You moved to Japan but it sounds like you still need to research Japaneese culture. Salaries in Japan are lower but jobs typically make up for it in stability.

That is already a mature technology. I prefer to use a heavy pack but cell phones are also a popular technique.

This is an interesting contrast to the US. Germany educates foreigners for free because they want them to stay. In the US it is very hard for someone to stay after going through a publicly funded PhD program. Other than exporting our cultur

So you agree with the Chinese government and think we should just censor the Internet for all Chinese citizens?

If your ISP wanted to give you good service they could also add a few Netflix OCAs to their rack[1]. Opening up the last mile could allow the competition to use this technique to improve service while using Comcast's (or Verizon's

Do you usually dress the same, and go through the full body scanners? My wife was upset that she got patted down every time at logan, and then she looked at the display and found out that the TSA didn't like the buttons on the hoodie

I am most comfortable with Objective-C. I agree that this would be better suited to a web-app, but I don't have the time to invest in learning a new language to do it at the moment.

HN discourages religious debates. Seriously though a Mac is obviously the best way to go. That or you could justfind an IDE you like and don't worry about the OS. Learning your way around a new operating system is probably overkill if

The problem is that health care is usually provided by the employer and they are not required to offer benefits if you work 30 hours a week. If there was a good way around this then I would love to work 75% time but you are likely to end up

I really didn't understand floating point numbers until I wrote an app that displays the pieces and the equation[1]. It even shows the min increment to the next possible value. Sorry it's still iPad only. If more than 10 people ev

In one of my 1st year engineering classes we put together similar models in MATLAB Simulink. It was a lot of fun, and we gradually built up the model until it included the coriolis effect, and accounted for different air densities at differ

You already have the option of paying extra for accidents that aren't your fault. Why would that be free now?

Does anyone know what my car insurance rate would do if I got a car that will let me nap or read a book on the way to work? That is one major issue I haven't seen addressed.

I think 1:1 is a little bit of a stretch initially, but should be the long term goal. The short term goal for new hires should be to match the ratio of males:females graduating with degrees which is currently less than 1:1.[1] Once we reach

For comparison in the US: My wife and I recently took about 60 days of leave (paid) when our daughter was born, but paid leave is uncommon in many industries. Federal law requires the employer to let you take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leav

A company with good family leave policies shouldn't care, or even notice if you are male or female. Part of reducing discrimination should be taking away the idea that women are the only ones who can take care of a kid!

In high school we found one even better than that. If you unplugged the coke machine after choosing a soda but before it was delivered then it spit out the soda and still remembered your money when you plugged it back in. It's interest

Online and phone transactions require shipping a product. Being able to walk out with the stolen products is much more practical.

Anyone can handle the bottom 90% of snow storms that they see. I am fine with Boston having trouble this year just like I am not surprised when things close for a few days in North Carolina for 6" of snow. Even mighty Watertown NY had

You can move a tree. Moving a tree successfully is completely different. If you are in a race to grow a 20', you are generally better off starting with a seedling than a 10' tree because they handle the move so poorly.

I am not sure why they compare it to the RPi it looks like a microcontroller board not a small general purpose computer. I feel like Arduino is already doing very well in this space but the LED array is a nice feature.

I am willing to wager that the average sales is not uniform over the day/week. Now we are getting towards a full day, but I would hardly count the hours from 0130 to 0500 as downtime for lost sales.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who doesn't think "happy hour with your coworkers every week" and "we all vacation together" is a perk.

I occasionally joke that I know the perfect diet: my wife and I went on a hard two week hike a few years ago. We both lost 10-15 lbs and neither of us had the weight to lose at the start. I make sure people know I am joking when I recommend

As the proud parent of a 3 month old, my concern is that exposing my daughter to small risks as she grows up could end in me going to jail. My wife and I joke that our kid isn't allowed to walk to the park alone until she can outrun th
