As I mentioned, I'm not a particular follower of hers; I guess I should have mentioned I'm also not her apologist. Sorry I can't answer your question. I don't know what she was doi…

Thank you for thinking about this. It's a very worthy topic for thought. If you'd care to link the thread you mention, I'm sure others would like to help. BTW, a very good primer o…

Exactly right. Make it wholely unacceptable to make these "threats-in-jest" and a lot of the problem goes away.

Thanks for the link, chuckcode. Skimmed a bit and added to the "read before bedtime" pile. There's a lot of interestingness around anonymity vs. pseudonymity. From what I've read a…

Fair, and we can disagree. I'll say that I'm not a fan of urging people to die in fires. However, it's noteworthy that her review made several clear statements, some opinion and so…

It's disingenuous to switch from your original context in which you, a bystander, urge listeners to believe that this is an unsolvable problem, to the context of the victim, which …

It's easy to say that this happens all the time, urge folks to call the cops, let them deal with it, and otherwise don't make a big deal. So here's the thing: people have been call…

I'm not a particular follower of Randi's and still couldn't help but see the Vivek stuff going on. I wouldn't have labeled it harassment; what I saw was a loud and unrelenting publ…

> You can't do anything to stop trolls online [...] So painfully wrong. There are many things you can do, including not giving up and walking off. You just have to decide you've ha…

As judk mentions, an offer in hand (or even a ballpark from the recruiter) is solid data. Also, Wealthfront keeps their startup compensation tool pretty up to date ( https://www.we…

Yup. I agree with Hilary and Diego. Optimizing for the clickability of the ad is shortsighted. Yahoo is an advertising company. Optimizing for revenue via delivering valuable click…

For engineers in Silicon Valley, it very nearly is.

It's about building their confidence from age 0. It's about making and reinforcing a community of respect for difference wherever you are. And it's about being sure that your kids …
