It's all relative and depends entirely on how much you put into it and how much your employer does the same. I've had friends who've taken unpaid internships and have gotten entirely different experiences out of it.
I think Google+ made it so Myspace had to sell now--they've been bleeding money and users for a while now, and with one more challenger in the pit, they would have just bled out. I'm interested in seeing what the buyer actually has in mind for this company now though--It seems totally over, but inventive people always surprise me.
I mean from a straightforward point of view you can understand the rise on a worldly basis just because of the progression of women's rights around the globe--but when you look at Canada what's changed since the late 70's to the point where women are taking in increased sugars?
These findings lead me to further believe something I have long suspected...Since 1980, the Women of Canada have not abided by the rules of halfsies. Stop eating my skittles, ladies. :(
In all seriousness, why do you think there's a noticeable difference between Canadian men and women according to this data? I mean from the looks of it most, countries Mens numbers were higher.
I like how this passes just a few years after it no longer applies to me...
Growing up in the heart of this ESRB rating era, I can honestly say I was rarely if at all effected. Like a lot of kids, if I wanted a Mature game, I'd get an adult to buy it in the same way kids buy booze. It wasn't a real deterrent and at the end of the day I was still playing the games that I wasn't supposed to. Right or wrong, doing dumb things, and seeing the world that you're not supposed to is just another rite of childhood and growing up. The only thing this new amendment really does is it makes things easier for kids--psh the kids today have it so easy.
Haha, great idea--They could code name it, "project barking dogs"--if only because I've always liked the phrase "my dogs are barking" used when peoples feet are tired/hurt.
I wonder what would happen if the findings for this were also detrimental for ones health?
I guess the thing to think about is; moderation is the key to success in a lot of things in life.
Am I being too close minded here or would the advent/influx of a bunch of new domains severely dilute the internet to the point where it's not as intuitive--I just see a huge mental barrier on the horizon and a ton of headaches.
Don't forget about us Canadians (and all other British expansions), when they brought up Harper on their twitter I started noticing stuff like this, great eye cormullion.
This is my big interest in YC and why I'll try applying this Winter--There are plenty of resources for doing all of this yourself, and many people have but given my background and experience I have, I probably can't get my idea off the ground without proper guidance and I think many people are like me who genuinely need that little bit of help more than they need large sums of money, a stamp of approval or what have you--that guidance will carry you to all of that stuff in the end.
Hey guys this was my first submission on HN, but I wanted to add this-- The article itself is mostly about twitter--and to be fair it's not necessarily a life shattering article, but I think it's culturally relevant, especially given what has developed in my country. I wanted to point out that for as much problems social media has played in this issue (it's being reported that Facebook riot groups were set up prior to Game 7) the great things being done using these same devices are of redeeming quality and shows that it isn't so much about the tool--but how you use it, and it's good to see so many Vancouverites putting social media to good use to help restore the city after it's shameful evening.
Hopefully someone else will find this interesting.
Maybe I'm not fully comprehending the validity of this bill--so is profiting via illegal streaming a big thing in the United States? Judging from their reasoning, and not to get ethical, but is this really the answer to this issue?
What I like best about what Graham says is the idea that good people will persevere and do good things to make peoples lives better and that he's willing to bet on these good people. That's something universal, not just in the startup world that I wish more people believed in.
I had the same Study plan as you (I never once read a book or had to purchase one--hello "Xbox and booze monies!!!")and I did quite well.
I'm interested in hearing how much you actually retained from any of your courses--honestly I remember very little, and it's a testament of how bad the University system has become. I basically strove for a piece of paper and the benefits that came with it. The quest for knowledge seems to have taken a page out of a World of Warcraft quest--Skip over everything you read, do remedial task, then get reward.
I think the big cause for concern isn't Nintendo's innovation, it's the fact that they can't inspire third party developers to really innovate on their machine. As Gimicky as the controls were on the Wii, it was and is a decent system (granted mine has collected dust for 2 years) but it just didn't have the support to make it a gaming system worth mention in the mind of traditional gamers.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing...they should put that on the midway! For some reason I also thought of the infamous South Park bike--the one with the interesting seat as a cool looking but maybe just a bit impractical powered 2 wheel transportation device.
Why can't we all just get past labels and respect one another for who we are and act--there wouldn't be a need for this blog post if that was the case which is reason enough to try for that better future.
The Internet and Cable companies here in Canada are already trying to circumvent the issue and bring back the sheep by capping regular internet plans in the same way you see with data plans on phones--Most companies allot 100gb (and then you pay huge sums if you go over) which isn't very much in today's world, so it's gotten to the point where I had to cancel my netflix (its inferior in Canada anyways) because by watching it regularly, I far exceeded my internet cap. It's gotten to the point where excessive streaming/downloading for entertainment is about on par with traditional cable in terms of costs.
Nostalgia Forever. I remember playing the older Duke games as a kid (strip bars anyone?!) and thinking it was an amazing game. Like many people here, I carried that nostalgia with me for many years to the point where I bought (I didn't pre-order) DNF--and well... all I can say is, when you grow up your taste in things change. I wouldn't call DNF a bad game, it's just not something the adult me wants to play. I know though, if I handed this to my younger self, I would be quoting the stupid one liners all day at school. Gearbox made a decent game, they just didn't realize their main demographic grew up.
As a gamer I was thinking about the exact same thing. When assessing this model do you think it matters that Microsoft has a monopoly on Xbox games, whereas Apple has a number of competitors in terms of App and Music services?
