A tiny suggestion: the field where you type the route should say "Or type it and click go", not just "Or type it and click." It's a little clearer. I see that you fully spell it out at the very top, but I skipped past that, and I suspect a

Bloc( http://www.bloc.io/ ) does exactly that. "This is perfect for someone who wants to enroll in something like Dev Bootcamp but can't because they don't live in San Francisco." I'm part of their fall cohort that's about to start and so f

We think we are more obsessed with apps than pretty much anyone, so others might want to see what we have to say. What are the main hashtags for this purpose right now? That sounds like a good idea, too.

I don't have any UX training (Econ major, myself), but I recommend making bigger stories take up more space, like TechMeme does. I do like how you de-emphasized related stories, because they make TechMeme kind of noisy. I also miss the pi

The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-first Century by Thomas P. M. Barnett. It's like The World is Flat on steroids. It's probably even more pro free trade. It's the most optimistic look at world affairs I've ever seen. Th

Another good Behavioral Economics book: Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman I liked it a lot better than Predictably Irrational.

Eliminating high school would cut the amount of taxes needed for public schooling, and would instead increase tax revenue by putting more people in the workforce. Not to mention that a more experienced (real-world experience) workforce mig

Asperger's is very poorly understood, and this misunderstanding is really hard on suffferers (I am one.) The cause of all the varied symptoms is that we have a slight delay in processing sounds, as explained in this article: http://www.

The US will remain the top innovator, if for no other reason than that nobody else innovates very much. I don't know how people came up with China as an innovator. The article doesn't mention just how far ahead we are. We made Google, Yo
