Part of the trouble is that the best people are well employed and busy working. They are in high demand. They aren't going to do puzzles or beg you for a job. You have to find some way to meet them and convince them to work with you.

I feel like my biggest sparks come during times of stress. Maybe it's the brains way of relieving the stress. So a crazy week were I do 60+ hours of something I don't want to do, I'm yearning to work on that side project I've been neglectin

I've done it. Ruins the sex life. Of course, everything in moderation. Maybe dedicating a couple of days a week to 4am wake ups would work. But sleep isn't something of a habit and it's hard to keep sleeping at different times.

I find that funny because I looked into replacing my Comcast HD box with my own box and found out that it is nearly impossible. It seems like they want to maintain control over what happens with the content, and to do that, they have to pon

This announcement is contrary to a statement made in July of 2011. Do they suddenly not give a shit about other customers service if it's xbox live traffic? "If someone's behavior is such that it degrades the quality of service for others n

Java. It's not the language itself. I don't really mind any language. It's the insane amount of time it takes to iterate on a large project. Absolutely miserable. I don't know why they don't have a compilation system more inline with what p

I'm willing to bet that this type of behavior is a lot less likely in a start up. Something about assholes and corporate jobs. I'd like to think nothing like that would ever happen where I work. Does any women on hear have any first hand ex

The free market is meant to make prices as low as possible, not as high as possible. That is why we have laws against monopolies and encourage competition. The argument that things should cost as much as people will pay for them is a pleasa

I think pg is spot on. Record companies make money on distribution. They are no longer needed. Artist always have made more money on live concerts, with a few notable exceptions. The thing record companies are trying to hold on to is contro

Thanks for posting this, and thanks everyone for upvoting it. It's even better the 4th time it's made it to #1 on hacker news. I gained some new insight into how TV sucks and the Internet is awesome.

I disagree. I'm definitely an adult and I don't think copyrighte infringement is stealing. We can have an intelligent discussion about the morality of copyright infringement, but calling it stealing is spinning.

I find it interesting that technical arguments will be heard but there will be no debate about liberty and the 1st amendment.

When I worked at a consulting firm, I received a 20% bonus. It is great for retention. You are reluctant to leave in the 6 months leading up to your bonus. It's better for the employee to just get a bigger salary.

To argue that he deserved it is to cede the point. It was what he signed up for and google was right to respect that agreement.

You are confusing open source and free. You don't have the right to redistribute open source software. Free software guarantees this right.

So Mac/VMWare/Linux failed and the solution was to move to iPad/Linode? Did you consider just installing a Linux distro? Why do people who develop on Linux all day need OSX? I don't get it. What is the killer app? It's more expensive and

Anyone can step in and do what they want with the "movement". I don't think RMS has a monopoly on speaking about free software and would probably welcome anyone who wanted to be an activist. But even if he didn't, it matters little. If you

Isn't it documented that people in the pecking order constantly have to assert their position or risk losing it, while people at the top do their best to give the appearance of not caring about the pecking order? We should do our best to us

This will also drive up the price on "free" hardware, since it will be different and produced in smaller quantity.

I always suspect the entertainment industry behind stuff like this. I know the only reason Netflix doesn't run on Linux(even though it runs on ChromeOS, which is linux) is because it is open source. With "secure boot", they could be sure th

That is a very odd interpretation of Harrison Bergeron. You believe that it's about taxes and the welfare state? I find that hard to believe considering Kurt was a self proclaimed socialist.
