I think children, and higher order mammals in general needing significant sunlight for optimal health and early growth/development came way before night owls.

Yeah, because more senior workers eventually have kids, and kids need a proper morning wake up, and child care doesn't run until 10 PM. Don't like it? There are lots of industries with nighttime work or extensive travel obligation

Maybe because it's largely populated by people trained in CS, which in turn is rooted in the fairly male-dominated field of math.

I get that this may feel demeaning, but come on, we're trying in the modern world to do something better than the inhumanity of locking the factory doors 100 years ago or yanking a guy's union book, and now people are complaining

It doesn't matter what the numbers show on that, because it's a strawman argument. Most people promoting the preservation of the SAT, (certainly the OP by implication of his comments) is that a high score on it is a sufficient m

You're understating the case: you don't grow food even if you're good at growing, because your value add as a niche software dev probably brings you much greater remuneration and benefit to your customers than if you were a

They have to pay an attendant hourly just to be sure no one is in there while the self clean runs? Why can't it operate based on a weight sensor?

I think the OP wanted you to consider the benefit that 1.7 million could have had in providing direct aid to preventing homelessness, e.g. rental assistance or job training.

How do you know those noises are suppressed and not just neurologically "filtered out" by the auditory cortex?

Unless your software's value is actually a matter of CS research, it has to serve the bottom line of the business functions its built to facilitate. Sometimes thinga like hyperscale or super intense data redundancy or functional comple

I think they would have still been uneasy that he was a SPOF, even if he had charged a lot more. And there's also a cognitive disconnect if a one-man deliverable costs above a certain threshold.

If I'm paying you as an employer for a tenporary full time stint, say 50 hrs. work/week and you're not actually punching in and out of time clock for me to track you, I might have suspicions that you're in fact short ch

Sprouting startups funded by what? All indications as I read are VCs becoming note risk averse right now.

The current U.S. Supreme Court, though perhaps more ideologically bent than I'd like on many other issues, is certainly well poised to start slapping down some of these policies which brazenly dance on the wrong side (gray area at best

Being psychologically stressed out at work is not in and of itself hostile work environment. Read the US law section in the link you posted. The employee actions have to violate preestablished rights or part of thr employee's contract.

Because corporations are voted on all the time: buying or not buying their product /service.

There's no time to do things correctly: only "pretty well". The bar for productivity in terms of time to iterative deliverable business value is getting higher, and it's frustrating having to make quality/throughput

You didn't know your parents before they became parents, and as a child, did not have the EQ anyway to read their personas. Also, a mobile and curious 3 or 4 year old is a LOT more stressful than age 0-1.

I feel like more people should've stolen this idea by now. Why not create height divisions in basketball? Weight divisions in football? Because those are team sports. Weight classes only apply to individual sports. Maybe cross countr

As society becomes more and more surveillance bound by cheap cameras and interconnected devices, the phenomenon of a cold and masterminding murderer terrorizing us for years with public media taunts, and yet eluding the authorities, seems m

Very enjoyable and well done, but not "new". This effectively the same as push maze, with non contiguous rule sets.

I don't think you want this. Even in a firm that is under 10 mil., if you are granted hard equity, you're going to be liable for taxes on those shares, which will be extremely illiquid. Options or RSUs let you have your cake and e

It's a simple test for me: does my manager protect me from bullshit so that I can get high caliber work done, or do I have to deal with bullshit myself because he can't? The former are worth their salt. The latter can get back t

The Nordic countries have the best social safety nets in the world and their native birthrate is still dismal. What short of significant financial incentives would you do? The correlation is women's right to control their reproductive

Europe largely isn't reproducing. It has to allow immigration for its survival.

Arguendo, just look at the inflated costs of infrastructure he mentions. Well above inflation, well above even our European counterparts who have good unionization benefits, environmental concerns, and still manage to decently respect arche
