   I'm actually glad you pointed that out because I thought it was real. I don't tend to associate satire with The New Yorker because of the high quality of their reporting. I was just reading it with schadenfreude to my wife to illu

   I had interview opportunities with Amazon twice over the last few years and I've turned both down because of the reports of how badly they treat their workers. I made sure to tell the recruiter why and he said that they get that a lot

   I think the rules apply to casual association to prevent former parolees from going back to the same social circles. I'm pretty sure the rules don't apply to official, especially court-ordered, encounters. Many parolees are requir

   I'm trying to place my finger on it too but I feel an itch in the back of my brain that says "This is important and can be used for the core of something really amazing" Isn't this a similar concept to Tor addresses with
