I'm not sure how I feel about Senior House overall, but the misuse of the survey data enraged me. We have such a hard time getting people at MIT to seek help for mental health issues and stupid bullshit like this is exactly why. People

I'm perplexed by the logic here. If NK initiated a preemptive strike on local bases, there wouldn't be an opportunity for a second wave of attacks against the US mainland. The United States would retaliate so savagely that there w

Frankly what is necessary here is a version of medical malpractice for the IT industry. If you do something which is far outside what is considered industry best practice and it results in a penetration which harms users, you should be crim

Is this only going to be at IBM's new facility on Binney or are they going to have space in the facilities MIT is building now?

Their signup process for the credit freeze involves entering your SSN which is not obscured at all. It's increasingly obvious how this could have happened -_-

Start slow. Pick a friend you want to get to know better, share some light shared domain related concern or fear with them (work related, hobby related, etc), and see how it is received. If they are empathetic and supportive then you can o

I'm consistently surprised at how tepid AMD's embrace of mining has been. If I was them and noticed that my product was literally sold out everywhere because of mining, I would embrace it, open a mining division, and immediately g

There isn't a post office near me and I don't have a car. I come home at 9-10 PM every day and the post office closes before then. Do I now have to leave work to get my packages? Do I have to use Uber when I receive a large packag

I disagree. Journal publishers provide value by crafting in house editorials and industry news pieces, soliciting review papers on pertinent topics, suggesting editorials for controversial works, and by filtering out obviously crappy manusc

Guy gets caught on a low grade theft charge and just blurts out that he committed a litany of far more serious federal crimes? Someone sitting on 40 million dollars of bitcoin is out stealing cheap laptops from people he has relationships w

Agreed, this should have been totally predictable based on Bears games, lolla, etc.

Yeah we used to use Jira for a < 10 person team mostly based on my insistence and it ended up being too much tool for our needs. I begrudgingly agreed to switch to GitHub issues and it ended up working very well for us.

A quick search of eBay shows no good deals on gtx 1070s. Used cards are selling for what I bought my cards new for a month ago or more (380).

Is probably more complicated than guys suck because they're unwilling to be serious or commit and women are perfect. People are feeling less stable financially and career wise. Dating is also far more complicated than it used to be and

I don't follow. AWS, fire TV stick, echo dot, Amazon fresh, audible; all of these are great products / product lines that have little to do with delivery of non perishable goods.

To take the proposed model to it's logical extreme, what if you only want 3/10, 2/10, 1/10? Now you're suddenly back to hiring individuals again. The whole point of hiring a team is that you aren't evaluating

I disagree. Trains on high speed rail networks can travel between 150 and 200 miles per hour. It's highly unlikely that we will see self-driving cars hitting those speeds routinely for a long time as it requires every other car on the

I didn't down vote these stories, but to be blunt they aren't value adding content. I come to hacker news for interesting discussions and to learn. Reading yet another story about sexism or inequality in tech doesn't add any

Does it matter? And if it does, wouldn't it be better to just use "they" and avoid gender issues all together?

This. I'd argue one of the biggest problems facing the United States right now is that there is a (falsely) perceived lack of competition / existential threats which is making us lazy and complacent.

It would but the average user would be pissed if they went into a retail store and were told that they had to wait weeks to use their new phone. They might decide to abort the purchase.

Surprise! When you try to do things on the cheap, don't do adequate due diligence, and are impatient and hasty, things go wrong.

This single small bridge, the Longfellow Bridge, is a crucial artery connecting Boston with its surrounding cities and towns across the river. I should have emphasized in my initial comment that it is a high priority project.

True, but even in Boston they can't get public transportation and infrastructure right. Boston is almost certainly one of the most vibrant economic hubs in America and one of the most compact cities, but the subway absolutely sucks, is
