No it's not, quite a few teachers work everyday to 'improve themselves', sucks that you got the shitty lot of the teachers but the fact is at the end of the day what matters most is what you teach yourself.
Actually, a lot of parents I know talk about how ridiculously expensive it is to put their kid through college/university and to help pay for housing when compared to when they were young.
I don't know what shift managers you know, but the ones I know don't pull much more then what the standard employee gets.
I hope it takes off! The front page seems pretty crowded though, have you guys thought about having it take more of a focus on the content instead of recent comments, login, etc. in the center?
No I don't really find it interesting, if you read the comments you would see someone else had an issue with renewing on the app store. The blog not only doesn't go into any 'background information', but it reads like a…
Yeah it sucks, but posting this on HN is a bit much. As the guidelines say "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a…
It would be very inconvenient for the entire world but I totally support it, and I hope it happens soon because it would send a very powerful message to many people around the world about bills like SOPA.
Learning about group dynamics and social situations is probably the most important part of middle/high school, and more often then not homeschooled kids are at a disadvantage in these situations when they finish school…
I totally agree, picking someone as a cofounder that will be taking leave for their newborn baby is insane, but I had 'lower' positions in mind when I was talking about flexibility.
This might be accurate with some people, but it can't be applied to everyone. I am working towards everything I want, and honestly I think the journey is much more desirable then the end result. A big part of Zen is…
I find it ironic that you would say this about a type of business that is usually praised for it's ability to be flexible with work hours, granted that the employees finish what they are expected to finish. This…
I think it is important to be wary of who piracy actually hurts though. I very strongly believe that piracy does hurt someone in the music industry, not the artist, but rather the major record labels. I remember seeing…
Exactly! Jobs is great but Gates' work is so much more important then Jobs' iPhone that it's incomparable.
Pretty much everyone I know in College only order online due to it's convenience. Domino's isn't the best pizza in the world but their website is built pretty well, and as a result most pizzas you find on the college…
I know some corn/soy bean farmers but not very well. All the farmers I know really well (and have to a point grown up with) are livestock farmers, and they live on a farm and do farm work because they love it. It is not…
In 2003 it reports that small farms that have $10,000 - $249,999 in sales to be 34% of all farms (in 2003), which is still quite significant compared to the 4.8% that industrial complexes (1.7%) and very large family…
Everyone is free to express themselves, being accused is just a side effect of expression. Hell, Arrington took a stab at jwz in his response. jwz's advice is extremely valid, it doesn't matter if it's about VCs or…
Small family farms represent 91% of all the farms in the US. 59% of food production in the US is in due thanks to large family farms. There are actually very few industrial food complexes in the US, although it is…
Most people I know who work all day on a farm do it because they absolutely love it and would imagine living no other life.
It is easiest for a lot of people. I know someone who did this a lot and ended up with an extremely high salary just a few years after dropping out of school. He would look for different companies after 1-2 years of…
http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_keep_your_goals_to_you... Derek Sivers shares a different opinion, can't really argue against it for you if it works for you, but it's good for other people to be mindful of all…
It might be even more beneficial to read good code then try to find a way that it could've been done better.
They redid their calculations and reported an estimated piracy rate of 82%, instead of 90%. Minecraft may of had huge piracy rates, but it still made a huge profit. You won't ever get rid of piracy but you can still…
No clue on why you are getting downvoted. I make a point to only buy things from musicians where they get most of the money.
I really like Taleb, but I think his quote is a bit wrong. I love to just pick up my guitar and try to learn songs by ear but I usually find myself procrastinating against doing such things. I try to take…
