I agree. I'm also in the short category, so I understand your pain. I don't know about his confidence, but he's got really good looks. He doesn't have much acting talent (in my opinion), still he is so successful in his field. I suppos

Question: did you volunteer alone? Did you code/write etc, that requires mostly working by yourself? I think it depends on the type of volunteering work. If you are going to teach, or work in a garden with others - then you have much highe

wow, this is very interesting. It would be awesome if they can give away the data that powers the app. Others can build their own apps

looks nice. Minor thing - On the big image, the user wouldn't know to mouseover on the tooltip. I accidentally found out - if I hover on the tooltip, it expands. May be you could put the expanded version by default?

I'm not dismissing other people. I'm simply trying to say that talking to other people, just for the "sake of talking" doesn't help much. 10 minutes with people who we love and care about (and vice versa) is not the same as 10 minutes wit

This will only help so much - it'll soon become a chore/annoyance, as it would become more of "checking the box" than actually "connecting with people". This is a problem that can't solved by tech, mobile app etc (tech can only help a bit).

I didn't like the swearing, but for different reasons - it was just annoying/tiring to read "fucking" (or some variation) every fourth or fifth word. This is similar to some people finishing every sentence with "you know". Just a nitpick,

They're probably using the IP. What is worse is that 1. There is no way to actually delete the data. From what I can see, they only disable the account if you ask them to delete. 2. Even if you didn't give any of your data to FB, your frie

woah, you got paid for it, that is awesome. When I started my career, I had to work two weeks for free to prove I'm worth hiring :(

If it has been decided that their friend is going to be hired anyway, then why have interviews at all? Just hire the said friend, no?

I wonder if people (like that webmaster of liarsandcheaters etc) would sympathize more if the genders were reversed. Also, it is sad that Google wouldn't remove these pages from their index, even after a court order. They spend so much tim

People aren't happy, even in places with relatively less politics, favoritism etc - probably because we are trying to optimize for efficiency in everything we do (and maximize short term profits). If we optimized for happiness instead (whe

If the ad is on a separate page (both sides) we can tear it off. If it is part of a page, then :( Internet has trained people not to pay for things, for more than a decade. Most people wouldn't think twice about dropping 5$ on a single cu

May be it was because you were tracking too many things? I think it is like tweeting/taking photos etc - done sparingly, it might be really useful (especially when tracking only important things), doing it too much might feel like a chore.

Yes, ultimately each is responsible to himself/herself. But it doesn't help if someone higher up is taking advantage of such people, knowingly . It is nearly the same as taking advantage of people with low self esteem etc. The managers

Is this not common in other industries too? Not just software? The frustration level is probably higher in creative/logical work (software, advertising etc) but I'd guess the situation is probably worse in other industries. Is there any sol
