Maybe they want to be on the winning side this time (just joking). My guess is that the trump campaign is spending on ads on YouTube, while the Biden campaign isn't. There seems to be a lot of mashups and videos comparing statements

LOL. Twice the passengers; same number of restrooms. I wonder if the extra airline profits will cover the possible payout of a lawsuit where a mother's lap baby twists out of her arms and plonks six feet down onto the hard aluminum flo

We just went through the process of finding childcare for our infant. Originally, we were going to have my wife's parents move in to help, but her father was suddenly diagnosed with lung cancer, forcing us to scramble for child care.

Your hypothesis is wrong. At one point I was thinking of changing careers and gave a serious consideration to getting a law degree. I've had long conversations with several attorneys and did plenty of research. You would be surprise

Some random nobody/front-end developer starts using Windows... this just seems so out of place on HN.

It's not. They should do what I do -- silently "crop dust" the other cubicles as I drift past on my way to an unimportant meeting. But seriously, I have a cubicle-mate that goes through a box of tissues every two days. He i

Wrong title. Should be "The Burden of Working in an Unprofessional Environment with Jerks." This is a natural outcome of promoting work, not as a job, but more of a lifestyle to ring out as much as productivity as you can from yo

I've formed and run an sole member LLC, S Corp and C corp. Sometimes I get people asking me about forming a company to do EBay, Amazon FBA, and other side gigs. Here is basically what I tell anyone who asks (cliff notes version), off

I really hate articles like this. The company provides home health visits, requiring a nurse. Nurses don't work for $7.50 hour. Reading closely, it was for entry-level positions, probably in a certain department. Skilled positions

I have a Ring doorbell camera and a camera in our garage, mostly to see if the garage door is closed. The "crime alerts" are annoying, so I've basically turned off all the notifications. Looks like amazon has figured out th

I had the opposite experience. My father got laid off the year before I was to enter college. Because of the way financial aid worked at the time, it looked back at three years of parental income. He was cashing out his retirement to kee

That is awesome and fascinating at the same time. I genuinely hope you make a dent in the universe and succeed. I hope you post an update with your success dealing something out the door and dealing with the NRC.

Just curious. It looks like you formed Atomic Alchemy in 2018 and from the "YC W19" in the title I can assume you've been accepted in YC in 2019. Is this correct? If this is correct, can you bring an already formed startup

"Apple Tax?" When I purchased my last beefy workstation, I looked at Dell, HP, IBM, and clones. When I purchased my 2008 8-core workstation, Apple was hands down the cheapest option. It lasted 10 years until I finally decommissi

Depends on what model. The IT department gave me a dock and I couldn't get it to work with my Dell laptop. It was insufficient to charge the laptop, and I got tired of trying. Later a BIOS update plus driver changes will get it worki

Most states have laws on the books that forbid you from calling your business a "bank," "pharmacy," or other restricted business unless it actually is. Simply doing so is enough to trigger regulatory intervention. I&#x

I second the AccuCheck fastclix. The needles are silicon coated so they don't tear tissues -- so very little pain. I hated using the other brands of lancets. The needles are encased in a cartridge, so you can throw them away in a tr

RAID is not a backup strategy. I've lost data with the Intel onboard raid, several times, so I refused to use the Intel raid implementations; if you are going to utilize RAID, I've learned the hard way to pay for a proper RAID car

As someone who has had several CT scans (and paid for CT scans), the idea that a CT scan is better than a physician feeling your abdomen is absolutely ridiculous. Pumping contrast agents into everyone who has pain is a very bad idea. More

I used to love to go to sears. As a kid I would spend hours thumbing through the Sears catalog, and circle Christmas gifts to give hints to my parents. At one point most of the appliances and tools in my house were Sears brands. Unfortuna

Never mind. I found the answer. The prevailing advice now is: call them valued employees, but pay them as contingent/contract workers. Some companies have "perks" that include reimbursement for accounting/tax preparat
