I think this is spot on. I have friends who left the finance industry because they absolutely hated the toxic personalities that it attracts. The ones who went into tech say it isn't much different. Anywhere there is fast money to be made w

I added the "pissed off cop" bit because it is true, go search around if you don't think so. The rest of it shows what I think is a part of the problem. God forbid we express our opinions and try to have a discussion without someone making

Some states have a law in their arsenal if you take a video recording of an officer. Even if they don't, some pissed off cop can just slap on the usual "disturbing the peace" or "resisting arrest" nonsense on you. There is too much hero wor

I think it gets taken away if you flag too often? I had my turn off after I flagged too much and hasn't come back yet after a few months.

I don't think or have the mindset that women are living in some sort of separate culture from us or there are stark differences between us. It's the trolls, misogynists, etc that treat them differently only because they are women.

If you hold up two fingers in the UK and someone tells you it is offensive, you stop doing it. Despite the numerous people who try to educate the guys who "don't get it", they continue their immature ways. I'm not going to give them a free

From what I'm reading, it seems like Samsung is trying to use FRAND patents in their injuction against Apple which I thought is a big no-no. http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsungs-attempt-to-...

Seems like it. The two biggest gripes I've seen is they wanted a bigger screen and redesign. The bigger screen would have been nice, but is it really bothering so many people that it looks the same? I'm moving on from a 3GS so I plan on get

As a mid 20 something in a major city, facebook is still important when it comes to knowing about any events/parties/shows/gatherings coming up, sharing pics and catching up with people you don't get to meet up with too often. Pretty much e

I'm a bit hesitant to having one company have access to so much of my info. I started slowly moving away from Google products.

Well we should wait and find out the truth, apparently SFPD is investigating this right now, instead of jumping to conclusions and sensationalizing everything as the tech media loves to do to get every last page hit possible. As for the Eur

I find that it is often because of information asymmetry, not because person B can't do simple math, that they get screwed.

Whenever the issue of depression comes up, I always see at least a few comments that have the "just snap out of it" line, which doesn't help anyone and is a terrible thing to say.

I'm not the editor for that site so it's not my job. Not sure why I get downvoted for pointing out the horrible writing.

I don't buy that argument at all. I've seen enough incredibly talented people in different fields who know at least the basic minimum of human interaction and know not to be assholes all the time. I've also seen plenty of incompetent morons

Why does it come across as "off" to you? Whatever interest people have change all the time, or the field they initially entered isn't what they thought it was. I also don't see why you think liberal arts to a more "useful" degree is the onl

Started off as a protest against a police shooting (details will depend on which side you ask) and then escalated. Now it is just vandalizing, destroying property, and looting. Some BBC commenters were saying that for the young guys, the au

"One example: I would love to be able to give karma scores to other drivers, and I bet insurance companies would be interested too." I wouldn't. This can easily be easily gamed just the way social media sites tend to be gamed.
