But unlocking is easy if you're a hacker. It's the non-hackers that apple is screwing the most. The point of knowing how to hack stuff in this way is to get the most out of your soft/hardware, not to support the most hacker-friendly company

The same could be asked of the phone here. Cellphone companies always use the lowest, most underhanded tactics possible. Never trust them.

If your line of work is such a commodity that the wage goes down to zero as the number of workers increases then you're not in very good shape already. Take lawyers. Even when there are far too many people who meet the minimal qualification

On my desktop at least, there is no system error that I fear more. Numerous times this error has caused programs trash the open files. Only programs I know that handle it: emacs, postgresql, centericq Notable offenders: firefox, bash, almos

[numbers needed] To say that an activity is "taking a risk" with total disregard as to the magnitude of the risk is misleading to put it nicely. How does this compare to the exposure from other electromagnetic signals? Should I immediately

Or, equally useful would be if YC and clones could help smooth candidates' entry into the US. Has YC ever considered signing off on the founders' visas as their employer? Or providing the services of a good immigration lawyer for free? Perh

Does any prosper lender really just do it for the money? Hope not. An unusually low default rate would show to me that the money is going only to people constrained by their fear of risk.

That's a problem with most EE books, it's either extreme depth or broad and shallow. You have a good question. I'd like to see others' recommendations. I wish I could help more, but I still curse the books I learned from:)

It would be quite a huge book. The topic area is more broad than you'd think, although not at all impenetrable. I don't know if any such comprehensive text exists. All of the books I used, I found to be quite poor and limited in scope compa

As the banking industry has shown us, what's good for the industry in the long term is often not what's good for the individuals in charge in the short term.... So I can't entirely say I'm surprised.

This post makes the good point that companies would have far better return if they look for ways to collect better input data rather than poring all the effort into getting minuscule improvements from the generic recommendation algorithms.

So the conclusion is to either not do it for years or make a sham marriage. I have no idea how someone could be unsatisfied by this previous advice:) It really does seem to be a rather mysterious process if you're this far out of the norm t

Buying up vast amounts of prime real estate in an extremely overcrowded town and then wasting the property just to earn pennies a day while others desperately need it is not squatting either, huh?

It always has confused me as to why ISPs and Universities have been so persistent about throttling protocols instead of just regulating bandwidth. Quality is generally completely unaffected for other services as long as you don't saturate y

The biggest regret in life will be passing on the very few opportunities we are lucky enough to have. The advice of waiting 6 more months or just giving up because of what's outside of your control rubs me as something bordering on: You can
