You just explained what s wrong with unsubstantiated groupthink and bullying. I won't buy your book.

The connection between frustration and aggressiveness is largely false (1) , unless you can point to a reliable source. The nerds that I know are not at all as you describe, and I wonder why you choose such derisive words. http://www.jstor

One thing about ubuntu (and the reason i prefer it) is that it works well with new hardware mostly out-of-the-box. If you use it on laptops that is a big plus. If you hate too much eyecandy, xubuntu is an obvious option. But maybe i have ov

The reason i prefer xubuntu is the fact that Kubuntu is going the way of ubuntu by investing heavily on eyecandy, touch-like interfaces and excessive UI bloat. KDE seems to be the best overall platform for development, but the interface is

Ours must be the only generation ever willing to blame the previous one for just about everything. Also, by what measure is the world a worse place today?

Well, go to Eurodisney and compare kids that speak different languages. French kids are generally well behaved, with other southerneuropeans being the noisiest.

A previous article about how chinese mothers are better created quite a stir. Is there some sort of parenting crisis in the US that leads to this kind of soul-searching? (I m not in the US, so i'm curious to know)

On topic: this will probably not roll as-is. How about a $1/month fee (or even $1/year would be enough i think)? How about pay-to-read posts? Off topic, since a blog is the "hello world" of web development for quite a few years now: how man

That definition doesnt make sense. Guerilla warfare by definition attacks an army . Terrorism has to do with fear and coercion. Plus i don't think terrorists make any distinction in their targets.

Indeed, it solves the wrong problem. We are not lacking in tech news access over here, we are lacking in knowing who is around, what is around, who is hiring, who is firing, who funds, who succeeds, who fails, who is searching for cofounder

Just throwing it into the mix, what would it take to convince Google to stop indexing the content of journal articles from closed-access journals? Surely without search, the articles are siloed; both journals and authors get a taste of the

Until the academia realizes that computers can read too, it's important for companies that DO have access to these papers (like google scholar[1]) to create 3rd party APIs so that we can at least have better search tools. 1. http://code.go

So the consensus is still that this is all cool because there are no IP violations? Because i think there is, with this being a public company and all. I would like one of their investors to come forward and at least say something for once.

It's always interesting to see how others experience their introversion, not least because by definition introverts do not exchange much. For me it's not about "time to recharge", i tend to think like an introvert even when being the center

That's what i wish to know, is he faking extroversion or not.

Interesting that you consciously chose to be more "outgoing". I believe that (ex-)introverts still have less need for others. Do you believe that your needs have changed too, e.g would you be OK if you went back to living like an introvert

Some people often feel that the drawbacks of social interaction outweigh the benefits. Some other people feel the opposite. At one point both choose to believe that social interactions are or are not of high value, and through daily social

I wonder why people find this surprising. Groupthink involves substantial compromises so you end up with least-common-denominator solutions. Epics throughout history often talk about the accomplishments of Great (Wo)Men, but not of Great Gr

You can do it at home. For me and other hardgainers it's actually recommended that you do short, intense workouts, where you can scream and gasp without worrying that you are being ridiculous. It takes up very little time and the feeling is

Please don't build a self-building satellite! The thing will expand until it hides the sun from us! There are already plenty of biology databases, it's just that people don't know yet what to make out of that data. Build an Etsy for Intell

Playing the devil's advocate one may say: - Both cases involve IP and money. The immoral of the story is that in piracy the copyright holder loses money from the theft. In code theft, the immoral of the story is not that the holder loses mo
