Relatively new member (less than 2 years) here. I suspect the kinds of people who have been on HN for 1000+ days and are still active commentators skew towards being fairly experienced programmers/software developers. As a result, th

You're being downvoted because you're hitting nerves (including mine). Same as if you were to say my uncle was beaten up by a gay person, so homosexuality should be banned . I realize this isn't a fair comparison, but it wor

To expand on the creator's response, all resumes appear to be printable to pdf just as you would print anything to pdf from your browser. I keep my resume as html+css and print it to PDF as needed for this very reason

That's not a guarantee they can make, since they're suggesting you share the link that contains your email address in order for people to call you. To be honest, I'm more comfortable giving out my phone number than my primary

One difference I can see is that if someone tries entering an ID of something they've found to check the reward, it notifies the owner automatically. Someone who's 'found' a wallet or phone might want to check the reward

Talking on a cell phone while driving is not illegal in some states (I'd venture to guess most). Also, in some states where it is banned, it's still allowed for people who drive as part of their job. When I was delivering pizza, s

It would be really useful for the people making the resume also. Right now the current mainstream advice is to use Microsoft Word for creation and editing and then (typically) to submit as PDF. Both of those document standards are proprieta

In a couple years maybe.. even still they'll be invisible. Which isn't necessarily a good thing when they're falling on our heads. But at least they won't be blocking the fireworks.

Unless there are literally 50+ of these, they'll most likely be completely invisible. If there are 50+ there's also a good chance of a couple collisions. Given how expensive the drone + camera + transmitter must be, I doubt this
