Yeah, it's the lack of supply that drives salary, benefits and status for American software engineers. I do wonder about the positions that are at or below my salary that have higher status. Like the non-profit public policy lawyer I k

Soooooo to give you an argument ad absurdum, wouldn't it be ideal to have a monarchy/dictatorship so that our leaders can spend time thinking about legislation rather than those pesky elections? Another alternative would be longer

I know that 31% is not insignificant but... it's not great either. If this was an incumbent, then there's probably a fair number of people who would've voted for _whoever_ the opposition candidate was. I do like the idea of a

Yeah. I'm not a fan of football, baseball and soccer, but I'm starting to think that it's valuable if it keeps American emotion out of politics.

Man this code sucks. `detectAdultContent()` returns True if there is no adult content. And I'm not sure what adult content has to do with truth? https://github.com/anantdgoel/HackPrincetonF16/blob/1f5e7b

I have a related question for the author or anyone: How do you keep your energy up to code in the evenings on your own project, after a full day of coding at the office?

I was going to say this. I don't think you need an app to track this-- getting better and more confident in speaking isn't as easy as doing 5000 steps in a day. Toastmasters will teach you good skills for speaking, and will boost

I delivered pizza one summer in a manual. I can't ever go back. :D I really think that driving manual requires you to be more attentive... and I should look to see if traffic accidents data backs me up.

I don't think that bradleyjg is asking about the technical literacy. He's asking "What qualifies as an employee, in regards to that wiki list?"

That sounds like a crappy job to be in, I'm sorry. I've worked around people who were... negative, and were really bad at explaining things to me, and also kind of hacky. It sucked and it drained my morale. There are good places

That seems really weird and illegal. It sounds like hospitals are placating to the family. I understand that they'd want to hesitate though-- the people who might sue them are the surviving family. Living wills are legally binding doc

If you're a principles-first libertarian, then yes it's anti-libertarian. But if you're a "let's use the market and data to solve problems efficiently" kind of libertarian, then this is a nice solution.

Well, let's explain the downvotes from 1 POV. The "copy/paste" comment just willfully misinterprets how StackOverflow is used. I think that we just don't believe you. Did you arrive at every job with perfect knowle

Can't tell if you're making a joke? But this isn't about AirBnb office space, this is about whether airbnb can rent out units in SF.

We're not standing against the tide of entropy. If we're going to use a water metaphor, let's talk about a dam or a water wheel. Life is capturing energy and redirecting it-- we're still increasing entropy, but we'

Your comment is a little ambiguous--- we've built modern-day catamarans that can definitely sail upwind. I think you're saying that the catamarans that Polynesians have built were never able to go up wind.
