Humans have a natural drive to procreate. In the absence of education of any sort, humans will have sex. Given that, you probably want to teach kids about STDs and condoms. Guns work the opposite way. Without any education, humans wouldn&#x

What you just said is not a real position that anyone has (in large enough numbers to be worth talking about). The part where you don't take people seriously is the thing that is offensive. You might be confused because people talk abo

Of course not. Apple wants to add support for blocking ads on mobile web to encourage companies to write native apps that can contain unblockable ads. That way Apple gets more content on its platform and potentially a piece of the ad revenu

Good guess, but the article explains how paid translation wasn't working so well for them. It seems unclear how they are going to make enough money to justify this valuation.

It largely depends on which office it is, though I think you'll find that Google has probably the best distributed engineering work force anywhere. Because there are so many engineering offices, everything is set up so that you can get

This is the best advice possible to people who have dysfunctional agile implementations. If what you're doing isn't working, stop doing it and try something else. The only thing that you should consider mandatory is a regularly sc

You should want to do the things you need to do because you understand the consequences of not doing them. Consider this: many unsuccessful people spend all day doing things that they have to do because someone told them so, whereas the mos

The thing is, on Facebook if you post something it may or may not appear in a friend's stream. If you know of a specific person who would benefit from seeing something, at-ing that person makes sure that they see it. Maybe Facebook sho

Here in New York all Uber drivers are registered with the Taxi & Limousine Commission and have to meet city requirement re: licensing and insurance. I'm sure Uber would be happy to comply with the regulations that cities eventually

It's actually a written rule. Look up the job descriptions for SWE2's and 3's and compare them to those for higher levels. It specifically says that you are expected to advance.

That defeats the purpose entirely. There are plenty of schools that take anyone who applies. These specialized schools only take kids who are capable of handling a more advanced workload. And on top of that, the average NYC public school st

The out-of-pocket maximum is the maximum amount that the patient will pay before the insurer takes on the rest of the costs. Even if someone needs $100k/yr medication, he should only have to pay $6,350 per year for it.

$500,000 sounds like a lot. That's like as if he had saved half his take home for ten years while living in one of the high cost of living places that tend to employ finance people at that level.

That's not really a good comparison. In both cases they're trying to put together the best team. Right or wrong, the idea is that having diversity of experiences improves the academic experience for everyone. I don't know why people have su

I was a Software Engineer 2 at Google NYC, which is the level most new grads and people up to 3 years or so of experience start with, and my base was 106K, with the usual 15% expected bonus plus stock and options (though it seems like they'

I think kind of by definition poor people don't have much money to spend on luxuries like having someone scoop their dogs' poop. Though, where I grew up there were lots of people with money who had odd jobs that they didn't like doing thems
