True enough, but I think, technically speaking, drowning isn't choking... it's suffocation, right? Though, drowning in Soylent would be a whole 'nother kind of hell. Wouldn't it? Shudder .

I think it's called Soylent, if that's still around. Hard to choke on liquefied food.

Jeez this is some pollyanna shit right here. I'm glad you're rich bro, but from your "incredible journey" ( really? ) there is plenty, plenty of wreckage you've created.

It's hybrid that probably doesn't work -- It's a culture thing. I worked in a 100% remote company for 8 years, and we had all those same collaborative experiences, they were just shaped a bit differently. But, I don't t

By "equalize" he probably means "lower" for many. Perhaps he doesn't want to say to those of us in high-wage countries to realize that we're competing globally for position salary-wise, and thus companies are

If you're creating any kind of support staff, where you can talk to a real human to get help, then the Erlang-C calculations work incredibly well to predict headcount and schedules.

Damn, I feel cynical. But, sometimes HN is weird. From the article: > " This data can be used for many other purposes, too, many of which probably haven't been invented yet," he said . > and " ... it is now estim

If it's anything like the Macy's near me, this will be just in time for the store's permanent closing.

Pretty sure that's already a thing, not for movies per sé but for ads where a celeb can license their avatar - 3d model and voice for use in ads. Especially useful when they want the celebs lips to move correctly when the ad is transla

>But remember, the bias ends with the user using the tool. If I want a black scientist, I can just say "black scientist". That is a really, really , narrow viewpoint. I think what people would prefer is that if you query &quot

I can totally appreciate that. That pricing for Publish is way out of whack for my goals. My particular vault se case might only update once or twice a month (it's all already written), so nearly $200 a year for something so static ju

Interesting to see what's changed. CDROM and EXE's, CVS vs Git, Waterfall (I assume a waterfall-ish dev method as its referring to Specs) vs Scrum, Quiet spaces vs Open Bull pen dev areas.

What a weird product. Those robots are annoying enough a the grocery store.... In my home? No way. The last thing I want is a roving camera in my house, inventorying everything, listening to my every word, monitoring me, and sending it all

I don't think that's possible because, if I understand correctly, many of the parts need to be adjusted periodically to maintain accuracy. It's not a set-once-and-forget type situation. Those parts need to be able to make ex

And yet, that Eames chair he's sitting in looks as timeless and cool today as it did in 1983 (and as it did in 1963). I find that notion an interesting sub-commentary on the quaintness/coolness of the tech.

You find the NYPost is less biased than the Times? Interesting. Or, is it just that you want news that reinforces your beliefs instead of challenges them?

Better? probably. Being honest with people is usually better. But this is a good time to remind everyone that you owe zero -- ZERO -- loyalty to a company. Be just as ruthless to them as they are to you. As an employee know that the company

Calling these exercises "Games" is a stretch. Also: Extra points if your good at memorizing a list of arbitrary words that must be included, and you're a good touch typist. In these "games" Hunt-and-peck is a penalt

From the site: We now offer trackballs for left-handed ballers! It’s exactly identical to a right-handed trackball, but it’s for lefties. Celebrate! But note that the writing and the logo and all of that is actually mirrored!

Hugged to death w/in 10 mins. I caught a glimpse of the page -- is there a lefty model? Or as with many left-right specific products do we get screwed?

Not sure about GP, but the Font / Color combo is darn near impossible for me to read.
