This is the exact workflow we use at my company as well, and we've all grown to love it. I got a new laptop today, and because we do all our dev on a remote server via ssh, tmux, and vim, it only took a few minutes to get my new machin

> It's inefficient to do 10+ cans per person. I don't understand how you can make this claim when it has so obviously worked to great success for Sweden. The evidence shows that they are the best at managing their trash; why sh

There are different grades of GPS receivers, all licensed differently. Consumer-grade receivers have a maximum accuracy of something like 3 meters and a slow response time. There are also aviation grade and military grade receivers, which c

Seems that way. I mean, that's still be valuable and interesting for other reasons, but let's not call it a "dump of a search engine". There's nothing in there that's actually searchable! Still, nice gesture by

Glad somebody else pointed this out. I read that and thought it should have said "public" too, but the rest of the article was so strong that I started doubting myself and felt like I was going crazy.

It's satire. The whole post is a parody.

Rather than getting defensive in the face of what's a very valid criticism, why don't you work on improving your product? Being more transparent about the message that you're going to send, as well as adding the ability for the user to edit

From the article: > The reason is that Linux is smart and it does not duplicate the pages between tmpfs and its cache From you: > MongoDB touches a page in RAM which maps to a block in tmpfs These two statements sound contradictory

They respond to this on the Kickstarter page: > Why aren’t you offering a Digital Download or DVD reward? > I wish I could give you all everything you want. Unfortunately, giving away the movie could scare off the good distributors

Well, that's exactly what Peter Cooper did. Education being "as free as air and water" is even in Cooper Union's charter. With that being said, that's exactly what I would do too.

Not quite. They borrowed money to build a building, but used the leftover cash to invest in the stock market. They calculated that capital gains would outpace the additional debt interest. But then the recession hit, and they basically lost

Cooper has a $600M endowment. $120M of that is non-real-estate, and $60M is restricted.

I'm a Cooper grad -- the first two years are book learning, the second two were hands on. I built lots of fun stuff; interactive art projects with the art school, lots of robots, and even a race car for my senior thesis.

Not quite. The media saying that the loan was for playing with the stock market is erroneous. The $175M loan was to build a new building in the east village. However, when the building was complete, some geniuses decided that the leftover m

We alumni have actually asked basically the entire board and the Cooper president to step down. (Edit: though I don't believe we've made an official petition yet. I'm sure that'll happen soon.)

My co-founder and I only just started paying ourselves this year, and we've been paying our employees good wages ever since they started, last year. So yes, some founders will forego a salary (like us). Others won't. We pay ourselves when t

It's a sad day for education. I'm a Cooper alum and have been following this fiasco for quite some time. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them.

There are lots of good startups to work for; people like talking about the bad ones but rarely praise the good ones. Reading too much HN or Reddit would have you believe that all startups take advantage of talent and that it's not worth it.

I'm currently hiring at my company. If you want to have a chat we can try to see if an internship or a part-time job with us would make sense for you. Just let me know! Wishing you the best of luck!
