That might be true for the upper class, but for middle and lower classes the biggest status symbol currently is a shiny new smartphone with much utility.

Great article. It's nice to see journalists do actual investigative work, even if it is for something like this. Today's "journalism" seems to be all link-bait opinion pieces mixed in with copy-pastes from twitter.

... why is this "Instagram's First Acquisiton" and not "Facebook's Nth Acquisition"?

Just because someone leaves their car door unlocked and you tell them about it, doesn't mean they are obligated to give you any of its contents.

Wow. Read up on him a little, and am duly impressed... even though we don't agree on many policies, if he were in my district I'd vote for him anyway because he seems like he has principles and sticks to them. At this point what t

"There was a huge housing crash 20 years ago, and large swaths of the city were extremely affordable" IIRC that was caused by the 1989 earthquake - all the transplants got scared and moved and rent got affordable as a result.

houses are impossibly expensive in Oakland also.

I don't follow you. To complete a major you take a certain number of courses in a subject. Or are you suggesting that English majors don't learn anything?

The person in your link had a room in SF for $575 per month. She also does not have student loans, and the spreadsheet has no list item for health insurance. It's a nice story but not really an option for many/most people living h

seems pretty inconsiderate toward those with impaired vision. there's little contrast, lots of light gray on white with pastel accents.

I made this app a while ago that lets you search for jobs in multiple countries at once. Maybe it will provide some inspiration: http://leavethe.us

You're not alone... where does it say that? If I had known I wouldn't have signed up. But it makes sense from the perspective of attracting mentors, though to some degree I think you'd get more engagement if it was only volunteer (studies s

My guess is the stronger social support system makes a it less risky to start a company... You have a safety net.

Not sure if it's Federal or CA law but you have to be making over a certain amount, though, to be exempt. In my last company that way everyone in the engeering dept. making under 70K (so, all of QA and tech support)

I like the visual design. The UX is a little weird. I clicked the top image expecting it to move into place but nothing happened. Ditto for the image to the right of the main one. It took a while to notice the controls at the bottom, and a

Plan Event Free in the call to action button is a little odd, should probably be Plan Event For Free Or just "Start Planning" and make it apparent elsewhere that it doesn't cost money

I thought this is the way it typically works... students are admitted to PHD programs after a BA/BS, and they get a terminal master's if they drop out but it's definitely not a prerequisite for the program.

Not sure if joke...

by fibbery 14y ago
OK, so I should have clarified the type of dick joke.. if the joke was "I'd like to put my dongle in her input jack" it'd be at the very least sexist. This one was not. "The default assumption that a woman's actions are to attract attention

Seriously? Dick jokes aren't misogynist,and the joke the guy made wouldn't even earn a PG rating. Plus, it's a private conversation. If they had said something truly sexist (eg commenting about the body parts of a female presenter) I would
