Ha, I'm 6'2" and I'm the shortest of three children. Always fun to see how people react when I tell them that: usually a combination of looking slightly over my head and then blanching.

Broken on safari on ios9: can see maybe 20px of the article at the bottom of the screen, while a sticky header with the author's face fills the rest.

Yeah, I knew a dispensary owner who told me all about Telegram* and how it was "really secure" and how the feds couldn't get any of his messages. He was happy to switch to Signal once I told him a little more.

If you like the idea of the I Ching, you might also like this version: http://where-you-are.com/sheila-heti . It's a "mini ching" presented as a dogital art project - I found the writing, illustrations, and f

Brilliant answer - independent goal setting is a really interesting alternative phrasing of "soul" or "spirit" or "individuality", because unlike those, it can be easily observed or tested. Great writeup, thank

No need for the abrasive tone, the GP was simply offering constructive criticism. Does that not have a place in your idea of respect? If not, why not?

Severely biased in favor of Hillary. Makes sense – their main demographic is bankers, got to appease the customer. When he was in the race, they were hugely in favor of Jeb Bush, too. For instance, this [1] was on the front page of the webs

Yeah, it's not like the NYTimes is impartial either. Read their election coverage for example. I've been thinking about this recently because I was considering adding some more news sources to my feeds, but I'm fairly content

That response is deeply fucked. It also gives further evidence to the fact that most people simply want to live a good life, and are happy to give power to any authority that can promise them that. The thinking here is: the government creat

Of all the techniques mentioned, I've found code review to be the most important to my own growth. It's also the only tactic that is hard to do on your own if you don't have a mentor. It is nearly impossible to find someone m

I'm not that plugged in myself, but send me an email (username @ mit) and I can put you in touch with someone in the know.

Just another sign of the continuing corporatization of MIT (and the rest of academia). Our Dean of Students is now a Vice President, in line with our "peer institutions." At the end of the day, MIT is a corporation, and exists to

coughivyleaguecough Yeah, definitely to subsets, but certainly not to a majority is my guess. There are always people who meet the stereotype of a school, and always those who don't. For every rich son-of-an-alum at Princeton there&#

In response to (1), plenty of exit scams involve exactly the same product that the company previously sold with 5-star ratings. Either an expensive product from the beginning, or long fulfillment times that allow a large backlog of orders b

When I was forced to use Lync (due to an acquisition) in 2014 it was absolutely fucking terrible. The OS X client failed to report online status correctly, couldn't participate in most group chats or video or audio calls, and crashed r

I watched that movie while coming down (ok, failing to come down) from my first acid trip. Not the right choice. Great movie though.

Or, you know, you can sign them and not give a shit. Unless you're working for SuperLargeCo (and according to this article, in most cases even then) nothing bad will happen if you then work for a competitor. As others have pointed out

I'm very familiar with the good Mr. Shaw at this point; looking for something "fancier". Great rec though, it has unparalleled value.

More or less on topic - anyone have a favorite $5-10 bottle of wine? There must be some oenophiles here willing to make a recommendation to a broke college student.

It's stories like this that make me wish as hard as I do for better pre-birth screening for mental disorders, including autism, and continued support of abortion. It's an unbearable burden - to the parents, society, but most of al
