I could never imagine taking a course on Entrepreneurship. It's something you learn by doing. At least it is for me. There's also so many good books out there...
Being good at math is like a superpower (at least it seems that way to a creative/language minded guy like me). Math requires schooling more than entrepreneurship.
Go with the math, and while you're getting really good at it, you'll come up with an awesome business idea that will help guys like me learn math faster.
Taking the easy path is not an accomplishment, nor does it build character. Take the advice go with math, develop a time management strategy, where you reward yourself with time for side projects by getting problems right for calc-II.
Again, I've got to say you need to differentiate to survive. There have been several HN clones in the past year or so (remember lamernews.com?) but none of them differentiated enough.
Please don't make the same mistake. Like Steve Jobs said: "Be Different".
A quick but of advice: give the site some personality - visually, I mean. It will make a difference. People will respond to it better and respect it more.
If it looks like an HN clone, that's how people will treat it. Differentiate.
Reading her list reminds me of when I worked in a record store back when I was a teenager.
One thing I quickly learned is when a grandma asked what album/artist do I recommend for her grandson, she wasn't asking for MY recommendation (i.e. Zodiak Mindwarp and the Love Machine or whatever the heck I was listening to).
// Cars have come a long way, and their impact on the environment will be just about none by the time we could get a ring of walkable suburbs built just outside the perimeter.
Your comment is uninformed. Cars lead to ever-expanding roads, which results in:
- Deforestation
- Poisoning of ground water sources (your soon to be drinking water) due to chlorides in rock salt used on snowy and icy roads, as well as the oils, grime and toxins that are released off the roads when it rains
- More air pollution (you think everyone can afford a Prius?)
- More taxes for YOU, regardless of whether you live in the suburbs or not. New suburbs require garbage trucks to go farther out to service the new areas, as do fire trucks, police and rescue. The power grid, plumbing etc has to be extended as well
- More taxes for YOU AGAIN, because now these roads need to be maintained and fixed regularly
- A greater reliance on cars, more accidents, more death to domestic animals and wildlife alike
- More suburbs, more roads and more driving results in higher blood pressure, road rage, higher risk of depression, flu and even heart attacks
And the list of harmful effects go on. Cars aren't just killing our cities, they are emptying our pocketbooks and compromising our physical and psychological health.
Way back when I was in Boy Scouts, I tested for my lifesaving merit badge in a mountain lake in October. In my opinion, anyone who has the self-discipline to do this regularly isn't going to have any problem lowering his weight whatever method he chooses.
The FBI might target them, but most likely for their laissez-faire moderation where deleting a subsection literally dedicated to child pornography caused a major uproar.
I think calling r/jailbait pornography could be debatable. Technically speaking there wasn't anything illegal with the sub-reddit, which is why it upset a lot of people - even those who wouldn't go close to r/jailbait (such as myself).
I take issue with your description of /r/jailbait. None of the images in that subreddit qualified as child pornography under the definition of child pornography on the Wikipedia page.
Even in light of US vs Knox, which I had not know about, the material on r/jailbait was not child pornography. The courts opinion list some criteria for something to be considered child pornography. The material on r/jailbait does not fit these criteria.
1) whether the focal point of the visual depiction is on the child's genitalia or pubic area;
2) whether the setting of the visual depiction is sexually suggestive, i.e., in a place or pose generally associated with sexual activity;
3) whether the child is depicted in an unnatural pose, or in inappropriate attire, considering the age of the child;
4) whether the child is fully or partially clothed, or nude;
5) whether the visual depiction suggests sexual coyness or a willingness to engage in sexual activity;
6) whether the visual depiction is intended or designed to elicit a sexual response in the viewer.
I'm just glad I haven't done business with you.
