You can lump all of your anti-favorite topics together and pretend they are similar. Just know that there are also people lumping you into their groups of crazy people based on one or two things that you believe and they don't. Humans

If women really aren't naturally more comfortable in settings that society has dictated to them, why were those positions dictated to them in the first place? If men aren't naturally disposed to be stronger and more aggressive the

About wedding costs: The median cost of a wedding is somewhere around $18,000 according to TheKnot.com while the median net worth is around $57,000. In other words, the median wedding cost / net worth ratio is around 1/3. Mr. Par

It doesn't appear that greghinch was harping on the semantics. He's harping on the frustration about investors getting to call the shots on feature X or schedule Y. As I understand it, that's the startup game. If you want to

The merging solution is oversimplified. Leaving enough space for another car in front of you sounds easy. But in reality, if 1,000 cars each add 2 car lengths in front of them you've added 40,000 feet to the length of the slow down. Ye

Not now. But his arguments might tell you why the laws were created in the first place. Protection of consumers like you and me. I honestly I can't see a good reason for labor unions to exist anymore either, but they're still ar

Dealers in North Carolina are attempting a similar tactic. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/05/13/north_car... UPDATE: Actually it appears Tesla is having a rough go of it in a lot of st

Exactly. So why did they make a direct comparison?

I see you came here for the comments. You should check out the post. It seems relevant.

Actually you'll find that most dealers that sell cars at a similar price to the Model S offer these kinds of services. $70-100K cars are a most definitely a luxury item.

I've found that people generally have a problem with certain types of comparisons. If I say Bush/Obama is similar to Hitler in ways X and Y people stop listening and get mad, even if the comparison is dead accurate. I think it is

There's a way to prevent the Orlin gambit. Allow the player with the last three in row to take another turn. This creates a means of alternating who goes first. I'm not sure whether this gives too much advantage to the other play

This is a problem that won't be solved with an algorithm. Emotions dictate the actions of humans. It's hard to fix that problem. You sound like someone who checks your watch to figure out whether you're hungry or not.

The desktop is still relevant and really its pretty close to as relevant as it was in the 90's. It's just there are more ways to use computers now than there were then and those new ways of computing have been largely dominated by new devic

They didn't change the pictures of the two tablets at the top. It is also misleading.

Technically, their claim is completely false. Could I also claim that a 12" by 1" touchscreen is bigger than a 10.1" since it has a 12.04" diagonal?

Exactly. I think it's interesting how high the cost had to get to roughly equal the cost of breaking the "social contract". As in, to end up with roughly the same number of occurrences of late pick ups.

The result of that discovery is that day care centers now charge about $100 per child, per hour that the parent is late.

She shouldn't have taken such a large position in a single stock. As a retail investor, that is stupidity. As a retail investor, it is your job to find someone who knows what they are doing and can teach you how to invest or manage your inv

What's the difference, $100 for an entire system? That little bit every three years is probably worth it to reward a company that cares.

If you are trying to build spreadsheets on a touch device, you have an identity crisis, unless that touch device has a 42-inch screen. I would also throw demo-ing SQL server projects on a tablet in that category too. Touch devices were not

People want to feel they have some level of control over a negative situation. This is why people will take a way home that is 15 minutes longer to avoid a 5 or 10 minute delay caused by a traffic jam. It's also the reason people are someti

The phrase "profit-mongering" also shows that you demonize wealth unless you agree with the recipient's intentions. Markets should be designed to reward people who produce and serve others well. When a market rewards someone or a group of p

Interesting notion. You want her to profit but not to get rich. It's amazing how being rich has been demonized by society of late. Profit for the sake of profit works as signalling just as well as any other profit.
