That seems unfair. Those platforms don't even attempt the functionality being posed here (from what I gather). All those platforms allow photo sharing, true. But the ability to categorize photos into experiences for reference isn&#x2

Regardless of whether it was done creepily or innocently it's not something I would do or tolerate. Without any context I thought this seemed like an innocent scenario (guy is not a creep)... but it doesn't matter. It's inap

Yes. That is where the term comes from... but it encompasses the practice of using an intentionally "wrong" option. From the linked article: "FREASE: Exactly. And it's funny I'm saying this but yeah. You know, it h

I've heard about this before. The person who was telling me about it said that in almost all cases the C-level person they were dealing with would choose the "hairy arm". Had an unintended way of backfiring frequently.

We have put my daughter on a gluten free diet for reasons that aren't relevant to this article... the byproduct has resulted in a decrease in gluten in my own diet (pretty much extinction). I have always had intestinal issues and a wh

I read a book about Fordlandia a while back. Absolutely fascinating look at applying manufacturing principals to agriculture/horticulture without domain knowledge. Was hard not to think of Fordlandia when reading this... odd they don&

Every hire is so crucial early on and one bad hire can really set you back. I know from my experience that early hires are typically done through connections rather than recruitment. I am sure there are very qualified candidates overseas

gitmy.com is surprising. Easily pronounceable and contains a popular source control name... tempting...

Hopefully you didn't take my response as a condemning of diet alteration... it's something we consider everyday. What has been you experience since the alteration? My daughter has trouble with feeding, but at this age it's l

I did not downvote (don't even have the ability). Our daughter had severe GERD at a young age, she would be screaming through the night in pain. Apparently GERD and gastro issues are somewhat typical of kids with ASD. That being said

A Neuropsychologist will usually administer several standard tests. At this age the tests are very unreliable. There are other signs of behavior they looks for. Admittedly, we went into it thinking "maybe it's Autism, maybe it&#

I agree that it's not the insane uptick that the raw statistics would seem to indicate. But disputing that fact doesn't negate the fact that 1 in 68 kids has some form of disability (not saying you did... but I have seen that fro

The key is that < 3 years your brain has a lot of elasticity. If you are able to address the social and joint attention skills early it can make all the difference. Rather than training a child you can actually make it natural for them

We're fortunate that we have the support (family and education) to allow us to explore opportunities. We are very engaged with the community and are engaged in every therapy available to us. My mind though, when not consumed with doing

I live in Massachusetts. A bill was passed recently to help address some of this by establishing a tax vehicle for long term care. It also extends ABA services to kids on MassHealth (which an Autism diagnosis qualifies them automatically)

I couldn't get through the whole article... Partially because I am working and partially because the issue of Autism is difficult for me to read about. My daughter was diagnosed at 16 months. She is now 20 months, so this is all very

This is the 5th email back and forth... and I wasn't really complaining initially... so the comment "I do apologize that this has been such a painstaking experience" was really taken with a high dose of sarcastic intent. I

Looked into this because I have never heard of it. Based on some forums it appears that often stolen credit cards are used to buy redeemable codes. Those codes are then sold for far less... Basically washing the stolen CCs. Hacking individ
