Correct, I've noticed it as well. For example this comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432322 lost me something like 10 karma. There's another one of mine similar. It was pretty awesome to have my average comment karma go from ~4

Actually, I was thinking about this again today. I'm thinking of giving him some non-technical menial task that sucks up dozens of hours of my time every month and see if he can't get it done in 45 minutes. Not in a snarky way, but in a "yo

Yes, let's not consider suing somebody who owes us over a $100k. Anybody have reasonable alternatives other than downvotes?

It's an interesting suggestion. However I perform execution end of deals (system integration, analytical methodology development, etc.) while he handles the paperwork behind the scenes. If he spends 60 minutes in direct contact with a custo

Yeah, there's one next to my local Starbucks. I've been sitting close to the window in SB so I can mooch off of McDonald's signal.

Finally. It's about time Starbucks joined the rest of the world in this. I'd like to see this happen in a couple major airports I have to deal with also (Dulles cough cough ). It's not like it really costs all that much, and I personally

Title should end with "yet again". This is like a monthly thing now. Just put some rules in place and stop mucking around with the approval process.

Most every South Korean wants reunification at some point. But the truth of it is that the current generation doesn't really think about North Korea much. Those that do cite the the German experiment as an example of a very cautionary tale

Agreed, I've found that the more time that's spent trying to shoehorn an implementation to match a spec to the letter, the longer it takes to ship. So long as the delivered system does everything it's supposed to do, the plumbing doesn't re

No, but it does have its uses. I've found it particularly helpful when communicating complicated technical decisions to non-technical management. They "feel" like it's a true technical document (even if it only superficially conveys what's

I actually found the comparative metrics more interesting than the article. Anybody know of similar metrics for boost, perl and qt's re performance?

I agree, plus the different Android phone vendors are also competing against each other. Oneupmanship shows up in the devices with a myriad of sometimes semi-incompatible device features. It's not so different than the PC world, but it incr

I think competition is great. I'm sure we'll soon see an Android phone that does iPhone 4g plus more in 6 months, then we'll see an iPhone 4gs or something, repeat ad nauseum. The real winners in this kind of arms race are the consumers. Ev
