I had forgotten about the people who complain about homeless people (which as an aside I would argue is more of an issue with society than with libraries themselves), but I haven't seen too much of the "we have the internet and th

So what age is considered "adult"? I've read other sources that say 26 or so, but they base that on the fact that it's when the brain stops growing. Forgive me if I missed something, but nowhere in the article do they de

I agree with you that the ad models which are all about maximizing engagement are a problem, but I think that the article is trying to say that those sorts of models are inevitable given how the internet works. Like suppose no websites did

I'm so glad that this has been made, I tried working on something like this a while ago but gave up after struggling for a bit. At the time I was surprised it didn't exist yet. I'm wondering though if Google'll eventuall

I would love to be interviewed like this. Even though the candidate does end up spending time doing work outside of work, they'd end up doing that anyway if prepping for an algorithms interview. At least with an assignment you can be f

I don't speak for all young folks, but at least for me I just want to be in a big city where there's a lot going on - people from all over, interesting events and new experiences. Oh and also good public transportation, most young

I'm just starting out so I'm really curious how long the breaks you took between jobs were, and if you had the next job lined up before you took your break? Also off topic but what was it like working for non-profits, and what sor

I'm more inclined to see it as trained behavior because this kind of thing varies by culture. It's probably a combination of the culture and expectations around the individual rather than the individual themselves. Children are pr

Perhaps Mr. Bonilla has extra expenses due to his grandchildren. Which he might not have directly chosen to have, but has to raise because they are family. And maybe he is unable to work 90 hour weeks. Sometimes bad things happen to people

Have you found yourself hiding that you work in tech? Do you ever lie about what field you work in so that people won't be hostile to you? If so, what do you say you do? I'm really curious about this because usually people lie to

What are the major effects of an urban vs suburban campus? I would expect a suburban campus would make people more likely to move out there, so it would help with city housing prices, but I don't know anything about how urban planning
