I would go to dropbox.com, then realize it wasn't there, then Google it. Your customers may do the same.

I think this is more appropriate if you're in a relationship with the person. It seems a little creepy since they haven't actually "gotten very far."

You started it. Anyway, I'm 24, and engaged.

You believed that's the way things worked when you were 19, because it did. And now when that you're 30+, it's different. You're not smarter, things have changed. For men, the late teens to mid-twenties is the period where most mate compet

I was in a software engineering class, and we divided into 4 groups, one of which was the front-end stuff. We had 4 leaders, and the one female leader chose to lead the front-end group. Then all of the females in the class grouped under

No one said anything about learned. And yes, behavioral tendencies which are biologically based tend to have broad effects. Testosterone encourages men to be aggressive in all things. On average, it must turn out better for them. But ther

Obviously women want men that are good to them. But they also want high quality mates (which tend to be jerks, because they can afford to be, the same way they prettiest women tend to be bitches, because they can afford to be). They're al

In fact, it reduces it greatly. Female SAJ are "bitches" and will passed over for the quiet, sweet blonde sitting in the back.

It doesn't miss the point at all. This is a zero-sum game. That is, men being SAJ more than women is problematic because it means they will get more attention. If men reduced their level of SAJ-hood to equal that of women, then men would

I think he's probably referring to changes on the carry-on luggage policy in response to the Christmas bomber. I don't know why they bothered, the bomb was in his underwear anyway.

I flew on Jan 11 (3 days ago) with just this method. I think the restriction is that you're only allowed to have a personal item on international flights. Domestic flights are the same as always.

My hack is that I don't check baggage. For my personal item, I use a backpack. I have a nice, big L.L. Bean backpack that fits a ton of stuff in it. For my carry-on, I use a soft bag of the appropriate size. You might be able to compress

It's not necessarily society's fault. I don't think you understand how far a mother (and the occasional father) will go to save their children's lives. It can be very hard for people to let their loved ones go, society be damned.

Actually, they're pretty identical. In both cases they die of starvation. At least with exposure you have a chance of freezing to death (depending on what time of year it is), which is a better way to go.

Sometimes the ancient Roman practice of exposure seems almost humane.

I submitted the title of the article as it appears on the site. But it looks like a mod must have changed it.

Is it really true that pulling out of China will result in Google getting hacked less (i.e. protect their IP)? If the attack really originated in the gov't, it seems like the gov't wouldn't have any trouble getting past any filtering in or

Yeah, but for all he knows they'll have the intelligence of the common house fly. And not only is that incredibly unlikely anyway, it's essentially no different from dying out altogether. And who really cares? None of us will live that l

Wait. So this guy doesn't want us to find life, which would be super cool and advance scientific knowledge significantly... because it might mean that human civilization might not last that long in the timescale of the universe? I mean, I

I'm usually the first one to get mad at dumb chit chat, but I think this guy is the last one who should telling us how to interact with people. In the first conversation, the person he's talking to is justifiably defensive. Usually when yo

Exactly. The conversation could very easily go like this: DOUG: When is your flight due in? YOU: 3 PM. ... Why do you ask? DOUG: Oh great! Could you drive me to the airport? My flight leaves at 6PM. YOU: ... If someone asks

The algorithm actually deals with this; if the same person keeps upvoting your posts it will no longer work after a while. So if you're using this strategy, save it for special occasions.
