Right. But for a dashboard (what I use it for) that will rarely be closed or refreshed, the size is unimportant.

The bigger issue is would he have been extradited to the US to face draconian charges for whistleblowing.
Perhaps they already knew about the location, but were looking for some appropriate cover to protect an asset. Further, the US military may wish to make ISIS fearful of using social media, which has been a powerful tool for them.

I'll stop my one-man boycott when they end the "love" campaign. It's quite disturbing that they're trying to substitute a cheap hamburger for love. It's a microcosm of what's wrong with this culture.

What did you realize?
I'd be okay if it just said "usability testing". In my company that's just a part of the testing phase. But no way I'm just going to grab someone walking down the hall. I assume people are busy enough.
And get rid of hallway usability tests.

I don't think you'd even get published for presenting any result that runs counter to the feminist orthodoxy in academia. Or that any career-minded researcher would ever take the risk of being labeled as misogynist.

With that said, the result itself is interesting enough. We know intuitively that women tend to make consensus decisions, and men are more individualist. That consensus building leads to measurable results in the quality of group decisions is very interesting. I wonder how those results would hold in nonWestern cultures, where men are group-oriented already.

Keep in mind that there is a slight bit of bias built in to the study. It provides evidence women are more adept at making group decisions (confirming our intuition), but would leave us to assume that a good group decision is the best decision. What about the decision of a single leader (where we'd expect men to have an advantage)? So an interesting follow-up to this study might be to compare the quality of group versus individual decisions.

Shouldn't the market sort this out in the long run? That is, I would expect to see company buyouts and mergers that would reduce the levels of overhead and redundancy.

Without a doubt extreme unemployment and poverty contributes to radical and criminal behavior. But saying that patriarch dominance and lack of democratic tradition leads to terrorism...where is this coming from? So by your logic, democratic countries are free of terrorism and non-democratic countries are riddled with it. Of course we can shoot all kinds of holes in that notion through counter-example. And blaming terrorism on patriarchy? Most societies in history, even traditional European society, were patriarchal. To say they cause terrorism (with zero elaboration) just waters down your otherwise insightful comment by exposing your strong Western liberal/feminist bias.

Well then you're omitting the group that transitioned from productive to dependent from old age. If the other numbers are any clue, then it is over a million.

Instead we should give them boring tedious problems in a code base with no documentation and an incomplete buggy spec, and grade their solution in a couple weeks?
I googled the location, expecting it to be in the far north of Alaska, given the description. But it's just southeast of Anchorage. Is the weather really that much worse?

I think the point was "keeping up with the latest trends".

I work in C++Builder 6 still (small company). I'm trying to get things ported to Qt.
