It's irrelevant whether the stock was bought directly from Zynga or otherwise. It's the same stock and gives you the same rights. However, unless you have a sizable percentage of the shares, management won't give a damn…

I'm very skeptical of the validity of this study. The graph shows no riots at all between 2008 and 2012. E.g. there are no data points in the graph for the riots related to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. They…
I'm really surprised that yours is the only comment pointing this out. Note that the author implicitly defines "bozo" as anyone who's not a world-class programmer or researcher (or possibly, any such person that rises…
I'm midway through this book and I'm fairly disappointed with it. It's not a bad book, bu much of the advice in it is common sense. And the parts that aren't common sense aren't very convincing (silly metaphors etc).…
Yahoo's yearly revenue is around $4 billion. Net income around $1 billion. It's not unreasonable to expect she could raise revenue and/or improve the profit margin by a few percent points.
I'm not sure if it makes sense to call them "fringe". Orkut is mainstream in Brazil (though Facebook is about as popular now), just as Facebook in the US and Mixi in Japan. Also note that Brazil has a large number of…
I'd go even further: even the astrology question is not a good indicator of stupidity or compatibility. There are lots of otherwise smart people who believe in "stupid" things. For example, in Japan many people believe…
That is a very costly hack. You should pay off the loans with highest effective interest rates, period.
Short answer: the "hack" is to set a monthly budget and stick to it religiously. In theory, if your savings account pays 2% and your loans charge 10%, you should put all your money into paying your debt. On the other…

The solution is not "make it harder to make a mistake" but rather make it possible to change your vote (like Reddit).
Some of your social superiors: your parents and older relatives, your SO's parents, your (company's) clients, a famous writer/athlete/musician you admire, the president of your country. You probably don't treat them as…
