   'sysadmin' I used to think server/sysadmin was one job where you had to be there and that remote job was only for devs. But now with AWS and cloud computing, sysadmin for remote working is just as easy. Amazing how things cha

   The American justice system that hasn't punished Wall Street? But let's assume American justice system works. But still it seems arbitrary and not clear cut. If Rolls-Royce is banned from operating in US, does that mean Boeing won

   Rolls Royce and Samsung are not American corporations? Or does the law penalize American subsidiaries of them?

   Yup. Every startup bio story and advice hypes up how much you have to have good communication with customers. It must be all those MBAs that flock to these companies that don't read up on HN.

   I changed permission on the entire server (with hundreds of customer data) accidentally when I left out a space in the bash command by accident. Once I realized what I had done (took me 1 sec), I got that sick feeling. I had to go to the ba

   Another unexpected irony due to the supersonic jet. Boeing had put their A engineers on the supersonic jet project while B engineers worked on 747. Today there are documentaries celebrating the PM and engineers of 747. None for the cancelle

    My friend is fairly convinced old factory sites in Silcon Valley with very toxic chemical is the reason for higher rate of medical issues in kids growing up there.

    Who knew? American colleges now actively condition kids to think limiting free speech is ok if it's against racism etc.

    I disagree that South Korean shipbuilding industry destroyed British shipbuilding industry. It was more Japan that started the trend.

    Kinda expected. Any organization that requires no accountability (meaning occasional layoff sometimes) from members will breed people that do nothing.

    I've read some articles in Korean press that suggested AlphaGo team picked Lee as their match and not Ke Jie (currently #1 ranked, 19 years young) because there's a lot more public records of Lee's plays over his much longer

    Lee is 3rd ranked as of now. He was 1st for almost 10 years before that. Ke Jie is 19 years old. Lee has been a pro for nearly 20 years. Lee is not old but certainly not young. Go game prodigies seem to peak when early 20's, much like

    Forget about tech supporting your parents to see the gap. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to explain to my wife (elementary school teacher) why I need to spend much of my spare time on my laptop to try to keep up in the IT/tech

    Autodesk once had best office layout. Individual glassed in office with room for desk/chair and even 2 chairs for visitors. Even junior workers one had them. Returning to it would be some good investment for the future.

    Few lessons I can draw from here. This is another case of if something is too-good-to-be-true (make millions with little or no capital investment up front), it is indeed too-good. If there's a low barrier to entry, you can bet the comp

    I agree the lawsuits caused apple more damage. It actually brought more attention to samsung. And possibly more sale. 'Apple felt threatened enough to sue samsung? Than samsung must be making phones that should be good enough.'

    'game industry'. Whenever I hear that term, I shudder at the idea of working loong days and nights and weekends the industry seems to require.
