You don't need to stigmatize college. Just get employers to stop favoring graduates, and enrollment will plummet to a tiny fraction of its current level. Meanwhile, you'll have trouble getting people to feel bad about going to col

Innumeracy gets a lot of play on here but I've met an awful lot of college graduates—even those with higher degrees—who aren't technically illiterate but are fairly incompetent readers. I'm not convinced the situation with

Women consume shitloads of porn—they just prefer to read it, rather than watch. It goes by the euphemism "romance novel". (yes, some don't have explicit sex, but... lots do, and they're quite popular)

If I even bother with an inquiry for a no-salary listing, it's going to be to ask what the comp is like. I made the mistake of doing an entire interview without knowing in advance that we had expectations in the same ballpark, one ti

I suspect the very horrible interviews at top-comp places exist in no small part to make it painful to switch between them, to reduce upward pressure on wages. I think it's version 2.0 of the earlier wage-fixing scheme they got busted

Oh, sure, if you're really optimizing for as light as possible I guess you could ditch the toothbrush entirely and just count on buying a manual brush for a couple dollars at your destination. Personally, I'd favor cutting space

Minimalism as expressed on the web is mostly a well-off consumerist thing, oddly enough. It's largely about selling nice (or at least "premium-mediocre") stuff to people with money. Natural that it's tied up with expensi
