Read some more of Aaron's stuff, including his Authoritas thing he promotes at the end of the article, and he's the one who comes across as the possible sociopath.

Isn't purpose really just a way of articulating the company's ideal long-term vision?
LOL. How do you come to that conclusion?
And I don't know where your second paragraph came from. Why does considering these things mean I'm unable to sleep at night? At some point, you made the decision to include a terms of service for your site. All I did was try to point out a couple things he should consider for his TOS that wouldn't be relevant for most sites.
Or, more realistically, recipes that cause food allergies or something along those lines. I don't think it's at all likely he'll get sued, but I do think his product is riskier in this regard than say bingo cards simply because it deals with things people will be putting into their bodies.
Having more friends generally equates to greater personal satisfaction with Facebook and in real life
This is the case only because the Facebook accounts of real users are actually a reflection of their real-life social networks. Those who are happy and outgoing in real life are likely to have larger networks of friends and acquiantances, which results in more Facebook friends. They do not "friend" random people, nor do they "make" friends on Facebook.
And nobody's trying to impress you. These kids are trying to impress college admissions, who are in turn trying to build interesting and diverse student bodies.
I think you need to make it so when the arrow opens the bubble it doesn't cover up other information on the page.
Track captains are a dime a dozen and there is nothing "impressive" about signing up for calligraphy class. Maybe those were the easy classes at his school - I don't know. But there's nothing inherently impressive about taking calligraphy. I don't even know why you would put that on your resume unless you were going to write an essay about it.
Working with the UN as a high schooler is something that grabs the attention of an admissions officer. I'm sure his essay about the experience sealed the deal.

First, Kasparov became world #1 when he was 20 and then world champ when he was 22. Second, there has been ratings deflation among the top players over the past few years. When Kasparov hit his peak rating there were several others over 2800. Third, Kasparov was not uncontested. All of his victories over Karpov were by extremely narrow margins, as was his victory over Anand. He then LOST the title to Kramnik in 2000.
I've always liked the Django debugging information and haven't had too many problems. I agree that it's very possible for many to feel limited by the ORM and standard templating system.
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt
I think it's still 0 points Michael.
Here's another one: You have a circular table that's about 1 meter in diameter. You play a game against a single opponent where you take turns placing quarters onto the table. You keep doing this until there is a turn when there is room on the table for additional quarters. If this happens on your turn, you lose, If this happens on your opponent's turn, you win. You have the option of choosing to go first or second. Which should you choose and how should you play?
The report suggests that the power outage in Palo Alto may have been caused by the plane crash. I find this hard to believe because the traffics lights were only down in the area near Stanford and downtown PA; as you drove closer to East Palo Alto, the lights were working. Of course maybe there was a larger outage earlier, and they just restored it in this pattern.
