There are more positions made for these applicants but they are at other less prestigious schools. And I don't mean that as a negative. There are tons of schools that aren't Ivys where you can still get a great education. And I'm not talkin

You're definitely not naive, yours is actually one of the most thoughtful comments in this thread thus far. You can look through a lot of the posts above and easily identify who is defending the status they feel was conferred upon them by t

Slate and the New Yorker both did a great job avoiding canonization in their Aaron Swartz profiles. But those two publications have been the exception.

I think of it like giving to public radio. Generally the gifts in return for a donation are of a lesser cash value than the donation you're making. Also... smackfu? Like formerly st marks place brooklyn smackfu?

Absolutely absurd. She clearly knew who Steve Jobs was. She probably just didn't know what Steve Jobs looked like the year she got the job. There are a great number of people who I know by reputation, know by amazing reputation, but I have

Can you be more specific about what seemed wrong to you about the culture surrounding ruby? I'm curious.

Definitely, the article is conflating micro-managing and power. I'm sure there are ways Ilkka profoundly shapes the company and that kind of CEO influence is likely why he is able to delegate effectively.

What if we're in a simulation built by crappy programmers in an extremely advanced society? Even advanced societies will have crappy programmers.

I googled and found a basic filing fee was $180. But even 2.2 billion isn't really enough to create significant monetary incentives for the government to issue patents given that the 2012 federal budget was 2.5 trillion. There are far great

Government agencies don't really work like that. The PTO doesn't get to give itself raises based on profits. The PTO's behavior is based on legislation, court interpretation and a small sliver of their own interpretation after the direction

Absolutely shocking that Malcolm Gladwell's initial declaration that football is unequivocal brutality does not play out as clearly in actual data.

Terse comments aren't hard, just bash the OP without offering constructive criticism. The next programming language to become popular is going to provide some substantial gain in either productivity or performance. It'd be nice to see an ar

He's also been pretty open about the fact that he views himself as a voice of the left and he's gradually seen himself as more political and less of an academic economist. So he's usually not trying to make testable predictions. I recall th

I'm glad "there are a lot of A players" was included in this slideshow given how often we hear that there are not nearly enough good people out there to hire.

I've asked both men and women that have interviewed me if they are engineers. The OP's anecdote sounds genuinely sexist and in a really bad way, but I can also imagine a situation where someone says he has never been asked if he's an engine

It's also an issue that you can give multiple answers to polls. I attempted it just to see if the poll enforced giving just one answer but now I've given multiple answers to this poll as an experiment.

Definitely a misleading headline. I don't doubt she was discriminated against but it is pretty clear she was discriminated against because of her name, not her race because she was applying for jobs online. That could be discrimination base

Actually when I used the word "trust" I was thinking of countries with their own currency that have unstable governments and/or economies. So imagine country X exists in South America and you have 20 country X dollars. A week ago one countr

Intrinsic value and market price are slightly different. I imagine the difference brings us back to the fact that bitcoin is unbacked by any government. There is a worst case scenario that bitcoins are worthless. Government backed currencie

I appreciate the daily submissions because I am only slightly curious about the price of bitcoin as long as it's interesting and newsworthy (i.e. rising or falling significantly). If the price of bitcoin stabilized it would cease to be news
