Meetings.

I bet they did occasionally check. And leaving it at, "Hm, that's weird. Oh well!" was where it went from problem to disaster.

It sounds like he's had money for most of his adult life, but he clearly still remembers that not everyone is as lucky.

It's great that this author's upbringing was such that a robotics class for girls wasn't needed. My mom also taught her daughters that we're people, so of course I wanted a compute…

In a world of unlimited bandwidth, I'd prefer to leave my wi-fi open (I won't live in fear of terrorists war-driving on my specific block), but I saw this framed QR code for wi-fi …

I don't know how many other people track their book collection this way, but the ability to import a Goodreads shelf would be useful to me. I have an "own" shelf on Goodreads to tr…

This is a good visualization of drone strikes in Pakistan: http://drones.pitchinteractive.com/ Edit: I don't completely love focusing on the technology behind killing innocent peop…

Whoops, I thought Hacker News' standards were generally higher than "whatever Google barfs up when I type in my prejudiced view point." But you're the one with the karma here.

At least 40% of the wage gap isn't explained by the factors you cite. http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/labor/news/2013/04/09...

"All available evidence supports that notion." Your citations for your assertions that feminists are liars and women like to be paid less are awfully thin.

So much wisdom. I don't know what the author does for a living, but I hope if it's product management, he get the piles of cash for it he very clearly deserves.

We had a fareless area in downtown Portland for many years. It was no sketchier than the routes going to the 'burbs, and it wouldn't have made sense as a "makeshift homeless shelte…

I'm experiencing extreme envy at these private room stories. I had my first child in a great hospital with the same room all to my family for our full two-day stay. For my current …

Yeah, I have HTML for Babies and have tried it on my kid a couple times. Very fun idea, not a fun read.

I opened the article in hopes of advice on improving my "hacking strength". Alas, it was about actual weightlifting, which... maybe I'll have time for again some day. But I clicked…

I disagree with the suggestion that the American minimum wage is in a better place because it is lower. Keeping working people poor so wealthier people can afford more things (whet…

I don't think you mean to suggest that working families should live in poverty (America, heck yeah!) so the leisure class can spend less on video games.

I think disclosing ahead of time is the best advice. Think of the interview as an opportunity to start working with your company on how to get the most from you. With three years' …

Whoops, I meant that judging by c.o.'s username, we're all on Team More Ladies In Tech Good. I recognized her username because with more time, I would have liked to use her company…

Judging by the username, you are preaching to the head of the choir on women belonging in tech. Her point about getting attention for the wrong reasons is a fair one, as is yours a…

I would not have reacted the same way in this set of circumstances -- I feel sort of bad for those dudes wondering why their picture was being taken -- but I am far from "furious" …

If you're looking to marry a woman who is the equivalent of a diamond -- a pretty thing to have with you always (well, until she gets old and decays, on a much shorter time scale t…

The answer to the first half of your question is no, so the whole question evaluates to false, whatever the second half may be.

Hilarious. It wouldn't take much "research" to find out that Automattic is the Acquia of WordPress. Poor kid.
