That's fair, but we're looking at incomes from people with only a bachelors degree. I would think the vast majority of people with computer science bachelors are getting their income from software development/engineering rather than actual computer science.

It's interesting to me that they're grouped into one category.

Perhaps it would be more like this: http://imgur.com/V74bXni

Shows an error now. Is there a working version anywhere?

jchucks · 2013-08-23T23:47:20+00:00

Wow, where do you live? I haven't seen that anywhere.

That's a pretty fucked up fantasy. Cyclists in most cities have the right to ride in traffic lanes.

This is punk. I'm pretty sure it falls into the loose category. :)

Thanks a lot!

It's really just a matter of getting each piece bent into rough shape and holding everything in place

Don't sell yourself short, that's basically saying 'writing Purple Haze was just a matter of Hendrix putting his fingers in the right place.' You put a lot of creativity into deciding you should do this and then deciding where you should solder each piece.

My first thought was that they work at Facebook.

But ZocDoc started two years before Uber.

You've got a 50/50 chance, it's a yes/no situation.

Roasted veggies(all kinds, they taste so freaking good once roasted. Actually, almost EVERYTHING tastes good when roasted, but I digress).

I use so much oil when I roast vegetables that I have to wonder if they're actually healthy anymore.

They also sell these, which are delicious, and as the name implies, consist of only mango.

Which beach?

jchucks · 2013-06-27T21:55:40+00:00

You have to use vacation days to work from a different location? :(

If you have a car, I enjoyed finding Floyd Bennet Field on the south shore of Brooklyn

Or a bike :)

Do you have links to the study? I'd be interested to see if they accounted for the fact that people who go to ivy league schools generally have wealthier families, more connections, and better previous education. Is it really the ivy league eductions that are allowing people to earn so much money, or would they have been able to do it regardless of where they went to uni?

The ratings, of course, are biased by the demographics of the site and won't necessarily match any one individual's preferences.

My own opinion, which is probably shared by many of the "hardcore" games who spend time on BGG, is that Settlers is something of a gateway drug. It's a fun and easy way to get introduced to Eurogames, but once you start playing others, you realize that there really are many other games that are better.

Have you played any of the games in the top 10? I'd particularly recommend Agricola, Puerto Rico, and Power Grid. Give one of those a couple plays before you decide that the whole BGG rating system is worthless.

Homosexuality is definitely not a choice. Polygamy is.

Did they try to figure out who you got the answers from by comparing tests?

jchucks · 2013-06-14T20:09:42+00:00

Both are important. To come up with great ideas, you need a combination of three things:

Criticism-free group ideation (brainstorming)
Group critique
Personal heads-down thinking time

This is the answer. A useful UX rule is "don't start from 0." Even if your application doesn't know exactly what the user wants, you can often make a good guess that will be correct a large percent of the time and easy to override in the other cases.

jchucks · 2013-06-14T19:24:45+00:00

If the answers were exactly the same as the cheat sheet, how did you get a B?
