I've noticed that reading "new" with showdead enabled make a lot of pretty interesting stuff available that's not on the front page. A bit of moderation might be useful, but in HN's case, it's so heavy that it seems to…
I'm reminded of the Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
Been there. Unless you have an IOU, anything "given" before marriage is utterly gone, and you won't get any credit for it during the division of assets or determination of alimony. No good deed goes unpunished.
Fascinating quotes, but the design of that page is almost a war crime. I've pretty much been taking a name, rank, and serial number-only approach. My family is my priority, and taking unnecessary risks (as I used to) to…
I like it, and have considered adding something like this for my next project. Does seem a bit wordy, though. My version: 1. Don't be an ass. 2. Anyone who mentions "Code of Conduct" will be immediately banned.
If you don't think you'll be able to act professionally as a team member, yes, the professional thing to do is to resign. So, in other words, do what you need to do to act professionally. No one can object to that.
Ergo, she's an accused murderer! Your move, Socrates!
To be frank, unsure of whether complaining about poor grammar or word overuse.
It's absolutely appalling that a corporation whose scientific professionalism is relied upon by so many would jump in for a cheap shot on this. (It's even more appalling that they're simply wrong on the science, as…
...then fling it right into that envelope!
Given that a single tweet can (now) ruin your life, allowing minors on Twitter seems like rank irresponsibility.
Well, first off, they need to standardize on the spelling... ;-)
The author states that intelligence is an unqualified benefit--more is always better--and uses that assertion to argue against populations evolving in differing areas having different IQ distributions. That's far from…
Selective breeding performed slowly over longer time scales did at least give the breeders time to notice some kinds of severe problems. If you're breeding wheat and accidentally introduce a toxic mutation, you might…
Good on you, buddy! One trick you might try wrt chocolate in particular: Try darker and darker chocolates. If you can get up to 90% or even 99%, you can get your chocolate hit with little in the way of sugar or calories.
That'd be the ultimate in safe space...
I'd be in prison for life for all of the crap I pulled in high school. Is this moral panic ever going to end?
Awful. If you need some eyewash after reading that, read this: http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-yo...
It doesn't appear that there is any consensus that he is a "self-titled chauvinistic pig". And frankly, I'd trust him to babysit my kids before I'd trust most of his detractors. If anything, his handling of the…
Happened into a random chat with a small commercial fisherman (think Jaws boat) recently. He was lit and fed me a lot of details. Sounds like he makes a lot more than I do as an experienced computer guy. He certainly…
The atrocities of the Nazis are not in any way comparable to sexual harassment. Sir Tim Hunt might be a better comparison. One (possibly) out-of-bounds joke and he's kicked out of science, no matter how bad the results…
Does anyone know what safety issues they're referring to? Did a Go contributor beat someone (or threaten to)?
Headline is clickbait, but one of the things you learn during the process is that what your ex does with the alimony simply isn't under your control. It certainly doesn't have to be any kind of reasonable expense. The…
As a musician, if you feel the need to publicly shame people that sing your lyrics, you might have a problem.
This is the key. If no one is allowed to moderate this stuff, legitimate replies will simply be drowned in a sea of garbage. (Not that I personally care, since I've already dumped Twitter.)
