Great book and I just bought it. Is it possible to get a version with a white background for better printing?

Praise from me for the naughty tactic regardless of execution. If you're note sure if you did the right thing then find some consolation in the fourth point on this page: http://paulgraham.com/founders.html Let us know how it goes.

You have learned a language sounds like you are done learning. The longer I spent with a language (both formal and natural ones) the more I am aware of what I don't know yet. Since I realize that, I never considered having learned a languag

Beautiful graph. The notes with the graph are TC;DNG for me (too complicated; did not get). Sounded impressive though.

I think you are spot on. It's the same reason why making a successful online dating website is very hard.

I recommend refraining from using the W word when getting an initial quote if you can.

Thank you. So different densities are sufficient, not liquidity? From the same article on Wikipedia: "Dissipation of heat from the mantle is acknowledged to be the original source of energy driving plate tectonics, through convection or lar

Interesting but I am not getting it. How does plate movement happen without a liquid substrate?

The scientist in the article claims that Mars still has tectonic movements which strikes me as odd. I thought the consensus on Mars tectonics was that it has stopped a long time ago. If there is movement than the core must be liquid and mov

Profits for the books are somewhat malleable by an accountant. There are still limitations to what you can do. For tax, rules are tighter. Even revenue is often not objective. For example, I sell someone a subscription to a service for a ye

The bottleneck to a large extend is the bandwith/costs of transmitting the extra data. NASA will create higher resolution images by stiching low res imagery for us wanting higher res.

I stand corrected. they use Javascript in a headless browser to generate the site previews. Detailed information on how Javascript is interpreted to index sites is hard to find. I would not count on Javascript to instruct Google Bot what to

The google bot won't touch any javascript, it will just follow links. You can consider a link to a directory to the different themes.

Great initiative. Can the mere length of a TOS and it's complexity be a factor in the rating too? The crowd here may be able to somewhat grasp the legalese in a TOS. It's not fair to expect that from any normal visitor.

Looks clean to me. Check out for yourself of course. Does bring up an interesting dilemma. We all download code, libraries etc. all the time without going through it with a fine comb...

I think meetup had the post to Craigslist a long time a go. Not sure if the still do it.

Why did Craigslist decided to sue padmapper but let housingmaps.com live for many years is puzzling to me. Anyone has an idea why?

Yes that's possible. It would not be able to capture as much detail but you would get surpisingly far. The technique is called stacking in astrophotography. There is special software for it. Searching on astrophotography+software will get y

Reminds me of Annette Benning in American Beauty: "I will sell this house today. I will sell this house today." Not starting on activities because you don't like them or you don't feel not comfortable will drag you down. You'll be thinking

I write my to-dos in a plain text file. I try to avoid writing down actions; I prefer deliverables because it's clearer when you actually have achieved something. I prefix to-do items with a character if the status changes immediately after

I had the same issues for a long time. Here are some things that worked for me: - Young children! They will tire you out to the point that you will actually sleep. - Doing what you like for a day job. Makes a big difference. - No screens fo

If you enjoy programming in it, mostly doing http work and you think you can find talented , smart php developers in your area, go for it. If your ideas need thing like massive concurrency or lots of number crunching, you may want to look a

Beef especially is very taxing on the environment. It takes a lot of energy to get to beef and there is methane from cow manure causing greenhouse effects. I enjoy a nice steak but suggesting there is no negative side effect to the environm

Sounds rational but the numbers dont't add up. There is still a net loss of forests. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest#Forest_loss_and_manageme... Quote: In the United States, most forests have historically been affected by humans
