Is this poster for real? I am not sure how this got top upvotes since it doesn't seem to be about the article at all. The article was about women in STEM academia which doesn't seem to be at all about women whiffing a poster&#x27

The name internet came from a protocol allowing LANs to cross communicate. At the time were multiple proprietary local area networks (LANs). Xerox had Ethernet which is why they were one of the earliest contributor to the Internet. The funn

Part of the problem is that social media is both personal interaction and a form of publication. If you view social media as personal interaction then ask yourself how you would react to statements in real life. You would shut someone down

It is more than just the age of tailoring vs undergarment making that is the problem. If tailoring was the only issue, we would just tailor women's undergarments and declare success. The real issue is that women's bodies are far m

In general I agree with you. I hesitated to bring Kiyosaki up because of his later activities. I never highly leveraged anything. The first book never mentioned this. But it did get me to invest in income real estate. I have been glad of th

So the funny thing is this article is the exact opposite of the two most influential financial books in my life: "The Millionaire Next Door" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad". The true wealthy don't ever think of spending mon

This is very confusing. In California I am pretty sure that private property starts at high tide for the ocean and low tide for other bodies of water. So you are not talking about proposition 20 which starts at high tide and extends 1000 ya

Yep this is what I use evernote for. When I was working I had to consume and organize a lot of proprietary information and evernote was the only thing that worked. I use evernote clipper in my browser and forward from email. You can put add

I was a little confused about the PDF annotation part of the discussion since this works for me. The author does say that he doesn't have a mac and this might be the issue. It works across all of my devices and all of my apps. Annotati

If I understand the case correctly (I am not a lawyer) Vinod still needs approval of the California Coastal Commission to restrict access. I believe the case only struck down the argument that the previous owner formed a precedent since the

I don't see how Vinod is any different than the Sea Ranch authority in the mid 1970s. Precedent is not in Vinod's favor. The California Coastal Access law was based on Sea Ranch blocking access to the ocean in the mid 1970s. All b

I suspect google is already filtering your search results based on your behavior. I have no proof of this - only suspicion. I purposefully don't click on quora or pinterest. Lately I see them much less on my results feed.

The way I look at it is compounding just changes the effective interest rate. Continuous compounding is e^rt. Just subtract straight interest from this and you discover the maximum return of compounding over just collecting interest. Most c

I initially found this article disconcerting since in 1999 I would have described Computer Culture as closer to socialist than to libertarian. At that point in time Silicon Valley was still strongly influenced by HP culture which included g

I was at Xerox when they were inventing i18N in the mid 1980s. They were so excited when I started because my real name is Mairé and not Maire. They wanted my login name to include the acute accent. Over time all of the i18N people left for

Yep - the biggest difference between older and younger people in a usability study is that older people remember things and younger people discover things. As much as I like iOS - it favors discovering over seeing and remembering.

Your observation is definitely correct. I took care of my mother until she passed away at 90. When she was young she never relaxed about anything. I think this was because of growing up during the great depression. When she came to live wit

Surprisingly the Xerox Star GUI was verb-noun and the Apple Mac of the same era was noun-verb. There were (of course) exceptions. I started with verb-noun on the Star then migrated over to the noun-verb on the mac. Noun-verb seemed immediat

Most companies will require legal approval anyway before you are allowed to use it. For instance, at a previous company we were forbidden to use React until Facebook changed over to the MIT license. Facebook had a poison pill buried into th

ADU size depends on lot size and zoning. In Santa Cruz county, ADUs inside the "utility zone" are limited to 10% for normal lot sizes up to a max of 640 sqft. Large lots can have an ADU up to 800 sqft. Outside of the "utility

I don't think anyone thinks SE violated the law. The point is they are a useful organization that many people use. The policy is causing their target audience to question the usefulness and try to find alternatives. I am curious about

Are you using the TV side of AT&T? We just dropped AT&T (directv) because of the bogus charges. We now only use streaming services. We are using Comcast for the internet and nothing else.

Yep. I was also pondering this point. I have always found the whole Hispanic / Latino question in the census confusing. What are people trying to do with this information? Why not call out other ethnic groups? The history of the Irish

I believe the previous poster was talking about ethnicity and you are talking about race. Race=biology and ethnicity=culture. The census mixes the concepts of race and ethnicity. That is why if you total the census percentages in your wiki

John Scalzi posted this article on twitter - and I made the same point that it was likely to comply with the ADA. The whole thing seems like a tempest in a teapot given the relatively poor quality of speech to text. Text to speech is actual
