    I don't think the article mentioned this, but one of the big reasons behind all of this homework is the personality of the people dolling out the homework: Conscientious people can…

    I had the most homework in Middle School and Graduate School. Not sure why exactly, just something strange that I noticed. Ended up dropping out of Grad School over the excessive b…

    I took a technical interview today over the phone, and you know what, they were pretty fair with their questions. I don't know what kind of competition I'm up against for the posit…

    I use to be an Altavista user. In Middle School one of my teachers showed us Google in the computer lab and I've been using it ever since. What I remember standing out at the time …

    I got downvoted big time the other day for a very similar comment to this, but it needs to be said: People that complain about ads have obviously never had anything that they neede…

    People that complain about this stuff obviously have never launched an app before. If you don't record what people are doing with your app, then you're not going to have any idea i…

    They've really fixed the effectiveness of their ads with the site redesign, so maybe the increased valuation is worth it. Not really something end consumers notice, but as an adver…

    Hey Tones411, I actually created an app that does this for Android called RoboStop. Check it out! Unfortunately Google will be removing the app from the Play Store on March 9th due…

    That's the problem with lawyers and administrators. Wag should have just ignored their lawyers and did the right thing. It's pretty easy to see what happened here, the executives/a…

    This. I hate hearing all this co-founder stuff all the time. While I'm sure it works for some people, I've found the whole co-founder thing to be a terrible idea. The only positive…

    The reason YC is always talking about finding co-founders is because Paul Graham had co-founders. Had Paul Graham gone at things alone, YC would probably be preaching the virtues o…

    I moved my old blog to a new domain name recently, and wasn't able to keep using Medium because they no longer support custom domains. So now I'm using WordPress for my blogging so…

    My Dad recently switched his email from Verizon to Yahoo. I plead with him to use Gmail but he didn't listen. Baby Boomers love Yahoo!

    $120 Billion valuation on $2.6 billion in annual revenue? Seems like a pretty steep price to me! Note: I believe that $2.6B figure that I found does not include the amount of ride …
