Paly High is a public school. To have girls-only classes like this is a horrible act of discrimination. The public school system should be ashamed of its bigotry.
I hate pirates. Everyone who works for a living should now celebrate the end of a sleezy website that stole from the working man and woman. Hip hhip hooray!
Sorry dood. You're the one with no moral ground. If you don't like a product, don't consume it. If you like it, decide whether you want to pay for it. If it's too expensive, move on. That's how life works. It's disgusting to watch thieves like you rationalize robbing artists.
How do you think you're going to save for old age? You're going to buy shares in some venture and seek rent. Rent seeking is a fundamental part of savings and society can't plan for the future without it. Or maybe you just had the old, the infirm and the ones who want to save to start a business, send their kid to college or go on a nice vacation. They're all rent seekers, each and every one.
Yes you are. You're putting the weight of development on the shoulders of the suckers who pay. You're stealing from them. You're denying them the chance to pay their fair share of the development costs.
Nah. I say "lock him up." He's scum. He's destroying the web. Because of jerks like him, the movie makers are demanding all kinds of spying privileges. If you can't be honest and respect other humans, to jail I say.
Sure. And that mugger who never pulls the trigger? He's not a danger. Leave him out.
Or the bankster who defrauds people? He's just greedy, not dangerous. Let him free too.
What a fool.
I hate to say that I agree. I'm reminded of one trip to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. There was a team of about seven curators there to put three items in a display case. They all seemed to be attentive but it was work that could be done by one person. I think there's a ton of featherbedding around the place.
I bet they could have just put the suit in a dry box and that would have been enough. I doubt there's anything they can do to keep the rubber soft enough. But they've figured out how to tug at our heart strings.
But hey, look at the bright side. Maybe the low-income girls will accept a low enough pay that they'll be able to undercut the H1Bs brought in by Silicon Valley. Go America!
Okay, the kids won't be killed, but only those that jump through the hoops of the all powerful Google will be given the prizes. I thought the miracle of the Internet that everyone could enjoy the fun. But somehow GOOG is turning it into a brutal, knock-down, no-holds-barred competition.
You're a jerk.
How would you like someone to come into your place of work and take 20,30, 50, or even 90% of your revenue. Then for grins, they would accuse you of trying to monopolize your own work. Yeah. That's the ticket. That guy wouldn't let us steal his car so we're going to call him a monopolist. And that girl? She's trying to monopolize her body parts by not letting us have sex with her.
Big deal. Everyone does it. You can bet that Google is out there arguing that all of the content should be free so they can sell more ads alongside it. And you can bet that the unions are looking for political influence to protect their hard work too. It's called living in a democracy.
I see plenty of racial diversity. There are folks from India, China, Korea, Japan and many of the islands in the south Pacific where I work. And if you look closely at the so-called "white" folk, many come from all across Europe and Arabia. Are they represented equally? No. If anything, "white" people are underrepresented compared to their percentage of the population.
It's a mistake to talk about "racial diversity" when that's not really the problem. It just distracts us by framing it as a problem of white people discriminating against non-whites.
After a few attempts that made it through the gauntlet, it quickly became a fool's errand. Why should anyone risk months of work only to watch some nameless, faceless drone at Apple issue a thumbs down rejection? At least in Roman times, the Emperor was brave enough to show his face when issuing the thumbsdown.
What a wretched market. It's impossible to do anything except sell stupid games. (And I say that as someone who likes stupid games.)
Then they have the gall to take 30% for doing next to nothing. Seriously. It's just a db insert and some FTP.
They rape our privacy for their profit. Now they both happen to be extremely useful and this is their real gift.
I'm not sure what the point here is, except that there's a fine line between malware and a $100b company.
Alas, it's the advisor's responsibility to get jobs for his/her students. If this PhD doesn't have a job, the advisor is either incompetent or doesn't like the student. Or both.
Dream on. There are some who were in industry, but every single one of them chose grad school over working in industry. The PhD sends the signal, "I don't like industry. I want to write papers." So why hire a guy like that?

Exactly. Not everything is free.

Exactly. The EFF's only job is to apologize for Google and make piracy seem legit. They're just piracy apologists.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. But the percentage of discussion of apps was pretty low. Not zero. But low.
What about the other 49%? Are they real aliens? Or just NSA? Or some other TLA?
I've been waiting to find out about this one. Waiting a long time.

If someone complains you don't hire enough people in group X because you can't find many techies in group X, you now add another pool of talent.

Seems like it's not meant to supplant but to live alongside it.
