For those who want to get rid of facebook addiction without losing facebook account: just unfollow everybody in your "news feed". It is not visible to anybody, you're still friends, but stuff just stops appearing on your fb page. In a couple of weeks you'll end up with empty page, and facebook will disappear from your life, because there's nothing to see there anymore.

> Of course that made them, for that time, unusable! So he had to toss them.

Honest question: your mother didn't bother to work anywhere, why couldn't she help him?

And I like this "he had to toss them", as they lived apart, and it wasn't a family's loss.

So here's the rules of this brave new world: beyond your house you're a sexless, emotionless creature without family, life outside the office, without sense of humour, without personal interests and preferences.

Be like this, and you'll get free meals, free shuttle bus and goats at company campus. And it's good for your resumé.

Which image are you talking about? It's a cage without natural light, I don't understand how a glass door makes it better. Actually it's even worse, because it's a depressive as a cubicle, but without "privacy".

> Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one?

Sorry, image urls buried deep inside, I had to use dev tools to extract them.

> Or do you promote open work plans in your day job?

Promoting a weird idea that every human being (even if he/she is a developer) deserves a window, fresh air and natural light, is my little personal war.

And there's no "open space" vs "gray cages" dichotomy. Our team works in a quiet room with big windows, for example.

Guess how individual workspaces will look like. I bet it will be old good terrible gray 6x6 cubicles.

How to be "proactive" with widely accepted discriminatory practices and affirmative action?

D3.js is quite low-level library, it's basically a wrapper around SVG with some sugar like animations and enter/exit/update.

> Is the most apparent benefit less lines of code?

Yes! With "reusable components" you don't need to write (or copypaste) a line chart over and over.

From their demos:

    brushChart
        .width(containerWidth)
        .height(300)
        .onBrush(function(brushExtent) {
        // Do something with the brushExtent
        });

    brushContainer.datum(dataset).call(brushChart);

Nobody needs a "code school" to learn how to write code.

Legal landscape in the US is just bad. Sue-happy country with convoluted taxes, horribly slow customs with crazy policies ("General Order warehouse", fml), 50 different states with different laws, taxes and regulations.

Visit the nearest store, you'll see dozens of kits and couple of yellow "Lego Classic" boxes, somewhere on bottom (cheapest) shelves.

We have ~20 kits at home (gifts, impulsive purchases, etc), it looks like pile of assorted, useless, weird blocks, non-matching wheels. My son started play Lego after I bit the bullet and just sorted out that crap, leaving only 5-10 standard blocks.

Nice summary, but be careful with FB ads. It can easily suck tons of money for literally nothing. Even if you pay per click, you get clicks from absolutely irrelevant people (bots?), with zero engagement.

> Because not everywhere is NYC.

Do I really need to attach links to rooms in all major cities in the world?

But I got the idea: airbnb may be better for longer trips.

Do they really need to combat airbnb? I travel a lot (relatively), but I can't get the idea of this service. It's a bit cheaper, but a) I can't cancel it b) I can't book it without interaction with a host c) I can't move in without interaction with a host d) it ends up even more expensive after cleaning/service/whatever fees.

I've just checked [1]: NYC, a shitty "private" room with shared bathroom for a weekday is $150, with crazy "strict" cancelation policy, that literally says "Cancel up to 7 days before your trip and get a 50% refund plus service fees back."

What's the point and why is airbnb still alive?
