I am about to graduate college (taking second to last final at 1730 this evening). I will very soon start working full-time at a job that puts the household of just me into the top…

While McMaster shipping certainly isn't free, it's always overnight, and often less than 100% of cost, so if Amazon is actually 2x price, McMaster still makes sense. Side note: McM…

When discussing data-portability of social networks, Facebook's data download feature is sometimes brought up. I periodically use this feature, to see if it has improved any since …

One minor quibble: "sexual content" is a set that most definitely does include "homosexual content". There's no need to grant Happeh the idea that they weren't properly warned. It …

What? The way to fight terrorism is to provide an environment where people not want to be terrorists. Terrorism requires no state sponsored infrastructure. Bombing places to hell d…

And indeed - by declaring yourself mature enough to handle a startup at a young age, you're also declaring yourself mature enough to act like a human being. Young people in promine…

Perhaps, but if we can continue to make it known that inappropriate behavior is unacceptable, it will be impossible for them to miss the signs. Women shouldn't have be the only one…

While I think this is a great idea (and similar to things I've been slowly working on in spare time), I don't think that the execution really does "Fair" or "Fact based" justice. T…

A lot of people seem to be surprised about the ToS for this. It sounds to me to be clearly a tool for fans , not "Entepreneurs". I know tons of people who would love to analyze spo…

I'm worried that in presenting math with visible, tangible intuition dominant will do more to silo the knowledge inside the ivory tower. N-variable calculus isn't something that yo…

$1 Billion in profit => $1/(user year) in profit for 2011, correct? That's pretty darn good money, but not a huge amount more room for user-growth. They'll grow by having new busin…

Now I know what Android users feel like when people announce endless iPhone-only mobile apps. I was super bummed that I missed the last Humble Bundle, since it was chock full of ga…

One of the reasons Tesla is better positioned than other makers to do well in electric cars is how they've designed the Model S. It's from the ground up designed with being electri…

I've long wondered how well using a DOM serializer that was a reasonable inverse of a browser would work. I feel like it appeals to my math-y "generalize everything" side, but migh…

This announcement in particular stood out as meaningful to me, because it seems with the iTunes U app, Apple is taking on Blackboard. There are few products that, as a student, mor…

Absolutely. The dissonance caused by re-implimentations of standard UI elements has caused me to uninstall many phone applications, several desktop applications, and avoid purchasi…

That is a fairly disappointing rebuttal by him. Hopefully we can simultaneously absorb the good of a nuanced discussion of the issue and condemn bad arguments about it by the same.…

I wonder how much of this acknowledgement can be done effectively as a group vs. as individuals. It seems like individuals can change their behavior very well this way, which event…

I really enjoyed this article. Harris O'Malley seems to actually see the real problem , and expresses it with a hell of a lot more nuance than most other treatments of the subject …

This page, like several other parts of Facebook, is completely inoperable for me. Something in the page dies before it gets to the tag. This is perhaps irrelevant to the topic, but…

As someone else who disables flash, I hope this isn't all that I am missing. These are all video/audio applications, for which non-flash implementations of the same application (Yo…

>> But what worries me is the amount of stupid businessmen who’ll be copying Jobs’s behaviour. (I say “businessmen” on purpose, since I’ve yet to encounter a businesswoman, on any …

This is true - the Google Voice app is now much much better, but it is worth pointing out that there were tons of bugs that weren't fixed for over a year, like: * freezing irrecove…
