I think you missed the point. Nobody is shrinking or denouncing rights because right of free speech never protected against corporate sector sanctions. You are the one who is trying to expand free speech to protect you in places that no one

The track pad has two sets of buttons. One at the top for using with the red nipple in the keyboard and a set at the bottom of the track pad to use when you use the trackpad.

Don't put too much weight into his analysis. There are folks who spend their entire professional careers studying the economy and they haven't, on average, ever correctly predicted how the stock market will perform. I don't w

I think the field is seeing a large amount of "title bloat". I've seen job postings for data scientist roles that are only looking for SQL and Microsoft Excel skills. I almost accepted a data scientist role at a small manufac

Id love some opinions on a couple networking questions I have. I'm looking for a new job currently and I'm trying to be more proactive in networking. Is it presumptuous to cold email somebody and ask them for coffee? I imagine ev

>Even if I find it quite darn interesting. Did you find it interesting to begin with? Or did you just think the sector would be a good investment and then later, after you were successful, it became interesting?

What experience are you basing this opinion off of? Regional differences in food is one of the great things about the US.

I'm pretty sure your confusion about probability stems from you not understanding the mathematical concept of a "limit". Your sequence HHT has a 12.5% chance of happening, but so does the sequence TTH and as the number of tri

>That the relative frequency converges to 50 % is obviously not true. You would have to be exceptionally lucky, but you could get heads, heads, tails repeated for ever This would violate the law of large numbers. You may end up with the

I've thought about this problem a long time, and the only thing that allowed me to wrap my head around it was to draw it out on a small piece of paper. Draw three rows of three rectangles each. Now draw a star (representing the prize)

The car you are buying for $25k today is a lot nicer than the car you would've bought for $25k ten years ago. It is more fuel efficient, safer, and will last longer not to mention it likely comes with features that were completely unhe

A broken clock is correct twice a day. I can't debunk your economic conspiracy theories in one comment, but I will make two points. 1) This article is talking about subprime loans. No one gives sub prime borrowers a zero percent intere

Are corporate accounts free or do they cost? I've always thought that they should charge every big corp that is using their platform as a marketing / customer service tool. Does CNN pay Twitter every time they read someone's

The problem is that apps in the app store have a variety of price points from $1 to $10 and they are all increasing 25%. Would you rather the title of the article be a table that maps the quantity of increase for each price point?

Honestly, which do you think is most likely? 1) Your HR department is part of a nation-wide conspiracy to prop up stock market prices. 2) Your HR department is trying to help their employees be properly prepared for retirement.

I think some HN commenters are having issue with how the map legend is labeled. The key labels darker colors as 'more fans' when they mean 'larger fraction of fans'. I think NYT chose the right methodology, they just got

Thanks for your comment. It has eased some of the anxiety caused by reading through this thread. My current job fits your description. I currently have an analyst role and I spend maybe 25% of my time building predictive models in R. I just

It is intellectually lazy to call the decisions of people you disagree with "stupid" instead of trying to understand how their priorities and principles may be different than yours.

The Thinkpad's trackpad might be worse than Apple's, but it is a moot point. Once you get used to the red nipple joystick thing, there is no going back. This probably sounds silly, but it really is a game changer once you get used
