Thanks for the perspective. You're almost certainly correct that I am overthinking it.

I want to send interested users email updates about my progress with the app they're signing up to use. I see three choices (fill me in if I'm missing any): 1. Simply add users to …

There are many sites out there, such as FounderDating, FoundersHookUp, CoFoundersLab, etc., that attempt to help solo startup founders find a co-founder. (To clarify, I am a tech f…

I actually disagree that you shouldn't read "Roots." I just finished it myself, and it's about as close as you can get to experiencing what it would be like to be taken away from y…

Also -- it took the Civil War to end slavery in this country.

Conking is one example.

If you haven't read the book, how can you even begin to have formed a judgment of him?

Consider reading the comments on that article. A lot of good points are made about why Reading Rainbow is worthwhile.

Another way to put it: Malcolm X was authentic in everything he did, and that was something this country needed. He was able to articulate more clearly than anyone else the implica…

Actually, his views were rapidly evolving at the time of his death. Read the whole book.

Everyone should really just read the entire Autobiography. http://www.amazon.com/The-Autobiography-Malcolm-Told-Haley/d... Also, they should spell "Malcolm" correctly. :)

As one who is serious about web apps, I have some different feedback for you. I would pay at least $300 for the interviews alone. While there are clearly improvements that could be…

How about evaluating the work itself -- through the sample, or buying the book and asking for money back if it's unsatisfactory?

> For the price of the book alone ($29), I could watch 100+ hours of tutorials on a site like Lynda or Tuts+ from a variety of developers with similar experience. I'm having a hard…

For other busy people, it's also worth pointing out that the schedule is very slow and focused on understanding. For instance, we are taking the introduction one section per day. T…

This is the field we choose. Expand your thinking in the abstract about what a database is. As 71104 mentions, a file system is also a database. What you are thinking of as "a data…

As a sports fan, I wonder what's specific about the sports industry in this analysis? Vanity metrics are an issue for any business with a digital presence. Maybe left unsaid is the…

Maybe. It depends on what we as a society want our government to spend money on. Considering our current demands in this country (no cuts to entitlements), I think it requires at l…

People can't vote away multi-million dollar CEO bonuses, though.

It's a nice intention, but how do you devise that mechanism? If I keep $10,000 in my savings account for 30 years, are you going to tax it every year?

Without government to pay for the roads citizens drive to their businesses, and the infrastructure that gives them water and temperature moderation, and 1,000 other things that are…

This is an extremely abstract argument. It's a matter of degree. If everyone gave all their money to charity, we'd have no government at all.

>Maybe the tax code needs tweaking at the level of the top 400, but it's very progressive up to the level of the top 1%. If you read the whole piece, that's exactly what he says.
