I think that the vast majority of people get tired and go to bed between 10 pm and 2 am. Outliers are rare. Schools operate as if the majority get tired and go to bed between 7 pm and 10 pm. This is just wrong, in world with TV and interne

My parents were night owls, and so was I. Waking up before dawn was a nightmarish hell for me, all through junior high and high school.

I assume this article is reporting the truth about the culture and hardships these women face. If it's true, then it's not a stereotype or a false narrative. It's an honest look at what's going on in that region of India

I had it done around 2013 or 2014, and yes, that was in the report.

The FDA started out with the best of intentions--to stop snake oil peddlers or food vendors who sold fatal concoctions as "delicious" or "miracle cures." 23andMe is not selling any drug. The FDA is now in the business o

The FDA implied that the tests are inaccurate. Where's their evidence? They have no oversight--they are the oversight. That is a problem. They can claim anything, and use it as an excuse to add arbitrary regulations and rules that

Although any moron can self-publish a book, the serious ones stand apart with professional book covers and blurbs, marketing, and multiple novels. The ones who "trend" well often get picked up by traditional publishers or movie st

I'd rather him buy me a house, a vacation, or a Ferrari. Rings are just annoying.

I have a friend who works as a QA tester on this Sim City EA game. He's demoralized about his job. I can see other employees getting pissed off enough to post on Reddit.

The problem, or the balance that must be struck, is that it's hard to innovate without being surrounded by other innovative people. You need a city with a critical mass of innovative, talented people and a low cost-of-living. I agree. Co

Interesting. The author of that article sees Ender as very empathetic, and marvels that someone like Card could have written him. I disagree. 1) I don't think Ender was a particularly empathetic character, and 2) authors are not their char

I was saddened when LEGO started branding their toy blocks for girls (big, dumb pink blocks) and for boys (all the cool blocks and kits). The gender division is introduced to kids very young.

The article points out that bad male bosses don't specifically target men for their bullying. They're more equal-opportunity when they belittle their employees or take credit for their work. A bad female boss will (according to the article)

Only a very successful PC game ("World of Warcraft" level of success) could earn enough profit to pay for a big budget console game. I don't think the average person understands how much labor goes into console games. They're on the level o

Yup. The $50 price-tag for console games isn't enough to pay for their bloated $200 million budgets. At best, the big studios make a very small margin of profit. Most of those big budget games put the studio in debt (or transfer the debt to

Hmm, it might be a sausage-fest in here, since this article didn't garner a single comment in 9 hours. It's not stating anything new or startling. But it hits home for me, since I've experienced a queen bee boss.

I doubt people are presuming that you smoked because you've been to college. That's not a common assumption, at least in my circles. Regular pot smokers have a certain vibe. Not necessarily red eyes, but a way of being very casual and sligh

In my experience, very few productive people are regular pot smokers.

Certain local infrastructure jobs will always exist. These are the basic jobs that exist in every country on Earth: Food workers (farmers, waiters, cooks), medical people, and personal assistants (beauty salons, clerks, holy priests, etc).

Right on. Most of what he said also applies to the visual effects industry. Most people have a misapprehension that creating and animating a 3D character can be picked up over a few months of learning. In reality, it takes decades of dedic

Next, we should see a map with the worst traffic. Who funds these studies? Are they really necessary? Especially with the bias towards craigslist users?
