If you've signed a contract that states working hours are between 9-5, I think it's not his job to communicate any diverging preference, that would be the job of management. If 50 hour work weeks are expected, put it in the damn c

The Turkish government is deeply divided, between the islamist faction (Erdogan) and followers of the Gülen movement ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BClen_movement ). Recently, the Gülen faction, who has the suppor

Cool idea, and nice write-up, but now I want to find out how the guys hired with the help of this method fare in their jobs!

The STEM worker shortage is a myth. The Zuckster just wants to keep that cheap labor rolling in. He wants a "healthy" labor market.

If they tell you the company, what's stopping you from turning them down and going directly to the company? I'm pretty sure that's the main reason they don't tell you the company.

Ahh I see. So your definition of the famine-inducing kind of state capital allocation is so narrow as to only include those instances where famine actually occurred. State allocated capital is totally fine then, so long as some of (undeterm

So maybe state-allocated capital doesn't always lead to mass famine?

You're falling into the trap. It's not a question of more or less government. Just like it's not a question of socialism vs capitalism. We know that some problems are best solved when society pools its resources, and other pr

Is China a well regulated market? Or are they communists who don't understand markets?

Please explain, how do you get an efficient market without monopolies if you don't have anti-trust regulation?

It's funny that Perkins, who is old enough to remember WW2, should be one to forget this point.

This tax-for-votes scheme aside, one of the big problems with the American economy at the moment is that much of the investments that businesses are making are to IT staffing firms in Bangalore, and manufacturing companies in Shenzhen. We n

So the French Revolution and the Holocaust/WW2 are interchangeable to you? 40 thousand deaths vs 70 million deaths...

I also think he's overestimating the degree to which all programmers, even good ones, can understand someone else's code easily. In fact, most of the effort being put into understanding how to code properly is meant to make it eas

New Jersey Attorney General John Hoffman and Deputy Attorney General Glenn Graham... since you asked.

If these New Jersey prosecutors fail with this one, I'm sure they can slap some felony computer fraud charges on them for violating X website's ToS agreement. Prosecutors need to lose their immunity, then we might get some sanity

His only evidence of this so-called erosion of status is that anecdotally some non-technical folks got management jobs in tech companies and some journalists were ignorant about programming. I'm sorry but I don't consider this to

Guys, there are worse places to work with no benefits, therefore anything that AOL does is morally A-OK so long as they're higher than the ridiculously low bar of current employment standards. And hey, this is a for profit company, the

You just need to look at history a little to see where the bias comes from. The Cold War lives on.

I'm sure we can expect more anti-Russia propaganda during these Olympics. Not that it's hard to find worthy things to criticize about them, but it's funny to see what the media focuses on.

The very rich (Mark Zuckerberg included) use their wealth to influence government, therefore the answer to #1 is yes, the average person is worse off because they don't get the same opportunity to affect policy. #2 is an odd hypothetic

Actually, most of the wealth is created in the financial services industry, and one can make quite a compelling argument that most of this wealth is ill-gotten. Insider trading, market manipulation, government lobbying, money laundering, an

No more wage suppression cartel? No problem, on to the next schtick; cries for more H1B's because of a "STEM worker shortage". Don't fall for it folks, the STEM worker shortage is a myth.

Meanwhile auto-completes have been around for far longer. Yet another ridiculous patent gets approved. I'm sorry but I don't see any meaningful technical innovation by bringing it to a mobile touch screen.
