"They didn't know what to do, how to act, how to be" Kids have to be taught how to be normal human beings first, BEFORE school can teach anything. And that education to be a human starts at home, with parents.

I didn't mean to start a blame game but just wanted to point out one very important factor (parents) that's missing in the article. And actually, pointing finger has to start SOMEWHERE to find out what's wrong and figure out

As a parent and married to a wife who's a teacher in a public elementary school in a large school district, I can say all this talk of improving school, train teachers, etc is missing the mark. More of the responsibility rests with th

Full of insufferable egomaniacs? I believe it. Especially in design, where your work is judged subjectively. Full of wannabe Mr Jobs.

What? The extreme dedication demanded by corporation from the employees? It happens pretty much in all big corporations in S Korea and also Japan.

AND may I add that Mr Cook caught Mr Steve's attention when Mr Cook arranged a deal with Samsung to ensure steady flow of RAM. This was when RAM shortage was causing severe issues for tech companies.

Very much agree with it. Facebook is essentially a giant advertising machine, a friend advertising to other friends how great his life is (maybe not intentionally but still advertising). Browse through it long enough and often enough and yo

Without such technology, we will be in a world where virtually every able bodied young man will have to serve in the armed forces. Because of such specialized technology and people who dedicate their lives to the craft of warfare, most of o

Established US defense/space industry does not want to make it easy for SpaceX to enter the market. Simple as that. Since many generals leaving AirForce join the major firms as basically lobbyists, you can see where that's headed.

I agree. Software is easy to work with because you can reboot. With manufacturing, you can not. I heard a quote from someone discussing war. When a war is about to break out 1) amateurs start talking about strategy. 2) Professional start t

Highly recommend "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway". Great book on why Japanese navy was doomed to lose at Midway.

While I agree with you, I've learned no company will stay as loyal to you as you are to them. You always need to plan ahead to fend for yourself. And having SOME kind of side project (no matter how small) is always advised, imho, for f

It's really a shame something like FinderPath has to exist. Finder in Mac at this point is really a shame.

Why not require programmers to submit samples of work (most likely personal, side projects due to legal issues) done over a period of time, like graphic artists do when they apply for positions? I would think that would be a much more corre

The thing is despite the gigantic military requirements placed on US, it doesn't have be such a financial disaster only if procurement was done in a sane way. So there's really no one to blame but ourselves.

I'm sure those interested enough in checking this thread may already know this but before the Battle of Midway, Japanese admirals ran a wargame to see how it may turn out. Their wargame showed Japanense navy would lose with losing some

Which in turn means US will have to do with about 50% less vegetable/crop to consume.

About HALF of produce consumed in US comes central part of California. Exact ratio depends on the type of crop though. And it takes a LOT of water for all the crop. So it's not really the green lawns or swimming pools.

Korea has been using in-floor heating for a long time. Of course other cultures/nations have them, but in Korea it's been in use for decades and used in pretty much all homes. Following video is from an expat in S Korea who put up

The pics showing what-it-looks-like and what-it-feels-like made me chuckle. Very true. I got to visit Autodesk in Northern California in mid 1990s. In that office each employee was in an enclosed office. Down a long hallway were rows of off

So this site is about helping recruiters narrow down candidates more effectively by presenting real coding challenges. I want to point out trueability.com that does same thing with Linux. I find it a very good and fair source for judging Li
