One of my tried and true learning habits that help tremendously is reading/watching the content VERY QUICKLY -- and not for full comprehension. I watch all educational videos at 2x speed as well as audio books first. With prose I spe

"Not one of the top 10 highest grossing movies of 2016 was a live-action non-sequel/remake." Actually 1 was: Suicide Squad. It was indeed a live-action non-sequel/remake.

But grossly under-producing infuriates people who won't be able to purchase the product for months due to a silly marketing ploy. I still cannot buy the Nintendo classic in-store, and it came out 4th quarter 2016.

Not to nit-pick, but Sweet Potatoes are not Keto friendly. They will knock you out of ketosis pretty quick, even if you are keto-adapted. A better alternative is cauliflower. It can be used in most of the same places as potatoes, but is a

What kind of system are you working on?? That is ridiculous. Flash has never made any computer that I have ever owned reset.

I'm glad Basic Income was brought up. If we continue to see automation and outsourcing grow, and as a result corporate profits soar, then as a country we need to plan for the loss of a host of "traditional' jobs.

It's also possible to have policy that is intended to stifle, or harm a specific race. I mean Jim Crow laws were less than half a century ago. It's a shame that we have to debate this in 2015...

Thanks, for the clarification. I am aware of the aliens and recent Scientology association. I am not NOI, nor prescribe to their beliefs, but I can see why they were attractive during the "civil rights era".

It seems to me, in many cases, hate for Malcolm X is usually centered around his view of militancy as a viable option and his connection to the Nation of Islam. America was established through violent militancy, so I don't understand t

Flash is still awesome for animation. After Effects for compositing.

If a person is over 18 in the US they are an adult, and to base this on what actions they choose to take is the wrong metric. For instance, My wife and I work a lot and choose not to handle the major cleaning tasks, such as mopping, dustin

Except for the "colored people" comment I wholly agree with your take. As a black guy, there is little real understanding of the lack of barriers to becoming a programmer. This alone holds a lot of minorities back, without addin

Wow... The root cause of poverty is incompetent education? What about the college educated poor? What about the failure of the voucher program in Milwaukee? Why are public schools with the same "limousine liberals" operating the

You should let us know exactly who has the right to reproduce. Poor people don't?

I think he means dev services, not necessarily a product. It's still a good idea, but you must be one hell of a salesman or have some folks who truly believe in you.

Good UX and UI designers require a period of acclimation to a certain industry. Be prepared to educate them so that they can best optimize for your product domain. It's unlikely that you will find many within specific niches, so you will

No, not at all. If you can identify the group doing the stealing it is fine to take appropriate countermeasures. If not, to chastise people based on an uninformed bias or negative feeling toward a certain group is wrong.

Stereotypes don't come out of nowhere - you are correct. But they can oftentimes be the fruit of outdated, biased, or incorrect opinions with no connection to the truth. To clarify what I said above, if young Asian girls are stealing from

How is it possible to ignore the positive things white people have done for society? This argument is flawed because, as a majority (in America that is), there are countless positive examples of the behavior of whites, current and historic

Adobe has a monthly payment pay-as-you-go option with their suite of products. They have a pre-existing client base, but this also allowed for people to use as needed,as well as lowering the barrier to entry for product purchase.

I think only devs think negatively about the sites, as users are routinely impressed by bells and whistles (as pointless as they are). This is not flashes fault -- think of all the useless motion we are seeing in html5 pages. Its just a m

I don't think time is a good metric as some people are faster than others, but the impact of what they do matters more. Also, a "rockstar" designer or developer is potentially worth more than a novice. At the end of the day, there is no e

I think your coworkers salaries give you a scale of what your company is willing to pay for the service you provide. I like to feel whole for my efforts, and get paid what I'm worth. If you can demonstrate your quality, and feel as if you

I can co-sign for the quality of the district he mentions. My nieces and nephew are there now. It's totally an economic issue. My sister-in-law really does care about the education of her kids and their potential future, but she has to w
