The problem with these scooters is that they are great as a user, but terrible for everyone else. They are a lot of fun to ride, but if you're just a regular old pedestrian they are a nightmare, people park them in the streets and pas

Sure, evalutations are flawed, but it appears that universities are unable or unwilling to develop other quality measures. For example, this semester I've had a networking professor that would get half way into explaining something in

I think it's short cited to come out in a public forum against any employer. I imagine hiring managers are Googling candidates, news sites tend to show up pretty high in search results. I can't imagine that would come off well.

PostHaven is $5/month, but it is much better than medium. They add a tiny little chip with the logo and get out of the way.

Minneapolis does have a growing tech field, and it is laid out in such a way that you can get out into the country quite quickly after the work day. However, unless your working in medical devices I wouldn't call it a hub like New York

The first time I heard about it was called ranked voting, but instant run off is the more popular term. There are multiple rounds, where the least voted candidate is removed, so it makes sense.

I can't remember if it was Joel Spolsky or Jeff Atwood who said this, but the analogy they used was Stack Overflow is supposed to be the college, not the quad. There we're plenty of unstructured discussions at the time, very few

Merlin Mann coined, or at least heavily uses the phrase "turns out journalism" which I really like. We like to have something that subverts our expectations. At some level we want to be told that the advice we don't like is
