I know one shouldn't blame the victim, but in many cases the so-called victims of islama"phobia" weren't just innocently walking along minding their own business.... And I for one feel it is very applicable to also take a hard and critical look at the victim's actions that led to them wanting to be labeled victims.
* = I also know I shouldn't stereotype and should have probably written "some muslims". It's just so sad that the daeshbag minority is so visible and vocal, while the silent, conservative, hard-working, intelligent, empathic majority are quietly working along being productive members of the societies they find themselves in.
For us mundanes, preventing your children from accessing social media will probably make for even better outcomes.... Not sure if they could get together a statistically significant sample for that though, so its just my feeling.

I have no idea why employers think that messing with the body's natural melatonin and serotonin cycles, and the resulting impact on health, concentration, memory and just general well-being, is a good idea.
Makes me think of a previous employer that had go-lives every two weeks, which started around midnight and would need to be babysat by everyone having code going into it, often until normal employees came in the next morning.... That was after already working a full day (so those switchovers were already a bit dicey due to lack of concentration). Of course one would get the next day off, but I for one could never go to sleep during the day to catch up on that lost sleep (work quality the next couple of days was quite a joke, and not in the "haha" kind of way). I thought I was back into a normal sleep routine just in time for the next go-live to hit... until I resigned, and had a much more normal (8-5ish) routine, and still had sleeping problems months later.
Because it's not feats that are the important thing in caliphates. It is feet. Of the faithful. Of which there soon will be sufficient in Europe to beat it at its own game: democracy. Then feats will be relegated to history. Except the feats of the nether regions.
Cause hate against non millitant/radical Muslims in that country.
And not only muslims: all religiosity becomes now tainted.
Profit!
Also refer to Hegel's philosophy (Thesis+Anithesis->Synthesis, thus set up Thesis and Anithesis in such a way that the Synthesis end up where you want it), as well as Marx's expansion on that idea (the constant struggle towards some Synthesis is the goal, not the Synthesis itself).
I suspect that there is more behind this than what is reported in the media, i.e. the promoting of new Theses and Anitheses so as to change a lot of things about the (political, economic, cultural) order we are accustomed to now - and not necessarily in a good way.
The CO2 emissions can affect the way the car is taxed/licensed.
True, but since CO2 basically is the product of complete combustion, CO2 emissions then would correlate directly with mileage. The more fuel economic, the lower the CO2 emissions. Or am I mistaken?
....where the employee agrees to 'make myself reasonably available'
Unfortunately sir, between me working a current job and being in a fairly demanding phase of the project, having family responsibilities, requiring a few hours of restful sleep per night, and your operation being "offshore", no, your request to make myself available to you is not reasonable.
From the summary (and article, somewhat paraphrased):
"who live roughly the same lifestyle humans did in the Paleolithic,"
So, if we knew, without room for arguing, how people "lived in the Paleolithic" - even if approximate - why is it then even necessary to study other contemporary groups to see how people lived in the Paleo?
The problem is that if you want to tell a modern industrialized Westerner that they should "do X like group Y" (where X may be eating, sleeping, exercising, socializing or whatever other activity, and Y may be any group from our own time or the past), then it doesn't really makes much sense unless those westerners also adopt the exact same lifestyle, locale, and probably even genetic makeup. (Which may not all be bad, by the way - except for the gene part, that would be a bit extreme and counter-productive for my tastes.) But that's just my oh-so-humble opinion.

3. PROFIT!!!
Agreed, in some locales there are less individuals per capita who feel a living may be made this way, and so the inhabitants of such an area may be more inclined to ask "why?" Having already been on the receiving (or is that "giving"??) end of some of said individuals, I prefer, and do what I can, not to reprise that.
If one has read the first sentence of the article (I know, I know....) it basically motivates why you should not store your old boarding passes or simply dump them in the trash, but shred them (or otherwise destroy them).
The issue is not that there is readable information on it, but that you should ensure that it is not readable for other people that have no business reading it.
[Decimation] was a tactic used by the Roman military commanders. If the soldiers grossly underperformed, the commander would line them all up and order that every tenth man be beaten to death by the nine men around him. The Romans didn't fuck around.
I'm fairly undecided about the "more women as coders" issue. But you know what I am hugely passionate about?
It's also an area where, despite being toted as "no barriers to entry", there is huge underrepresentation, societal pressures, and quite frankly a HUGE need for different perspectives brought on by diversity.
What I'm talking about is the huge underrepresentation of coders dating supermodels. Yes, male coders. Overweight coders. With neckbeards. Living in mom's basement. And not being super rich.
So please help me to start my campaign to get more supermodels to date coders. The details of my crowdsourcing page will follow shortly.
And one needs to read the essay, to realize WHY Brooks said what he said.
His problem was not with technology or architecture, but with project management. The bigger the team, the more potential paths of communication between individual members, the better the project management needs to be to minimize communication down to the necessary minimum.
If there is one BS that needs to be called, it is the one on the "collaborative open plan office". Which would be slightly off-topic, and all but beaten to death.
If the black cabs have a legal monopoly...then what uber drivers are doing, by not being licensed black-cab operators, is against the law.
If my understanding is correct, the well-known "black cabs" do NOT have a monopoly. Their drivers DO undergo very strict training though, and earn some shield or such, and charge a premium. BUT e.g. flying in to LHR, you can also pre-book a "mini-cab" which is cheaper, and of which the driver has less training. E.g., the black cab probably has most streets in London memorized and could potentially get you there via the shortest route, while the mini-cab might need to look it up on a map or GPS.

Moscow says they have targeted only "terrorists", but activists say its strikes have mainly hit Western-backed rebel groups.
I thought the whole Syrian spring thing was about (some) western countries (their governments, at least) backing Daesh against Assad????

Also, when you do the test, a score of 0-29 is labeled with No autism, 30 - 33 = Possible autism, 34 & up = Autism likely.
It seems the scores of around 22 for men and 19 for women are much ado about nothing. Both those still fall squarely in the "No autism" range.
I think it may be important to draw attention to the first paragraph in the article (yeah right, who reads it anyway?):
Autistic traits are not the same as having a diagnosis of autism
As well as:
It is important to underline that it is not diagnostic. A high score alone is not a reason to seek help.
