How did you choose who your parents were going to be? What part of your carpe diem attitude helped your mom not do drugs and destroy your gestating brain before you were born? How did you bootstrap your country so that you weren't a vi

Nope. I've heard a nonstandard connection means reusing the display isn't straightforward even if you crack them open. Best hope is jailbreaking and running custom firmware, which may open up some possibilities.

This. For instance, we all probably had to go through math classes where the professor writes so fast that it's a hand cramping race just to even scribble together enough notes to follow each gigantic derivation later for learning purp

Colleges have become a confidence game where people exchange money for membership in an exclusive club. That's not say colleges SHOULD be this way, but the reality differs from the old rhetoric. As Peter Thiel often says, why aren&#x27

Most offices have bad cultures that don't foster good communication. The odds of people blaming a tool because they don't have good communication is very high. I think the bit about "my team is starting to notice I'm of

If you want to contain the nutters, build a nuthouse. Every message board admin in the world learns you need dumping grounds and pressure relief valves to keep the population in line. My team has "General" for company wide announc

Yes. And? He suggests ways to alter Google's engineering jobs to suit abilities females are more likely to excel at, such as making work more social. Its almost like different doesn't mean worse.

No he didn't. Stop spreading lies. This is the heart of the lawsuit. Unless you mean he was fired as part of a witch hunt which was much ado about nothing, and that's a sad fact of basing firing decisions on tweets. That is true.

Try reading the memo- with all the citations to research- instead of assuming.

His memo does not say "women are incapable of programming". He says the way Google uses engineers means men are more likely to fit the role. He offers suggestions on how to change the role to attract more women. For example, women

YouTube grants all monetization to the claimant instantly, for the entire period of the claim, even if it's bunk. So take an algorithm that can flag a million YouTube videos, and maybe you steal $10,000 of monetization over cost in a f

Look up stats for how much Obama spent on raiding states with legalized pot. The idea that Trump suddenly has a war on pot is ridiculous nonsense. The idea that the Fed's hands were tied before now is ridiculous. Federal drug policy ha

What happens when you use that wallet by plugging it into the computer, or by entering its information on a computer to perform a transaction? People say "Hardware wallet" like it's a magic incantation.

I hate the one step thinking here. Have the fee when people submit an app for review, not before. Best of both worlds. Lots of developers, rich ecosystem, high hurdle for spam.

So have the registration fee only when you submit an app to the store. Oh wait I'm sorry that would be good design. Apple doesn't do that.

Disregard down votes, this is 100% correct. I only add: Read up on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Realize smart people undervalue themselves, and dumb people overvalue themselves. Remember that if only dumb people ask for a promotion, one of th

We really need to quit forcing programmers to take calculus. Even set theory is a minority of us. Nobody actually needs order of magnitude either, so long as you can tell one thing is bigger than another which is about one day of learning a

Speaking of quote unquote improvements, the community act like bad actors influencing the forks aren't an expected outcome. Somehow only the correct improvements will happen, because reasons. Nobody will subvert Bitcoin, and if they do

This. A logic class could do the same thing if you could get a good, modern logic class. Internalizing for loops, if-else, while, boolean, etc is a universal benefit that would help anyone break into programming. Sadly, I've taken some

I know exactly why I made money. This is a ponzi scheme with unlimited uninformed people joining. You feel your personal level of risk, find a time, and invest only what you can afford to lose. You can do the same with Tupperware if you kno

And transaction fees. I saw someone reporting over $30 fee to get processed within 20 minutes. That's why Steam dropped Bitcoin. As a skeptic, people thinking this is a good currency are hilarious. Day trading and making money off them

Yes, the latest mobile Firefox does make network requests. When Firefox updated, I got a "recommended by Pocket" section full of ads and click bait. I do not want that. And it's on about:blank just like when Chrome started ca

It's health care and pensions you silly people. The stereotype (which is massively true in most cases) is that this generation of aging people suck up vast amounts of health care and demand to retire, while young people don't want

The purpose of university for a first timer is to build connections to get an internship or job offer. If you come out without a job offer in hand that pays more for your degree, you failed. If like OP you went back because you already had&
