"Rent control or not, the law of supply and demand still applies... or about whether rent control works. It doesn't work." Without rent control, I'm pretty sure that a LOT more people would be pushed out of San Francisco

The TextBlade looks pretty cool. Looks like it would take a lot of training to get proficient at as well. The MS keyboard is very nice looking and would work for casual typing. It might be a better buy than the cheapie keyboard that the

This is definitely concerning. I used to wash my car and truck about every week or two when they were new. Today, I haven't washed them in over two years. During the last "big" storm in the bay area, I was hoping to go out

I grew up with Sutro Tower as part of the SF skyline so I don't really hate it. As the title states, I don't appreciate it as much as the rest of SF's landmarks because it's so different from everything else such as Coi

I have 4 chromebooks, the original pilot program, 1st Gen Samsung, Acer c720, and the Pixel. Totally love the pixel, pilot book and Acer, hate the 1st gen. AdmiralAsshat's criticisms are valid about the pixel but it works well for me

I would love to be a fly on the wall to see how this discussion is taking place at Google. This is especially relevant now that Google is hosting a Women Techmakers event for International Women's Day.

You don't even have to say anything to incur the wrath of the misogynists and trogolodytes. Recently: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/curt-schil... I'm glad that she made a big deal ou

Since I discovered yc, I've really enjoyed all of the articles, advice, and debates that came from them. The more I learn about their history and culture, the more impressed I get. Jessica Livingston's post has increased my appr

Awesome response by the father. I don't really understand why some of this hate gets handed out, especially since these guys didn't know the girl.

The Aliens series of sci-fi films is my favorite of all time. Even though I watched the first two on tv, they were still amazing, and I have the 5 DVD set. I enjoyed them all, even though one or two of them weren't as popular. The s

Great conversation. Reminds me of some outsourced techs that I've talked to.

LOL, I've always wondered why TCL didn't become more popular since it has a lot of advantages, on paper. The one thing that really turned me off of it was the way it looked, really butt ugly.

Just my friends who are engineering managers. They manage teams here and overseas in China and India. Their views are, overall, the engineers from overseas are of lower quality than the engineers here. But they cost less especially overs

Just curious, is there a larger pool of good engineers in India than available locally? If there is, that sounds like an opportunity to fulfill the promise of the H1B program. From what I understand, the body shops that import most of the

"willing to work for pay Z" Is 'Z' a low number compared to the average employee? If that is, maybe that's the problem?

LOL, anytime I ask about linux availability, nobody has anything to say about LINUX.

So, would you have to go to India to find good engineers? And if you do, what is the interview process like?

"A lot of H1B discussions on HN focus on fraud and avoid talking about legitimate talented foreigners" Not just on HN, but the discussions on H1B are similar everywhere. And just in case you don't understand the controversy,

I wonder how that affects pg's views on allowing more H1B workers. ( http://www.paulgraham.com/95.html ) The H1B program doesn't really help or address the need by startups for qualified employees.

"To completely stereotype" I wouldn't characterize that as a stereotype as much as a data point. It's very good info and insight, thanks for that.

Nice move by MS for developers. Too bad you can't use the SDK on other platforms for development, OS X and linux.

According to his website: "All data is from h1bdata.info" ( http://h1bdata.info/ ) I looked at the website briefly, but wasn't sure how he was able to aggregate all of the data.

Great name! GPL too. "The world’s forensics experts, governments and three-letter acronym agencies are using similar tools already, so why not?" I'm not sure I understand that reasoning, but whatever.
