Pinwheeler··on Why we lost Uber as a user
To be fair though... It DID take a user on the scale of Uber to find and report and migrate away because of the problem.
Pinwheeler··on Russian Track and Field Team Barred from Rio Olympics
Should we then also make Adderal legal to be used at work?

AND forcing the athletes that biologically don't have to dope in order to win.
Pinwheeler··on Men in committed, romantic relationships have lower testosterone
ooh, also a possibility!
Pinwheeler··on Men in committed, romantic relationships have lower testosterone
Let's not forget: Correlation != Causation.

Does being in a relationship lower your testosterone?

Or are women(assuming the men in study were heterosexual, not sure on that, either) more interested in entering into LTRs with men with lower testosterone levels?

Edit: Also, was this controlled for age?

Pinwheeler··on How Apple Cheats
Haha, that is a good observation! Bring that up at an Apple interview!
Pinwheeler··on The Developer is Dead, Long Live the Developer
I read both articles and felt they both made good points.

It is in a company's (and the industry's) best interest to pair down well-paid developers and open up more entry-level positions, however, it's in the consumer's best interest for developers to maintain high accountability and "closeness" to the product.

I don't see these approaches as mutually exclusive I see how full stack development and silos can both exist in the same environment like if the Dentist in the counterpoint article's analogy takes over the hygienist's role when the hygienist is out on vacation.

Pinwheeler··on Source code stolen from GitHub.com
I think the satire value is somewhat diminished by the fact that private repos are possible. If github only hosted open-source projects, then it would be funnier
