I read your comment as supporting the idea that women forgo STEM roles due to gender-specific negative pressure (certainly true in some cases), while I'm suggesting (also) that some may be choosing different career paths to achieve mor

None of your example figures are in the top decile (U.S.), so it wouldn't be worth it for me to evaluate the other aspects of compensation. In this case, getting out front with a $60K-$90K range would save us both some time. Of course

You should at least consider the possibility that intelligent, charismatic women may not be as willing to pursue 'STEM roles' as equivalently advantaged men. If someone is able to teach occasional yoga classes, do little PR work,

This sounds a good control systems approach that provides drivers with an indirect way to influence pricing. If Uber decides to 'out' cheaters somehow, then I'd worry about coercion by other drivers.

The left is just as bizarre. Here in Boulder people seem to be graduating from yoga to astrology to drinking 'structured water' from bottles charged with 'orgone energy' at a surprising rate. It seems like overkill to us

The Morning Paper ( http://blog.acolyer.org ) is the only source mentioned so far that I go out of my way to read. Highly recommended.

You could use that same number to support the proposition that they are accurately calculating their returns.

Maybe change the url to: https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01204 (this could be automatic for arxiv)

It's also an example of failed city planning! The original Cerdà Plan was considerably more human friendly: https://www.failedarchitecture.com/behind-four-walls-barcelo...

There's been a lot of visible experimentation, but I've not seen anything indicative of a definitive strategy. I would be curious to know if there were any lessons learned from replicating old world European towns.

I'm pretty sure most or all of this port/sudo nonsense was fixed with Plan 9.

Try sending an SMS via Hangouts (desktop), or searching past messages. The background pictures are nice and all, but that's not great UX.

I'd change the title to 'SEC Files Fraud Charges Against Renwick Haddow'.

The people you mention really dislike Walmart. Still a smart move as it lets Walmart snag some mid-america market share from Gap/Banana Republic/Old Navy (the last makes most of the money anyway).

Comcast is currently working on LoRa networks and lobbying for control. The economics of a low power wide area network don't really favor a monopoly, but they might get one if nobody is paying attention.

I'm more interested in recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily want my social network to even know about. How about something new already?

This might be good news for some, but I've moved on. I can't imagine what would compel me watch cable again. Same for listening to the radio... Actually, I wish Pandora would take over radio stations and use their subscribers&#x27

I'd impose a 72 hour pre-election silence to give the public time to process all the campaign noise. I believe such a ban would be in keeping with existing reasonable constraints on free speech, and help contextualize paid messaging in

It used to be worse: keeping an old Compaq or DOS box around just so one random business app would keep working.
