I really like this idea, and Weebly seems to be doing everything to make it as easy on the applicant as possible. Outside of financial compensation, though, I hope that companies that do this are very flexible on the scheduling of the week

Hawaii is awesome to live in for some people. Cost of living isn't that bad, especially without a family. Once you start thinking about private education for your kids (since public is in the bottom quarter of the country) you will fee

Could someone clarify how radiation dosing and dose rates are measured? The article says background radiation levels peaked at .15 mSv in 1963. Looking at the wikipedia page on Seiverts, I am trying to compare this to other radiation exampl

I'm certainly not a "gamer" any longer, but I still have a pretty healthy Steam library. I've been very happy with the increasing options on Mac OS X and I hope they keep improving. I'm way more excited about slower

You can do HIIT in many low-impact sports. Swimming comes to mind, but there are plenty of great high intensity sports which work with agin bodies. Most coastal areas probably have outrigger paddling clubs or dragon boats or crew. I can&#x2

My understanding is the privacy settings will still exist and function. You have every ability to decline friend requests from the people you listed. I suppose there are social ramifications to declining a friend request from people you may

I certainly support the argument that this type of option should be the users' choice, but I'm curious by how many people seem to want to subvert this so that they remain unsearchable. I use Facebook so that I can connect with peo

That's interesting, I recently had a friend change his name to something analagous to "SunBurned". I thought it was bizarre, and maybe just temporary, but it's there, and since I have my contacts merged in my phone, I ha

I know companies and HR have been trained to not answer these types of things based on potential legal ramifications. I've had luck emailing after an unsuccessful interview and saying "Thank you for the opportunity. Informally, is

Different people crave different things in a place to live. Big metropolitan cities have a certain allure to many. They're exciting, happening, and full of intersting people. One of my goals is to put myself in a situation to live comf

Unfortunately no one can log into a memorialized page, even with the valid credentials. It was very difficult to get information off facebook (pictures, etc.) once the page was memorialized after the death of a loved one.

Sometimes it's nice to have a place to actually send things. It's like writing a letter to someone you never actually intend to send. I think in the case of Facebook, it's probably nice to actually push that "send"

What's wrong with enjoying the feeling of being counterculture? This whole anti-hipster sentiment is so bizarre to me. It's all about policing other peoples' fashion/taste/activities without reason. The idea that hi

It's very presumptuous of you to assume that "hipsters" don't actually enjoy the things they do.

This is an interesting analogy to me. I've never sought investment, but I always really disliked it when companies broke communication off after an interview or application without a firm rejection. On the otherhand, I think I prefer d

There's actually more to the story. She's not actually Hawaiian, but she married a native Hawaiian and took his name. He passed away and she wants to keep the name to remember him by. In Hawaii right now there seem to be two preva

I'm not sure I agree with the premise that you are either born with empathy or you aren't. Of course there are sociopaths who are defined by their lack of empathy, but they (hopefully) aren't your run of the mill job applican

The second quote is the same sentiment as the Frankl quote I posted as well. It's an empowering thought. We can always choose how we approach any given situation.

In this case you're probably right, but lots of HFT algorithms do use Twitter as a feed to inform trading strategies. Tweets can literally send stocks soaring or sinking.

I think your analysis is mostly correct, but it leaves out the option of really hustling for scholarship money. My good friend from high school was in a position of not being able to afford our flagship state school, even though he got acce

Because suicide is not that simple. I've commented on threads like these before, and have mentioned that I lost a loved one to suicide. It was abundantly clear through journal entries and conversations as to what the impetus of self-ha

That was a great read. It reminds me of the Monty Hall problem fiasco that arose from the "Ask Marilyn" column about it. I appreciate the author of Polymath actually refuting all of the arguments against his post (to a reasonable
