I didn't get the impression that this article was overly critical of self-organization. Zappos seems to have had some struggles in transition, but the article still seems to end on a cautiously optimistic tone.

I haven't been able to kick the Civ habit completely, but I indulge much less frequently then I did back in college. I have told my coworkers though, if I come into work in the morning and look red-eyed and tired, its probably not beca

Yeah. I know road rage isn't rare, but some people talk about it like its normal behavior. Most people I know, including myself, don't let minor annoyances get to them like that.

I also prefer physical books and use them for most of my (non-internet) reading. But there are a couple situations where I think e-books have an advantage. 1. No wait. Occasionally I've discovered a book and wanted to read it immedia

The land that Chicago was built on was very swampy before it was drained. I assume thats why the oldest parts of the El system are above ground, not below.

Yeah, I also felt that it was high, but the more I think about it the more reasonable it seems. I might have missed it, but I didn't see anything about what day of the week the data was gathered from. If its a mix of both weekend and

I saw him give the same talk in Chicago, and the impression that I got was that the body he was advocating for had nothing to do with salaries. The AMA and the Bar might increase salaries by creating scarcity in their professions, but they

ISIS does not ask people to wear a hijab or grow a beard. They execute people who do not comply. The fact that Syrian Muslim refuges have the ability to avoid execution by joining ISIS is no excuse for discriminating against those who do n

The vast majority of ISIS's victims are Muslim. Muslims that don't recognize their Caliphate are infidels (according to them).

Im not sure its a 90-10% split between the importance of infrastructure to business logic code in our case, but I don't think you necessarily need to make the distinction. Something that I've run into a few times is when an FE wil

I have had a similar experience working with financial engineers and traders turned programmers (I am a programmer). They don't seem to value software the same way as programmers. They seem to view their ideas as the most important a

This is disappointing news, as I felt like Grantland was a good one stop shop for things to read during lunch, but it was clear that it was already on its way out. Some of my favorite contributors had already left. Wesley Morris, Chris Ry

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. I dont know how Grantland was doing financially, but its unrelated to cable. In fact, things like Grantland could be viewed as diversifying away from reliance on cable viewers.

Others have commented that security type safety can be important even in applications that are not externally facing, but thats even sort of besides the point. When people talk about 'safety' in Rust, often times they are talking

I think the "teachers aren't paid enough" thing is about the opposite of this. Its not that teachers would be better at their jobs if they get more money. Its that if you wan't to attract the type of people who current

I agree the 1337speak stuff seems played out. I like the names though because they remind me of looking for episodes of TV shows on file sharing services back 10+ years ago. Catching up on the show on Amazon instant video gave me a flashb

Ive been thinking about exactly this recently. I will go out sometimes after work with some coworkers for a few hours, maybe talk shop, talk about movies, books, whatever. But afterwards I want to be able to go home, make some dinner, and

"More time drinking, more raw volume" is part of the point of a session beer. The idea is that some people want to drink at a pace where the can continue for a several hours, drinking several beers, and not end up wasted.

I also may not understand. What I read out of it is that Cortana sends a Bing search request to your default search engine (Firefox or otherwise) and Firefox turns it into a search request to its current default search engine. The existen

Well, Yahoo pays them to be the default, but you aren't tied to it. Its redirected to whatever search engine you choose, rather than it always being sent to Bing.

The author looks to be drawing a lot of conclusions from a very limited set of data. His examples about prices are only from Manhattan and London. He also compares median wages in New York to rents in Manhattan, which is just lazy. I don

I would guess that the cost of running the business is higher than their personal expenses. Whatever the benefits of basic income, the idea isn't to subsidize a business.
