I'm in the SUN campus. I have a personal office which is bigger than my matchbox bedroom in SF (ok, equal size). I've already filled the whole place with geeky stuff and technical papers/articles/specs/docs/boo

I personally think it is just "Expectation vs Reality". The government is in extreme debt. Debts have to be paid back. The problem with debt is that it does not leave freedom to do constructive things (like upgrading infrastructur

As much as I am happy that my profession pays well, it is unreasonable to think everyone has the ability to do what we do. Adapting to skills beyond your domain is really hard, especially when you are aging. Here's a scenario. Let&#x27

I hear ya. This is called the Greater Fool theory. VCs know this. That's the reason they hype startups and ask young folks to "drop out and startup'. They are bound to make money somewhere (1 in 10 startups that IPOed big). S

Am I the only one amazed at the level of foresight the Norwegian politicians are displaying here? In comparison, the US government seems so....mismanaged.

This is similar to Matttheatheist's answer but I found this to be much more clear: https://www.quora.com/Computer-Science/How-do-computers-work...

Exactly. I would appreciate someone explaining the difference between software developer and software engineer (and why this salary difference).

Amazing bullcrap. It's hilarious to see the views of folks living in the Silicon Valley echo chamber.

I want to congratulate you for reading between the lines and understanding the reasons for success. You put it in much better words. Thanks!

Sorry if this came out wrong. I never mentioned that Sheryl does not deserve it. Nor did I say that she did not work hard. Folks who discredit Sheryl's success are dumbasses. She worked hard for it and completely deserves her success.

I'm just a young male and my views are obviously not perfect. But I've always thought that if Sheryl Sandberg was not rich, she would've had a completely different view of the world women live in. In lean-in, she paints this

Doesn't mean SF has to ape the East coast. There are enough people making the 50 mile commute everyday that a public transport system is worthwhile and can be profitable. I am pretty sure that if Caltrain went about 10 miles/hr fa

To add to Roger's answer, I can assure you that software engineers in semiconductor companies are having a ball as well. The work often involves understanding computer architecture, registers, memory and IO. Everything cool (read: adva

The only folks who have answered that question are folks who were lucky enough to have things go in their favor. Admittedly, they all worked hard at it and deserve it, I think what people really want to hear is an average perspective. What

It is not about living wages. The anguish is that a smaller share of the boom-profit reaches the bottom. While a select few people become multi-millionaires, the rest cannot be expected to be happy about the effect of such wealth on everyon

Well, true all that. Except, my non-technical parents won't be buying any more PCs. They can do everything they want on their ipad. And I'm pretty sure they don't want media editors, compilers or complex spreadsheet editors e

This is a very interesting perspective. I never thought of it that way. One might add the fact that pre-WW1, most women were not a part of the workforce/merchant class/trader class(sad but true). So yes, employment is a relatively

But will they have enough engineers on board to make a phone? The hardware game is quite expensive.

I'm new to HN, but I've seen this even in folks over 25 in the bay area. Basically, most tech people here seem to be disconnected from the rest of the world. Then of course, there are also folks who came in from other states/
