Whatever. People will figure out ways to game this system too.

I'm not being facetious, but are you backing me up? This bolsters my point. Equating the US subprime crisis and the vast entanglements that existed therein to the current situation in SV is exactly the kind of monomaniacal thinking tha

My thoughts on this right now are, "so what"? How much money is actually on the line? Yes, yes, there are a lot of crazy valuations going on right now into the billions of dollars, but that's off of equity purchases that rare

It's funny to me when people try to predict where either the success or failure of a whole concept will come from and when it is supposed to happen. Nobody really knows what IoT is yet. The exact same thing happened in the early days o

Not to pile on or insult US law students, but this is supported by the fact that for a long time in the US all you had to do was pass the bar exam to be a lawyer (now only two states allow this, with major caveats). Law is as difficult an o

I would like to add that you should be patient and kind to the developers with whom you are working. When they have product successes, they may call attention to your efforts as being tied to its success. This is a good thing; having your j

Read the opinion carefully, it explicitly says that the order of events is not justification enough. You are right in saying that this doesn't prohibit dog sniffs in all traffic stops. Period. However, you are wrong that stating that a

This is great news, because other than DUI check points or being stopped by an officer with a dog in their patrol-car (which is just bad luck), I don't see that the police have a way around this one. I don't have any data, but I r

It's interesting to see that recent languages are making strides towards this list. * Golang does away with inheritance and exceptions. * Rust does away with mutability, or at least makes it explicit. I wonder if a convenient language

Lila , by Marilynne Robinson, it's in the same league as Gilead . I highly recommend it.

K, you are more than welcome to go ahead and break our laws. Oh you don't feel like suffering the consequences we've set up for doing so? Then you've agreed to the social contract. Countries that have to reestablish sovereign

K, I have a hard time not guessing that this is Amazon. If it is, you can do better.

Agreed. One thing people usually don't take into account when they talk about current College ROI is the opportunity cost. Especially at non-first tier private schools the opportunity cost must be considerable.

Yeah, it's surprising too. I was programming for a good week in Go before I discovered anonymous fields and how they worked. They really need to do a better job of explaining that they have a form of inheritance in the language that al

I know Nicholas Carr can come off as an anti-technologist, but I think his perspective is important, and I think that some of his doubts about automation are warranted. Automation bias, among other problems, is going to become more and more

I know an Engineer at Microsoft who makes in the $500k+ range. Trust me, none of you would envy him (okay, some of you might). The way he does it is he's the guy who solves tough (not necessarily interesting) technical problems in the

That was the most amount of words I've ever seen anyone use to call someone else a hipster.

That's a fair point.

You know what's funny though. I know some folks at Valve, they all say that the work-life balance isn't great (not terrible, but not great). Valve does peer stack ranking in order to set compensation. From what I hear this means t

I'm sick to death of hearing about salary in connection to the middle class. How much money you have put away in the bank is of far greater consequence than how much you made last year. I have two friends, one is a Public Defender and

I agree with you and would like to add (to the author of Hippy): Why not contribute to HHVM (or fork it and improve it)? If you made a few tactical improvements to HHVM that sped it up a bit, and kept a few good ideas in your back pocket, I

You could call it a bubble, but it really doesn't matter to anyone if it pops. VC money is a rounding error in the overall economy.

I like what you are onto here. Algorithm questions get universally panned or praised quite often, but there is a good deal of nuance in fact. Some are much, much better than others. Some are pure trivia. I don't think most of us would

My dentist is B! She works ~20 hours a week and devotes the rest of her time to parenting. She has an office with two tech rooms and two operating rooms. She went to a good school and seems to do a good job imo. I could care less that she d

I actually wonder how common it is to retire early? First of all what is "early"? If it is before 65 then a good number of people do. Getting to the spirit of the article though, a good chunk of the people that I know who don&#x27
