To the (I assume) idealist that downvoted me; can you provide your rationale? The above is an actual response of rare people facing a moral dilemma. I did not mean to encourage anyone to do this, I was merely providing an antithesis to the

This is a good idea, akin to a Luxembourg for technology, except for one thing. A lack of women. Oh sure maybe some redditors will bring their wives and girlfriends, but they will still be outnumbered in the same proportions as Women In Tec

That one person would get pretty boring after a while. And what is your emotional insurance policy should she perish? I would only do it if I could bring 5 male friends and 5 female friends. This, too, would bore me probably before we lande

I am really interested to know how this brings disrepute to the school. Is it a so school known for churning out world class theoretical computer scientists, that those building dating websites degrade its reputation?

I was talking about this just yesterday with a game developer friend. I was trying to explain to him how I viewed your former employer as being too successful. I said Blizzard was Too Successful in that WoW achieves profitability to the d

If you reread, it says he reinvested all of his proceeds, so a sudden lien on illiquid assets could definitely cause a lot of problems.

Is it really? I am asking this as a genuine question. I am quite sure our ancestors did this. In fact, in many cultures, food is eaten alive and wriggling. How is this any different? Is it really "sick" to kill something slower (ripping the

You're right. It is very presumptuous,almost to the point of pretension. I would change the post if I could. I don't actually know what field will be extraordinary and which will be simply respectable. However, I can understand AI and robot

Robotics or AI, while respectable, are not extraordinary. To do extraordinary work, you'll probably have to go into biology, although I'm too uneducated to know which subfield. From afar, computational and synthetic biology look very promis

Haha, Wow. Tremendous lack of research. How the fuck can you poll 1500 people and just plug it in as 60% are considering leaving? That's like polling 1500 Americans and deducing that 60% of all Americans are ready to leave the country.

A question to those in the know: what kind of education / experience schedule would one need to even think about doing work like this?

Not only is the title link-bait. The plan is pure red meat. We all know that it's not just financial engineering responsible for the crisis. It wasn't just Wall Street. Wall Street just happens to be Washington's latest political scapegoa

Seriously, how on earth does Facebook expect to get away with a 30% tax and reduce virality to the point of only being able to advertise to get users?

Don't worry about being downvoted with a throwaway account. The people downvoting are most likely over 30, paranoid as fuck, and have no hand in creating today's internet. These are the same people that gave me -4 for saying "Yahoo is a rot
