Buying shares in the company you work for means you're less diversified than if you'd bought the shares in some other company. The biggest investment most people make is the investment of their time into their job+career. If you a

I live on the outskirts of 3d art world and there are definitely a lot of tools to make asset creation easier. You can buy texturing/shading packs, which are usually pretty customizable. There are tools like MakeHuman for humanoids and

Historians have always considered artefacts more valuable the closer they are to the original event. This is because the more steps removed you are, the more bias and mistakes can creep in, like a game of telephone. http://en.wik

You're assuming their options are to stay or to be unemployed for 3 months. I'm saying it would be easier to find a job immediately (when there are fewer people on the market) than wait until everyone is laid off and you have more

The severance is only one month's pay, though, and they had to train their replacements for 3 months to get it. Not to mention that at the end of those 3 months the market will be flooded with all your ex-coworkers. Doesn't seem w

Absolutely, it seems like the author hasn't put much thought into what the junior developer would have to offer back to the company. Some mentorship and guidance is needed, but if you're not capable of working somewhat independent

I know in some places they rely heavily on pay-by-phone services as a credit card alternative, even for face-to-face transactions. The cost of whatever they're buying gets subtracted from their phone credits and the phone company passe

I feel like the people who laid down their lives for workers rights might be more upset about their work being slowly undone and rampant anti-union bias than they would be by some fluff article on a blog.

And fix the grammar. And fix the annoying thing where about 2-3" of the whitespace to the left and right of the thumbnails cause a full size image to pop up. And the glitchy little header effect that doesn't seem to serve any real

I was surprised that nearly 95% of the children of the highest-income earners went to college, especially with everyone talking nowadays about all the good career options that don't require any college education at all. (Trade school,

I didn't think it could get much worse than my former classmate, who would name all his pointer variables after famous ghosts (casper, bloody_mary, etc) because they "weren't real", but I think your greengrocer friend st

I'm not sure if having a justice system run entirely by children of the wealthy would result in more justice... because that's what you're going to get if tuition costs $2mil.

Where I live, if a bus gets late enough (or too full) and the driver knows there's another bus right behind, they'll start skipping stops. I don't think that would help in this simulation because people getting on seem to be

@rockdiesel, it's definitely "for" the trees, where "for" means "because of". You can't see the forest (big picture) because you're paying too much attention to the individual trees (details).

In the US, eminent domain is only allowed if the government pays a fair price for the land. What is a fair price for a partial plot that no longer exists? Giving 1/4 of a plot of a different property probably isn't fair either. Di

Hey, not arguing, just curious, do you have some examples of times where the type system has gotten in the way? And what languages you prefer to use for production systems that don't have those problems?

No, I was a huge bookworm as a kid and I read almost as much as that in the summers. It wasn't about racking up points, just pleasure reading. When you are reading for fun and not for learning, you can go for a lot longer without getti

Honestly, at the school I went to, I would've preferred to have the power to fire the administration versus the faculty. Most of the faculty are just fine. Some were great, most had their little quirks and a couple really sucked at the
