Out of curiosity, how would they know this? "Aero Snap has been used 150,957,478 times in the last month." Doesn't seem like an estimate...

the santa claus/god realization could have been like 12 or 13, I don't remember exactly when I was told there was no santa, I'm estimating. I know I was three with the death thing, my parents remember me crying myself to sleep repeatedly m

besides "you and everyone you know are going to die" at age 3, or "there is no santa claus" which logically led to "God is an imaginary friend for grown ups" at age 10. The fact that we're all akin to lumbering flesh robots designed to help

while that's a great idea in principle, in practice, no one's going to lend you $120k to invest in startups. If you've got the cash and you're looking to pay out of pocket, it's a nice idea. but to my knowledge the gov't doesn't over low

My first business was incredibly similar to yours in terms of success. A partner and I share about $75K/year in profit, and at this point we only answer occasional technical support (no custom development or contracting). Neither of us wer

the more I read about evolution, emergence, etc, the more I start to feel that life is almost as common as rock, and not all that much more interesting. all it needs is a highly interactive environment of molecules. water and carbon works
