Dude, this is how skew works. The writer chose who to quote, who to interview, and what words from that interview to use. Ask yourself why those are the only two voices besides the author that we hear in the piece.

Wow. I haven't seen this much creepy, leering male-entitlement since I stopped reading Maxim in the late 90s. The whole thing is just gross, through and through. "Betrayed"? Seriously? If a woman doesn't want her naked b

The impression is, in fairness, less about the main subject, than some of the other stories told in the article. Our future farmer may've been more 'practical suffering' than 'true believer' but some of the other ta

Part of my ‘problem’ with some elements of programming culture, is I fundamentally I don’t think I have that part of my brain where code is my hammer and every problem looks like a nail, so I struggle to even imagine a self-made project I’d

The myth of "hard work = high wages" is one of the most pernicious and persistent of American lies, I'm afraid. It has never been the case for as long as the country has lived.

Same as patents. You don't get to just ignore reams of existing regulation because you tack 'but with a computer' on a business model. Uber is only succeeding on the basis of having escaped notice for long enough that they co

Chrome used to have this feature. History was full text searchable. I used to find old articles based only on some phrase or a few key details I remembered. I didn't use it often, but it was handy when I needed it. Then one day I went

Indeed you could. There's more than enough evidence to bear it out.

Wow. Thanks for that. I didn't even know about the Bitcoin/Gmail breach that came up for my email, and I didn't remember even having an Adobe account. That might explain a breach I had a while back.

I didn't recommend anything. I just suggested one become a little more familiar with history before making absurd claims and value judgements against whole races of people. Every single one of the cited examples had to fight bloody war

Those oppressed groups mostly came "unbent" because they stopped putting up with their oppressors and started killing them. Are you even at all aware of the history of any of the examples you just cited?

You can be, if the judge in the eventual suit decides in your favor for legal fees. But this can take years, and patent trolls big and small tend to deliberately target only those who can't really afford to fight them.

Because flooding the USPTO with an unending flow of bogus patents are partly why those same patents get approved. They're taking part of a system that takes advantage of an underfunded and understaffed agency in order to profit from

I don't think we even have any analog to it in the US anymore. Japan still has a strong tradition of apprenticeship and a cultural appreciation for craftsmanship that, well, the US doesn't even have the history for. Many of the Ja

For the sushi chefs I knew, a towel by the cutting board was absolutely mandatory. The chefs wiped their knives after every roll or cutting task, and they were always sharpened every night with a stone like the ones sold on Buttermilk.

The shape and design of Japanese knives is indeed quite different in use than the typical western chef's knife. It takes a little adjustment, but personally I do prefer a good santoku blade when I can get one, unless I'm doing som

Do notation. Haskell's do notation is syntactic sugar over monads which effectively allows you to write 'imperative-looking' code while still carrying a local state forward without mutation. The Wikibook[1] does a pretty good

Not to mention that, if what has been said is true about reddit struggling with profitability, he probably has little to worry about in terms of a suit.
