Yeah, this guy doesn't speak for persons with Autism. He's trying to make an 'autistic culture' thing, acting like his disorder is just a choice, a valid social model. Unfortunately autism is not a social model, it is a…
Yeah I read the article, and his rejection of 'people with autism' is akin to 'deaf culture' nonsense. Autism is a tragic, often crippling disorder and this guy wants it to be a culture. That's fine, he can feel however…
It's not used 'too broadly.' Autism is a disorder on a spectrum. Some people have mild autism, some people have moderate and some people have severe autism. These are technical terms. Also calling people 'autistic' and…
@angersock yeah, exactly like the next batch of shitbag YC kids hiring a COO. Because apparently that's who he's trying to get employed by. It's weird that you seem to think that this crowd are shallow children and yet…
Exactly. These things are ugly and this is a cautionary tale for anyone looking to work for a new startup but it's also really important to keep from looking like a bitter employee who will turn on you and make you look…
@ davidw: oh yeah I don't mean that this guy actually is whining, or that he didn't get screwed by jerks. I'm just saying that you can get screwed even harder by handling things like this in the wrong way, no matter…
Because the individual needs something, and the startup does not. what do they care if he is pissed? He's some unemployed dude they'll never have to deal with again. Meanwhile potentially having them as a resource who…
Of course it is, don't be naive. The people he's talking about are in a position to badmouth him right back, end even if they don't he can get a reputation for being a whiner who will turn on people who hire him the…
Don't be ridiculous, If it was about revenue there would just be more toll booths.
Speeding is extremely dangerous. It's ludicrous to argue otherwise. A third of crashes (including fatal crashes) involve speeding, and the faster you are driving the more likely you are to die or fatally injure another.…
Flip a coin.
Talking to a lawyer is not a step towards a lawsuit, is a step towards knowing your options. You don't have to sue, and in fact unless there is a lot of money involved that's probably the last thing you want to do. But…
You can't assume it's not intentional, and we don't have enough info to know if this claim is small or not. Really the only thing to do is to talk to a lawyer. You should already have a lawyer since you've got a…
Talk to your lawyer. Don't waste time faffing around with this. You don't have to sue them but you do need to get advice from a legal professional who specializes in this kind of thing.
This isn't clearly written (English not the first language?) but the gist of it is actually interesting: the implication is that controversial or provocative posts get pruned from facebook (or at least buried under a…
They aren't, though. Zombies are vastly inferior in all ways (including destructive potential) to their videogame-playing foes. You shoot them down in their thousands.
This is the attitude of a bullying victim. Bullies leave you alone if you fit in, they don't leave you alone if you don't. It's not about being awesome or resilient, it's about conformity.
A lot (edit: all) of these are dumb correlation = causation crap. The most egregious one is the "don't win awards" point, on which all the following ones are predicated. The suggestion that you can have better…
It does point to the soundcloud recording.
It was T.S. Eliot. and the real quote is "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different."
>"How to spot the fake answers put there to fool you" == "how to see when an answer isn't even in the ballpark". That's a useful skill. That "context clues" thing suggests teaching students how to solve the problem in…
Thank you.
I disagree. I am always hearing about how this or that service got compromised and stored passwords in plaintext or something, and now all those passwords are in the wild. I write really hard to crack passwords (funny…
these are really weak passwords. I write poems that I made up myself. In middle english. I use the letter thorn sometimes.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
