   I phone called a Racker on Christmas Day for support. Attentative and helpful. I was impressed.

   From a usability standpoint I would say it is easier to advise the user that using a commonly used password is a bad idea. Suggest alternatives but ultimately it is their choice.

   This is unfortunately true per Neil Degrasse Tyson's (NDT) speech in front of Congress to increase NASA's federal budget. It currently stands at 0.48% of the Federal Budget. There is a great youtube video highlighted NDT's po

   This is almost always the case to help avoid type coercion where one does not want it.

   They do have an API but it isn't in any way public. It is all in a closed system.

    I propose this question: Does the U.S. need a $5 billion battery factory? From growing general consumer electronic consumption to green energy initiatives, and finally to continued innovative advances in science & technology, I would ar

    I agree on both points. Therefore, when the time comes, change it. No need to over design if unnecessary. The reason I agree to using .format is because it is more expressive in describing the output vs inference in using print.

    Just as naive but fun to look at: function(game, team1, team2){ if (team1.rpi > team2.rpi) { team2.winsGame(); } else { team1.winsGame(); } } I want to custom build from a known index via ESPN but don't if the tea

    How about study area's in libraries? Big open spaces with maybe some nooks and crannies but immense amount of focus and concentration. The difference is the implied quiet culture. (i.e ssshhh this is a library.) My suggestion: You can

    Having seen a demo with Brad @ Geekdom SF. Drone.io is to jenkins what IntelliJ is to Eclipse. What I see as a benefit is how all the features of this CI system work for you out of the box. Definitely worth a look.

    Here here! I saw a demo as well and what he has built as well as what he has planned on the roadmap is great. Love where its going.

    The seventy percent statement is an example of a classic waterfall approach. A modern approach is to take agile philosophies and apply them to software development. Waterfall works well when requirements never change and priorities don&#x27

    Clean Code by Robert C. Martin. It's not a book to learn how to code but a book that gives good habits on how to write clean code which I think is very useful regardless of languages.

    I am a member of Geekdom in San Francisco and they just hosted an event there recently. It appeared to be an alive and vibrant organization from what I saw. Great turnout too. Prior to that event I had no idea Black Girls Code existed. Than

    I can not stress enough how much lift I gained from reading Clean Code and Clean Coder by Robert C. Martin. If it was one set of books I wish I had fresh out of college these would be it.

    I see your point. Unfortunately, we are taking a subjective term and applying it literally by one's interpretation of the word 'messy'. A subjective term is hard to measure objectively.

    Sometimes it's both. So the statement doesn't always apply although I do push for it.

    Slick tool. There are scenarios where this does work and work well (e.g. static layout) but for responsive web layout design involving transitions this falls a little flat.

    Never would of thought I would see something from the Grantland channel on HN. Yet here we are. For those more into sports, especially BBall. Listen to Jalen Rose's podcast. Real insightful information and fun stories to hear.

    With my current time commitments the best I can do is email. If that doesn't work for you then I understand. I wish you the best of success in your venture!

    Have you nailed down: 1. A product market fit? 2. Accessibility channels? 3. Monetization strategy? 4. Competitive Advantage? UX & marketing are pieces of the puzzle but not the whole pie. If you have all the pieces ready above then I t

    I think one question I have is how do we encourage a culture to not allow bystanders? It's an open question, but I hypothesize, if Joe was also my boss, would I have the courage to say something? I want to say I hope I do. I also hypot

    There is alot going on in your statement that you actually have to pull apart. I couldn't even begin to start that process. However, I will say that the comparison is not the same. And more notably, if America is indeed taking the init
