Yeah, I prefer this one. I mean, some of those SF apartments, while of course expensive, are pretty damn sweet. ALL of the houses in crackshackormansion are shitty, and I'm amazed the lot value of these places is still 1+ million.

The section of this article that discussed a "potential downside" of anti-retroviral treatments being that they prevent human evolution seemed downright offensive to me. I don't think the author realizes it but what he is sug

Check out this study: http://www.vaoutcomes.com/papers/JAMA2975.pdf The conclusion: "Although 5-year survival is a valid measure for comparing cancer therapies in a randomized trial, our analysis shows that change

The assumption that "it does make a difference between death an survival" in not necessarily born out by the data. There has been a big push back recently against using an improvement in 5 year survival rate as an indication of su

Glad you are doing well. Pancreatic cancer is probably the scariest of all cancers, and I can hardly imagine your ordeal. Still, one needs to be careful about taking one incident and generalizing from that. There is, for example, a very rea

I would actually be more critical of "regular checkups" than your post. If we are looking at being "data driven" when it comes to our health, the jury is definitely still out on even having annual physicals for otherwise

But he's not asking the man to get a high paying job. He's wondering why he can't get a low paying job and rent out a cheap room. This man is single, young, and otherwise healthy with no dependents. In that situation it is ce

Come on over and visit us at /r/coffee, and we'll set you straight :) There actually is a consensus that "real" espresso has to be brewed with around 9 bar of pressure, and that is the standard used by SCAA ( see h

Still, it's pretty obnoxious, too. There are a LOT of highly paid software developers with huge egos that think they are inherently special. I guarantee if we figure out how to better automate software development, they will be changin

Given that THREE of the responses to this question are Zappos, I'm going to venture that it's probably incredibly rare. Especially since, in Zappos case, they are essentially selling commodity products (branded clothes that you ca

You are leaving out the very important fact that we're talking about commerce here, not just general freedom of association. The law has always made substantial demands on people engaging in commerce that often override other freedoms.

Two points: First, that was just one small part of the article. The rest talks in broad terms about equality, justice and fairness as to why the "religious freedom" laws should be opposed. Second, when you say "No-one knows i

I remember the first time I came to San Jose how surprised I was. This was the Silicon Valley of lore, and it basically looked like every other boring, nondescript suburb in America.

Not necessarily. Those "getChild()" and "something()" methods could, for example, return new objects. this is only the root of child and something if this retains references (i.e. member variables) to these objects, whic

Seriously, call the Waaambulance. A master's degree in CS at Stanford is basically like a business degree - you expect serious financial reward from this investment, and you'll most likely get it.

What? $5000 a year is a straightforward, achievable contribution, especially with work-study jobs. When I was an undergrad at an ivy league school I made significantly more than that working at the dining hall during the year and the course

This is why I feel it's just better to refrain from any sort of judgment on this case based on what you read in the news. You're right - as it's written, it looks like "Duh, he's hitting on her." But did he giv

Well, a big point of YC is that it provides the "contacts and money". And of course anyone who is further along in their career has more at risk by going to a startup.

Not just looking at the phone, though, even the tablets (kindle fire) are crippled because FireOS is subpar to stock Android in virtually every way that matters.

While this is true, to my mind it's almost "6 of one/half dozen of the other". Using the examples given, there have been many security flaws where a generated token like a password reset token (one stored in the DB) is n
