My point is that she doesn't go beyond stating her views (and it's not like she has done anything of value that would make me respect her views on their own, sans proof). Let's say I believe something that most people do not.

I was hoping for actual critique - instead it appears to be just angry spouting by a disaffected 'someone who worked for 5 years in marketing and operations' at 'white men in charge'. What exactly is she bringing to the

I personally use www.taxesforexpats.com - they charge $350 for the Federal return and $75 for FBAR. I've been very happy with their service and am happy to recommend them.

"CSV can be consumed by anything" That's the thing. For 99.99% of users there is no anything . There is only Excel. And dealing with CSV files is headache for them. It's as if you designed parking garages to accommodate

by omonra 12y ago
As a user, I agree 100%. The only way I use CSV files is to import them in Excel. I've always assumed that programmers output to CSV because they are too lazy to implement an Excel output function.

Your argument fails to consider the relative change in safety that Uber is bringing. Maybe having Uber around decreases the risk to women. So even though you read about the story of one woman being raped, there are 20 others who weren'

I think that we have a case of 'silent majority' at work (of which I'm a part of). Chattering classes may yap all day about how Uber is bad - while millions of customers are extremely happy with the service they receive. Howe

I thought same thing - while I love references to GOT it didn't make any sense.

One correction - fialka is not color purple but the flower Viola ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_(plant) It follows the Russian military tradition of naming weapon systems with rather incongruous names that rather

I think your comment is a good example of why talking about intelligence is hard. Note that nobody here advocated forced sterilizations (or killing off ugly babies). All we said is that it's pretty much settled that intelligence is inh

1. The Einsteins were a fairly intelligent family - so it's a bad example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_family 2. You are wrong vis-a-vis heritability of intelligence. It is largely determined by genes:

I think you really are looking to say something critical. As you clearly have nothing substantial to say, your claim 'the disclosure is in the wrong part of the article' is specious. Let's man up and admit that the whole stor

A couple of points: 1. Don't care who TS is. If she was on Spotify, I'd give her a whirl - but since she's not, just not sufficiently bothered. 2. I think she (or her handlers - whoever makes the decision) make a valid point

Is there another hormone more correlated with brave (or reckless) behavior than testosterone?

I am curious to find real research as to what percent of prostitutes are doing it voluntarily (ie not coerced but simply choosing this line of work over others). Googling the issue just brings up a bunch of feminist sites that (much like th

Let me try to address your point. I agree that actually saying "How is it my problem" comes across antagonistic which wasn't my intent. Here is what I meant. In the conversation about 'diversity' in tech today we re

Sure. But we clearly have different societies to compare - ones created/run by white and non-white men (no matriarchies unfortunately). And when I take a look around the world - I do have to give credit to those dead white men. Western

Yes - I agree with you on how she felt. While I'm 100% in agreement that there is no room at work for racist comments (it appears that there was one issue out of 12 years), I'm not sure it's other (ie not black, not women, et

I think this is an interesting read. I personally can relate. I'm a white guy but an immigrant from Europe. Most of my friends are immigrants from the same region and I'm most comfortable around 'my people'. But that doe

I'm with you. I've been an ardent PC-fanboy for decades but got the Air in 2010 (as there were no equivalent light pc notebooks). Initially ran Windows on it - then slowly switched to OSX and won't get a Windows notebook now.

I think your gripes have nothing to do with the state of the PC industry. It's not like after calling Dell and not getting an answer to your question "How do I set up quad 4k monitor off a laptop", you say "Oh, fuck it -

Your argument falls apart at the second sentence. The issue discussed is not whether someone is a registered Republican party voter, but the belief structure they have. Imagine that - there are foreign-born non-Christian conservatives who

Bigotry is a wrong word to use (afaik) in a historical context. It simply means 'what we consider unacceptable by today's social norms'. It was absolutely stupid and unjust (since most upper classes were involved in buggery

I have a 2yo who has been obsessed with cars from the time he could crawl. We never encouraged it (don't own a car or a tv, no siblings) - actually got him a few dolls to try and balance it out. I think that once you have kids and obse

Ok, fair enough - I just saw that thread and thought it would make sense to argue facts rather than moral posturing :)
