Personally I'd split practice into 3 phases: 1. Hanon's Finger Exercises, mistakes are unacceptable during practice, 'specially while doing these. Use a metronome and master each exercise. Start slow and work your way up. 2. Learn music the

Don't worry man, I have this Nexus One phone where the touchscreen registers touch on the side of the phone, and the advertised multitouch doesn't even work, never mind not receiving updates for the rest of my life (my hardware bugs cost me

No it's not, quite a few teachers work everyday to 'improve themselves', sucks that you got the shitty lot of the teachers but the fact is at the end of the day what matters most is what you teach yourself.

Actually, a lot of parents I know talk about how ridiculously expensive it is to put their kid through college/university and to help pay for housing when compared to when they were young.

I don't know what shift managers you know, but the ones I know don't pull much more then what the standard employee gets.

I hope it takes off! The front page seems pretty crowded though, have you guys thought about having it take more of a focus on the content instead of recent comments, login, etc. in the center?

No I don't really find it interesting, if you read the comments you would see someone else had an issue with renewing on the app store. The blog not only doesn't go into any 'background information', but it reads like a bad experience mixed

Yeah it sucks, but posting this on HN is a bit much. As the guidelines say "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might b

Screw the other people, I can relate and I know many other people who can too. Some people think it's better to tie someone onto a hospital bed and medicate them so they don't commit suicide, and then they call suicide a selfish act. The la

Saul Williams has always said he was very happy with the result despite 80% of downloaders taking it for free. Trent made a point later on the nin forum that allowing people to choose how much your product is worth really devalues it, but o

It would be very inconvenient for the entire world but I totally support it, and I hope it happens soon because it would send a very powerful message to many people around the world about bills like SOPA.

Learning about group dynamics and social situations is probably the most important part of middle/high school, and more often then not homeschooled kids are at a disadvantage in these situations when they finish school then when compared to

I totally agree, picking someone as a cofounder that will be taking leave for their newborn baby is insane, but I had 'lower' positions in mind when I was talking about flexibility.

This might be accurate with some people, but it can't be applied to everyone. I am working towards everything I want, and honestly I think the journey is much more desirable then the end result. A big part of Zen is killing your ego, and I

I find it ironic that you would say this about a type of business that is usually praised for it's ability to be flexible with work hours, granted that the employees finish what they are expected to finish. This obviously varies with positi

I think it is important to be wary of who piracy actually hurts though. I very strongly believe that piracy does hurt someone in the music industry, not the artist, but rather the major record labels. I remember seeing stats 4 years ago tha

Over in Vancouver at BCIT I know that there are a few business diploma programs where the students end up studying just as much (and sometimes even more!) then the engineering diploma programs. This is clearly a special case but I think it'

Exactly! Jobs is great but Gates' work is so much more important then Jobs' iPhone that it's incomparable.

Pretty much everyone I know in College only order online due to it's convenience. Domino's isn't the best pizza in the world but their website is built pretty well, and as a result most pizzas you find on the college campus I am thinking of

Yes you save more people in the short term but the risk for disease transmission jumps up quite a lot. I'm sure that not even the doctors really like the fact of the matter but they have to accept it because they must save lives and not tak

I don't have enough fingers to count the amount of people I have met who refer to their customers as 'dumb fucks' (or something similar). Instead of holding him accountable for what he said 7 years ago lets hold him accountable by his actio

I know some corn/soy bean farmers but not very well. All the farmers I know really well (and have to a point grown up with) are livestock farmers, and they live on a farm and do farm work because they love it. It is not their primary job, m

In 2003 it reports that small farms that have $10,000 - $249,999 in sales to be 34% of all farms (in 2003), which is still quite significant compared to the 4.8% that industrial complexes (1.7%) and very large family farms (3.1%) hold.

Everyone is free to express themselves, being accused is just a side effect of expression. Hell, Arrington took a stab at jwz in his response. jwz's advice is extremely valid, it doesn't matter if it's about VCs or vending machines. You hav

Small family farms represent 91% of all the farms in the US. 59% of food production in the US is in due thanks to large family farms. There are actually very few industrial food complexes in the US, although it is interesting to note that m

Most people I know who work all day on a farm do it because they absolutely love it and would imagine living no other life.
