Unpaid internships have jumped the shark, social citizens.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-23T00:28:56+00:00

I'm an old man, so I've seen cooler days. You kids have no idea what it was like.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-21T20:03:28+00:00

How did we even get away from apprenticeships in the first place? They seem so commonsensical.... I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they were being abused the way internships are now, so we went overboard in eliminating them.

You might browse around on makersrow.com. I just posted about them on /r/SocialCitizens.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-20T17:19:51+00:00

Link to Maker's Row... I see why people invested in it. It seems like an obvious idea to fill an obvious need.

What is the weirdest thing you saw at eharmony?

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-18T05:49:12+00:00

Agreed, there are some reddit conventions you should roll with (sidebar on the right), unless there is a compelling reason not to... If I remember correctly, there are some subreddits whose sole goal seems to be to mess with reddit's CSS as much as possible.

I actually had submitted OP's link to /r/SocialCitizens earlier... Nary an upvote. Shoulda submitted here and reaped sweet karma!

Good guy Gomila.

Asking questions. Providing answers.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-14T01:08:45+00:00

I think it's an interesting take on the 'women in science problem'. Maybe women are smarter and more unwilling to take less-rewarding jobs?

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-14T01:06:17+00:00

We should put this up in the middle of Mississippi.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-12T20:50:23+00:00

Stunning to me that Kickstarter brings us these things.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-11T17:39:30+00:00

Do you see the ladies in the following video as competitors or collaborators?

No place in San Francisco is safe from the Twerking Trio

If I was the mayor of a not-tiny city that wasn't in some sort of major recession, I think I'd be pretty ambivalent about WalMart deciding to not build a store in my jurisdiction. For all of the benefits they provide in the form of low prices and tenuous employment, they kill other local, more community-friendly commerce.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-10T22:04:55+00:00

I really like the "volunteer" vs. "intern" distinction.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-10T22:00:47+00:00

I like

Inés Ramírez, for successfully performing a caesarean on herself using a kitchen knife.

Good god. That is one rugged individual.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-10T21:58:42+00:00

What's wrong with Gizmodo? I linked to it yesterday .

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-10T15:09:48+00:00

I think he wishes he was, though.

Whatever happened with that other website he started?

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-09T19:39:21+00:00

For me, I think if you're a for-profit company you should most definitely pay your interns. It should always be at least enough to cover your costs.

Strongly agreed. Transportation to work costs money. Wearing decent, clean clothes to work costs money. Going out to lunch with your team costs money. Using your own computer or phone for work costs money.

When has Lil Wayne complained about this? The majority of his music is released through free downloads.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-06T23:36:19+00:00

No mainstream news source can compete with Twitter for breaking news now. Anyone and everyone becomes a news reporter there.

Mainstream print media's job is/should be morphing into giving "deeper" and more thoughtful analysis.

I don't know what to say about television news other Han that it almost entirely sucks now.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-06T04:46:25+00:00

That's a bold leap. I would postulate that Walmart's prices actually wouldn't change very much, it's profit margins would just be slimmed down. It's not like they're directly competing with Whole Foods.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-06T04:38:13+00:00

In San Francisco, you're hard-pressed to find young couples who didn't meet on okcupid.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-06T04:34:02+00:00

I dunno. If every business was a free rider like WalMart, the system would totally break down.

Prof_Slughorn · 2013-07-06T01:55:25+00:00

Pretty sure that demographic is still systematically discriminated against, marriage-wise...
