The worrisome thing here is that batman outfits and swords are used as proof of the "boy" identity and pink princess stuff as proof of the "girl" identity. This is complete crap - gender roles are not dictated by which a

I've worked at successful companies which did a terrible job at one or another of those, and the customers didn't complain (or die). You can get away with a lot more in software than you can in other disciplines, because in softwa

Presumably there are a couple of engineers who deserve some of the blame, but wow, what better way to say "Our culture is poison". Both because they're throwing independent contributors under the bus, and because he's sa

It didn't actually come that close. Commercial paper rates went to 8% ( http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB122186683086958875 ), which was not insanely high, historically speaking. And certainly part of that rise was due

It's a good question. Why isn't this org targeting other intelligence agencies as well, particularly the Chinese and Russians?

You should write about all the problems with major game publishers and name names. It would be a great article! However, considering how most game sites circled the wagons for the case of Nathan Grayson and an unknown indie dev, I don'

They got upset because moot banned any discussion of GamerGate, including journalist conflicts of interest and censorship on other forums around the web. 4chan until then had had very few restrictions on speech. It was very unusual for post

Does rationalwiki always use such opinionated language (like calling Makow "whiny")? I don't think it does itself credit by that. Surely some pull quotes: "The banking cartel needs a philosophy to justify enchaining mank
