Frankly, I don't think we are that far apart in our thinking, yet we are reaching very different conclusions. I should admit my bias... I have a two year old daughter. She means everything to me. I hope that if she were interested in purs

I think we should be careful not to get too defensive over this issue. I don't think most women are bullied out of their role, but neither do I think there are gender differences that account for the full disparity between women and men in

You can skip the email request (click "No Thanks") and it starts the download for the "Women in IT: The Facts" report. EDIT: Here's the pertinent section. They are saying they leave the field, not company, mid-career: "In 2003, only one-th

I'm curious about the big spike last August. Also, I wonder what caused the big page view spikes in Aug/Sept 2008?

I might be odd, but what I find more interesting than the short article itself is comparing the Scott Adams edited version to the original. I'm a rather poor writer, so this is a concrete example of how to improve. The original (Search for

If you like TAL, you might like Radiolab from WNYC (Science focus) and Planet Money (Economics focus).

I like it. Some thoughts on the design: -Stack the controls vertically on the right. Center the "blank sheet" (to make it feel more like a sheet on a desk or typewriter). -Cut the half-sheet from the top (it felt a little crowded to me...

It's pretty painless to point your Posterous site to a domain you own, or yoursite.com/blog. Check under Settings->"I already have a custom domain name (e.g. yourdomain.com)" I'm not sure about ads.

From TechCrunch: "The amount of the acquisition is not being disclosed, but it was likely small. Buying Divvyshot is a talent acquisition for Facebook."

I agree. I should clarify that the data reviewed should be limited to before the story broke.

What we're missing here (and in all of the Toyota articles I've seen recently) is a comparison to the number of 'sudden acceleration' incidents reported in non-Toyota vehicles. If this is simply elderly-operator error, I would expect the L

I agree that the transmission should be encrypted, but I think the usefulness of the video feed to insurgents is overstated. You can hear and see the drones overhead, so it is pretty clear if your area is under surveillance.

Here's the breakdown by manufacturer from the DOT press release: New Vehicles Manufacturers Toyota - 19.4% General Motors - 17.6% Ford - 14.4% Honda - 13.0% Nissan - 8.7% Hyundai - 7.2% Chrysler - 6.6% Kia - 4.3% Suba

It's certainly possible, but I don't think it can account for the full difference. Hopefully PG will provide some recent server stats.

Thanks for the information. These numbers seem more plausible given my own anecdotal evidence. Now compare this to the poll percentages: 21.37% Windows (199) 40.28% Mac (375) 35.12% Linux (327) My conclusion is that a Linux use

I assume this type of poll is self-selecting and that Windows is greatly underrepresented. In a 2005 article, PG states that the ycombinator visitor OS breakdown is as follows: Windows 66.4%, Macintosh 18.8%, Linux 11.4%, and FreeBSD 1.5%

Language may work that way, but RMS is not likely to concede the point. Thus his continuing battle over "GNU/Linux". He's a principled man, perhaps to a fault.

While I believe this article is a fascinating look at the bureaucracy at JPL, it is analogous to the mortgage crisis only in that it is an example of perverse incentives. Perverse incentives exist all around us, so I don't find this exampl

Adrafinil is a similar, but unregulated drug. Legal in the US without a prescription. So, if you're planning on experimenting, at least avoid a felony charge.

The author does not seem to appreciate the consequences of using the MIT License. I don't think he should be using any type of OSS license if he only intends to release his source as a reference.
