Why? The direct from the founder's mouth article is a Hacker News tradition, practically. It's also a much more honest sounding piece than the PR approved version above.

I have a pair of friends who met working third shift at a hospital. They got married and had 2 kids, who are 5 and 7 respectively now. It's still hard for them, one has moved to days out of necessity, but they both still function bes

Yes they absolutely do. Your average Psychiatrist books in 10-15 minute blocks on demand only, and focuses entirely on what drug you need while you're in the office. It's the patient's responsibility (and if they are lucky,

The idea of getting something for nothing, or less than what it's value is, is pretty hard to take from people. Lotteries just break that down to most base form, and slap a guarantee of authenticity on the return (however unlikely you

My father once won $100,000 from a scratch off ticket. It was a $20.00 scratch off ticket. I gave him crap for years over it because between playing Keno, and buying other scratch offs, he's probably spent close to that trying to rec

Well, terrorism didn't work to scare it into effect, so let's try child porn? The sad fact is the government just doesn't want people to have privacy. Privacy is the biggest threat to establishments.

Actually, this is exactly the type of person I like to interview. One that's already thought ahead and read the posting and decided if it was even close to a fit lifestyle-wise for them, and technically.

Yes, the math says so. Have a look at the video I posted above though. While E-assist bikes can do this, these hidden motor versions just don't in the real world, for racers. I do believe it will, at some point, I just don't th

My point isn't whether she broke a rule or not - she did, and deserves the ban. My point is no one has actually been caught taking advantage of the assistance from a motor during competition, and there are doubts as to it's true

For cadence and speed, they are very rarely "wired" anymore. Almost all use ANT+ for communication, it's a very low power protocol meant for low power usage. Electronic shifting (Other than SRAM's newest) is however wir

Here's the thing. No one to date has actually been caught using one. The banned woman was caught having one, on a spare bike in the pit. She claims it's owned by a friend (who corroborated) and that her mechanics mistakenly put

In the pre-internet era, I remember going to my local library and checking out the programmer's guide.. probably six times before I got my own copy for a christmas present later that year. When you couldn't just stack overflow yo

I agree with you RE: the salary price being a factor, but I think what I'm saying is, there's a lot of companies perpetually hiring good candidates - even if they don't have a desperate need for one enough to be actively recr

My father hated fridge magnets and resisted for years. Then he remarried, and it started happening, slowly. One year, he bought a very nice refrigerator for xmas. It's completely non-magnetic. I couldn't help but ask, and yes.

Cash has become this dirty thing everyone hates in the last decade. Any purchase over a hundred bucks or so a store clerk or normal person seems to have this awkwardness about them in accepting it. It's not uncommon to see people pay

Gums. Patches. Lozenges. We've had methods of doing just that for decades, and none have had the rampant adoption e-cigarettes have. The short answer is there's a lot more to smoking than nicotine. Social interactions, rituals

Isn't this piece core to the virtual wallet/payment tech installed on the phone? Should apple's engineers have to put in friendly error messages if you exchange components in what's supposed to be a closed system?

The thing I wonder about is less that, but the fact that if everyone near college age is being steered to "code" we'll be producing less and less actual goods to sell, and what the long term impact of that will look like.

I don't get this. Is there some paid off official there? Different standards? Why is it such a great place to win patent troll suits - which seem to get overturned in higher courts? Is the idea that a win there will stop the defend
