person or lawyer to go on the blog and make an "of…

>It would be really cool to have a personal 23andMe api where people can test themselves without sending data to a 3rd party. The point of 23andMe is that they're trying to figure …

It's probably simple: "Is this hearing of the same security level as the information being requested? No? It's public with the press writing about it? Deny. Deny. Deny." The fact t…

>Logical fallacies are only relevant in certain narrow rhetorical modes and contexts. Specifically, logical fallacies are only relevant in rational arguments. The only quote that m…

You've been brainwashed. There is no such thing as a free lunch. All services cost. Who will pay for your free service? Venture capital only lasts so long. The best option for cons…

Let's take some shaky numbers: In 2011 Zynga had US$1.1 Billion in revenue[2] and the video industry was worth about US$74 billion in the same year. Assuming that Zynga's revenue i…

Such absolutist, black and white descriptions of these situations are, quite frankly, terrible . I mean, you take business and politics and compare it to a life or death struggle a…

Why only Huffington Post publication? They're widely known for alt-medicine and anti-science, and anyone reading science/medicine should rightfully be wary of anything on HuffPo, w…

Yeah, to each their own. You still sound extremely anti-science to me, so it's very clear we're going to have diametrically opposed opinions. Thanks for sharing!

It goes to show you, even adults with degress can act like children. If you had engaged me in discussion, you would have realized that the assumptions you made were incorrect. Inst…

> Look into the history of health advice and you'll find the same pattern: something is said to be healthy and people are told to do it. Later it is found to be unhealthy, often dr…

Hey, just jumping in, I have a BS in Biology and api's post here is full of non-scientific and pseudoscientific garbage. I believe he suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect and his…

I thought Persona was an _idea_. I personally haven't seen a single Persona login in the wild.

I agree. I love OAuth idea and the single-sign on flow. I love having one source where I can go and see all of the sites that have my info, and I love being able to rescind my acco…

Why do people assume that voxels and polygons don't play well together? There are voxel engines now that store world data using voxels while what the player actually sees is polygo…

It's not that simple. When you access an American network, your usage is governed my American laws -- period. You make it sound like if you hacked into Paypal from Germany you'd be…

Honestly, I'm just glad someone took that Gangnam Style pistachio commercial out back and shot it finally. I'm scared to even mention the commercial though, in fear that I will go …

Yep, I love Netflix and loved every second of House of Cards! Although I have the opposite issue with Netflix. Lack of constantly added content makes their library feel stale at ti…

> Hulu, Netflix and Amazon all produce original content and are perfectly positioned to disrupt them as their distribution volume increases. Uhh, as a Hulu subscriber, I'll just le…
