An interesting consulting niche would be to help companies open source software they want to release. Basically: - clean up code, - make sure the infrastructure is sufficient, - help with marketing and adoption, - write documentation

To be fair, you did say: > There is absolutely zero reason why HR/recruiting people should have final say on a candidate. None. Now you're saying: > Well there are obviously certain areas where they should have final say

Barun Singh gave a great talk about a similar workflow at Boston Ruby in December. I highly recommend it. Talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4whL7Ll7ww Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/barunio/atomic-

The tiny bit of actual content in this comment is absurd, illogical and harmful. The rest is defensiveness.

(NB: I fall within the gender binary. Ask someone who doesn't.) I can't imagine many scenarios when it is actually necessary. I just found a good article about how doing Male/Female/Other is problematic, called 'The

Gender is required and binary? Jeez.

Cambridge MA should be included with Boston, if SF Bay Area is an area by itself.

I wish there was also a (stacked) percent graph, to show relative growths.

(Un)conscious (in)competence reminds me of Donald Rumsfeld's trichotomy of known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns. (highlighted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ex8EEv-WPs )

I definitely thought this was going to be storing data as the image. I'd be interesting in the (computational) detection for that. Of course, if you just encode/decode it, Yahoo could do the same. If you encrypt the data, they could just ch

I don't think the original commenter did anything to depict you as over sensitive, nor were they attempting to speak for anyone else.

In Dodgeball/Foursquare's case, how do deals like this work? I assume when you sell a company you also sign a non-compete agreement. For example, Instagram couldn't have just sold to facebook for $1B then turn around and make the same thing

The OP seems to be aware of this. He's stating it would have been better to just state his 10 points rather than hide behind sarcasm. (I agree.)

Seems like it's too late for that. You should just add another option and ignore the haters. (edit: thanks)

An expert in farming has a conflict of interest in determining whether using animals for humans is ethical. Sure, I'd trust a farmer on the most "effective" way to artificially inseminate a cow, but I don't need to study farming to say the

Apparently pinterest does it via <meta name="pinterest" content="nopin" /> You could honor a 'content="nopin"'. It's be interesting if that became a standard (similar to nofollow or robots.txt). [1] https://help.pinterest.com/en

I suggest making the 'Demo' button more prominent! It's tiny and low contrast (white on light green). Both 'View the code' and 'Download' are bigger. People could ostensibly want to view the code before seeing it but I can't imagine many wo

Very good question. I'm not sure I have a good answer. I haven't though about it in terms of it being a moral obligation. My intuitive, immediate response is that it has something to do with (most?) privilege being an unfair, oppressive in

Thanks for sharing this. There's a quote I remember from somewhere about this that was something along the lines of "When you give someone two bad options, don't be surprised when they take one."

Maybe. This is a tough point. The 'system' obviously sucks but I don't want to skirt personal responsibility. It's the upper-middle class straight white cisgendered male's fault if he doesn't take the time to learn about his privilege. He h
