Yeah but this is an article about American colleges, and Americans don't read 'college' as 'community college'. College = undergrad. If people from outside the US don't understand …

These talks are actually video streamed live and available thereafter. You can watch the video of this class (MS&E 472) and some other engineering courses at cetus.stanford.edu

I love those shows, but how can you say they aren't biased? As a liberal, I at least take pride in understanding that when I watch Steward/Colbert/Olbermann/Maddow, I'm watching pa…

Or maybe he has a teenage daughter.

Which is why the 10K hour rule is absolute nonsense. It is meant to sell books by appealing to talentless individuals that make up the vast majority of the population. If you spend…

How dare Yelp steal Foursquare's idea. Once somebody has an idea, nobody can ever try to do the same thing. EVER. Hopefully Foursquare has already patented their idea, so that nobo…

This actually seems really helpful. I can see variables saving me a lot of time. I hate going back to a sheet I haven't used in a while and not knowing what any of the colors are. …

Way to go out and cheapen a heartfelt and inspirational story.

The slogan of the site should be 'marketingy'. You think people who are looking for advice on "how to climb to corporate ladder" wanna watch videos of entrepreneurs? Their slogan i…

Surely you mean Stanford. Silicon Valley is just an extension of the campus.

What is your graduate degree in?

Jeff Bezos wanted to start Amazon. Bill Gates wanted to start Microsoft. Steve Jobs wanted to start Apple.

I hate software patents and don't think they should be issued at all, but the idea that "if, on the other hand, the troll was required to show the startup had some prior knowledge …

She's just calling it like she sees it. And she sees it each and every day. With lesser engineers, Facebook would've degraded into MySpace very quickly.

Wear out the reload button on your browser. -what does this mean?

Most Early Admissions programs are no longer binding. Students from families earning less than 100K no longer have to pay tuition at several top schools. Every school I was accepte…

LOL. Pincus had the absolute worst speech at "Startup School". He didn't prepare anything and just meandered aimlessly from one thought to the next, rambling on about his life stor…

Anything that cites Outliers instantly loses credibility for me. Maybe his presentations became more visual throughout the decades because of the technology available.

Well according to Quantcast, this site now only gets 5.9K US visitors a month, so you might not need even 5K to have a decent site. At its peak HN got around 17.4K. Showing the sum…

Yup this is similar to the cool thing that Chegg introduced after years of just facilitating student-to-student exchanges. I used to just sell to students directly (and usually cou…

My personal opinion is that it's time to let SQL and RDMS go. Free the world from the shackles of schema.

You go to business school because you need that MBA for your job or to switch jobs. It is not about learning. It is about networking (and partying) for two years. If you want to be…

Xbox has done pretty well. There's too much blind Microsoft hate on this site.

Wow. And check out www.fundable.com Customers are encouraged to use Kickstarter as a replacement for Fundable.com and seek legal action against Louis Helm personally should he fail…

The hilarity continues at PDXCell.com Check out the section entitled: "A response to this page". Shoulda known he was an Apple fanboy.
