Thank you for contributing something other than pop-sociology to the comments (omg race is a social construct guys). I hadn’t thought about this this way before - eventually anyone with an inclination to “rage against the machine” will have

There are other things that go into it: but-in-the-seat time, titles, etc.

Exactly. It’s not leaving for a 30% raise. There is a compounding effect. You’re leaving so that in a few years it’s a 200-300% raise relative to what you’re making now. That said, I don’t begrudge anyone staying for “love”. If you’re happy

I think at this point we should relent and find a different word for the actual, technical meaning of the word monopoly. It seems like any time there is an article at the top with the word monopoly in it, one of the first few comments is al

This is a great response to OPs comment. At the end of the day we should be doing what is good for the People and somehow its always assumed that they will/should be the ones impacted when policies like these are enacted. But Europe ha

I think on the mobile site 720p is the best you can do. On the app/desktop you can get 1080p. I, at least, have never seen that 1080p option on the mobile site.

I quit because I was getting 2-3 30 second ads per video, 5 minute videos that is. Ended up getting an ad blocker on my iphone and deleting the app. I now have to use youtube.com and settle for 720p, but it's far and away better than t

This is literally an article and comment about Facebook's finances.

It might actually do a lot better than you and I. Remember, it's equipped with radar so it can probably see cars the next block over.

I realize I am a million years late to the party, but this is a good time to remind everyone to turn this “feature” off. It’s buried deep in settings but it can be disabled. The first time this happened to me I had to talk to an old employe

This is exactly right and I think a good example of why we shouldn't generalize. I grew up poor - and judge me however you'd like - but I'd put up with less ideal conditions if the pay was worth it. Reminds me of in college w

I see these becoming more and more common and the goal posts keep moving. From cookies in your browser to now logging your actual browsing history at the ISP level. What methods are there to avoid this type of information gathering, besides

For sure man, I understand. As I said though, great article! Visualizations are important IMO in math and stats, even if people are “visual learners” in particular.

This is a great article but I wish the author had picked something a little more upbeat as example material.

You’re assuming an even playing field. Once a corporation reaches a certain size, do you really think it’s possible for any other company to overtake it? There is in fact something stopping them. There are in fact many things stopping them.

Looking at this as a single instance of censorship as tyranny might provoke ridicule, but I see where OP is coming from. Taken in aggregate, in a world with multi-trillion dollar corporations censor their users, it's not ridiculous to

There is a whole lot of kids here with romanticized ideas of what physical labor is. My dad is a contractor and every summer through college I’d go work for him as a low-skilled laborer. I hated it at the time - all these years later I’m gr

Why this is so poorly understood by people is beyond. Small businesses always complain about how they can’t afford to pay more. But if you need to pay less than a minimum wage to make your business viable then… it’s not viable. Well..if the

100% agree and anyone who says otherwise has either never browsed Reddit on Safari on an iPhone or is being disingenuous. The website is the epitome of scum and pulls every single annoying trick in the book to try and get you to download th

Yep, this is the text the professor used in my abstract algebra class at UC Berkeley. I know they use a bunch of other ones. I definitely wouldn’t have been ready to take this as a freshman - my high school math education was definitely la

This is an insightful comment. Whenever someone loses their account the first thing they do is run to the vendor and flip their shit when the vendor is unable to do anything. I imagine from a business perspective it’s just better to keep ac

I’m with you but I get OPs point that it’s a fallacy to assume competence in one or many fields automatically translates to others. Agree of Chomsky’s contributions, but also think he is over quoted and taken too seriously where he shouldn’

>>>It’s because the most active parts of Reddit’s user base prefer it this way. I would love to see any semblance of evidence that this is true. Reddit shoves a lot of things down your throat and forces users to do things without p

While I agree with you in principle, I think it’s more than permissible to make this distinction on this forum given the audience, IMO, even if the person who made the comment admittedly lacked tact in their approach.

This is exactly how I think one should think about it. It's along the lines of how people say whatever you do, do it well.

To me this article describes how to get on target. Once on target, I do think you go balls to the wall as long as it's sustainable while getting good results. On a side note, I really dislike this style of writing where it tries to be
