It's interesting that the bar is so high for engineers yet seemingly much lower for musicians, models and businesspeople. Perhaps the solution is to equalize that discrepancy. Or perhaps the bar is much lower in the NYC area for those

Why don't exceptional programmers come in via the O-1 visa program? Obviously if they are exceptional it should be easy to meet the standards set by the government for the visa. There's no limit on the number of O-1 visa's th

Do the automakers still finance car loans directly? I know GMAC turned into Ally and is no longer owned by GM. I'm not so familiar with the other automaker's financial arms.

I'm pretty sure that already exists in the form of an O-1 visa. However I doubt the vast majority of programmers who get an H1B come close to meeting the standards for an O-1 visa. So yeah, if you are a really great programmer and the

Given PHK's interest in timekeeping I would guess it's going to be more accurate and precise than both ntp.org ntpd and OpenNTPD. However beyond that speculation, I don't know. It would be interesting to know.

The first car to wear the name Porsche was an electric car in 1898: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohner-Porsche It also had 4 wheel drive with the motors in the wheel hubs. However it was also prohibitively expensive.

Ahh, I thought he was referring to the majority of the comment, not just the last line. That's interesting, reading up on it a bit more, it seems to be similar to the US oil/gas boom in that it's all in shale oil. I had heard

I don't understand, does Israel export a ton of natural gas or oil from the West Bank? I was unaware that Israel, or that part of the Middle East in general had much in the way of oil or gas. Have they made massive discoveries there?

Wow, this is actually some real innovation in a stagnant industry that actually affects millions. (And it's in the part of the country commonly written off) This is far more interesting/inspiring and has a much greater impact on t

Is it possible that the drives that died were in similar physical locations? For example, if you have a dodgy power supply, perhaps the last bank of drives gets lower quality power, or depending on the temp of the case and airflow, perhaps

The search box in explorer searches binaries these days? Honest question, I haven't used it in years. That seems like it would be pretty counterintuitive for users though. Someone tries to search for the string 'program' and

Is that fee that bad compared to companies that are doing exactly this? I assume places like HomeJoy and Handy have greater than 20% margins on the services they sell. So if all the service providers start using this instead of Handy they w

MongoDB seems to be going through the same phases that MySQL did about 10 years ago with the 3.x series. It's interesting to see the progression and I look forward to these improvements but there seems to be so many other choices out t

I don't think this is targeted towards those who only need to store a small amount of data and have very low performance needs. If you are are already spending $500/mo on an RDS instance, then it sounds like this would be a great

Right but there's making "great money" which for anything that has fixed overhead is probably like 2-3x cost vs "great money" for software which implies you have 80%+ margins.
