This is what a lot of people want to believe but orientation seems to depend more on culture than genes (e.g. Ancient Greece, US Prisons, etc.).

>Very true. Well, except maybe for that one time when Germany became an open-air rape camp under the noses of police who did nothing for fear of being accused of racism. What an aw…

If you spend a lot of money you're not guaranteed to get the best. But if you go cheap you are nearly guaranteed to get a bad developer/product/whatever.

Well, this is all new to me as well but the way I've seen it presented (from multiple sources) it seems to be person-specific. If there is a way to increase you "cup size" either I…

That could just as easily be interpreted that he's stuck with this spelling mistake (as he said in the other quote) and now asks us to play along ("that's, uh, just how they talked…

I'd like to work where you work. My experience with management has been "barely hanging on" to "actively damaging the company" with a few "adequate" and 1 or 2 "inspiring" thrown i…

I'm not saying those women aren't "smart", I don't know them personally. I'm saying it doesn't matter if they are or not.

Actually the GP is incorrect. It's pretty well understood [1] these days that your body is like a "cup" that can only take a certain amount of stress before it starts getting count…

I think you mean you'll project it everywhere. I say this to my kids as well, not to signal anything but to engage their creativity. A lot of kids these days can't figure anything …

>This is a fair point, but in many cases you need to be rich, hard working, and smart. Like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardasian, etc.? No, rich is still the only requirement. Those other t…

What I would be afraid of, here, is that if there are signs that big data can uncover that peel out some catastrophic disease from your workout data that would mean your insurance …

>What if you were mugged? In general, any time you point to others and say " they did this to me" you remove your own power to change the situation. You may have to be creative, bu…

I don't mean physical aggression, I mean verbal bullying. And I may be projecting other "similar feeling" posts to yours too much. But the kind of behavior I'm seeing now is a bit …

I think it's you, I've seen nearly nothing about perl anywhere for quite a while.

Where on earth did you go to school? Was it a public school? I moved around a lot as a kid and no where did I learn any of the things you mentioned.

Isn't it more of a game theory situation? If your competitors exploit their workers and you don't then you will be too expensive?
