I believe that any knife that can be opened one handed would qualify, no? This would be a "gravity knife": https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Trekker-Pocket-Knife... For context, I carried one of these throu

Same. This sounds drastic to people who are in the habit of Facebooking, but I still have friends and a social life and the hours of mindlessly scrolling through low-info-density posts, likes, links, and whatnot is all gone.

You think this exchange shows a recruiter conducting a psych experiment? All I see is a human keyword grep that is clearly failing to do their job: find relevant candidates and forward them on. I say this having been in both ends of the re

Why does equality require a loss of chivalry? Equality does not mean we pretend people are completely uniform.

It's a 100 x 100 mile area. I grew up there and drove 5 miles to high school, through sprawling neighborhoods. Retrofitting a transport system to replace the need for cars is virtually impossible.

I disagree about the lack of space. If anything, it makes more economic sense to build a wider, shorter building in the expanding suburbs and exurbs. This is why the US has so much sprawl.

I didn't even notice the text on the shirt underneath his greasy, unwashed hair.

You are missing the point of the second amendment. The second amendment isn't about making sure we get to keep firearms for the sake of having them. The purpose of the second amendment is to protect the right of a free people to protect th

I'm (un)fortunate enough to have taken the SAT long enough ago to have had analogies on it. I suffered through them, scoring disproportionately poorly on them as compared to my math score. It was frustrating since I'm a voracious reader.

For 99% of code, worrying about the number of cycles in an operation is an utter waste of time. It just doesn't matter. Correctness and readability trump machine efficiency. Do you work on real-time systems, embedded code, or something si

This explanation helps more than the link does to tell me what this application does. So, it's a photo and status slideshow mashup? Why not advertise it as such? The buddhist(?) jargon makes this extremely unapproachable to people not vers

What on earth does this have to do with technical talent? Projecting your political opinions a bit?

Your first sentence reminds me how much we are divided by a common language.

What about the statement, "I think I'll take a seat next to the beautiful lady in the room." Is it clearly not treating her the same as everyone else? Yes. But is it sexism?

That's interesting. Give some examples of Marine Corps cultural pathologies.

You're thinking about buying "big business" enterprise software like buying a cell phone or any other off-the-shelf commodity. Don't do that. It's more akin to buying a house. You've got to find one of many that satisfies your unique need

That's stupid. It doesn't look like a gun; it is styled after a gun part. That's like saying you'd confuse a car with a tire.

I'm embarrassed that my children only have TSA flights available. This is not how Americans live.

So, you're looking for someone to build you a website for a validated business model? And to the table you bring ... 2 "meh" domain names? And for this, they can get up to 50% equity? How nice that you're willing to negotiate on licensing

Curiously, where do you live? I wouldn't let my kids ride transit by themselves; that's where the crum bums go to pee. I also don't want to be against a grocery store as the noise from the large parking lot (and busy road) is annoying. Li

You've essentially modernized the old debate between free will and predestination.

As a father of two small children, I'll chime in. Your concerns are bizarre. The idea that second-graders are accessing hardcore pornography is laughable. The idea that they're buying pre-paid phones, installing TOR, and using that to acc

While every interviewer has different opinions on what should/should not be present, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not cargo culting, I'm complaining about receiving garbage. Extreme length is commonly a sign that the person is to

There's a difference between "excellent at communicating" and "obviously does not care". An excellent example of the latter is the presence of spelling errors that could have been fixed with spell-check, completely random font changes due t
