Yup. It's hardly any different to the standard sorting, because facebook's business is controlling what you see. I don't know why people keep spreading that like it's some protip.

I think that sets a bad environment, because who decides what historically important is? How many years does it become "historic"? A much simpler and better solution is to not exte…

No, but I think as long as the bug bounties pay enough to keep someone comfortable (along with added notoriety/resume padding with it), you'll have enough moral people choosing to …

I know this is anecdotal, but everyone I know uses Venmo. I have never met anyone who uses Square Cash or Messenger, and I have both apps. To be fair, I don't know anyone in the US…

Why would they need samples when the chemical structure is so widely known[1]? It's not like it's a biologic where sequence and other formulation details are critically important. …

Stuff like this often makes me consider writing an open source version of whatever the software is. If I really had to base my long-term livelihood off a piece of proprietary softw…

Perhaps making the student share a portion of the cost would be smarter. Maybe make the student pay 5 or 10k or the 30. Alternatively, everyone could be adults and settle for a sma…

I wont disagree that perhaps the US system could use reform/overhaul, but it's a bit more complicated than you describe. When you compare how medical schools and medical school adm…

Someone was arguing to me recently that this has all come about because of some court cases in the 80s and 90s. They claim that one case in particular, between Notre Dame and the f…

What's so entitled about it? The IMF is a creditor just like any other, and assumes risks when it makes loans. The duty of the Greek government is—without question—to its people. W…

This isn't the first antibody therapy that tries to reduce plaques (Bapineuzumab, solanezumab, gantenerumab, crenezumab, etc.), but is it the first one to "work" correctly, but sti…

$100k in SF is laughable (for that kind of commitment). If you're not offering $200k minimum, it's not even worth 60 seconds of consideration. Unless you really really believe in t…

> Yet Mr Buffett’s 50th letter to shareholders is an exception, serving to muddy rather than clarify, for two reasons. First, because it does not tackle the questions that hang ove…
