I used to send an email (and still do sometimes) but sometimes it seems that there isn't a point. Usually I think I just give up hope and figure an email that they delete isn't going to make a difference in the end. When it's a job that I

I like this. People always seem to say we need a law for this, that, or the other thing. I don't see much of a difference between having a law to make something legal and having no law to make it illegal. I suppose the difference might be t

The cached version worked but the site kept giving me 403 errors. Unfortunately I know so little of music/keyboards that I couldn't really tell the difference between this and any other keyboard.

Similar here. It depends on your interests and skills. For example if you were into statistics you might collect data while you play your game(s) and create something to explain it to others. As you can see I am not great at finding ideas m

Just imagine if we didn't have computers how many fewer primes would have been found. Even with computers I started wondering how they even go about testing these. I know there are multiple algorithms etc for verification. I meant in the se

There are still friendships that happen solely through the mail. I have a friend who is a pen pal with someone in prison. I don't know too much about prison so I don't know if there is a reason that theirs is through the mail only instead o

I had some issue just reading the text on the page after clicking the video. Once the video had opened for me the scrollbar on the site disappeared. It reappeared on reloading the page but incredibly annoying and confusing behavior. Nothing

I know this might seem kind of silly but isn't the success of survey monkey a sign that there is a market for what they offer? Unless there is something I'm missing, kind of like there are markets for medicine and the system could use impro

That's really interesting and something I will have to remember. My friend is from the UK so when we talk about temps (they don't get the winter we get in my area of the US) I try to convert it. I've been counting along increments of 1.5 i

I didn't see anyone post it but the link above didn't go directly to the article (at least for me). It was available in the recent stories though. The url on that page is: http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/congress-at-last-minu...

Not everyone knows their worth and some people avoid confrontation (you are confronting your boss in a way). Some managers might overlook some people (not saying they are good/bad at managing if they do). I had the experience of being unde

From the article: "Apart from the film title, its content had not been edited, as pointed out by the China Digital Times." I imagine if there were changes (even if they were small) would have been called out.

Depending on the situation that is probably ok with some people. I think a lot of it would come down to quite a few variables. I can't think of any clear examples but I'm sure there are cases to be made.

I couldn't find anything in a cursory search of google and nothing in any of the links currently here explain it. Why is it 50 cameras for the effect? Each link I've seen has the same (50 cameras). I am just curious if there is a reason th

The first half was great but the narration was not very good towards the end. I finished it though because it was fascinating. Reminds me of the birds that have elaborate rituals and when I think of the bug versions they are much less excit

You raise an interesting topic I've never really given much thought to (time vs generations). Makes me think of other questions about genetics that I just don't know the answers to but that someone must have thought of. Things like: How do

I agree 3 years is more than many. A pitfall is it was with a small company so everything I learned (I learned a lot on the job) was the way they ran things and going from what the more experienced programmers said a lot of that was not ho

I'm in the same boat. 2 yr degree and 3 yrs experience (one employer). Reading through your comment I imagine that many people are in this boat. The part that is most frustrating around HN is it seems like everyone has ideas and is a rock

I believe my website will be something similar. Not quite a blog but more like a tech journal of projects or whatever with tutorials/screenshots. Something I can look back and say 'yeah I know how to do this and I understand what is happeni

I swear I've heard libraries rent out books for e-readers. I might be way off in my memory though as I don't keep up with those types of things (or libraries). Isn't getting scraped by Google voluntary with the robots.txt? Also a question f

In this case the piracy didn't hurt the artist as they couldn't get the working files and went out and bought the cd. So even though it started with piracy they bought the music legitimately. That kind of makes me wonder how it works, or th

I know (not well anymore) someone who owned a business (multiple I think) who's said that same saying and I'm sure I've read it somewhere else. I always assumed it meant: when you have a business treat yourself as an employee and pay yourse
