If you are relying on Tor exit nodes being trustworthy, then you are using Tor incorrectly. All Tor does is anonymize your traffic, it makes no guarantees once it leaves the network. Either make sure you are using end-to-end encryption or

This is no different except that the ROI is not money. It's a product.

I got my information from the documentaries "The Future of Food" and "Food, Inc" both of which have an obvious bias. I'm having trouble tracking down any other citations at the moment. Here is a [again, biased] citation about Monsanto suin

No, but they are different. And women get murder threats as well. Additionally most things posted on the internet by a man is simply a post on the internet. Anything posted on the internet is a post by a woman on the internet.

Men don't get rape threats from women, I think is the key take-away. I'm sure you can find an example of it happening but it's not a regular occurrence.

Uh, I'm not sure why you're responding to me as my point was that offering below market salaries to try and get "good" employees is a stupid idea. That said, most people don't work solely for money and I'm sure you don't either. If they di

You just pointed out why your argument fails - it's a poor indicator. A company that doesn't offer lots of benefits may or may not respect its employees. Likewise an employee willing to accept a below-market offer may or may not be commit

I don't think the article meant that linkedin grows virally though. I think it was trying to compare linkedin to a virus that spreads by hijacking your address book. At least that's how I read it.

Hospitals really can be that bad. People get sloppy if they aren't constantly reminded that they need to be vigilant. I have personally witnessed doctors open doors with bloody gloves and then interact with patients. http://thechart.blog

When I was negotiating my salary with my previous employer the only thing I asked for was more vacation time. They refused and instead offered me an extra $3000 so I could take unpaid time off. They ended up working me to the bone for 6 mo

>Building something interesting requires a surplus of time and money. Salaried jobs provide neither. Unless the job itself is your dream, stay the fuck away from them. Yes, it's advisable to just start off with time and money.

The question is why do you choose the Paleolithic era as your cut off? We evolved the ability to consume dairy and grains about 10,000 years ago. If you are basing diet on what we evolved to eat, why do you exclude foods that we evolved t

Having used a toilet with an air dryer I will say it worked, although toilet paper is far quicker. It is kind of nice to have hot air blown up your ass though.

When I first started using toilets on my own I stood to wipe. Eventually I figured out that I could remain seated. This was on a western toilet.

Perhaps you are one of the stand-to-wipe types, but if you remain seated throughout the drying operation you will not have to deal with any rivulets. Also some toilets have an air-dryer.
