I think it also comes from how they can act on urges directly. People are (sometimes)frustrated by their lives, and a mobster seems like it is a glamorous life where you can shoot anyone you don't like. To add to that psychopathic char

I have always felt that premature optimization is the root of all evil implied that you will profile the code post writing and fix the bottlenecks. Also as long as there is no impact on code clarity, I don't think writing (prematurely)

The same paying model would be used for consumers, but with subscriber share model presented in the article, the author argues would be a more equitable distribution for the artists. It seems simple in theory, but I would like to see some a

The problem with this, and why I try willingly refuse to believe much of it, even knowing it is a solid science is that all these are circumstances outside our control. It is a chilling proposition that you are not really that much responsi

Point noted and accepted. It seems I haven't even graduated and am already becoming insular and elitist. Need to do some self-realization.

I am curious if project euler teaches you programming. I does teach you mathematics and thinking logically, but software engineering is different and is really learnt on the job. I am always confused when someone says about learning or teac

Interesting take. Though I wonder what you'll tell people who say that you have to work smarter and harder to achieve success.

I was shocked a little bit by how broadband is still 512 kbps. I remember the same definition from around 6 years ago. Other part is how content providers are self policing without any directive from the government. This is worrying.

So, commenting late so may not get a response. But I am curious about handling stuff like bank accounts, health insurance etc. like that require you to specify an address. How does that work out?

I would argue that both type of thinking have their places. Some assumptions are no longer valid because of how the society has changed. There are innovations like internet, mobile etc. in the last 15 or so years that have had high impact o

They don't require funding agreed, but I would be more interested in evaluating my time at say even minimum wage or some dollar amount, and then evaluating the roi of these ideas vs some other idea where I invest time as well as money.

Depends on how large the company is. For small startups, a glassdoor review might be specific enough to identify the candidate. Bigger companies, I suspect won't care and/or don't have take-home tests.

This seems like a decent idea. Wonder what the lawyers have to say about it though?

What are the ethics of this? Though credit score anyway is penalising you, but it is at least based on financial history. There might be a slippery slope here.I can't imagine what would happen if google were to use something like searc

The cost of supporting those fleet of cars along with drivers will make it non-profitable for a company like Uber to exist in anywhere except for high traffic zones. So the prices will go up, and it may not be as convenient. I am not sure i

Also, I think India has a younger population so that 20x may be higher, though I don't know by how much.

Is Network effects a company? If so, can you give the url. Googling doesn't help much in this case. EDIT:If you were talking about social network effects, this is embarrassing.

It is a tradeoff. If you are looking for a job, or are new to the industry, linkedin is better than trying to build a professional network otherwise. After you have been in the industry for, say 15 years, and pretty much know most of the pe

I have always wondered what the Hogwarts express was being used for between the annual trips. It seems to be a perfect example of a "ghost train".

There are audio books and podcasts, so it is not completely useless to drive. But compared to trains, you do lose the freedom. In a train, if I listen to an audiobook, it will be by choice, unlike driving. I guess there will be some point w

Some people look lost? I am not sure what facial expression would convey that, and if there is a possibility of having them unconsciously, but on a similar note had a roommate who used to always have blood shot eyes, and a perpetual express

It wasn't more about reading comments. The article goes into how you shouldn't let abrasive comments impact you. This is my first post to hackernews so I wasn't sure if I should change the title of the post to something diffe
