School, and the socialization that occurs there, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Work is generally just work, it's not like your personal development suffers if you skip it.

This dude's stuff is incredible and I never heard of him before today. He should be famous!

I find that boredom is death for creativity, but tedium is a goldmine. If I'm not doing anything, I don't think of anything. If I have a tedious but active chore, I need to bring a…

Your analogy only holds if the customers to that pub were also supplying the drinks, the food, and handling the orders.

I believe the answers are CC-SA. But the parent to your response has a point - knowing that the answers are CC licensed and knowing that the owners might have a ten-figure exit are…

Not the person you originally asked, but an HOA is an additional layer for a start. Moreover it tends to have more restrictions, of a kind that would seem ridiculous at the level o…

What's the point of Bitcoin if it has to play by the same rules as other asset classes? It's supposed to be resilient against attempts to control it.

Instagram should allow users to simply set the number of likes to whatever they want to have displayed, and let it increment from there. If Instagram is letting people turn the fea…

I'd prefer blatant product placement, e.g. Kermit the Frog emerges from Greedo's corpse in the "Han Shoots First" version of "Star Wars" , looks directly at the camera, and tries t…

I'm surprised that "moral hazard" is rarely mentioned in these types of stories. By making their overtime effort available to the CEO as insurance against bad decisions, the engine…
