I haven't researched you, but a good piece of advice: Please be honest with your job advertisements. A friend of mine from college was telling me about his company's job posts one day, keep in mind they were a small company that m

At my university, the word on the street was to not waste your time with chip design or device physics, because most of that work was heavily outsourced and the employers didn't pay well. I thought that was a real shame, because our de

Having a series 0 apple watch myself, part of the reason I stopped using it was how big a pain in the butt it is when you need to do anything with it. X_X Especially if you do a major enough update on your phone that the watch needs to be r

You can tap those physical buttons and the thought will never cross your mind to check the weather, and ooh since we're at it, how's things on facebook? Email? Oh boy! 10 minutes down the toilet because I wanted to change the song

I dunno what you're whining about, I've had multi monitor setups on several mac laptops and they've always worked fine. Same on my desktop. Same on my work desktop. It's almost always more reliable than doing it on Windo

Come to think of it, my 5510 (xps 15 basically) has a stupidly bad coil whine. Ergh.

Both the Precision 5510 and the M3800 I used to have, had issues with the battery swelling. The M3800 was a piece of junk - pretty much what I'd expect when a company that makes $300 laptops uses the same design team to make a $3000 la

It doesn't have to be sexy. It has to attract people that would buy a Prius or Leaf (and neither of those are the least bit sexy). It has to get good consumer reports ratings (the Volt does).. I was actually surprised by the Volt, sinc

Funny thing, for a family car I think the Model S is perfect, and every other electric car is too small. We're on our second Chrysler 300, just because I can't find another similarly sized, similarly performing car that's hal

Have you ever hired not-senior engineers? Like people with 3-5 years experience? Or are there none of those on your team? I always wonder because 90% of hackernews posts are looking for seniors. Thanks!

Well yeah dude, our corporate social media mobile app requires the best of the best! We have a $4M Stage 3A valuation from our VC and were in YC round 6 last month! Our team of 6 MBAs and 1 programmer absolutely requires the most prestigiou

Once autonomous cars become common enough, and we have a common protocol for communicating between them, I'm pretty sure the cities will be ok with it. The autonomous cars could be instructed to move out of the way for an ambulance to

Microsoft Windows enforced maximizing everything like that since the 3.x days. Every other OS tried to enforce not doing that - some taking it to an extreme! I recall when the "maximize" button in OS X was a "zoom" butto

I've had packages from Amazon delivered all kinds of ways, including out of someone's personal car. I've seen the mail and UPS do the same too. Fun times.

It's terrible! The best doctors I've ever had were private practices where they had their own office. Every time I've dealt with anything remotely corporate it was a nightmare.

I agree. The Precision 5510 I have at work (basically an XPS 15) is definitely not a MacBook Pro. I adore how you can still upgrade the ram, replace the hard drive, and use standard m.2 SSDs, but the chassis is not that rigid, and the scree
