If you are friends though shouldn't you be able to work through some really hard problems together and go through the ups and downs as a team? I find that friendship is an added bonus that helps you push through tough challenges that would

Growing and expanding your network is a good thing to do in general. Doesn't hurt to have as many friends as possible with multiple different skillsets. Growing from an idea to a business will require many different people along the way wil

Fair enough I personally do not care what you believe in, if it is the tooth fairy or ganesh or yawheh or nothing at all. One of the points the article was making was that people naturally distrust atheists due to the fact they cannot deriv

Look that is fine. But part of the article states that there is no basis for morality outside of a higher power. If there is no moral authority higher than humans then on what grounds do you begin to build a belief system. It will just dege

I'll take a stab at it and throw my 0.2 in I have had Facebook since 2004. Facebook became uncool when it opened up the site to people who weren't in your same college. Once everyone from Myspace and Friendster joined Facebook it became unc

Just thinking out loud I believe wheat and other similiar commodities are traded across state lines and therefore the personal growth of a commodity can exert a substantial effect on the overall industry which because it is traded across st

Personally I agree with him 100% that brand association can be an imperfect signal and predictor of a person's abilities and future success and that people rely too heavily on association and image instead of tangible accomplishments. Howev

The defense that prop trading source code didn't count as interstate commerce because it was for internal use and therefore didn't fall under applicable federal statues is brilliant. However the defense that this was a digital transfer and

I maybe wrong but I believe it depends on what you want to do with your degree. If you want to do video game programming I would think that the core physics coursework would be a definite prerequisite. I'm pretty sure more hardware related

When I was young man, now I feel old just saying that, hacking meant unauthorized access to computer systems. If you were a hacker you were a in general a blackhat because at that point no one knew what pen testing was or a that you could m

When I read that scientists were able to grow human organs for transplant I thought that it was a great step forward for human progress. For some reason I feel this might be a step backward. Though I welcome any arguments that state this co

My guess is that Foursquare banned this application from receiving data from the API due to its aggregating data with Facebook which is a violation of Foursquare's TOS. I could be wrong but I have seen other applications do similiar things

This assumes people are faithful in their relationships right? I wonder if any dating sites have quantified the churn rating for their usage and does it correlate with wider trends in dating such as average length of relationships % of peop

I wonder if someone has ever tried to quantify the bump you get from a "shock value" strategy for an app like this i.e increased press and people talking about your app. I would like to see it measured against taking a more general approach
