Pick your job over your kids, don't be surprised when they pick the cheap nursing home for you. Just like that old Harry Chapin song.

You get what you pay for.

I remember trying out GEOS on the C-64 back in the late 80's and thinking "why all this when you can just type in commands?" Command line vs GUI is like going from covered wagons t…

AOL?

They found out their neighbor who has a high school diploma and manages the night shift at Taco Bell makes $25k/yr more than they do.

Meanwhile, most computer science jobs are not in the U.S.

It's much more fun feeding Facebook with bogus info.

Why not? Shenzhen was once a backwater no-where-land, now it's a major city and China's answer to Silicon Valley. No reason why they can't replicate it over and over.

These laid off BuzzFeed staffers should get together and form their own news parody site, similar to The Onion. BuzzFeed is already well experienced with passing off satire as "new…

Maybe The New Yorker could follow up with an article about the rape of Nanking. I think baby-kebabs would attract more viewers anyway.
