Agreed that it's not exactly a free market right now, but pretending a truly free market would improve things is a little ridiculous. If you fall off a ladder are you going to be shopping around for a good price on an ambulance ride, c

In this case it's more of a "he said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said".

This might seem weird but I've never heard of someone getting a job via Linkedin. I mostly get recruiter spam. Do you work in tech? I've heard outside of tech the site is indispensable. Care to share any tips on how to use it for

Check your local Costco, they had some last time I was in. I forgot what it cost but I imagine it's a lot cheaper than Whole Foods.

I don't know if HR people and consultants are the solution, but denying there is a problem with diversity and inclusion in our industry requires burying your head pretty deep in the sand.

Treat it as if you're going up to a roulette table in a casino and putting it all on 3. In other words, don't expect to see this money ever again. You may get a huge payout but you probably won't. For the mechanics of the dea

I don't have much experience here as I'm a white dude, but my wife asks "What percentage of your team is female?". I think this is a good question, it's straightforward and quantitative. If they are above the indust

One of the first things I thought of when I got a vive is building an app to let one intuitively navigate and understand four dimensional space. I never had the time or talent to hack something together though so I'm glad this exists.

Apple has always refined things that are almost working but clunky and awkward to use. Mp3 players were terrible for non-nerds for example. Browsing the web on a palm pilot sucked. Apple's problem now is that their competitors are buil

I was skeptical but bought a cheap one because I thought it would be fun to hack on. Turns out it was more useful than I imagined. We listen to more music in our living room now that it's become frictionless to play something (I'm

I'll bet either they're returning some of that to investors, or the money was tranched to begin with and contingent on a certain amount of growth.

Your comment is confused. The first sentence states flatly that the wage gap doesn't exist, and then in the second paragraph you launch into a reason that explains part of its existence. Construction is male dominated and pays more tha
