I still don't quite get it; couldn't they have just mandated the usage/inclusion of trans-fat in product, and let the consumers avoid it? By the same standards, we're still letting people smoke and drink.

I just turned 27 and this perspective frightens me beyond I prefer to admit. I live in Toronto area, but want to work in Silicon Valley one day. One of my fears is that by the time I turn 29 or 30, I may be "too old" to attract em

One of the most popular questions I hear being asked about MOOC is, "Will employers recognize this as a standard university education". I think, in a way, it's telling that question gets asked so frequently, as if looking for

The non-fundamental shift about software is not that it's creating quality jobs at the cost of medium-quality jobs. It's also not that we are creating robots that will replace low-quality human workers. Because we still believe th

Watches are male equivalent of jewellery; so long as vanity exists, and there isn't an alternative, easy-to-discern display of wealth/style, they will stay. Also the Rolexes are almost artificially made scarce; adding to the allur

I've heard of that extension. Does that make it better? What happens if there are multiple discussion threads in reddit of the same video? I assume the extension does a pseudo-submit/match-check to the reddit first to fetch the th

The Google Photo recognition and auto-management looks pretty cool; except that: 1. Why would I hand over my photos to a third party, that, quite ostensibly, is capable of indexing and tagging it by face- and location-recognition and store

It's an IT-equivalent of cold-calling. Normally I just do not bother responding.

Huh, interesting. what's the feedback from the recruiters? How do they respond? This idea is absolutely fantastic that I might just as well do it myself as well.

by niuzeta 11y ago
This is absolutely brilliant. The thing is, how do you actually reply the recruiters with the link? Surely it would be rather rude to simply reply a solicitation with a 'please check this link'.

Still is.(gave it a try yesterday. Not a lot has changed.) I do like the git-bash on Windows, though. For some reason I've avoided installing cygwin.... ever.

In my opinion , Nero was dubbed tyrant because the media at the time - that is, senators who could write and publish disliked him. The dislike is understandable for his execution of Seneca; one of them. Tacitus hated him to guts and la
