The average person just doesn't care, and anyone who tries to tell them otherwise is labelled a conspiracy nut and ignored. The only response they give to finding out that the government knows their exact gps location 24 hours a day and can listen to any and all of their communications is "So what?" Companies like Foursquare exist because people not only don't care about issues like this, but are actively trying to help them.

Is there a point to this article? I agree that women often get the short end of the stick in the valley (and I personally despise the brogrammer culture that has sprung up), but simply complaining about problems like this won't do anything to make them go away.

Why are they still using the FIFO policy when their own data shows that S4LRU beats it in every area? Is it just easier to implement?

I assume (hope) it would be more like Blizzard's system for Starcraft, which only lets you see the real names of friends that you add using an email address (and if they accept). Showing a person's real name to everyone in game just sounds insane.

I agree. The fact that Youtube is too slow right now for me to even watch the video is just the icing on the cake...
