When I read "A Russian, vegetarian lawyer" I think of some strange Russian practitioner of vegetarian law, or a defendant of vegetarians. On the other hand, the first statement implies the correct idea that he's a lawyer who is Russian and

It looks like that study shows that the median CEO works 50 hours per week, with 10 of that spent in travel or eating. To me that sounds like a very typical work week without spectacular overtime, crunch, hustle, whatever. It says that some

Because that value is directly correlated with the price that insurance companies can charge consumers.

I think the reason that the people he credits as being as good designers are from his generation is because that was back in the day that a designer could make a top quality game with a team of 5-10 people. I don't think that it's because d

If you watch their videos on the glassbox system on youtube you'll find that this is exactly how they billed it. It was users who expected more. Not that it's bad to expect more. The thing that the new sim city does that all previous sim

It's a good game, it's a bit short though. I think as a simple game it's pretty easy to solve the puzzles, and while you can make it more complex by introducing a larger grid and additional colors, it will ultimately be the same problem. A

I don't think he meant let those people hang around being disruptive. Just don't structure policy around them. If they are outliers in that respect, then will any policy you come up with make those people productive? Will it have overall

I feel as an entrepreneur it's easy to let the weight of the world fall on your shoulders. What we do as business owners is easy to think of as an extension of ourselves. In many ways it is an extension of ourselves. Whether a business liv

I find the idea of "someone better than yourself" as a skewed perspective. It's hard to say someone is better than anyone else for most people. Everyone will generally be better than you at some things, and worse than you at others. Consi

I prefer a little explanation here. "I've just had to track down bugs due to globals defined in this context when they don't need to be. If you use this approach it will save everyone a lot of time in the future." Not confrontational, it's

Yeah. He's not creating a video, he's creating a program that displays a video. If you create a 320x240 program that animation and call it a video, you might as well call every frame an array of 300 16x16 icons. The point is pretty cool t

I think the crime is that the costs are so arbitrary. When hospitals can charge 10 times as much for the same procedure depending on how you are going to pay, someone is getting screwed. Even if your insurance covers it, you're paying that

The child is better off than he would have been had he been left in the subway. Kids need most of all someone who will go out of their way to keep them safe and healthy. He had parents who were presumably a man and a woman. They left him

Yes, but the thing is you didn't build the drill, you didn't cast the fixings, you didn't design the drill bits. It's one thing to google for a sorting algorithm, find one that doesn't work correctly, and learn about it in the process. And

I think that it's probably easier for women to feel this way. More specifically, I think it's probably easier for men to shed these feelings. As a guy, there are a lot of social opportunities as a CS student; from clubs to just friends.

While it's not a perfect solution, most of the time you are not trying to protect yourself from a dedicated, thinking, hacker. Instead you're protecting yourself against automated systems that share passwords. Unless it was commonplace it

You just have to be careful when you talk about study. A lot of study into this sort of thing is based on a lot of feelings and subjective intangible information. Our minds are quite adept at making connections that don't exist, and at fil

This is a poor analogy because slavery wasn't a measure of well-being. Slavery was the omission or suppression of freedoms and privileges that were considered rights. Slaves were bought and sold, and didn't have the right to choose to work

Interviews are a two way street, but in any negotiation there's different leverage. Most of the time, in the current job climate, the interviewer is the one with the leverage over the employee. For many people, a job interview ends up bein

To me, failure is the the result of an action which causes stress. That sounds wrong I guess, because you assume that you can have stressful situations where you succeed. But more correctly I mean that when you make that internalized evalu

I think fear has little to do with it. They put in an automatic system because of the fact that they need to deal with so many claims. It's not that they fail to acknowledge fair use, it's that they err on the side of being restrictive in

University is not about learning. Learning tends to be a means to an end to most people who attend. The end being networking and a diploma. People cheat all the time to get ahead in University, this is antithetical to learning. MOOCs are

To be fair to the author, she doesn't claim that everything is a result of sexism. The down-right douchebaggery is more apt a description for the majority of it, but there's no question that sex factors into big parts of it. There's a lot
