Things have definitely come a long way since the nineties where you would read a book or comic and wonder about how great it will be when the property will get adapted and reach a wider audience. It's kind of like listening to a band b

Slavophilia is a concept that is hundreds of years old and is essential in understanding the historical and cultural differences between the West and Russia and of course how they interpreted the Enlightenment. This is on the level of impor

I don't envy the prospect of talking to a future employer when you work in a public space. Every day, you frequently respond, "uhhh no thanks" or, "maybe... Hold on I'll call you back" while you step outside th

On the "old white dudes" claim, I noticed something funny during my technician exam: most (all white men) had glasses, plaid shirts, and worked in engineering or tech fields. Crew cuts. It was like a Twilight Zone episode of meeti

The anecdote would imply that if you're a tech worker, hiring more H1B's or outsourcing development is financially beneficial to shareholders and management while it puts downward pressure on wages for employees.

Parent discusses immigration in terms of xenophobia. The anecdote is an example of how an employee not wanting to be replaced by a lower salary individual isn't xenophobic. The desire to drive down wages though is in the economic inter

One of my "friends" bragged to me this year about how he threatened to replace one of his underperforming programmers with someone from Pakistan for $10 an hour. Say you're on the receiving end of this threat. Do you really c

I think the policy positions do matter though... The Democrats were pro labor before Clinton helped to pass NAFTA. Limbaugh would even mock Democrat voters who thought Bill would "find you a job". There's no illusion of that

Doesn't the use of the word "just" frequently imply that someone is violating the yagni principle? Being rude can certainly be unproductive as well, but an infinite amount time and money can be wasted on unnecessary features

Is that where the subplot of the chicken poster in that movie came from? I was just thinking about Ghost World as I was reading the comments above, thinking, "now that's a subject Hollywood doesn't want to touch anymore.&quot

One time when I jaywalked in NYC I could have sworn that a cab, who was a half block away, accelerated when he saw me crossing the street. My impression has always been that people hate having their time wasted.

I cringe whenever I hear people praise Scandinavian schools: if we raise taxes and get rid of private schools, (to copy what they did in Norway) our public schools will be just as good. Copying Hermione Granger's homework does not make

Meanwhile, the group "Led Zeppelin" also avoided the ambiguous spelling to prevent people from pronouncing their name "leed zeppelin". You can't win with lead.

Money for Nothing is underrated now? I thought MTV even uses it when they splash their logo. Everyone knows it's great, video as well. I think it's neither underrated nor overrated. It's just rated.

We could just as easily argue that Welch kept their turbine business afloat. Or, that someone else tanked it. Or that they were just beat out by competitive foreign markets! So we basically know nothing.

Going through security, a TSA agent inspected my Toughbook and was really impressed by how cool it looked. I didn't have the heart to break it to him that the laptop was outdated at the time. It was just a laptop that you could drop, n

The Huntington Estate is definitely worth a day (and an excellent place to take the family) if you want to avoid the usual tourist traps in Southern California. Gardens, art, great food, not too crowded even.

It just sounds like building a system that's going to be used to coerce and blackmail the public in the future. Why on Earth would you trust that your embarrassing habits will not be monitored and used against you?
