I can see the argument. I hope I'm not mischaracterizing is by saying your position is something like: because I can look up the best and what that looks like it is boring to striv…

As another commentator pointed out you seem entirely focused on consuming. Yes, I can see where this gets boring. I am less apt to visit Reddit because I've seen the same posts doz…

I am torn by this. On the one hand a weighted chain and buckled seat belt is a simple hack. On the other hand it is clear that they were intentionally attempting to get around Tesl…

I stumbled across the analysis below. Without wanting to be political, I'm sure that there is some valid explanation, but I'm curious. They Jupyter notebooks on github here: https:…

I had a diy one for a while. I found it really hard to type and walk. I can't imagine trying to type and run. These days I just make time for moving outside of work and change my p…

From the article he is saving the DoD some money on JTAC training operations. I'd imagine their role here would also save some money.

Here's a few from my own quick searching that I found most interesting/foundational/helpful: http://calnewport.com/blog/2009/07/08/grit-grinds-and-living... http://calnewport.com/b…

Would you be willing to link to what you consider the key blog posts? Thanks!

I think that's another article. I would be interested in seeing someone think through different form factors for mobile computing that could go hand in hand with the application le…

I had the same first thought, but I think it needs to be tempered somewhat. Some apps you can turn off notifications on. For example, Gmail on my phone I have turned off notificati…

I would venture that the problem with pcgbook.com is not the quality of writing, but the fact that most of the authors are not native english speakers. They seem to be mostly Dutch…

I have always heard it referred to as "a monkey's wedding." Though I think that came from my dad who grew up in apartheid South Africa, so it might be racist...

Could we have a referendum on the issue at the federal level, or would it require the states to individually ratify (through state governmental bodies or referendum) the right of a…

If you are just looking for fantasy that equalizes male and female practitioners of magic Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series levels the playing field. In fact, it is seriously ti…

Calacanis' reaction is an interesting one. As he states himself it was the risky, not socially acceptable, decision to make. His telling of the story makes it seem that he made the…

WOO HOO!! I'll join you. :) In all seriousness, its about building something that I can say "Yeah, that was me." not hide my face anytime someone mentions the product. It is nice t…

Excellent story, though I must admit I have read it before. I always wonder will history judge us the same way we judge them? Will the entrepreneurial spirit that is pervasive in h…

True, its not startup news, but it is a moderately interesting article, and obviously the community loved it. Well, that or they were trying to suck up to pg. ;)

HaHa! Yes thank you Paul, I was just about to swear off of Reddit for good, and this is the tipping point. I will probably still visit there to get my inane fun for the day, but I …

I agree entirely. I am just out of undergrad, and working is a major step down socially. If it weren't for my Customer Service job I would probably interact with no more than 5 peo…

web 2.0 and web s.3xy ...well sort of ;)
