How did you choose who your parents were going to be? What part of your carpe diem attitude helped your mom not do drugs and destroy your gestating brain before you were born? How …

Nope. I've heard a nonstandard connection means reusing the display isn't straightforward even if you crack them open. Best hope is jailbreaking and running custom firmware, which …

This. For instance, we all probably had to go through math classes where the professor writes so fast that it's a hand cramping race just to even scribble together enough notes to …

Colleges have become a confidence game where people exchange money for membership in an exclusive club. That's not say colleges SHOULD be this way, but the reality differs from the…

Most offices have bad cultures that don't foster good communication. The odds of people blaming a tool because they don't have good communication is very high. I think the bit abou…

If you want to contain the nutters, build a nuthouse. Every message board admin in the world learns you need dumping grounds and pressure relief valves to keep the population in li…

1) Hacker News? 2) You can reliably induce near death experiences with high g-forces and drugs, for instance the experiences commonly happen to fighter pilots during training when …

Read the paper, including citations.

Yes. And? He suggests ways to alter Google's engineering jobs to suit abilities females are more likely to excel at, such as making work more social. Its almost like different does…

No he didn't. Stop spreading lies. This is the heart of the lawsuit. Unless you mean he was fired as part of a witch hunt which was much ado about nothing, and that's a sad fact of…

Try reading the memo- with all the citations to research- instead of assuming.

His memo does not say "women are incapable of programming". He says the way Google uses engineers means men are more likely to fit the role. He offers suggestions on how to change …

YouTube grants all monetization to the claimant instantly, for the entire period of the claim, even if it's bunk. So take an algorithm that can flag a million YouTube videos, and m…

Look up stats for how much Obama spent on raiding states with legalized pot. The idea that Trump suddenly has a war on pot is ridiculous nonsense. The idea that the Fed's hands wer…

What happens when you use that wallet by plugging it into the computer, or by entering its information on a computer to perform a transaction? People say "Hardware wallet" like it'…

I hate the one step thinking here. Have the fee when people submit an app for review, not before. Best of both worlds. Lots of developers, rich ecosystem, high hurdle for spam.

So have the registration fee only when you submit an app to the store. Oh wait I'm sorry that would be good design. Apple doesn't do that.

Disregard down votes, this is 100% correct. I only add: Read up on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Realize smart people undervalue themselves, and dumb people overvalue themselves. Reme…

"Vast majority of homeless are men, women most affected, news at 9."

How do homeless fare is socialist nations? Hint: You might want to start looking in the mass graves. (See also: The Scandinavian countries repeatedly having press conferences to sa…

"Lots and lots of reading", yes that scholarly peer reviewed journal. I know it well.

We really need to quit forcing programmers to take calculus. Even set theory is a minority of us. Nobody actually needs order of magnitude either, so long as you can tell one thing…

Speaking of quote unquote improvements, the community act like bad actors influencing the forks aren't an expected outcome. Somehow only the correct improvements will happen, becau…

This. A logic class could do the same thing if you could get a good, modern logic class. Internalizing for loops, if-else, while, boolean, etc is a universal benefit that would hel…

I know exactly why I made money. This is a ponzi scheme with unlimited uninformed people joining. You feel your personal level of risk, find a time, and invest only what you can af…
