Not possibility of death, but the sense of danger. An adventure needs a certain level of danger or it's boring. Then there's the accomplishment, doing something nobody thought of or tried.

I agree that the P&S cameras have been made obsolete by phones, yet it is all about the sensor size and the geometry and physical size limit the phones in that regard, unavoidably. The low light performance, zoom, etc will suffer. I thi

Whatever's the cost, Uber should make it right for the guy's family.

How did you figure that it would be "shut down" and what does this mean in practical terms?

I guess except that it's not about some stolen files, but rather about people. Uber has the guy who built the Google's self driver tech, which is what really matters.

Uhm... A server side session Web apps is pretty basic stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_(computer_science)#Ser... This existed since the Perl CGI times. "Bizarre practice", wow.

Soaking in most springs in the Park is illegal. However, the illegality is not based on the level of danger for a given spring. Soaking is a great idea if done carefully. There are several places in YNP where it is allowed, officially or se

I have worked from home for about 9 months last year. It did not go particularly well, but now I miss it. I think for a software engineer to be able to work from home and not be impaired by it, most of the team has to be remote. If you are

Interestingly enough, the article you refer supports my point: the alternative to H1-B is jobs shipped overseas entirely. In fact it states that shipping jobs overseas is the end game. The stories I hear about are very often the IT departme

Of course they ought to just increase the number of H1-B visas... They have always been a drop in the bucket on the technology market, even in the worst times (2001 and 2009). These are the future immigrants that we want in the US, highly e

With all the truth in this article, it is worth to realize that there are large number of people that dedicate part of their life to being nomads and adventurers and do it authentically. There's a huge spectrum of adventurers from week

Go ahead and visit Salt Lake (I am comparing to Colorado). I think they either don't have the money or out of principle do not maintain their roads. That's the economy. The geography is not favorable either. Salt Lake sits in a bo

More likely this exists simply because Google could afford it. If something comes out of it, fine; if not no problem. When money is no object why not let some engineers play with experimental tech.

I did not find this video problematic at all. If anything, I am impressed that Kalanick went for a conversation with the driver and on the same level. This could be a cultural difference, but I perceived the driver tone as aggressive and bu

I meant the San Francisco offices. I think this office is something like half (corrected) Asian American. I thought about this a bit more and it makes even less sense. I have worked for a number of old generation US companies and some were

Without getting into any details this: "Once in a group chat, team members referred to a new Asian American recruit as slanty eye joe" seems very strange to me. The Uber tech org is like 80%+ foreign born, this makes pretty much z

The less maintenance a modern car gets, the better. That is, aside from the oil changes and things like brakes that wear out can be easily done DIY. In fact, once you start to service your car, that's where the problems start. We are n

Not "belts" but timing belt. Check if your car has interference or non-interference engine. The replacement interval is often at 120K miles, after which it becomes a gamble, but may last 200K.
