This author seems to be a moron. I suggest that Facebook hires an independent investigator, if this is truly a thorn in their side worth removing. (It's probably not). I wish "news" outlets such as The Verge would not be so quick to speculate...perhaps they're just pushing their biased point of view with no consideration for anything else?

The odds are that Facebook's men are working longer hours and taking less time off than their female coworkers. Even in the same position with the same experience and credentials, the person who spent more time on a task is more likely to put out code which will pass review on the first try.

These are the same, completely explainable and rational reasons we have the gender earnings gap. (Note: I did not say "wage gap")

Can't both arguments have merit, simultaneously?
What is the metric for whether a proposed gun control measure is "reasonable"? That is a highly subjective term.

Furthermore, what is the standard rate for this type of advertisement? Is $150k USD the going rate for 3x 10-second ads for an event of this nature, or is the price here being inflated simply due the diametric natures of Everytown and the NRA?

I do like how Mic (who originally received the emails regarding this story) fails to address these questions entirely. Mic is garbage, as is TheNextWeb for running a [basically paraphrased, rehashed] story without asking pertinent questions.

"Consumption" is more of an economic and marketing term than a technical term. No one is suggesting that we're eating & digesting digital media, naturally. Consumers provide demand. Suppliers provide supply.

As for your question, Shakespeare obviously receives credit for the basis for interpretation of his works (and effectively modernizing and proliferating the English language more widely -- a totally separate discussion). Had he popularized his works in the age of copyright, TV & film, he would probably be an extremely wealthy man. He would likely also have been involved in numerous lawsuits to protect his intellectual property, should he have the desire to control its usage.

They come in two-packs because one autoinjector may fail...at which point, you're fucked. It's not necessarily for a separate individual to use simultaneously, or at a later time. There is also a chance that you can receive instruction (from an EMT / emergency dispatcher / physician, as examples) to provide a second dose of epinephrine to the patient if the first wears off -- 15 minutes may not be enough relief from anaphylaxis for medical professionals to arrive, especially in more remote locations.

The official Adrenaclick website does not indicate. The EpiPens I already have showed a 1-year shelf life, for that particular production run / lot #, at least. I'm assuming (possibly wrongly) that there is a similar shelf life between EpiPen and other adrenaline autoinjectors.

Because you need to have two with you at any given time. Keep a 2-pack in the house, keep a 2-pack in your briefcase, or diaper bag, or whatever you take around with you (or whatever goes with your children, as applicable).

If the shelf life is >1 year, I simply missed that part. It does not state on the official website, so I'm going off the directions on my child's EpiPen Jr. The drug is the same, but the solution & structure of the autoinjector may give it significantly different shelf life.

I get that it is relatively inexpensive when compared to the EpiPen...but is a $110 medication with a 1-year shelf life "super cheap"? That's at least $220 per year -- because you always need a backup, should the first potentially life-saving drug fail.

I wouldn't put it past them.

Here are 3 quick demonstrations. They're literally all as easy as the next: unsheath the autoinjector, remove safety caps, depress the needle into the thigh for ~5-10 seconds, then call 911.

That is quite clear.

If I was the Executive with the power to pardon these individuals, it more than likely wouldn't happen. I would need highly compelling reasons to pardon, or even commute sentences. As such, I would disagree with any sitting President doing the same, whether it is Obama or someone after him -- not without very significant explanation, at least.

YMMV.

I can understand that POV, even if I don't agree with it.

The problem inside the military with those instances & "PR disasters" (My Lai, Abu Ghraib, etc.) was a lack of leadership. When leadership is strong and effective throughout the chain of command, these things simply don't happen.

A pardon totally absolves the offender of any responsibility. That's precisely why it shouldn't be used in Manning's case. He made a decision which said "I know the consequences of what I'm about to do, and I am choosing to go through with it despite the ramifications."

Commutation of sentences is a possibility, which sends a very different message. The debt is seen as having been paid, rather than being treated like it never really existed (despite loss of actual time served, etc., which is an inevitable outcome of any court proceedings & sentencing).

Manning served in the US Army, during which time he violated not only regular US law but military law as well. Regardless of the specific information released or his intentions, he didn't go about it the right way. He was briefed on the consequences; he knew what he'd be getting himself into.

Pardoning him at this point sends a message to others, indicating their punishment won't be as strict so long as they "had good intentions". Integrity means making the tough choices especially when the consequences are most dire.

Indeed. I find the trend similar to the differences between driving an automatic versus manual gearbox vehicle. In my old '66 pickup, when I still had it, I needed to stay engaged at all times in order to drive safely. With my modern truck, I find myself becoming distracted more easily, because it requires fewer variable inputs. Granted, I'm still a more cognizant and capable driver than 99% of the motorists in my area, but I recognize that difference in attentiveness and behavior.

Cheers.
