No, the point is that the author selectively presents information that bolsters the point she wants to make. I'm pretty certain that if she searched for "<blank> girls" -- white girls, asian girls, etc. -- with safe sea

Oh gees. I've only recently spent a lot of time on the interviewer side of the table, and realized how much resume inflation there is out there, which doesn't come out until there's an in-depth technical interview. I can only

This isn't my area of expertise, but I think Gatling would serve your purposes.

This is too much trouble. Also, Facebook has intrusive ways of extracting information you choose to not share, like asking your "friends" what your current city is. Better to just delete it.

Wow! I’m a little jealous of his handwriting. I don’t handwrite code/pseudo-code very often, but when I have a complex issue, writing things out can really improve the thought process.

Maybe? In general, the advantage that paper ballots has is the primary threat is an unethical human. The potential for widespread tampering is low but the chances it happens at all is high. Compromising an application is (hopefully) difficu

The average reader here has a much better understanding of the shortcomings of technology than the general public -- particularly with regards to how much of what is perceived as being secure really isn’t at all. I'm not an expert, but

I would absolutely prefer to send my (hypothetical) children to college for the reasons you've stated here. But really: are increased earnings due to anything people learn at college or because of its social value? I.e. it's been

You don't even know what my arguments would be!

Lumping totally dis-similar arguments together is just intellectually lazy, which is most of my problem with the use of words like "racist, sexist, etc." They have valid applications, but are often used to circumvent rational deba

You say you want diversity of opinion because you are a "liberal" but mainstream liberalism has next to nothing to do with classical liberalism. Your average urban, coastal "liberal" adheres to their orthodoxies with abo

I think Troy will be just fine -- it's the average user NatWest should be protecting.

I agree, but many college graduates (and for that matter some people with advanced degrees I've run into) have no or little understanding of philosophy/civics, history, literature, etc.

Comparing a college education to K-12 public education doesn't make sense. In general, one needs to understand some mathematics up through Algebra and have some reading and writing abilities to be an employable, productive adult. Wheth

To be fair to Google (can’t believe I said that), sounds about as painful as similar role at another large company would probably be. Most expect their employees to drink some Kool-Aid (one of the side benefits to being a contractor/me

Largely not successfully contested, perhaps, but not uncontested. I’m probably more tuned into the Canadian zeitgeist than your average American (I’m basically half Canadian and have a large number of Canadian family and acquaintances, incl

I don’t disagree that saying we have “Free Speech” in America is a bit of an overstatement, but the article wasn’t taking about millennials simple wanting to do away with the phrase “Free Speech”. It states many would be in favor of regulat

Your question is a red herring. Even if there were no examples in the last ten years (and there are), you only need to have a little awareness what led up to the rise of totalitarian governments in the 20th century to realize this is not go

Being sick of bullshit is fine. Having the government regulate bull-shitting is a huge step towards tyranny.

I don't think you're wrong; I could see certain kinds of engineering jobs becoming more blue collar. But at the risk of sounding pretentious, there's a bit of an intelligence restriction on certain kinds of engineering work.

"...it gives them names we can attach theories about them to." Sometimes I think this gets lost in conversations about scientific topics. It's easy to be flippant about what we know in relation to scientists of the past, and

There’s a quote: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”. It’s misattributed to Aristotle, but it’s a worthwhile thought. You’ve written a lot, but said nothing to address any of Mr. Damor
