I didn't live in a house with books, but my mother took me and my sisters to the library very often when we were kids. For me personally, I believe that access to books gave me much of my motivation to learn, particularly with regards

Intel is doing a lot of layoffs. I'm sure many of them will be in the US, of American workers in high-tech. Granted, they're not as cheap as H1B workers, but still...

I didn't get that from the article. The author's friend was 31 when she joined the company, not much older than her 28 year old manager. To me it illustrates the churn at the company. The 28-year old manager will probably be fired

Property investors aren't the ones building properties. It's the property developers. I read this in an article explaining Miami's development boom, in spite of the possibility that rising sea levels could inundate much of th

The major examples the article raises at the start are all major race outrages that quickly fizzled out. Moral outrage is not a sustainable foundation on which to build a movement to the left.

It's simply that old non sequitur: it's 2016 and you shouldn't do X anymore. That's really their main argument. Stop using a 200 year old technology, even if it still works fine.

I can definitely appreciate #3, having faced many incredulous questions when I refuse drinks at social events, but I think most of the author's claims are greatly exaggerated. Your mileage may vary.

Why would they surround themselves with such people? They're already wealthy, they have nothing to gain by talking to someone who will attack their character.

Unquestionably, threats should absolutely be forbidden, and they are. Threatening another person is already a federal crime and anyone receiving threats online should report it to law enforcement so the person making those threats can be de

They criticized Nathan Grayson of Kotaku for supposedly having relationships with people GamerGate didn't like and writing about them without disclosing said relationships. Depending on the site you read, it's either a violation o

It's what one of the comments they quoted at the end said. Terrible, terrible attempt at satire, and he should be mocked for it. But come on, no one is actually for legalizing rape.

Why will companies pay more when the labor supply will increase? The same company that was hiring foreign workers to save a buck won't pay extra to retain that worker. That company will now hire other entry level foreign workers who th

The article does ask this: "Why not faster? Why not slower?" Certainly a lot of physicists are content with leaving it at "because it is." They're not searching for purpose, they're searching for explanation. T
