Woman in tech here. I almost skipped reading the post because I instinctively thought "bro pages", like man pages but for bros. There are lots of bad ideas out there, shame this is a great idea with a name that inadvertantly sabotages it.

They're cancelling four of seven sections, not lectures, due to lack of demand.

All the lectures are still there.

Would be nice if you could select your vehicle and it'd auto select a likely size

This is like saying, I'm an employer and I want you to expose your fb profile to me so I can see the answers to all the questions it is illegal for me to ask you in your interview.

I wish I could upvote this twice.

There's lots of good stuff here: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/definitive-guide-to-the-prima...

You can also type 'movie showtimes' into google and there is a nice interface with maps which shows movies and which theatres they're playing at.

NASA just needs a bigger budget... http://gizmodo.com/5813257/air-conditioning-our-military-cos...

I sometimes feel like I have the opposite problem. I can come up with the algorithm which requires an understanding of why it works on the problem, but then I lose my train of thought while coding it (albeit this is happening in stressful interview write-on-the-whiteboard-while-I-judge-you situations).

Even if you don't save it explicitly, I find my browser cache is full of facebook photos when I go to clear it, so can retrieve it through there after the fact as well.

I didn't see that article cite the researchers, but it's probably this group: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM.

Pretty interesting talk about the rise of high fructose corn syrup.

Along the same lines, lots of companies make sunscreen in 10x ml quantities for the associated benefits. When the agent wanted to take away my 106 ml bottle, I asked if I could squeeze 6 ml out and take it on. No dice.

That's insane. I concede my post, your story is on a whole nother incompetence level.

I think we need a stufftheTSAconfiscated.tumblr.com.

I went through for a job interview and I had a cast on and a blow dryer and flat iron in my luggage. They swabbed my cast, and took the items and made me wait while they checked them out. I bet someone walked away that day with perfectly styled hair.

It felt wrong just loading the page.

Even if that's true, the food industry does all kinds of lobbying and has ties with agricultural companies and has instilled upon us this conventional wisdom that whole grains are great for you and calories in = calories out with no distinction between types of calories.

Yeah, so two wrongs don't make a right, but I think he's justified that he feels like making extreme conclusions will make people question the conventional wisdom that has been steering us in the opposite (and in my opinion, wrong) direction.

A lot of that research starts both sets of mice on high carb diets, then draws the wrong conclusions about how the little fat they received affected the groups.

It's ridiculous to claim that you can eat as much X as you desire and not gain weight, for most X except maybe celery.

The point is that protein and fat satisfy hunger in a way that our bodies have evolved to process. And the fact is, after eating a bit of protein and fat, you won't DESIRE to eat any more.

Seriously, read this book, it will change your life. http://www.amazon.ca/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307272702

This is offensive, I will just have to stick with my computer engineer barbie instead: http://gizmodo.com/5470587/computer-engineer-barbie-has-a-ph...

Because there aren't enough females in the field?

The guidelines are suggestions. Not hard rules. But it's your prerogative.

Why is it inappropriate?

We're wired to be attracted to certain attributes for certain evolutionary purposes...

Someday services will be offered in Canada too.
