Speed and reliability. Take open source. You could manually find, download, untar, configure, make, install and track dependencies. A good package manager lets you do that in one command e.g.: $ brew install package_name OSX includes

I have never encountered a situation when beating a defenseless person seemed like the reasonable thing to do. The law should be changed.

Beating people who are very young is wrong. That seems axiomatic to me. I do not have a medical journal article bookmarked to satisfy your question but can suggest "On Children and Childrearing" by Henry H. Lindner M.D. http://henrylindner

> Spanking is far less emotionally manipulative than twenty nagging reprimands, it’s fast, and it’s certainly effective. I disagree. Spanking is coercive, psychologically harmful and it teaches the child their body is ruled by a bully.

Wow, it looks like you worked really hard on that stuff. I bet it's a solid product suite. I would never buy it. But take that with salt: I'm not your potential market. What I might potentially buy (and for a much higher price) is a screenc

Corollary: Some ideas are vastly more lucrative than others. Which is why it's useful to spend a week listing your top 999 ideas. Execution is a PITA so choose carefully.

The guy said he spent 3 years on it _while holding a full time job_. That's not equivalent to "spending 3 years on it." He's trying to make a forum for congressional bills and his v1 looks good. Instead of criticizing him for releasing a le

Your argument is valid for standard correspondence. It is not valid for commercial marketing. A well-designed HTML email will look stunning in the vast majority of email clients. If marketing ROI is the goal, it is best to ignore the edge c

You and I are in the minority. Imagine if Groupon sent their daily flyer in plain text: Click-through would plummet.

Yes. They seem to have it down to a science. Way beyond my area of expertise.

Not yet but I have increasingly been clicking on AdWords ads so I'm sure it's just a matter of time. The guy in marketing at the small company I'm working for spends $20k a day on AdWords campaigns and he tells me it's extremely lucrative i

You guys built that in 24 hours? Killer job! I skimmed the javascript... How do you collaborate on something like that? Does one person write most of javascript, and one person mostly do design, etc? Or is everyone mostly working on some as

Your software sounds clever. Are you confident CafePress will let you use it? How automated is the process? You're planning to use it yourself, correct, not sell the software? A blog post on your lessons learned sounds interesting, definite

Facebook already has video voicemail. Half the time it breaks during a recording and you have to start your message over again. If you can program better than the Facebook team, success! Even if you build a worse product a lot of people mig

This adjective clarifies nothing. We don't know how many weekends it was or if you're telling the truth. Besides it's irrelevant what days of the week you pushed the keys. Call it "a project" or MVP, IMHO.

Who is paying for your college tuition? If it's Mom and Dad, I think you're a fool if you leave school. A degree from a reputable college significantly improves your market bargaining position. How much of your future earning potential are

Another way is to impose a hard stop at the 7.5 minute mark. If after a yellow light and a red light the presenter is still yammering, cut off their mic.

Autoadvance is inhumane. Speakers should not be expected to have their timing down so well that every slide transitions smoothly. The presenter will inevitably be a couple of seconds off on every slide. I am impressed how well you pulled it

The OP added clarification after I posted my answer to the original Yes/No question. I was the first to comment so it now looks as if I didn't read the full question. That said, my reply hardly added to the conversation and I regret it.

No, I am arguing the opposite. I said there are many people who consider themselves to be web designers who do not have the skills to implement their ideas. These people are common in marketing agencies and all they do is make PSDs for devs
