On a related note: http://www.gq.com/news-politics/mens-lives/200810/devin-frie... This article, while somewhat old, does a great job of discussing just how shallow that 100-year "…

My guess is the lack of adequate revenues that lead to real profits. Last I read, Facebook was breaking even. As they grow toward a billion users, I imagine those costs will rise. …

While this isn't the first time wikileaks has been in the news, am I the only one that sees a problem with people's seeming interest in awarding this to whatever person is in the n…

Sounds nice at first but if Google can afford to hire the most experienced, why would they do something that goes against their bottom line? From what I've seen, you've got a lot o…

Raising children can be tough, but 60 hours of housework per week? In my house there's maybe 1-2 hours of cooking for dinner everyday and maybe 5 hours of cleanup on Saturday morni…

There is no pipeline. I see lots of comments about how entry level developers are useless. No one wants to train the next gen of developers, so companies are fighting over a smalle…

No, the answer is NOT that art is subjective. I don't think it can be boiled down that easily, but if I were to try and answer succinctly, I would say the difference is there becau…

Jay-Z promotes ambition, through whatever means necessary. Exactly. ::sigh::

I'm sorry but this idea that you get a pass for drug dealing and misogynistic lyrics because you are black and from a poor background needs to just die. There are options that don'…

What's entertainment for a lot of Jay-Z's listeners is more like a guidebook for far too many young black men (and the women who chase men like him). I personally like rap and know…

1. If you don't already have familiarity with HTML and CSS, learn those first. I recommend a book called Learning Web Design: http://www.learningwebdesign.com/ It teaches like a ma…

Had this article been written by a man, people would zero in immediately on Penelope's real issue: She is trying to blame her failure on being a woman. She's started several startu…

The way some of the line items are written/described is very misleading. Setting aside money for "Low Income K-12 students" or Foreign Aid or Amtrak (with prices as high as flying …

You're right, though I do think a lot of the issue has nothing to do with explicit instances of sexism. A lot of things don't need to be said out loud to have a negative effect on …

The difference here is probably the degree to which this affects each gender. While no man wants to limit his options in women, being in a relationship probably doesn't define his …

I don't want to push too hard, but here's two reasons it would be better for you to pull out that list: The first is that it gives a heads up to the few women here who are just ent…

I agree that if your site metrics show large numbers of people set to buy but abandoning their purchase because the checkout process is confusing, then you should work to make it m…

Isn't this more an example of when it's best to let a customer go? Is the cost associated with meeting this small percentage of customer's needs worth actually meeting them?

I haven't finished listening to the full podcast yet, but I think one of the most interesting things about this interview is that it shows aggressive behavior in a woman is very we…

Given a choice between what we have now and a cram school culture, I would prefer the latter. At least then the (predominantly poor, black, and latino) students our public educatio…

RE: Soul Food, one of the comments on the OKC site mentioned that Soul Food applies not only to a style of cuisine, but also to a movie and subsequent spin-off series on HBO. The r…

If the goal of black and latino OKC members is to attract members of the opposite sex within their race (which is most likely the case), then it would make sense that they would co…

I missed your second point. Gray, Fenty's opponent, has been elusive about his thoughts on Rhee; silence is undoubtedly playing in his favor here. Rhee has already made it clear th…

I apologize for the lack of clarity. Didn't want to get too far into the weeds, but I think after school is a great place to start. My favorite example of this are Japanese cram sc…

Articles about education too often end with platitudes about how we need real debate to make changes occur. I'd argue we need action... preferably from the private sector. Judging …
