"I'm not going to debate what is work appropriate." As pointed out by a previous poster, I would appreciate it you took the time to understand that this was not the crux of what I was saying. Work appropriateness aside, the idea that only j

"I was attempting to create a legitimate scenario where an average guy might feel afraid of sexual assault." Because the only time that could ever happen is at a gay bar with leather daddies? You "average guy" turns out to be a homophobe, o

"I am trying to say that sexualizing a professional, non-sexual context can trigger legitimate fears." What is it about our culture that makes everyone immediately think about sex the moment we talk about our bodies in the most generic way

I respect women like youself so I will reply in the same way I would reply to any male poster on this forum. What reality do you live in? Do you honestly think it is only prepubescent teens who make jokes involving sex and reproductive orga

Your invocation of some obscure situation where you would feel legitimately threatened in a sexual way has nothing to do with the reality of what happened. It's true that women can be put into sexually threatening situations. It's patently

Because anal prison rape is a fair analogy for a bad dongle joke at Pycon? In all seriousness, how do you think the situation you described is at all similar to what happened at Pycon? Are you saying that Pycon is an event of similar hostil

I believe it was you who simply did not think about the impact of your words when you compared the situation to that of 2 gay men discussing "virgin asshole". I think you need a moment of introspection on your own commentary.

Are you claiming that in the incident in question, a conclusion that she was in imminent danger of sexual assault is what motivated her to say these things? It seems beyond far-fetched but assume that is how she felt at the time. This does

But that is exactly the point you were making: that it would somehow be reasonable to "feel threatened" when 2 gay guys are having a sexual conversation within hearing range of you. You in fact agree with everyone else that this is not a th

Your exploitative example of walking into a gay bar is a disgrace. Assuming the record of events are true, the men in question at Pycon were making a joke about penises, not harassing a woman as stated in your analogy. They are two totally

I think it's neat. It says "concept" and "experimental" (on the Github readme) so I don't think it's being sold as usable navigation. Always a pleasure to see technology demos like this for CSS. EDIT: Grammar.

I don't think the author takes issue with language being mutable, rather, the dilution of a term which has a unique meaning.

I think he means that they are two fundamentally different devices. 1980s cell phones still do voice communication. A replicator, unlike a 3-D printer does not simply reproduce a shape. It also reproduces the constituent matter.

As someone who is officially a UI/UX Designer but plays many roles in a small startup, I agree with you, particularly in the case of very successful startups like Square. Perhaps the reason it isn't more common is that often times it takes

Agree on both points. I never wear a helmet myself.

I agree; it's a point often overlooked that execution can be innovation in and of itself.

This isn't a citation but you might be interested in checking out The Language Log (a language blog, as you may have guessed). That would be a good (and incredibly interesting) place to start to see the countering view to prescriptivism. Pe

Stunk and White, the bane of descriptivist linguists everywhere, strikes again! I'm disappointed in Zuckerberg.
