It might take longer than it needs to, but I see this happening eventually. As low-skill jobs are automated away and cab/truck drivers are replaced by self-driving vehicles, many people won't really have a choice but to become int

fwiw I don't really see anything inflammatory in the parent's statement, or any indication that they feel the current administration is any more/less equipped than previous ones to deal with the water crisis.

"Sprig" was not a real street name; it was a bad address.

USPS is usually fantastic but, when they fail, they fail very bureaucratically. Ordered a gift with rush shipping on Dec. 20th. Arrives at the local post office Dec. 22nd, marked undeliverable as addressed the next day. I call them up and s

Super interesting to see the population's attitude shift over time with regards to privacy. Feels like even the HN crowd is starting to get worn down and accept this sort of thing as a fact of life. It's absolutely going to get wo

I agree, but the distinction is really murky. Consider the sensationalist headline "Trump Facing Impeachment for Muslim Ban". Okay, a lot of people (including politicians) are saying "yeah we should maybe impeach that guy&quo

I've unfortunately been on all ends of this -- in gifted programs throughout grade school, until high school, where I missed out because my parents (and myself) didn't know there was an application process. Conveniently, that was

It really, really, really depends on where you're interviewing though. Remember Google infamously rejecting Max Howell, the original Homebrew author? I know there has to be more to the story, but he's become the poster child for t

You mention you're self taught -- do you have an undergraduate degree? The OMSCS FAQ[1] is vague about whether such a degree is required: > "significant professional or other work experience with supporting recommendations may

This seems most likely. I've known ABC agents to be a bit overzealous -- plainclothes agents drew pistols on (and cuffed) some girls in my hometown. Their offense was carrying a case of sparkling water that I guess looked like alcohol?

I just recently spoke with a former Google recruiter who said they (personally) rejected applicants with no formal education. I've heard the opposite from other recruiters hiring for the same thing at the same company, so there's

You're right about the ritual, and the inherent limits caused by physical things (1s and 0s notwithstanding). Digging a record out and dealing with a sound system is more work than opening up Spotify. You're also not already on yo

Obviously the latter is more objectionable, but the big factors here are control and transparency. For example, I'm uncomfortable serving ads from large networks because I don't know what the end-user will see and because it'

Not always an option. Some tickets even say that the venue will not accept a barcode on a phone, and the ticket must be printed out. Recently went to a Trans-Sierian Orchestra show where this was the case.

I soooo wish there was a way to define non-Amazon defaults for a lot of things, but I get why they'd want to lock it down. I don't suppose there's an open-source alternative to hack on? "play some Christmas music" d

There used to be a site that let you (voluntarily) do this. Can't find it now, and wouldn't be surprised if it shut down. Anyway, it made the average computer sound like a jet engine. That, and the fact that the average computer i

I get what you're saying, but don't agree with the way you're generalizing. You make it sound like vocational schools are only good for getting rid of the undesirables, while the real scholars attend proper universities. Di

Interesting you compare those two groups where, in the 21st century, an anti-vaxxer is more likely to be responsible for causing a death.

Depending on the application, you can get pretty far with the Data Science Toolkit's geo data[1], some boundary data [2], and something like Leaflet JS[3]. It won't support pathfinding out of the box, but you can do (bidirectional

Do other "on-demand" voice-activated apps use this same technique? I know that Google Now, Siri, Amazon Echo, and others respond to commands like "Ok Google [...]". Those devices must necessarily be listening if they&#x2

My employers don't want me open-sourcing the work I do for them, so this only works if you open-source your side projects. I see a lot of comments here about how they would never waste their time on an exercise like this, but a small p

Early in my job search, I sent a few emails out to companies through Who's Hiring. Turns out I was a bit under-qualified for the positions (college sophomore, they wanted post-terminal-degree types), but each chat was a positive experi

Keep in mind the American public won't look at that statement with the same care (if at all). People (even Hillary, last debate) have no problem pointing fingers: "[The hack] has come from the highest levels of the Russian govern
