Truly an awful line of reasoning. To add a little substance to that comment per HN guidelines: they could be being investigated now, the gov may not have caught up with their illegality yet, etc. etc. etc.

What does a "signature" look like specifically, or generally if you can't be specific? Would love to hear about what is actually getting sent to the L7 optimized hardware.

I had a similar experience. Went out, had a single drink over about a three hour period, drove home, got pulled over for speeding. I think given the time of evening they just assumed I had been drinking. They gave me a BAC and officer also

The complaint is against Google, not any particular domain registrar, to be fair. At first glance it seems like you’ve botched this roll out for the (preventable) reasons mentioned above. Wordpress, although I didn’t agree with some choices

I use both, got a free Pixel XL and my work phone is the iPhone 8 or something, not the X for sure. I have owned both Google and Apple phones in my personal life for years each, and now carry both side-by-side daily. I'll say I general

“Revealed” is really clickbait titling. Reading the article, it has very little to do with AI, and nothing novel.

When looking at something like joining yc, wouldn't the prestige make it more valuable, because of the extended network and the increased reverence shown to it by outsiders?

In this case the water jet isn't cutting anything, just spinning the wheel very, very fast.

Would love to see this analysis, I can’t myself think of how it would help.

Note the link in the article to throwaway credit card number provider (and yc company) Final is no longer valid because Final is defunct. Well, the link works, but you can no longer sign up.

I personally like the way we currently do software interviews. I got a nearly perfect SAT/GMAT through rote preparation (despite not doing so well in school generally), and brought this skill to bear on software engineering interviews.

This is essentially how Wordpress does interviews. It’s the best process I’ve seen.

May I ask if you're affiliated with Pinterest in any way? I'm reading your responses and while I have a very open mind, I feel like you're really handwaving the obvious (to me and many others) problems Pinterest causes and de

Surely there are many “actually useful” jobs that don’t require further education?

Looks like the majority of your bill -- $4.00/$4.39 -- is in hosted zones. It's $0.50/hosted zone, and you only need one for a single static site. So looks like with reasonable traffic, this jekyll setup is about $0.89/m

Cool, thought it was a generated quote thing, but looks like a front end for the quotes sitting in index.js. var quotes = [{ "quote": "Create a Crunchbase page" }, { "quote": "Share you

Woah, in all seriousness please let me know where $161k + great benefits is "hundreds of thousands" lower than similar private sector SWE jobs in total comp. I will be applying today. (I'm obviously assuming you're not c

Yeah that probably depends on your personal situation of course. But I met many 18F'ers and USDS'ers through my friends, lots of people coming on between startups for a few months, some staying for years. They seem to match your c

GS-15 is more than many pay, maybe not bay area or top, top companies. But I had friends there who made $160k-ish and had a hard time moving back to SF to mid-size startups because he would have had to take a pay cut (but with equity fillin

Not totally true, it's legitimately harder. First time taker pass rate for even people going to tier 1 law schools is significantly lower than many other jurisdictions. The addition of allowing an expanded group to sit for it does brin

Sorry I was trying to convey that I was more freelancing and working on personal projects/contributing to open source before law school, then I did purely law, then moved to SWE at a large SV company.

I did lightweight eng to law to heavyweight eng. It's really set me up (or at least changed peoples' perception of my skills) to do big picture stuff and make technical recommendations, like a CTO style role.

Sure, but it's going through your router, right? So if you were torrenting and someone else jumped on the xfinity wifi and started torrenting, it would affect your ability to use your bandwidth, right?

I do this too. I have long legs so if the person in front of me reclines, I have to as well. But otherwise I don’t recline and am very cognizant of the people behind me. One time the people in front of me reclined, so I reclined, and the pe
