It sounds like your problem with the article is that its "mother goddess" interpretation is baseless because there is no written record of that time period. That's valid, except you then proceed to offer your own modern interpretation that

I ran a 3-founder startup from my apartment for a year before we got an office and I wouldn't recommend it. Because it's your office, you feel that you must be working at all times, and it leads to burnout. We did become more productive aft

Step 1. Send black teens to courts twice as often as white teens. Step 2. Pass them through to adult courts twice as often as white teens. Step 3. Keep them in prisons 60% longer for the same crimes. Step 4. Use big words like "confounding

In this report from 2008, black students in Florida were two and a half times more likely to be arrested, referred to court, and waived to adult courts: http://www.iamforkids.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Promise... In particular, black

You are surprised at how much the discussion has focused on race? You must be somewhat sheltered. I am white and nerdy and a relative new comer to the United States and not particularly interested in race issues but even I know that race di

Me to KP: You keep repeating that she represents all women. You to me: Odd. KP said the opposite. Are you trolling? Let me quote KP: If she [Adria] didn't proclaim to represent us then it wouldn't be a problem to me. and She [Adria]

I don't have the quote on me, but it's online. Google more if you care to see it. You have made a false claim about what Adria Richards said. If you do not have a quote to back it up, how can I be expected to? How could I possibly find a

If she didn't proclaim to represent us then it wouldn't be a problem to me. I really don't see how that can be argued. She said she is speaking for women in tech. Quote please? I don't think she said or proclaimed anything of the sort.

Women in tech need you now to return our reputation to what it was before your outburst. I disagree. She needs to attend to her physical safety, first and foremost, and her mental health, a close second. The overreaction to her tiny tweet

My hiring process is very similar to yours. Every one of 6 devs in my office has a history of side projects if out of college, failed startups if older, etc. I don't know if I would apply the same standard to a high-schooler though. To give

The article discussed this extensively: these well-rounded-ness requirements are arbitrary, having been introduced in the 20's with the sole purpose of keeping out jewish students. While it may very well be true that the average asian appli

"You can't arrest me, I pay you" is facile in the legal context of individual rights vs. the common good. This is, in fact, the opposite - suppressing the common good (loosely, freedom of the press) for individual gain. I don't see how it'

Given that they paid the printing costs, I guess it's up to them if they want to control it like that. Students paid the printing costs (or, on students' behalf: their parents, taxpayers, or private donors).

Kind of like when Mark Zuckerberg made Facemash to rank female undergrads, and then never succeeded at anything after that?

Slavery bad. Law bad when law say slavery good. Rich man make slave work because bad law, very bad. Is that better? I tried to use shorter sentences.

Your point that there is a historic basis for the law is well taken. However, history is not an excuse, especially when it comes to forced labor (cough, slavery, cough). Also, when you say "used to routinely", you are projecting. The pres

This kind of sentiment comes up a lot, and I am sorry, I find it kind of revolting. There is this notion that cabbies are discriminating against the downtrodden, but in reality, they are the downtrodden. They are low-income, immigrant peo

The top comments on here are all from men who took offense to their fellow man's rather non-controversial (IMHO) acknowledgement that a man necessarily, by definition, lacks the first-person experience on women's issues. They have not comme

Oh I agree on the ROR. I was addressing the silly notion that there is anything remotely hard about finding he-babes to do promotional work. If you are going to say, screw any moral considerations, I am just going to do what's best for my b

And my several years of experience that involved hiring actors and models tell me that there is an endless supply of pretty people of either gender happy to wear a variety of outfits.

Odds are, if you were recruiting for [promotional ] work 90% would be outgoing and attractive young women, just like recruiting programmers will get you 90% geeky white males. Absolutely not true. There is no shortage of male actors and m

Oh really? So you see an article titled "What it's like to have two mothers", respond with "kids need male role models" but excuse everybody, what you really mean is, "it is important for children to be exposed to people of different age, e

I've read your post several times to make sure I understood it correctly before posting. I replied to your baseless assertions that kids need male role models and both genders for their development: "in the absence of a father figure kids w
