My only questions is why we're making bullying a gender issue. Bullying affects boys and girls from childhood, and learning how to deal with bullies seems like a gender agnostic issue. But maybe that's my privilege speaking.. Edit

I haven't given it much thought, but that seems like a reason to support a blockchain based voting system. If votes are transparently logged then end users can rely on their own readers/clients to find relevant content. As you upv

Grrr, technology make Dirlewanger mad! Having readers tipping histories encoded in a blockchain could make it easier to filter out spam via network analysis algos. Large chunks of money coming from brand new addresses wouldn't carry as

We see more apps being developed for the web with heavy javascript UIs. I've worked on a number of "enterprise" apps that are simply rest client SPAs. I could see a huge benefit to having a unified build/CI process for t

Only in your books would not accepting an official position qualify as groupthink. It's kind of hilarious. Oh, and Clapper lied because they made him, and thinking otherwise makes you a wacky conspiratard. Real mature.. Edit: Question

Every comment, every upvote, every webpage you've ever viewed - parsed and mined for context specific metadata by some watson-like super-brain. And the interface isn't a regex, it's more minority-report style and lets you que

The depth of your moral compass is "But other people are doing it". I don't see how your comment adds value.

The reason I think my analogy applies is because "pirating" costs cameramen nothing. You can measure their net worth before and after I pirate a movie and it will be the same. The same is not true of bumming a taxi ride.

Did you know walking is the leading cause of taxi cab unemployment? You should really consider the ugly nature of walking next time you decide not to cab it up. Taxis cost money, and their kids eat food.

Of course it's simplistic. A gang is made up of criminals and criminals are defined by the largest occupying gang. Gangs are like government startups if you will. They offer protection and services and represent themselves with flags a

Add a "for the children" angle and you're ready for congress. Edit: As far as baseless speculation goes, I suspect it has nothing to do with legal liability and Apple being in a better position to release a Square killer at t

The correlation between people with attitude problems and those who feel excluded is surprisingly strong. Thanks for your input!

No evidence? Because "we already scared them away"? Okay champ.

> Exclusionary behaviour stands between me and my dream, and I will crush it by any means necessary. I like your sentiment, but I have a hard time imagining women out there who feel excluded by things like the name of a software package.
