Yeah, if anything small knives seem like a legitimate threat given box cutters were used on 9/11 to kill people. It's about time to allow shoes and belts to remain on -- it doesn't make sense to take them off if you're going to force people

I like a mix of both and I like freedom. I want to leave from 10am to 2pm and work at home if I feel like it, without having people judge me for it.

From the home page: Our group and our events are not for non-Asians. From the signup page: What nationality are you? (YOU MUST BE ASIAN) How is this remotely acceptable? I have participated in many "ethnic" groups, but I've ne

What's really impressive is that he wasn't relegated to Asian or Asian-influenced films. He broke out with Sense and Sensibility, of all things.

Yes, in the real world outside of the sexy tech startup scene, most entrepreneurs are over 40, often over 50.

Yes. There are probably some other NYU film classmates of Lee who tried just as hard and didn't make it.

The economics don't work. Something like FreshDirect is a much more viable business IMO.

Yes, but not everyone gets into the college recruiting gravy train. You either didn't go at a target school, or you didn't make the cut. Then you graduate and you're basically hung out to dry unless you know someone. This applies to many ar

Because you need a job. You need money. You need experience. You need to get off the couch. You can't be picky. Too many engineers on this site live (work) in a bubble. The rest of the labor force doesn't have it quite as good.

Why not make it an actual "pull down" with the mouse rather than simply scrolling down? This is not the same as the mobile implementation.

So, Yahoo had a human resources/administrative problem, not a remote work problem. They failed to stay on top of their employees because they were working remotely. They were "hiding" and many didn't even know they were on payroll. That's a

And the cable contracts provide basically guaranteed revenue as opposed to the risk of trying out online publishing. Execs want to cover their asses, not risk them. The potential payoff of going fully online is probably not high enough to j

Serious question - what is a product manager? Is there a generally accepted job description for this title?

Agreed, ideas like that sound great on paper but just don't translate to real life in most instances. And I encourage anyone dreaming about working abroad to go and try it for at least a month before making a big commitment.

Agreed. The states do it this way as well. I worked on updating some statutes after a legislative session and it was a nightmare. Many bills conflict with each other. Often, nobody even knows what the latest version of a statute really is.

But if gas was widely available at 90c per tank, it wouldn't be a big deal. People don't flock to restaurants now because they give free tap water.

I'm not in IT nor am I a software engineer. That said I'm tech proficient and was an amateur coder in a past life. Security seems like it has a solid future. What's the best way to train for a career (change) in IT security?

I hated preschool. I don't really remember why, but I was terrified that I went from my comfortable home with stay-at-home mother to dropped in the "wild." I found socialization difficult. Who knows if it was valuable or not; I just know th
