You really think "you're grounded" would have helped in this situation?

You're 100% right. I completely forgot about the "you people" line. And now that you mention it I do recall Don sort of looking at Sal with disgust. It's hard to tell though if that disgust was because of intense homopho

First I want to say that I agree with you but there is one point that I think they treated more subtly than you describe here. When Sal was fired it was not, imo, strictly for not entertaining a client. If you recall, Don first discovered S

This question is bait for HN. Whether it's a huge pain or not (I happen to think it is) the "dont use a dynamic language for large projects" crowd here is very vocal and they will certainly tell you it's an awful experie

> The idea that services like Uber without the drivers would make car ownership obsolete drove those valuations. Did investors really believe that? I don't know a single person who believed that years ago when the pre-IPO valuations

I keep seeing people say it was in the edge of bankruptcy. If that's true why did Musk pay 44 billion dollars for it?

This should not be a surprise in a world where electricity demands are sky rocketing and municipalities are asking people to conserve power. If you have internet connected devices that can be controlled remotely by someone who is not you, l

I got downvoted yesterday for implying this. Is it true that her sentencing was "right in the middle?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33963823

Yes 11 years is a long time to be imprisoned however I think it was in the low end of what she could have gotten which is why people say she didn't get a long sentence.

What I've learned over the years is that X can be fun but X industry can be less fun and sometimes mindless, boring, or even soul crushing. Early in my life I was very into fashion and so I opened a store. Fashion was fun and interesti

I's kind of incredible how common this specific kind of vulnerability is. I have to assume the developers of these systems just hope that no one will notice?

Perhaps I misunderstood that part of the article. I understood it to meant that to be risk neutral one must be willing to do both but I wasn't seeing examples of both in the article. I was seeing glaring examples of "extreme"

I've seen this linked many times but only just now got around to reading it and... this is really embarrassing for the author. Never mind that the guy who he says will be a trillionaire one day turned out to be a fraud. The writing its

I find posts like this inspirational. The explanation makes me feel like I could have done this despite lacking a lot of knowledge about the hardware. Thanks for sharing!

Who said that kotlin requires intellij? Not a rhetorical question. I've never heard that claim before. Afaict there's nothing about the language that would make it impossible to use in another ide.

JetBrains IDEs are the only dev tool I pay for as well. I write kotlin professionally and for fun and the Intellij + Kotlin experience is the most I've enjoyed writing code since my early days learning Ruby.

I can definitely hear it when I'm performing. However even as a dj if I'm on the dancefloor having a good time it's mostly imperceptible.

It's pretty incredible how bad nearly all new turntables are. I have a 20 year old pair of 1200s that are better than just about anything you can buy today. With that said... two of my favorite djs right now, who are talented vinyl djs

My guess is that it has something to do with whether or not a trip can be legally flown by an airline employee given the amount of hours of flying time they already have clocked for a given period.
