What shell game? I can buy a share of Microsoft for ~$25 and then I get a vote in how the company is run and receive a percentage of the profits. Microsoft in turn gets to use the equity to build bigger and better things. Seems pretty fair

You're missing out. The comments are a great way to filter the articles. I usually load them up before reading the story and if the most highly rated comment is a point by point evisceration of the thesis of the article then I know I can sk

Just because they have cash doesn't mean they want to dig into it, lest we forget that Google already once initiated a hiring freeze during leaner times in the advertising market.

That's not _that_ bad. I was thinking seven figures at least. I hope he doesn't bring it to Chicago though. I saw a Lotus Elise a few weeks back and winced thinking about our +20" pot-holes.

^^ this. if you're pressed for time, crossfit is amazing (well it's amazing anyway). my cf gym is full of professional people-- doctors, lawyers, and engineers and by looking at them you'd think they were gym rats.

On a related note: git-hooks seem like a better way to enforce workflow than something like git-flow which got a lot of press here in the last few weeks. Personally, I'd much rather have something prompt me and say "you're about to push to

I could write a similarly disingenuous how-to on using linux and vi to write c vs writing visual basic on my HP desktop from costco. Is there a learning curve to mastering these things? Of course. But there is a huge reward in learning them

What a fantastic way to differentiate your company. I had forgotten how much fun crypto is :) I sent the problem to a few other friends (some of whom are actually looking for jobs!).

I did point it out and I didn't down-vote him (because I was hoping he would expound on it). But you know that voting means different things to different people (and HN has gone on vast navel-gazing tangents trying to define it). If people
