As a human being, it's hard not to be touched by that story.

I don't look at it as jumping through hoops, it's just as much for your benefit as it is for the company. Yes, you can quit at any time (of course, in California, you can be fired at any time also) but it's much cleaner if you both go into

I've done a lot of scraping on a variety of projects, and basically as long as you keep your scrapers from going out of control, you won't get banned.

It implies that having the skills to pick up any woman you want (in his specific case, he wants blonde haired white women) is an achievement in life worth respect. You may disagree with that, but I can assure you those skills translate to

How is that the wrong attitude? I think you should read the original article that quote is from ( http://nymag.com/news/features/asian-americans-2011-5/ ) because the remainder of your comment makes it clear you didn't understand what you'v

One of the lists of 'worst interview questions' he linked had #10 as: What interests you about our company? Which made me realize how antiquated and outdated that list was. If a company DIDN'T ask me that, there's very little chance I'd ta

I just mean that it implies that finding cheap hosting for a ruby webapp is problematic. If the purpose of that statement is to say that more places will support Python than Ruby, then it should probably be worded differently.

I thought it was a pretty good article until I got to: "Since they are often used for the creation of webapps one should consider the deployment issue. Most web hosting companies provide cheap Python hosting, but very few companies provide

That's like arguing that electricity isn't available because you don't agree with how PG&E operates. Just because you don't want to give them your money doesn't mean they cease to exist. The point remains that Comcast is still offering

And Comcast in San Francisco (at least in the mission) offers a 50mbit connect that (when I've had it in the past) works better than advertised. I think peak downloads we saw were just over 7MB/s. What's the problem?

I'm not modifying a list there, I'm modifying the privacy settings of a wall post I'm in the process of making. When making a wall post, there's a little padlock and from selecting the customize option, you can target an update to a list.

I've been working on something like this, but from a different angle at http://lifetrckr.com/ It's all functional, even though it's extremely bare at this point, but the goal is to help people distill all these things they do online into

I didn't really interpret it like that. While there's certainly situations where one feels burned out and lacking motivation, I think his point was more about entire fields of work that you find demoralizing. For me, this is mostly doing d

Group messaging is certainly not an ideal solution to it, but I think it's probably better than any focused solution. It's one of those problems that any solution that is focused on solving that problem is useless far too often to ever tak

I imagine the example is pretty indicative of how it works. Better to have a crappy example than no example at all.

I think this is a problem that's going to be solved more correctly via things like group messaging rather than a direct solution, but it's certainly an interesting problem to tackle.

Actually, I'd imagine it's one of most common ways people siphon money out of credit cards. Any self-service kiosk is probably one of the only ways to immediately turn a printed credit card into something tangible.

Considering I got a call from Capitalone this morning saying my credit card that I had on PSN was being used to buy gas in Connecticut, I think this is probably a fairly legit article. Certainly possible that it's purely coincidental, but s

Why force a click to see the result? Seems like a good way to ensure you get bogus data.
