I didn't read this paper, but I never understood why players who get into foul trouble are pulled from games. I guess the only explanation is that players play differently after a few fouls. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to take someon

I'm curious if I can tell the difference between good coffee and bad. Where can I go in Austin, TX to get a great cup of coffee, and what should I order? If I can't tell the difference between the good stuff and the stuff I usually drink,

Many times, I have been stuck on a programming problem at the end of the day. Many times, I come in and solve it immediately first thing in the morning. This leads me to believe I think more clearly in the mornings. Anyone else have this

I took 14 hours of calculus in my EE undergrad. Reading posts like this remind me that I really enjoy studying math outside of school. In school, I had to learn so much, so fast, that I couldn't appreciate the beauty, nor take time to pon

I have upvoted you for a very insightful and resourcful reply. The term "business" is big, kind of like the term "engineering" is big. Would you also say that studying engineering is harmful to a startup? It is one thing to say that an MB

I am an entrepreneur, a hacker, and an MBA. I am intelligent enough not to apply big-company processes to a start-up and vice versa. An MBA is an education in business. That can't be a bad thing if you operate a business, large or small.
