This comment (and article) are silly without comparing college graduates with "unemployable" degrees to people who only have a high school diploma. If you look at minimum wage data (which would presumably filter out "high earning degrees"),

Doesn't it seem likely to anyone else that Keith Rabois was not openly homosexual or bisexual, and that is the reason he didn't report the relationship to the company? Or am I missing something really obvious?

Why is it population that is the metric and not something else, e.g. energy use? The developed world may have lower population growth, but it uses much more energy and it makes as much sense to reduce that as the number of humans. Westerner

Right, I was commenting on this: "As others have pointed out, the safest way to protest a speech code that bans certain slurs against protected groups is to attack your own group. Rabois standing around using anti-gay slurs can easily prove

I looked through your links and don't see anything about Keith Rabois being gay. That he was might be common knowledge, but it's not intimated on those sites.

Just because that's true for you doesn't mean it is for everyone. If an institution I'm associated with or deal with regularly is doing/has done something unethical, I have no problem with people inconveniencing me to raise awareness of tha

The graph in the post indicates that unemployment in all sectors went up after the financial crash, some were just hit by it more than others. Specifically, those who worked in construction suffered the worst from a collapse in real estate.

Ford received a loan that was an order of magnitude larger than what Tesla received. You're arguing from your biases and not from facts.

>"too many liberal arts degrees and too few agribusiness BAs" This is a silly meme. If you look at government data on college degrees (which only goes up to 2004 as far as I can tell), humanities aren't over-represented at all, but acco

I think the article is alluding to the fact that charging users gives a business an incentive to milk those users. It's similar to the debate about customer support as an avenue for sales or as an expense. The business's incentive is to pro

The author of that blog (or one of them anyway), is Tao Lin, and he's a notorious writer/hipster troll. His posts are a satire of a very narrow slice of said subculture, and are worthless if you're not part of it or not interested in learni

It's nice that you question his personal experience because if it's something you haven't heard of, then it obviously must be both bullshit and a consequence of poor parenting. A little digging on the internet (curiosity over blithe ignoran
