*Senior software engineers Also there is a 2 year experience gap between female and male devs in that position. Low level female software engineers at Google are actually paid more than their male counterparts. However, none of this matters

For me its pretty simple: Pay me what I'm worth. None of this managerial shite, just dollars. I will be happy.

Wow, what are legal prices supposed to be? 50/100/150/300 is the norm around these decriminalized parts.

Quick! Swap the cups before the grog melts through! A flood of memories just returned from the days when I would play WC1 and MI1 on my sister's piano teacher's computer during her sessions. "You are a pain in the backside, s

Probably because postgres can do what mongo does just as well, and is a full RDBMS. Take a look at postgres hstore with a gin index.

I was not aware it would take that long to pull data out of Glacier. You learn new things every day :)

I would assume (and hope) that a company of that scale is using something like Glacier to hold rarely accessed data, so that storage fees aren't incurred on having it in a hot cache.

I read the article as the complaint being that there is not an option to get a movie that was once available for rental, however is not available currently via streaming.

Nice perspective, but perhaps a bit misguided. Netflix would LOVE to have every single movie ever made by man on the service, but there is more at play than just "get the file, now stream it". The entire mainstream film industry i

How about "I have no idea what I want"? Is there a killer feature that a smartwatch would have over my phone which I'm unaware of aside from form factor? I'd like there to be a reason to buy one, because I like shiny tec

My point was to remind people that they simply shouldn't care. It's like getting mad at yourself because you don't look like that perfectly cut (and photoshopped) Abercrombie model. It's not an accurate representation of

That's just it though: No one has much of an interest of presenting anything less than a "beautiful" life on FB. What you're watching in that news feed isn't reality, it's a carefully curated set of ideal conte

One of the lessons of business should be that "The Solution" is never found in a single book. I honestly find this publication tacky.

Thanks for the insight. Was this thread then manually flagged as "noflame"? It seems that the general sentiments on HN lean toward the "very critical" spectrum whenever dropbox is brought up, which seems like it would se

As it should. We are a community voicing our opinions about a company. If we find they are doing wrong, shouldn't we say something about it?

Is there a reason the old thread was killed and this up in its place? I thought the sales page contained better information than the blog post. That aside, I feel this needs to be brought up in every Dropbox thread: Get rid of Condoleezza R

She's a war criminal. I unfortunately can't avoid produce and my pants (although I'd sure like to!), or thoroughly vet all of my local coffee shops' bean sources. I can, however, choose not to use this service.

For being a flagship phone, the GS4 is damn pathetic. I blame TouchWiz primarily, as my fiancees N4 and my N5 are both an absolute dream to use. So perhaps one of the things in Apple's favor here is the unified UI across all devices.
