There's no such thing as a 0% loan. That just means the interest is built into the price. Anyway, if you have poor credit and need a car, I don't think there is anything wrong with paying 10% interest... but please don't buy

I earnestly cannot tell if this is a joke or not. I see no reason someone with excellent credit would get such bad terms.

Anything 'lifetime' would have to be re-thought. Warranties. Sentences. Appointments.

I don't think anyone really knows what or how people's thoughts would change if they were to live to a thousand years (or a million, whatever). Given that, I think there are probably different feelings which we all call bored. The

I don't think so... The ruling is that the relationship as it is in employment. The test is: A) the worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contr

In terms of legality I agree with the judge. In practical terms, this is trivial for uber to dodge. All they need to do is transform from a company offering rides, to a company connecting riders to drivers. It sounds like a big difference b

Uber is in a legal grey area. They are independent contractors in the sense that they can choose how much and when to work. They are employees in that they cannot negotiate rates. I don't think it's so clear cut.

It's so odd... Like what constitutes a similarity? Do people not change their signature between 12 and 50?

I've done my share of interviews, and I don't believe there is one. Yes, 80% of the recent grads we interview are unhirable. By unhirable I mean can't answer things like: -how to reverse a string -how to remove an element fro

Because the job requires a master's degree. Or alternatively, why hire a local when you can get someone with a master's degree for the same price?

That's true, but wouldn't make for an interesting blog post. Yes, I'm sure the author could go register random_boy_8786@hotmail.com, but it's really a post about incorrect assumptions. This blog should really be understo

Why did Facebook ever dare to enter the world of fact checking. It's not feasible for Facebook to be the arbtiter of all truth. It's like Facebook cannot decide if it's a news organization or a tool for posting baby photos.

Content is always available. People pay for courses for it to be organized and given accompanying lectures and assignments. I took 2 courses on Coursera a few years ago. They were anything but worthless certificates. Actually neither even o

I did sedgwick's algorithm course 3 years ago. It's definitely difficult, requires a lot of work, and from what I can tell is equivalent to the princeton course in every way.

There is edX, although I haven't found their selection as good. It seems they rooted from academic courses to more like tech certificate type courses.

I had a really good experience with Coursera... In fact it's where I learned to code. I don't think I understand the comparison to video games. Yes, sometimes games will simulate work, but that's not at all like online educat

If you are a tribal member, you may go to tribal court and be subject to their laws. If you are not, you won't.

I'm really not trying to discuss the legality of it. However, that analogy does not match up with what I read. >The first is that going forward, certain major crimes committed within the boundaries of reservations must be prosecuted

Well it's certified based on tribal membership, which is an actual, de jure status. When I wrote ethnicity I am just acknowledging that it's so closely tied to tribal membership that they are effectively the same. I imagine the tr

I also read it in it's initial form, and my reply was based on that. I hate to detail so much from the article content. I strongly disagree with the flagging of that comment. Accusing a nation of being a racist ethno-state is complet

So the case at hand is about the prosecution of a tribal member by the state court. While I think the SC made the correct legal decision, I am worried about the implications of this. Do we really want to have separate legal systems based on

I don't agree that's its flamebait, and I am even skeptical of the concept of flamebait as one person's flamebait is another's honest opinion. In fact I think the comment in question is a strait forward and honest opinio

Is there a reason it's always functional languages? Despite being HNs favourite paradigm, functional languages really are an obscure to most people. As soon as there is a (convenient, useful) REPL for Java or c#, it will get picked up.

How about not redeeming gift cards for 24 hours? Basically gift cards are unspendable the same day they are purchased, giving people q day to cancel. I would think most legitimate gift cards are not spent the same day they are purchased.

My guess is that on a per distance basis, walking is more dangerous because of pedestrian-car collisions (aka getting run over). I think part of the dissonance is that intuitively I tend to compare on a time basis. I guess it depends on whe

I think it was fairly popular. I saw people arguing for it (you don't need more than $20 million dollars, so it should go to the public) This is actually a popular view in wider reddit. Of course this is all anecdotal. Of course I can&
