One could easily make "charge only" USB cables with the data pins disconnected. Or a passthrough dongle which does that.

I like this idea.. I've actually been thinking about something like this for a while. You could have a DC distribution panel next to the main one, that converts the mains voltage to 24/48 VDC for lighting circuits and DC receptacles. 240 W

You're mostly right, but it's legal to separate the mains voltage and low voltage connections like this: http://www.smarthome.com/2546/Low-Voltage-Divider-Plate-SCDI...

A mid-range home EV charger (like the GE WattStation), is spec'ed for 30A at 240V, which is 7.2kW, not 20kW. You might be confused because a typical battery in an EV is around 20+kW h , which is why it takes a few hours for the wall charger

They're talking about a manager who spends so much time dealing with the people above them on the org chart (CEO, Board, etc) that they lose sight of the realities of what's really going on in in the engineering "trenches".

Really the #1 reason that Git beats Subversion right now, is that Git is what people use . If your development involves any community open source stuff, you will need to be comfortable with git and with github. Just use git because it's w

I don't think this would be useful for new documents. To me, it would be more useful for moving all of my documents that I have stored as email attachments that have been accumulating for years.

Exactly my thoughts.. My wife and I are moving all our recipes into a shared Evernote premium account, and it's really fast and easy to use, and performs decent OCR on whatever we scan. I can't think of any way that we could improve on this

I don't think anyone will sign up unless they can see what they're signing up for first.

Wow, it sounds like they were probably just filling out the job application for you. It was clearly a "warm bodies in front of desks" kind of recruiter. I've experienced this sort of thing before where a defense contractor wins some bid a

Make something up. It's not like they're going to call your boss and say "Hey we're trying to steal this employee away from you, how much money are you paying him?" Some exceptions to this: 1. You work a government job where your salary i

You don't really negotiate with a recruiter, in that sense. When they are asking you your salary information, it's not negotiation, it's fishing for information -- they want to know whether continuing the conversation is a waste of time or

Like many others in the comments, I disagree with the whole "Don't be the first to state a number" strategy. Being weaselly about your number is a very noob thing to do in a negotiation. A skilled negotiator will seize on this and anchor t

That's funny, I'm a 35 year old techie looking to partner with a health care professional on a startup.. If you want to bounce ideas back and forth, contact me at the email in my profile -- I'd definitely be interested in a chat with you. A

Anytime someone threatens to sue you, things change. You need to be very careful with how you talk to this "friend" going forward. Save all old emails and correspondence, and avoid talking to them until you really understand the details o

There is no grand conspiracy involving Google apologism. Everything with a .co.ke domain is auto-killed by the HN submission process. I just tried it myself with some other random Kenyan domain: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3460932

Why not just crawl HN and pick out all the comments that are greyed out?

I knew a left-handed cook who was very particular about his knives - but yeah, most professional cooks just use whatever is supplied by the restaurant.
