But that may not always be obvious to people - in my case, for some reason I worry about my future manager "seeing" me in a negative way. Or perhaps they will decide that I'm not a team player and revoke the offer. What makes it completely

Thanks - I'll check the books out.

As a woman engineer, who's a really bad negotiator, I'm not surprised. I know "how" to be better, but I do wilt and get scared when I've gotten an offer - I think only once or twice I've ever made any sort of counter. I don't know why I do

At least for me, part of the reason I like the Fire is that it isn't the full Android experience - I have a Archos tablet, that I don't use for any reason other than to test things. With the Fire I look past/don't see the parts of Android

Although it's probably correct that ads wouldn't impact the content/bias of Wikipedia articles, I think a portion (at least) of the success is that it's clear that there isn't any such interference by corporations on the editorial content o

I have to admit, I'm actually enjoying my fire a lot more than I thought I would - I work for Amazon and got a chance to try a pre-release version of it and was less than excited. The interface still isn't quite as smooth as I'd have hope

Very true - this is what old WML based devices use to do - WML got compiled to WBXML or WMLC (depending on who wrote the docs :), and that got sent to the device, making much easier to handle parsing for the device. There were really big s

Because by splitting the accounts - they've removed pretty much the only piece of value that they provided over Hulu/Amazon/Redbox. There was one single place that I logged on to with my ratings, my recommendations, my queues for both stre

I kept my account even after planning on dropping it when the price increase happened, but now I don't really see any reason to keep my streaming account. At least when they were integrated, searching in one place, and having all my revie

I changed my name when I got married. My maiden name is linked to my current name in a lot of these databases - typically the legal process where you change your name is open, and they just mine that piece of information as well.

I used to work at a company that worked in Logistics. I don't know if it's gotten better, but at least at that point there really was no good solution for multi-modal loads. If you wanted to go truck->train->truck, you were on yo

I went to MIT, I can say that the only "real" advantage that I got from going there that I couldn't have gotten an a different school is that my Resume says I went to MIT - and that tends to get people to take a closer look at it if/when th

There's a world of difference between seeing shit happen to other people and having it happen to you. You might think you're ready to handle it, but the moment you're violated it will likely affect you in ways that you could never really i

I think it depends on the time frame you look at. I started in Java back w/ some of the pre 1.0 releases. Between then and now, it's come a really long way. Maybe I'm biased due to other new(er) languages becoming mainstream. But it feel

I have to admit - I never even thought that there would be an easier math-formula way to calculate it. Though I would have written the switch: case "september": case "april": case "june": case "november": return 30; It's sad,

I don't know if I agree. The Java language has floundered (I've been stuck coding in it for the last couple of years), but I think the platform/JVM has started becoming used more and more often for new + exciting language options. The new

I think the how you see the context of the photo has a lot to do with how offensive it is - if it's a just a random photo from a party, then it's something I'd shake my head at and sigh. If it were something on an official Google page (whic

I don't think we need to get to 50% - I would just like it so that women don't feel like they're pushed out - some of it is cultural (it's easier to believe that you can't do something as well as the next person when the messages around you

I think there's a line between "These are patterns that we have seen work" and "These are good patterns so use them". Back when I first read the book, I was pretty junior and I remember thinking "oh! I can use this...and this!". And built

As sad as it sounds, I really think it's preying on the weak for profit. So much of society/economy/whatever very much depends on taking advantage of those who are don't have much other choice in the matter. I don't think it's as visible t

These are the intro Aerospace Engineering classes - if I remember right (I didn't take it, but several of my friends did) - it really is a bunch of individual classes combined for convenience/scheduling. They're not being taught everythin

When it came down to everything, the amount of aid I got from MIT made it cheeper than going to my state university. I paid it off over the course of 6 or 7 years, with a payment that was less than a car payment. It really doesn't hurt to

MIT also tends to be generous with its financial aid money. When I went there, I ended up paying less than any other school that accepted me - including my state university.

Might be true for guys, but if you give me an L or and XL, I might use it to sleep in, but the chances that I'll wear it out in public are essentially zero. When I see at least some smaller sizes (and I'm not a petite woman), I feel like at

These are the reasons I've really enjoyed playing around with it. Unfortunately I tend to get distracted with many of my toy projects, and so little ever gets seen by anyone. But so far, with Mongo, I don't tend to get as bogged down wi

But I really don't think you'd see it applied there, and if you did it would most likely in the homophobic/sexist way that one is the wife, and their role is to support the "husband". It's one of the underpinnings of what some (and thankf

The lack of a Y chromosome doesn't help or hinder any given task, but the best teams seem to have people who look at the big pictures differently. Having different points of view means having different ways of looking at problems, and wil

Exactly. And teams do better when there are different perspectives, different ways of thought. Women have a different set of life experiences, and if we're dissuaded from technology, then the rest of the technology world misses out of th

Amazon is trying to consolidate into just SLU. Right now most people are either there, the Pac Med Building (which used to be the headquarters), or in Union Station. Welcome :)
