> Custody searches in this context are forbidden by the fourth amendment, by the way, regardless of what the TSA's legal team may claim. As is x-raying baggage and body-scans. Fourth amendment rights don't apply to the same extent when

I feel you. For sure, most recruiters are basically trying to fill a position - they work for commissions, and the hiring company, not you. Expecting a recruiter who contacted you to represent your interests is like expecting the lawyer for

Wow, if you are skilled technically and aren't annoyed by constant recruiter outreach, you are doing something majorly wrong. I'd also say technical recruiters are also doing something majorly wrong if your resume reflects your abilities. I

I have seen issues quite a few times, and they are serious headaches to fix when they come about. I've had libraries implement Rails utility methods slightly differently, or conflicting implementations of monkeypatches on S3 libraries. Whil

They have "respectfully suggested" because there is no infringing use to sue over yet, and they likely prefer that the startup change it's name to a drawn out legal battle - it's better for both parties. There is quite a strong case I think

Wow. 20 billion pounds expected with unclear outcome. I have to wonder what the scope of such a project looks like to come within 2 orders of magnitude of that number.

Windows 1 does not remotely qualify as "catching up" with the Mac. And no one, not Jobs or anyone else, is defending those 13 years, so no excuse is necessary. Jobs came back to a shell of a nearly bankrupt company and turned it into the mo

What you say is true of a huge number of people I speak to, most I would say, and I yearn for a party that represents this viewpoint. They would sweep. Unfortunately, I have to support the Democrats, who are too strongly tied in with entitl

Unfortunately, there is no room for moderate Republicans in the party right now, and most such centrist "Republicans" are far too appalled by the intellectual dishonesty and social policies of the Republicans to consider such a move. Giving

Yelp reviews are fascinating for showing how effective these tactics are. I guess Israelis are as scientific about their sales as their martial arts. http://www.yelp.com/biz/dead-sea-premier-kiosk-san-francisco

It's a bit idealistic to suggest you must be passionate about web development to continue to be relevant. You can get along just fine if you are in it for the money for a long time to come. You may be miserable with your work, but if you ca

Secret affairs, or any other secret potentially embarrassing personal or sexual traits, are easy fodder for blackmail. People are irrational when it comes to such things. Anyone in such a position needs to basically have no personal secrets

Seems like it would have be safer and harder to detect if they used a private pastebin or some similar obscure scratchpad service. That is essentially what they are doing, except in something that is somewhat easier to link to their identit

Sounds like a win win. There are hundreds of places for humor on the Internet. I'm pretty happy SO sticks with business. Humor would be distracting and irritating.

Indeed. Particularly in contract to the Obama machine, which was built by passionate technologies motivated mostly to help Obama win, not make money.

Pretty clearly outside the guidelines and norms of HN. It doesn't bother me personally (and I don't think it's sexist) but it also doesn't belong here.

Not sexist - sexual. Unless you consider sexuality inherently sexist.

Linking to the product would have done just fine. No need for T&A. http://nitrogr.am/ That said, those calling it sexist are misguided. If it had equal parts man, it would be equally inappropriate for HN. Displaying only one gender is

It may very well be that changing the UI map is the easiest way to accomplish this. Any particular person may not have access to the backend code, but may have access to the code that maps screen positions to selection. Having no knowledge

Design is subtle. Good design seems obvious. I say that only somewhat tongue-in-cheek. The precise spacing, kerning, proportions, typeface, line width, other ratios, etc do matter. The look is simple, timeless, and iconic. That said, it doe

Thanks. More exceedingly obtuse Google UI. There were a couple apps I could remove with access to Gmail, but doubtful that is the issue.

Does anyone else suffer from EXTREMELY slow gmail. This happens for me across all devices, browsers, and even IMAP. 30+ seconds to load messages sometimes and lots of 17, 317 and 503 errors. I've tried every recommendation, and of course he

There will always be those who proclaim outrage and lament change. Change always causes loss, but we often gain more. Naysayers may help us keep track of what is lost, but best to ignore them otherwise. Because of agriculture, we don't know

Heroku offers database replication to the west coast, but in my understanding, the platform is all in the Virginia data center, so this would not mitigate.
