And if the S&P drops like it did in 1987, 2000, 2008, then what...?

Wow the filtering controls are pretty terrible. No way to type in dates, for one.

Nice checkbox animation! I wouldn't use it in a heavy form context but for something like a sign up page it is a nice touch.

I think that's why they were suggesting to make it a button with a radio button inside it(?), but that seems kind of wacky to me

You must have worked with some pretty bad designers in the past to have that much contempt for them.

What happened to the quality of ideas in that study? In contrarian work cultures, the loudest and most aggressive voices win out. Maybe they "came up with" more ideas because one or two people totally steamrolled the discussion, b

given the tone of the rest tone of the article, it might have been tongue in cheek

I used Lyric Wiki ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LyricWiki ) to look at song lyrics by parts of speech ( http://colorsong.herokuapp.com/ ) it works pretty well.

Sure, but a population of 'all women' is different than the comment you are replying to, which was specifically addressing female executives. Here's the data for that, which supports their conclusion - over 50% have their fir

Crazy idea: install a heavy, wood engraved sign in front of their house that says "No, your phone isn't here".

Please do! I'd love to see the outcome.

Your comment intrigued me so I took a look at the site - agreed, the hierarchy is kind of strange and the primary green color is overused. Took about 5 minutes rearranging stuff in chrome console: http://imgur.com/uS7AolF

I totally disagree about Mint. I have accounts across so many different services (bank, credit cards, loans, investments) and it saves me so much time because I only have to log in one place and I can see the full picture of my finances. I

Great idea. As an occasional pianist, this would be fantastic right at the start of trying to learn a new piece, where I don't have a feel for the sound of it yet. I could have the sheet music up and "play" the correct rhythm

When I read things like this, I have to wonder how much socioeconomic statics affects the outcome. They do acknowledge at the end of the article that this is a private school, and that they intend to bring more lower income children into th

This article was OK, but the inclusion of affiliate links in the middle of the body copy made me feel like I was reading an ad in disguise...

Ones that are young enough not to know any better. This is a double-win for a company that only wants to hire 22 year olds anyway, as it avoids having to hide under the hazy fog of "culture fit", and they get free work out of the

So you think "customs" are totally arbitrary? Not following the logic.

I think you meant "gorgeous and usable" UIs but that's a pretty funny typo.

Wow, that is really depressing.

The logic you just proposed is actually illegal in the states when it comes to job applicants, because it disproportionally discriminates against some candidates based on their age.

OP is in Sweden. "To have a coffee" is so common that it's a 4 letter verb (att fika) and they are among the top nations for coffee consumption. So while your point still stands, the number of people you exclude from this req

Do you have any thoughts on how a junior engineer can improve their ability to write maintainable code? This is the main problem I struggle with as a self-taught developer. I can write code that works for the most part thanks to googling al

I know this isn't exactly what you are saying, but just because someone learned to program later in life doesn't mean that they are only in it for the money or that they inherently aren't as competent. There seems to be this

It's not just the United States. According to my Swedish friend bacon-mania is the same there.

"Food babe" is a dumb name and food hysteria is definitely worth scorn, but what's the alternative? I'd rather have people like her raising unnecessary media flurry over things that aren't that bad for us, than have

Relevant anecdote - the other day a friend sent me the logo for a new product his company is working on. Their target market is women in their 20s, and the product name starts with a B. But the logo is a jumble of sharp angles -- definitely
