The problem is that different paternity/maternity times makes employers view women as more hazardous. This also reinforces the sexist notion that fathers aren't as integral to early childhood development. I'm sure a new mother would love th

You seem like someone who would benefit from trying to learn design in addition to coding, since you don't seem to understand what design is. It's a classic case of "you don't know what you don't know." As someone who both designs and codes

You and your parent comment are exaggerating. The pay (with a masters) starts in the low 40's for 40-50 hour weeks. There are exceptions, but they are not the norm. Pay progresses decently over a career, but no one gets into it for the mone

I love Netflix being a separate app on my mobile devices. Going through the browser seems hacky.

Uppercase characters are usually more reliably unambiguous when writing by hand. With printed words, lowercase words are more legible because of the words' distinct shapes. It seems that uppercase is just carryover from hand printing. I wor

All of the sites you mentioned don't play to the strength of RSS. RSS is great for YOUR interests, not a crowd's interest. It's the difference between following an author or artist versus following a publication or radio station.

I love the promise of the internet. Nimble upstarts competing on a level playing field with huge corporations. A decentralized market without physical agency. More owners and more competition. Then I read about stuff like this.

Pools are for swimming. Food is for eating. Cars are for transporting. All of those things can be hazardous. Guns are for "safety", but they actually decrease safety: http://arstechnica.com/science/2011/04/guns-in-the-home-lots... http:/

This article exists because this is quite prominent. Managers should be looking at resumes for high-skill jobs, not HR.

Doesn't the sales numbers basically debunk this notion? The iPad is a mass-market device, and the cheapest computer Apple sells.

I'm glad Google is going to offer a high-end Chromebook, but I'd really like to see a $400 model that improves on screen quality and size. A 15" IPS Chromebook would be the sweet spot for me. Also, I can't help but think that making a chrom

What are you talking about? The animations are extremely tasteful and restrained. Don't be a curmudgeon.

No, a 2D layout (vs a linear layout) isn't new or incorrect. It has been around forever and is best-suited for a non-hierarchical browsing of items. The lack of hierarchy is a feature, not a bug.

"Roadblocks" is not why these people didn't have a device properly restore and back up. The point is that there shouldn't even be a way to mess up this procedure, not that YOU want direct access to the file system.

It seems a bit hypocritical for Google to have and open source OS that gathers mapping data from a proprietary source. Down the road, I don't want Google to be the only one with enough mapping knowledge to have self-driving car tech. That d

Fool me? What are you talking about? If I get a S3 or an iPhone 5 via AT&T, the cost will be the same over 2 years. So what you're really saying is, if I get an iPhone on contract, I'm getting more hardware for my dollar?
