   Correct me if I'm wrong, but this blog post doesn't actually seem to answer the question. I'm curious if Facebook really is having difficulty recruiting developers due to this specific issue and if the 40-50% pay offering rea

   This. Battery life on my Nexus 6P is just fine, at least equal to my friends with their iPhone 6 Pluses. My Note 4 also had solid battery life before that. For the most part, modern Android phones are much better than their predecessors in

   There are definitely counter-measures available, although I'm sure a well-funded entity like a government could do a good job of preventing some methods from performing well: http://dronelife.com/2015/06/04&#x

   I'm also interested in seeing the possibility of seeing projections for my area, but yes, there doesn't seem to be a good way of sifting through the data.

   I'm all for a real solution, but in the meantime, I would rather not be considered an ideal target due to my school's policies. If I had the option to carry a gun as a college student, at least that would put me on par with other

    I have my picture taken next to an F-35 thanks to a friend who is an F-35 pilot. I can assure you that it's fake. Most likely made of paper mache. The helmet's pretty cool though.

    Looks cool, but the page seems to freeze Chrome within a second or two. Chrome could learn a thing or two from Tardigrades.

    Thanks! That looks cool once I know enough to start practicing on big data sets.

    Thanks for the well-worded response. The idea of white privilege isn't what offends me, and I don't argue with the fact that being who I am opens a lot of doors. What offended me was the implication of racism a general characteris

    I apologize. It was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the parent comment, and I tend to get offended by statements that imply all white people are privileged racists. Maybe that's not how it was meant to be understood.

    As an Android developer building and maintaining a larger app, I'm curious: Are there any performance hits or worrying complexity issues caused by including multiple paradigm-shifting libraries like RxAndroid, Dagger, and Butterknife?

    As an experienced Android dev, I cannot agree more. I have never had a particularly fun experience with fragments, although they definitely have their place. Custom views though... I love them more every day.

    I'm thinking the real deal-breaker for me will be the camera, which seems to be the same as the mediocre Moto X camera. Otherwise, it looks like a nice device. Nothing particularly amazing, except for stock Lollipop.

    If this truly happened, it truly is a tragedy and a crime. However, I feel that this has no place on Hacker News (or elsewhere on the internet) when it is unsubstantiated. If it isn't true, then we're all taking part in a horrible

    There are exempt salaried workers and nonexempt salaried workers. The exemption refers to overtime pay. The LinkedIn employees were nonexempt (so they were owed payment for overtime).

    Yep. I'm sitting in a beige box right now. I own it. I'm not house-poor. I just haven't put the time into re-painting or decorating much, and I just don't have the desire to put my money into things that just sit there.

    It sounds like you essentially just want a business manager. A CEO is often the face of the company, heavily delegating and focusing on the big picture rather than personally managing each staff member and handling stock. All of that may si
