Using the name "Yoga" for your software is cultural appropriation. Facebook should not do it. It is equivalent of naming a sports team Rednecks.

Again, being illegal has not stopped Apple and Google from doing it. Remember tech industry is lot more people friendly than say aviation or biotech. Who knows how many other companies have engaged in this sort of predatory policies and gov

Upvoted. Looks like people here have not understood that the original tone of the post is that of satire. Besides just because government does not allow something does not mean companies don't do it. If a large reputed company like App

Excellent post. Here are some personal experiences: 1. Keep salaries secret. I like this part. I do not like socialist way of deciding salaries. I worked at a place where salaries were open and left within a year. 2. Give raises randomly Kn

Not a good idea. What I have seen is young inexperienced people create lot more github, stackoverflow junk. Do not mistake me there are badass developers too but you will figure them out just by resume too.

Main stream journalists can not get science right. In the normal course of evolution women with narrower pelvis die a painful death while delivering a baby (or the baby dies). Thus the genes that give women a narrower pelvis do not get pass

It is a real old desalination plant from 80s that is being re-activated.

California's hyper-environmentalism is unlikely to make it politically viable. California in fact could have invested more in water collection and reservoir building but they did not. Desalination is pretty distant.

As per Federal government reports California has second worst quality of roads after DC. [1] Neither LA nor SF Bay area has any good roads. I think your are judging them by lower standards compared to population density, commute distance et

It sounds like common sense but education remains a heavily regulation sector in USA and lets not even get started with child related regulation. I am worried that cop visits, CPS visits etc. etc. might deter parents from doing this especia

These groups are not exclusive and I don't fundamentally see a problem with the later group as well. If parents do not subscribe to the morality pushed into the schools they should be free to educate kids at them.

Does homeschooling necessarily means parents ? Is it possible for parents to group together hire a teacher of their choice and then educated kids ?(sort of private school without government regulation)

I am a road enthusiast. I have driven on almost every single major road in CA Nevada and especially the deserted "no one goes there" type roads. I also take interest in history of roads. California has been sitting ducks on some r

Nah! These rankings are very very deceptive. These rankings are based on political borders of the cities and not the commonly perceived notions of what is a city. Honestly for me entire SF to San Jose belt must be considered as one single c

I am not surprised that IRS needs to work with coinbase to find tax evaders but a `John Doe summons` ? Again, I fail to see any legal rational in the court's verdict. This is a bad precedent and I seriously hope Coinbase gets support f

Experts are useless when they don't have skin in the game. A educational expert advising president about education is mostly as ass-hole where as a teacher, principle or private tutor might be far more trust-worthy. Not one of that inv
