Is she really as strict as she claims in the article? To what extent was she trolling? She promoted her book big time. Can her daughter cash in too?

So, is Google officially supportive of the revolution? What about twitter? Are Google and Twitter more supportive of the anti-Mubarak campaign than the US government? What are the political implications of this?

There is x\in R such that 2=x^x^x^x^x^... Furthermore, I believe it should be possible to prove there is no field S such that R\in S, whereby 2=x^x^x^x^x^.... Complex numbers don't help.

Monopoly search is bad because it is easier to game. People have gotten so good at manipulating Google rankings, that there is room for competition. Merely being small has some inherent advantages. Being bigger and more popular can be inherently bad.

The first line assume 2=x^x^x^x^... which is impossible. We assume the author is asking: for what x \in R does 2=x^x^x^x^x^... Cognitive bias confuses us.

Has any university ever successfully asserted ownership over its student's work? Legally how does the university acquire ownership? I don't see how use of university facilities give the university ownership. Further, the students paid the university. When did universities acquire the right to steal people's work without paying for it?

Universities may think they are the government, but I don't see how they acquire such rights, legally. Are students considered the university's slaves?

Over-spending has been the doom of too many startups. Don't just grow for the sake of growing. Plan strategically and try to get your business profitable at least on an operating basis. More revenues does not mean more profits. Some things take money but there are other things that just require time. Sometimes, you just need to be around for so long for some things.

Keep the money in an FDIC-insured account, and don't worry about the interest. You need to focus on your business.

How much does diet matter?

I think Credit Suisse is just spreading FUD, so they get people to trade on their own market, instead of some upstart HFT firm. Every new rule and game is just another money making opportunity for a opportunistic firm.

What does this prove? Apparently, they have a new airplane. Is this plane really stealth? What are its capabilities? Does this really matter?

Some books are bad. However, some of the best books shouldn't be easy to read. I think there is a lot of value in struggling through hard books. At times I think the internet has made things too easy.

Look at any great math book. Large leaps of logic are declared 'obvious', and left as exercises for the reader. While such exercises often aren't easy, struggling with such exercises helps you learn. Before the internet provided tutorials for everything, you had to really struggle when you couldn't figure something out. Yet, I think I really learned to program from that struggle.

You learn to find information that isn't spoonfed to you. When you do, you will better be able to dig beneath hype and propoganda, and make up your own mind. Look for clues, and try thinking for yourself instead of getting all the answers from someone else.

1/10 isn't bad odds. After your fifth app, you should have pretty good odds.

Test prep is a big industry.

I think a government OAuth sounds like a good idea. Verifying your identity based on SSN is pretty insecure. If the commerce department can come up with a secure standard, it can seriously cut down on fraud. Internet anonymity is good for some things, but the government needs to stop people from borrowing in someone else's name.

Security will probably be challenge. This needs to be done right, but it has great potential for cutting down on fraud. With real identity, scammers can blacklisted, and honest can people can transact business better. Despite the FUD, I think this is actually good government.

Are there too few judges? Is expanding the judiciary an option? Are too many lawyers incompetent?

I think you can hire good programmers for cheap, but the tricky part is retaining them. Programmers can be hired for relatively low-wages, but then they should raises every few months. Turnover can be really expensive, and it often isn't factored in. Further, maintenance work may not help the programmers develop marketable skills, so they strong incentive to quit.

They can mess up your credit, sue you, and seize the money from your bank account, or get the money the witheld from your paycheck.

All companies are about making money. Wall Street is more honest about it, and does a better job of rewarding its employees. The ridiculous money culture ends up centering around stealing money rather than fulfilling real societal needs. Next, the money gets wasted in conspicious consumption..
