Sorry, but $50k/day compensates completely for any potential resentment. Especially coming from the real world, where stalkers and people showing up at your door and getting hold of your phone number because of a service or product you

I have toiled for projects for many years which raked in far less than that annually. I have seen people toil for many years for absolutely no return. In both instances, subjected to "the internet is mean" behavior. I will trade y

I had a debate with someone over the existence of Santa Clause, but it was difficult, because the toddler was munching on crayons at the time.

Slashdot stopped working well before Malda left. More ads, desiring to become an Engadget style site filled with videos (almost all seeming like paid segments by the interviewee), and native advertising. I suspect his influence waned greatl

Another skeezy blog promotion about ephemeral feel-good motivational concepts with nothing real to contribute that ends with "NOW SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER AND SUPPORT MY ONLINE BUSINESS AND BUY MY EBOOK!". Why am I on the compute

My aunt did this, too. Not a stupid person, either. A doctor. She believed that the indian on the phone was from Microsoft and somehow detected that her computer (and every other computer in the house, including the 27" iMac I bought m

Twenty-one years after the first allegations that Woody Allen abused his adopted daughter, that incident is back in the news thanks to the director’s ex-partner, Mia Farrow, and estranged son, Ronan Farrow. But what does a closer examinatio

All you need to know about those performing the TSA roles can be learned from one trip through a security line, where some fat obnoxious woman screams at paying customers and american citizens like they're children and berate and segre

She's one. Buy her some Tinker Toys and finger paints. Read every night to her, until she starts picking up books and reading on her own (it happened for me by about the age of three, simply from reading with my mom every night). FFS,

Most things are dirt cheap to run. People just choose not to do so. There have been countless services and websites over the last decade that somehow get or require massive infusions of money. Tens of millions of dollars, even. It blows m

I have a very obese male friend who discussed his situation on the internet and had a flood of hateful messages (and mild real life stalking) to the point that he almost had a nervous breakdown. I couldn't count how many times "ju

Isn't the whole benefit of the internet that you don't know anything about the other people and can thereby consider them on the merits of their words and actions? I'm not pre-judged by being white or male or fat (and therefo

Gender discussions seem to arise on here (and almost every other geek/tech/whatever related group) between about one and three times per day. I'm pretty sure we have shared very similar discussions to the topic of this thread

If anything, I would find myself more concerned about all the overly sensitive fellow males swarming me for something they perceive to take offense to on behalf of someone or a group entirely unrelated to them than I am potentially upsett

I suspect that far more of us would take: 5) I don't really care what your gender is (unless it is particularly germane to the topic of discussion) and I don't take it into account with regard to the content of my posts or respons

I'm in my late 30s in the US. I get the maximum vacation time our company allows (after about eight years, you get something like 21 days per year). I currently have the maximum banked amount allowed (two years or 42+ days worth). My v

When I was young, I was a dedicated athlete. To the point that I missed weeks of school every year to travel and compete in the championships. I would spend all of my down-time (including between matches) with index cards and graph-paper, d

An extra $100k in annual income could make the difference from maybe never retiring and having enough additional income to invest in a quality retirement where you and your family don't have to spend the final 10-30 years of your life

If we keep the guy making $30k outraged at his neighbor earning $150k and we keep the guy making $150k angry at the hippy kids and then we wrap it all up in My-Team vs Your-Team two-party politics, we can keep the masses occupied and distra

I spent almost all of my waking time, every day, on the computer. The way I avoid wasting hours on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, HN, etc is that I don't use the first two, I don't randomly wander on the third one, and I use RSS and

It has been a casual term of friendship and acknowledgement between guys for even longer than it has been a douche-bag-frat-boy-sleazy-programmer reference, however. There's not really any need to associate every occurrence of the word
