While obviously PowerPoint is ubiquitous and influential, it's interesting - I don't think I've ever used PowerPoint in professional life. The last time I needed to prepare a slide presentation was in high school.

I agree that you want a lightweight wireframing tool; Balsamiq Mockups has my allegiance. Powerpoint is incredibly slow and frustrating to use by comparison, even for non-developers.

This is probably your fault That's the point of the article. Getting these things right on the web is non-trivial (and therefore expensive).

Ridiculous. The reason the Bill of Rights was not included in the constitution proper is that the enumerated powers clause states that the federal government is assumed to have no authority other than that explicitly granted to it. The Fe

Reading tweets is perfect for a flight, it's a never-ending stream of entertaining information that doesn't require a lot of concentration.

Except there's currently a price war going on because of fracking. There's way more supply than there was a decade ago, most of it domestic.

This is one of the reasons I first moved away from internet explorer - this seems to happen constantly on that browser. I've never had a problem on Chrome or Netscape/FF, but I'm generally supportive of getting rid of this c

Being on a fixed income is a valid complaint when inflation is high. Your salary will rise with inflation, but the bond/pension income does not which decreases buying power for those on fixed incomes.

This is exactly how I fell in love with programming. My first program of any size solved systems of equations using 3 or 4 methods and showed its work. The satisfaction was incredible.

It's true that there's no law of nature that dictates housing depreciation. However, I will say that all of America works this way, and has for at least as long as I have been alive - houses hold onto their value. That fact may

I don't really know, but I read an article that said earthquakes contribute significantly to depreciation in Japan. If the structures just don't hold up as long due to the harsh conditions, it would make sense that old structures

Except no one decided that - it falls naturally out of the facts that homes are expensive (and therefore represent a large chunk of the wealth of most people) and that homes do not depreciate very much as a result of people living in them.

I'm not willing to concede that - it's a call center job. The expected turnover in call centers is likely the same as fast food at < 1 year. Here's how the hiring process went for this particular job: she walked in off th

Isn't there room in the economy for jobs that aren't for people fully supporting themselves? Part time call center work would be an ideal high school/college job.

Sure, but that doesn't mean the criticisms are correct (or for that matter, that the compensation is correct).

So if I hire someone, it's my responsibility to find out their living situation and expenses and calculate if they can afford to live on what I'm paying them? Personally, if an employer tried to violate my privacy that way in the

The point of working for a company is to exchange services for money, not to feel cared about. It's the responsibility of the individual to assess whether what they are being offered is going to work for them. There's no hidden

Why is it the company's responsibility to determine if you can afford to work for them or not? They would adjust their practices if the market demanded it.

If you have a fixed-rate mortgage, you will never experience an increase in your payment, so I'm not sure why you think there will be arbitrary increases. Also, while the payment will be higher on a mortgage, you also have an asset.

Also, the pill depresses most women's libdos. I don't think we've listed a non-surgical method of birth control that doesn't reduce pleasure.

Because Animats is suggesting that the OP file a police report, not randoms from the internet. He then says if enough people (i.e. customers of AngelList) complain, they may be heard. There's nothing untoward about referring someone
