Finally. Although I’d rather Microsoft just upgrade everyone to Chrome.
I’ve censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet—a bill that could pass THIS WEEK. To see the uncensored text, and to stop internet censorship, visit: americancensorship.org/posts/9816/uncensor

…oh and about 2.5 months of your own hard work. Why? Because paying someone to develop a website for you is a rip off and because finding a technical cofounder is a pain in the ass. Stop pitching your idea and start building.
I had zero technical skills prior and here’s how I went about learning Ruby on Rails and CSS.
Expenses
Expense 1. Purchase Text Mate for $58 (less if you are a student)
Expense 2. Purchase Michael Hartl’s Rails Screencast and PDF Bundle for $95

You know the rest. One of the strangest things about loving sports: Those random moments when you’re sitting in your house, your office, your classroom, wherever … and suddenly you get blown away by a legitimate bombshell. This was crazy. This was insane. This made no sense. By blocking the trade, David Stern was willingly creating his own Watergate and validating every critic who ever claimed, “That guy stayed too long.” Tim Donaghy was just one guy acting alone — we think — and tampering with dozens of games before they caught him. Blocking the Paul trade? This was different. This was Big Brother stuff. This was one of the biggest conflicts of interest in sports history. This was a league intentionally jeopardizing its own credibility. This was a scandal popping out of thin air, self-created, almost like a man-made lake or something.

On Netflix:
I don’t want to pick on Ms. Martin, particularly, because I’ve read some version of this lament about Netflix about a thousand times. And indeed, I completely agree that the Qwikster disaster was nothing short of debacletacular.
But how do we get from “that was a bad idea” to “Reed Hastings doesn’t understand what business he’s in?” When internet commentators see odd behavior that they don’t understand, why do they assume that the most parsimonious explanation is that management must be a bunch of drooling morons?
Ray Kurzweil and other so-called transhumanists have promised that in coming decades we will be able to transfer a digital copy of the trillions of connections among nerve cells in our brains into a computer. We would essentially reincarnate ourselves as non-biological beings that persist for eternity inside a laptop, on the endless links of the Internet or as avatars inside a television set. After achieving the ultimate copy and paste, we would wave goodbye to death as we know it.
