Any suggestions for more info on this? Books, how-to's, longer "this is what I did stories"? I could just start calling rural real estate lawyers and asking nosy questions, but maybe there's a quicker way. :)

I don't need to. What I choose to pay attention to should be private by default. And it's not about personal embarrassment, it's also about security. If I star code I rely on to watch for updates, I'd be publicly advertising the attack surf

...how about some privacy controls? I'd really prefer not to advertise which users and projects I'm following or starring. Now I have Facebook trying to own and broadcast my personal life and GitHub trying to own and broadcast my profession

I think they're trying to show that it's easy to cart around at either end of a commute.

Could've just been a random test. New parents are such insanely profitable customers they're worth a bit of risk/expense to acquire.

If your friend does not have the ties that prevent him from moving from his current location, just moving from a large city to a rural location (while staying in the States) could cut their cost of living 50%.

That's much nicer for the ones with all the money and power than for the one person looking for work. Or a landlord. Or a client. Or a partnership. Or an acquisition. Etc.

No. First, get password. Second, get phone number. Third, pretext to gain control of the account and forward/copy texts, view them via web interface, or replace the phone.

EA pay developers? Can you ask for a unicorn, too?

A password as secure as my phone is not promising; T-Mobible was recently happy to reset my lost PIN by having me give the last four digits of any phone number I'd dialled in the last 23 hours. I don't really think it's as useful two-factor

Thanks for posting that. (Though I really only learned how super not OK with a tiling window manager that was.)

I've gotten the feeling the Atlantic has made a major change in publishing policy in the last two or three months. They now seem to have a lot of what the print world calls blogs, which is to say: linkbait by notables that is conspicuously

The previous comment is probably misremembering; the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for investigating counterfeiting, which seems pretty odd if you're only familiar with them as personal security for presidents.

So... what does it do? Are the screeshots anywhere? A description?

The question has the wording it does because they've been keeping the same text from a time when people did not mind this kind of language they way they do now. If they changed it, they'd lose the ability to compare with the last few decade

They sum to less than 100% because this chart leaves off the undecideds. For more info, turn to Gallup itself: http://www.gallup.com/poll/21814/evolution-creationism-intel... They're a solid outfit with a great track record; these numbers

Well of course it did, they didn't send out press releases.

A few years ago when this was announced I seriously considered setting up shop to host these gTLDs. (I rebuilt the .pro registry, so I have the domain knowledge.) Then I realized I'd have huge risk from ICANN, if they dragged their feet I'd

Huh, I've used nearly this example for years, except my two worst are "var" and "var3" - with no var2, leaving the reader to wonder what happened to it.

Yes, disks fail. See "Floppy Disks: It's Already Too Late", by one of the most prominent digital archivists: http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/3191

Yes, thank you.

Yes. An example was posted here in the last few weeks - there's a startup whose name I can't remember that plans meetups of three men and three women. They had a serious problem with cancellations, which was solved by requiring the cancelle

Look up programming jargon in whichever dictionary you found this definition. Something with a common meaning, like 'domain', 'array', or 'tree'. How well does it apply? Words like "sexist", "sexism", "homophobia", and "racism" are jargon f

So... a new blog network (domain created last month) finds a hot topic for its authors to argue back and forth in public. It's clever marketing, but I've read enough of TechCrunch.

Can we make it part of the midwest mentality to discourage linkbait overgeneralizations?

It's a landing page for a software to-do list. Somehow the guy lands the HN front page with a vague blog post every 2-3 weeks.

Business negotiations (in which VCs benefit from founders not shopping around, negotiating for better deals, or building interest) are not at all comparable to a social situation involving actual humans. The goal is to get readers thinking

When they say that you will be "completely taken care of", they don't mean it if they don't put it in writing. That means a salary, stock options or grants, anti-dilution clauses... The way you ask is, "I'm considering putting school on hol
