Yeah, show some promise for fuck's sake. Like Nip Alert, Big Head's app. It gives you the location of a woman with erect nipples. Now that's something people want.

The patent system is truly broken.

The subconscious mind is a very powerful thing. Even if you say you don't respect those people more than others, it doesn't mean that you don't.

Money does correlate to happiness, so long as you have enough of it to live comfortably. Beyond that point, additional money does not increase happiness.

There's an important distinction between simply being ambitious about achieving greatness, and feeling as though you were destined, or meant, to achieve greatness. The former accou…

Yeah, that stuck out to me as well. Thinking like that is a sign that there may be larger issues at play here. Truly satisfied and happy people don't believe themselves to have bee…

This is not a privacy issue. As with age, people are not expected to state their race in an interview, nor are employers allowed to discriminate based on race, yet this diversity r…

No age data?

There are 64,000 plaintiffs. Source: http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/08/judge-rejects-comically-low...

Worse still, he starts with "design needs to stop with the feel-good bullshit", but ends with a bunch of save-the-world feel-good bullshit. The fact that Silicon Valley has not sol…

The example set for the in the article, Hugh Hewitt's interview with Zach Carter, is possibly the worst example the author could have used for ignorance in the media. While ignoran…

Great, so now I have to maintain an updated LinkedIn profile, contribute to various open source projects on GitHub, sustain an active StackOverflow profile, and complete coding cha…

Why not keep the account but only use it if someone messages you or requests to be a friend? To me that's the useful part of Facebook. The news feed is just nonsense.

First off, two of their "studies" simply compared the hamburger icon to different types of icons, but the functionality remained the same (slide out). Only one looked at changing t…

Yes, it is more misogynistic than rock.

Why can't it be both? You might have a question as to why Piketty gets so much credit, but the two are not mutually exclusive.

I'm not very familiar with this product, but wouldn't the predictive analytics features help with inventory management?

Sorry but they lost me when they disparaged anti-SOPA efforts as being "information exceptionalism". There's a very big difference between information property and "real" property.…

Yeah, exactly, and even though you're technically prohibited from excluding Americans in the job ads, take it from Cohen & Grigsby, there's plenty of ways around that problem: http…

Although I believe he meant "public" as in, people who were affected but not directly filing the lawsuits. So, as you say, people who worked for or were affiliated with the affecte…

So even though you acknowledge that the taxation system is unfair, and that it's due to a corrupt system. Despite the fact that this corrupt crony-capitalist system involves two ac…

He probably avoids paying as much tax as he can, but he also probably doesn't spend millions lobbying politicians. The same can't be said for Apple.

The government screws up the tax laws because they have been captured by the lobbying arms of large multi-national corporations, including Apple. It's no surprise then that those s…

It's bad because it's unfair. If everyone, including small businesses, got to pay 0% tax, then you might have a good argument. But as it stands, we have a 35% corporate tax rate fo…

Can you elaborate on this? Because there were plenty of projects funded by no-bid government contracts that failed. Likewise, plenty of government R&D dollars have also gone toward…
