I agree, but this is very tricky in the software development industry where things change so quickly. I went from senior to leading a team of 5 people. As soon as I started to lead, my technical skills started to atrophy. I've now s

Are you willing to give "Rolling Stone" a second chance? They've been quite apologetic about that incident. Op's piece seems pretty good to me.

Exactly. If you've ever masked a friends voice as the opposite gender, it doesn't really matter. You can tell by their speaking style that they are your friend.

Don't lump chickens and cows together (the study doesn't). Beef Cattle are much less efficient in both water and grain usage than chickens. http://www.care2.com/causes/cow-versus-chicken-the-true-carb...

Agreed... it will be similar to putting your hand into a closing elevator door knowing it will open for you. I'd imagine new laws will be made to restrict pedestrians from egregiously abusing the self driving car.

I get that math if it explicitly said that this is a 1 year loan - but it doesn't. How do you know this wasn't a 4 year loan? and you pay $103 per month for 4 years? or how do you know that this wasn't an "interest only
