Really? I have a CS Masters and people question my abilities all the time. Must be the tits.

Something something "blue hair"... It's not about being weird, it's about being weird relative to the group. If I'm hanging out with folks at Burning Man, I'm going to look weird if I'm too "default&q

Oh, good, I KNEW this was the article to read today! It felt amazing the day I started wearing a Pebble watch and my friend got his Google Glass -- by that evening we were no longer just two people walking along the streets of San Francisco

Pretty sure you're expected to do your own research here. What do you think this is, Reddit?

Considering that his main bread and butter is writing "Gater bait", it's no surprise that he's finally paying for it.

Put bluntly: All of these 'little increases" are starting to add up in big ways. I'm not that surprised that a decline in one disease is leading to declines in others. As we all live a little longer, we make each other health

The worst is when some sites resize certain components but not others, making them painfully small. The most vivid example is Reddit's text resizing but the actual interactive points of the site (like arrows and replying to comments) a

I'm loathe to reduce the number of powers moderators have. Yes, it gives echo-y mods the ability to create their own echo chamber, but free and "unmoderated" *chan sites tend to do that anyway. Most of the moderators who want

The problems with unfettered anonymity / harassment stem from two major "features" of reddit: It's trivial to make a new account that doesn't even have so much as an email address tied to it, and it's almost as

Ignoring that everything else about reddit is designed to keep people hopping between subreddits and exploring new subreddits is, in fact, demonstrated by the idea that he thinks toxic users will happily stay in their own subreddits and not

Reddit only contains about 6% of the online population (while Pinterest -- girly, girly, Pinterest -- has more like 21%). Believing that 6% of the internet is representative of the internet as a whole is absurd. But to answer your question:

... doesn't saying that set off alarm bells? How good can the rest of the site be if your response is "unsubscribe from all the default content, it's full of shitty people"?

If the presence of these subs prevents other people from being able to recommend reddit to their friends... Kotakuinaction has poisoned the well to the point I don't even want to wear my /r/mylittlepony shirt in public anymor

Completely ignoring that those users don't exactly stay in just the "contained" subreddits, or that this thinking doesn't pollute the water elsewhere. If there were some actual way to enforce this idea that you post in [

"Home Schooling" is code for "parent who doesn't work outside the house (and the income that provides)". Public Schooling is the only way to not burn yourself up, and to get that you have to live in the right distri

I think the general devaluation of said work is also a factor -- coupled with this idea of all these "money-saving" DIY tips that are severe time sinks. If you are working two part-time jobs, you're doing just as much work as

ALL THE SIZES. If you were an Android developer, you'd have to design for heaps more sizes and variants than that, so be thankful and just build for all three. Remember, the tallest one is for the newest set of phones (with the demogra

I think it's a bit of the opposite -- as the economy gets better (or in some cases, "better"), there's more people willing to take the risk rather than keep their heads down, which is going to produce a lot more hopefuls

Last I checked, I owned $0.25 worth of bitcoin. Where's my "just here to say I bought bitcoin before it was cool" option?

A couple guys at DEF CON this past year brought a coin-operated Bitcoin converter -- US currency goes in, QR codes full of crypto come out. I'm holding onto my souvenir bitcoin (worth $0.25 at time of transaction) as long as I can.
