The crazy thing is that it will be very hard to find a decent 1 bedroom for even that price, realistically you are looking at $3.5k to $4k.

Yes, it is almost nothing when you look at the estimated spending required to achieve fusion: http://i.imgur.com/FR0TsYF.png

Those estimates might have worked out if funding wasn't continuously being cut. http://i.imgur.com/FR0TsYF.png

I know quite a bit of conspiracy nuts and I'm sure that some of the stuff they talk about may one day be revealed as true, but that doesn't mean that I will listen to 99% of their bullshit for 1% of potential truth. Throw enough m

Putting any time constraints on a dev test is a bad idea in my opinion. It's not that I can't finish the test in the allotted time, but knowing that I am being timed will make my brain race and do stupid things. Personally, I don&

I see people always saying this online, but the vast majority of engineers I talk to in-person work very sane hours (9-5, 10-6) and never take their work home with them.

I completely disagree. I think the web has improved in almost every way. Sure, there are shitty content sites whose main goal is to get ad clicks, but those have been around for a long time and the ads have actually become less obnoxious th

In my life I've experienced 2 burglaries, 3 vehicle vandalisms, and one time I was seriously assaulted in a beach town by 10 guys with a gun. In every one of those experiences, the police were unprofessional and completely useless. I w

My experience has been the exact opposite. I'm not a heavy user, but I've stayed at an airbnb at least 5 times now and each one of those stays were significantly cheaper than a comparable hotel, but with a way better experience in

Problem with the Leaf is that a 75 mile range is unusable for most people. A 30 mile commute is pretty common, to and from work and you're almost out. Pick up kids and groceries and you'll probably be stuck on the side of the road

Agreed. I used to be one of those people with 10 windows open with 20 tabs each thinking that it's an efficient way to work. Nowadays I never keep tabs around, if I really will need to reference it later I drop it into the bookmarks ba

That is pretty much where every frontend dev starts out and then quickly realizes that as your codebase grows and you have different types of data and events firing back and forth, things get unwieldy fast. I'm sure you think your 4k l

You can't just pull a quote like that out of context. Chappelle said the "gay sex is gross" thing twice, once was in the black bush character ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoDpghAaXT4 ) and the other was wh

You can read about it here: https://medium.com/@padschneider/r-i-p-soundflake-79f7cf5f9d... I was super bummed when it happened because I use Soundcloud a lot and their app has some serious issues. I was considering bu

The problem I see with companies providing an API on top of their service is that their core business comes first, API second. So if someone were to use their API to build something that takes traffic from their core business, they will shu

I actually think this has a ton of potential. Quick example would be documentation for some framework. Users can comment directly on confusing parts of some documentation, and after some discussion, it can be edited to fix whatever confusio

I am very hesitant to build anything on a free API like this nowadays, after seeing what happened to the Twitter API, and more recently, the Soundcloud API. I don't feel comfortable building an app using their API, and then having them

Your comment was just unnecessary cynicism. http://blog.ycombinator.com/new-hacker-news-guideline "Critical thinking is good; shallow cynicism, on the other hand, adds nothing of value to the community. It is unpleasan

I don't doubt that you can hear gunshots in the rough parts of Oakland or LA, but this idea that people in the US are constantly in fear of getting shot is just so ridiculous.

I've lived in Sacramento, Portland, and now San Francisco and I have yet to hear a gunshot in any of these cities.

Seriously, why not just wrap it in blankets, put it all into some open lid container (trash bin, hamper, etc), and leave it on your balcony. There are so many better ways to handle this situation.

This just comes down to your definition of concept. I consider a prototype as a concept car that exists to show the feasibility of the concept but it has a ways to go before it is ready for production.

They are not really competing in all of those industries, they might have a crazy project they are attempting, but they aren't really competition. Auto industry? I'm assuming you mean self driving cars, which, at this point, are s

I have built some basic apps like the to-do list using Swift and Objective-C but haven't built anything significant yet. I have an idea for an app I want to build in the coming weeks, but I'm unsure if I should use this as an oppo

Those are for different devices though. The iPhone is only on its second connector, just like Android.

Valuations are also based on future potential (or lack thereof) as well. If a company is currently having a great quarter but there is news that might impact their next quarter, you can bet their stock will drop before their financials even

How did Slack blow up so quickly? I remember when I first read about it on TheVerge, that same morning the head of our sales team messages the CTO and suggests our company try it out. Next thing I know, every other company is using it. From
