Something I have always wondered is why deans and other administrators make such great salaries relative to professors. My hunch is that it is simply because they can, but I feel like I must be missing something. Does anyone know if these t

This makes him sound like a jerk, but man was life tough for couples who stopped getting along back when men did all the income earning and women did all the child care and housework. This actually seems like an OK arrangement when you thin

Case in point: the gmail action icons. Oh god, why? They used to be simple text labels, and now every time I use them I have to hover over every icon looking at the text popups to find the one I want.

I like this a lot, it is a really nice way of seeing the data. I would also be interested to see: - A version with the income on a logarithmic scale to make it extend past $300k in a sensible way. (Not because I need it, I just want to know

I actually remember reading an article in the New Yorker about Elon Musk a few years ago that portrayed him as a bit crazy. Looking at the plans for Tesla and SpaceX at that time, there seemed to be only a slim chance they would succeed, an

I get this all the time. My strategy is to respond honestly about whether any of the changes they are suggesting are coming and why I have decided not to add them if they are not, and when it comes to the rating bribery just ignore the fact

One thing that has really surprised me is how little you can tell about a customer based on their initial email. When I get an angry or rude email, about 95% of the time they will turn into a polite human being once I respond calmly with he

In a lot of modern biology however you will have tens or hundreds of thousands of equally simple competing hypotheses. Biologist have had to adapt to this by using multiple hypothesis testing methods, but Prisig was working well before this

The idea is to leave something fun but approachable ready to go to make it easy to get into work mode. I don't enjoy code review very much, so for me trying to do this first would be a recipe for procrastination.

I think a lot of this applies to me, I have a bad habit of leaving windows open for things I am not actively working on even though I know this can really bog me down mentally. However, while I think there is a lot of value in clearing your

Fun, thanks for posting. If this puts anyone in the mood to receive some Bob Ross affirmations, I really enjoyed PBS's Bob Ross remix made earlier this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLO7tCdBVrA

This is a really good point. If I had spent money on advertising in the past to get more likes I would feel pretty cheated. I wonder what impact these changes are having on sales for that type of advertising?

I really like your point about how men are more likely to be reluctant to grab a casual drink (or even one-on-one lunch, I would say) with women to talk about work because they are worried it will be seen as "flirty." Based on my experience

It has grown on me big time. It is so much easier to judge quality and relevance from a screenshot than from an icon, and having to click through to compare apps was tedious. It works especially well on the iPad where you can see four at a
