Since the pay gap is fair (in the sense that it's driven by personal preferences and experience), there are only two reasons to reduce it: 1) if you think it's going to cost you women drivers and 2) if you think that men are drivi

I'm trying to learn to speedcube after recently relearning the slow solve algorithms. CFOP/Fridrich is very different from the traditional layer-by-layer method, and holding the cube "upside down," minimizing cube turns

My exact thought. I think this is a recipe for getting people to call in sick on Monday before Election Day to get a four-day weekend, rather than increase voter turnout. A half-day off seems more likely to work.

Indeed. I expected an article on rewriting software to at least cite this, if not quote from it.

Like a lot of concepts that are meant to improve communication and understanding, NVC can be "weaponized" to have the exact opposite effect, especially when put into practice by beginners in highly-charged emotional contexts. It c

Impro is incredible. The best improv book ever written and one of my go-to references for all theatre projects.

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. This is the book I've recommended more than any other, and have been thanked by people I've recommended it to disproportionately. He's got a few other books--Do The Work, Turning Pro--that

In my mind I have a secret blog called "Choke-point Assholes." Every time someone stops at the top of an escalator to double-check their gate information, or in front of an elevator immediately after getting out, or [rage-inducing

I don't think it's FUD. I didn't do extensive research, but I quickly googled phones with replaceable batteries and found these two from LG: LG V20 - 5.7” display, 3200mAh battery, 174g LG V10 - 5.7” display, 3000mAh battery

Dude, you can "encourage" me all you want, but I'd understand you better if you simply made your point directly. Midi keyboards with unweighted keys aren't "consumer trash." Their are plenty of professional mus

It's possible for it to be a hardware design error and user error. Or just an impedance mismatch between a particular piece of hardware and a particular user. I agree that the new Macbook keyboards aren't for everyone. Some peop

If you're damaging your keys and hurting your fingers, you may be typing too hard for the keyboard. I'm not suggesting that that's your fault, just that there may be a mismatch between your preferred typing style and Apple&#x

What I never see mentioned in these types of articles is the rise of the service economy. There are some jobs that will never be automated because we prefer to deal with humans. Take food service for instance. No one wants to go to a high e

Too true. Seattle is an incredible city. Fantastic people, plenty to do, lots of opportunity but still livable. Except for the god damn weather. I grew up in the high desert in California and just couldn't deal with the constant overca

Never Let Me Go is an excellent example of the maxim that an idea is worth 1% and execution is worth 99%. It is brilliant, haunting, beautiful and tragic--one of the best books I've ever read--yet it shares its central conceit with a t

I've always been a big proponent of self-driving cars, but only because I imagined them as fully autonomous. A fleet of self-driving cars that rely on being backed by, essentially, a call center, sounds like a nightmare. "When Way
