Oh I love it when college kids try to tell me how business works. Even more hilarious when said students decide that they've come up with some easy plan to do what hundred million dollar industries of very bright people were just too darn stupid to figure out on their own.

I'm sure you'll have a great time hiring top-level talent by giving them the promise of living in Idaho.

Bullshit. The only times there is outcry is when it's written in a tone-deaf way by an oblivious author. There are plenty of flawed minority characters on TV. Harold and Kumar were fucking potheads. Hillary Banks was vain. Carlton was a dweeb. Samuel L. Jackson is the stereotype of an Angry Black Man.

"I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of what women sociologists do gets side-lined as "Women's Studies" instead of sociology, just because the contents are about women."

"it's the nature of competition."

When you put WHO in all caps my first reaction was "Huh? Why is the World Health Organization facebook stalking people?"

I might have misstated. I meant that we had a lot of servants' kids around because my mother got bored and decided to tutor them all. But they're mostly live-in servants who do household chores. Your typical middle class family will have, at minimum, a maid. They'll probably also have an errand boy and a driver.…

Hired help is fairly common. My mom used to take their kids (and the children from the neighbors') and try to teach them how to read and basic math and such since their parents couldn't send them to school.

All this time I thought I had gone through high school as a virgin. Turns out I was a wanton man-whore all along!

That's also possible. We did end up living in one of those big exurbs where you need a car to get anywhere and you're at least an acre away from your nearest neighbor. It pretty much kills any sense of community you might have.

Interesting. Do you think that type of upbringing drove the anxiety or was it the abrupt transition from one to the other?

Having grown up in India until I was 6 I think it's interesting how different dynamics are between children here.

Right. They had an r^2 of about .4 (I won't even get into that one yet) and stopped the study a little under 14 months in. They found 20 infections in the treatment group and about 80 in the control group. At no point did anyone consider that administering a procedure that wounds a man's penis might just reduce the…

"there is a positive health benefit of circumcision to the person attached to the penis"

XFinity piggybacks on your Comcast account. You can have XFinity access to Comedy Central but not Starz, for instance and it won't tell you that you need a Starz subscription until after you click on the result.

Remember how everyone assumes that Chris Christie will need gastric bypass if he ever plans on running for President? Or how Mike Huccabee actually had to have it done before he tried running?

Nope. Still shitty UX design. Firstly, I need to use that god-awful keyboard interface they have on all their apps. Then, the Bing toolbar returns a slew of results with no organization or heirarchy so you can't intuit what it's pointing to. Plus it doesn't actually tell you if it's available. It might pop up a…

I actually agree it would be a good thing. I would really love to have more games that I could beat in a few afternoons but play again and again. We don't have enough of those. But the gaming public at large, unfortunately, seems to love the idea of HUGE games that go on for 60 hours. I think many studios would be…

It's shitty interface design is what's wrong with it. He's pointing out examples of all the ways MS is dropping the ball. Even Android manages to get out of your way and let you do your thing without assaulting you with a barrage of dialog boxes and prompts better than this.

I'm pretty disillusioned with cord cutting largely due to my experience with the XBox. Having content scattered around a whole bunch of apps with no logic or predictability as to what is where or what I can expect to have has gotten profoundly annoying. To get anywhere near equivalent levels of content you need to…
