  2. Re:Dice = Contract Jobs on Hunting For a Tech Job In 2015 · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://careers.stackoverflow.c... I found my current job there and it's the only place we advertise

  3. Re:The good outweights the bad on The World Is Not Falling Apart · · Score: 1

    This question (as yet unanswered) raises pretty much the same concern about economic inequality:
    http://skeptics.stackexchange....

    "Is racial income inequality currently in US worse than it was in Apartheid South Africa?"

    Jon Stewart started this, of course, but he's better at raising interesting questions than he is at applying hard journalism to them.

  4. Yoleo Reader works for me on Slashdot Asks: How Will You Replace Google Reader? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've been using http://yoleoreader.com/ for the last few days and it works well for me. It even pulled the existing feeds directly from Google since I signed on with Google Account.

  5. Re:Dockable! Dockable! Dockable! on Dell Designing Developer Oriented Laptop · · Score: 1

    Wish I could mod you up for this. I've been trying Ubuntu on Dell laptop for development and this was the biggest roadblock I ran into.

  6. On a plane...On the way to do a demo... on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 1

    On a plane on the way to do a not-working-yet demo. Best code? No. Fast code? Very.

  8. Not placebo on Half of American Doctors Often Prescribe Placebos · · Score: 4, Informative

    As the article points out, prescribing e.g. antibiotics is not truly placebo (something totally inert). Rather, they are looking for the placebo effect by prescribing something that's a real drug but not expected to help with the ailment in question.

  12. Re:It Still Takes a Village...40 years in progress on Are Kids Turning Your Kids Into Killers? · · Score: 1

    I think your (well-worded) post could be summarized in a few words: We're reaping the results of the last 30-40 years, and there are no quick fixes.

    The attitudes of the last generation are being played out in how they (don't) raise their children.

    We all try to pretend that our culture of divorce and the insecure childhoods that result from it don't really have long term impact. But, we turn on the TV and see the consequences of the lies we tell ourselves about committment, responsibility and morality.
