I have been to them, but not specifically for technology. I was on a mailing list called Q-Insights and it was good money during college. Basically you do a screening survey online first to see if you match the criteria (age, marital status

I don't know which industry has the fewest, but test preparation might have the most. When I worked for Kaplan Test Prep, we even had acronyms for acronyms! So most tests are acronyms (GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, etc.) but we even had

I have worked 100% remote for 5 years now. 100% remote is quite different from partial remote. Even 1 day a week in the office means you have to live near the office. Even an hour away from SF is going to be very expensive. 100% remote mean

Not cool blaming an intern...there should have been a process in place to prevent anyone from sending emails to real users in an integration test.

Email is broken...there should be a built-in way to filter who can email you, and a way to block unknown senders by default.

I think it was inevitable...when I first created my HN account in 2009, accelerators were a novel concept, and each new cohort produced exciting new startups that I was eager to watch and wanted to emulate. After a few years it felt like al

Depends on the type of app. React Native might be better for something resource heavy like a video app (we use it at Cameo for mobile, and regular react for web), but if it is something like a todo list or email app, a wrapped webview would

You have learned a very valuable lesson about not giving a number first. Let the other side give a number first, and if you absolutely have to give a number, give a wide range (e.g. $30-$100). That said, you cannot change the past. What you

I wouldn't recommend actively trying to find an office romance. The best way to find romance is to not look for it. Get out and do things you enjoy, and you'll find women who also enjoy these things and maybe you'll find a co

Maybe the premise is flawed...it may cost less to fight climate change. For example, looking just at greenhouse gas emissions, transportation, electricity generation, and agriculture account for roughly 2/3 of emissions. I have solar

It depends on the type of data. If you are collecting only the necessary data to provide value to the user (e.g. ask for GPS access for a mapping app), then you can assure the user that data is collected in order to provide the service and

As of Friday, 101.8 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, 31 per cent of the adult population. Wouldn't 101.8 million be 31% of the total population of 328 million? That is just under 50

It works best in bumper to bumper traffic. It basically stays in a lane and follows the car in front, slowing, stopping, or accelerating as needed. It's the closest you can get to being on train tracks.
