We might be doing fine on average, despite it. Yet, there are seemingly links to autoimmune diseases and cancers, and still more research to do. So maybe a good % of the population could be doing more fine without the micro plastics?

First off, I think the primary objective should be creating value for the company you work for. Bums in seats, lines of code written does not always produce value. I think any position where you can automate away your daily tasks, and that&

UI looks inconsistent, but I see a lot there to be excited about. If they are taking cues from the phone OS, then that's a very good thing IMO. I've always felt that was one of the nicer mobile UI's.

I don't like this logo at all. It's too complicated and feels contrived. The concept of just the shell was pretty cool, but the three colors doesn't add anything. I don't care what ideation process says, if it's not adding clarity or defini

I think the lighting is more impressive than the skin. Still, a cool tech demo!

I just like how G+ helps me share internet jokes with my friends, and at the same time, still be within my anti-social comfort zone.

Not that I don't appreciate these examples, but they shouldn't have to be in javascript for somebody to learn the algorithm. I've always learned more when I've read some pseudo code (or another language) and implemented an algorithm myself.

Your question tells me you have as good an understanding of the process as you need. Also, I think a good entrepreneur has a sense of what they can't do, ie. marketing, etc. That understanding comes with some failures as far as I can tell

One of my favourite all time talks was this: http://us.pycon.org/2009/conference/schedule/event/71/ Always a fan of learning new AI techniques with Python.

The design is great and I think you've done a good job at avoiding that spammy look (envisioning stock images of people with perfect teeth looking right at the camera).

I'm going to assume you're asking about frameworks as well since comparing PHP to CGI Python or CGI Ruby wouldn't exactly be fair (even though some people love to compare Rails/Django to pure PHP). This isn't a straightforward question, s

As uncomfortable as the thought is, I think I'd give this a shot. Regardless of the reliability of these claims, I respect people who question what's "normal" in society.

I don't think I've gone to random domains since I was on a 14.4 modem. I find it pretty hilarious that that domain can break even just parked.

I can't agree more that company culture is hard to change. Maybe even impossible. Trust is a huge factor in creating that culture, and despite outward appearance, friendship between employees does not equal trust. Open communication is the

Yeah, it sounded more tongue-in-cheek in my head than it comes across in the comment. If this is the reason we see spam results, then the benefit must outweigh the negative effect of potentially pissing of users.

The only benefit I can see to Google are a lot of those spam sites rely on AdSense to make their money. If it makes sense for a developer to register 100 domains and game some keywords, then they must be making a little money.

I think it's some valid info here, and it's certainly worth being wary of the info Google collects, but I also sense a little bit of FUD here. The whole "...which can often uniquely identify you" makes me feel like this is playing on fear a

Coming from a Canadian entrepreneur/hacker, I can say despite our best efforts it's still sort of hard to be taken seriously by some investors. Where I live there is still a huge focus on oil and energy, so unless your technology is appli

I'm not sure if I just had an epiphany, but I just sort of got lost in the thought of how our survival instinct prevents us from realizing our full potential. Good quote, thanks for sharing.

Was youtube also a matchmaking service? I'm a little confused by that "I'm a Male seeking ..." form below the login box.

I'm aware it is temporary, but I'm surely not the only one thinking that banner is more annoying than the occasional ad would have been.
