   But I do care about control and privacy. I have a few clients who I likely will be moving to Google Apps but it's not really what I'm looking for. That's $50/year per user , which is a fine price for the amount of spa

   Actually reading the comments further might give you a more somber impression of what "working on it" is in this case. That said, I'll stay optimistic since my work doesn't depend on it and I'm happy to have another

   Wait a sec, that sounds like Japanese innovation! (I guess my point is that the reverse could happen anywhere... and I wouldn't mind tasting Kobe jerky if given the chance.)

   It's reasonable if you believe that it can also work as an alibi. It would be like state level fraud protection for those who do opt in, and obviously a mark of suspicion towards those who don't.

   Aside from fashion, I think a tie generally reminds people of their own posture. I'm prone to some heavy slouching day in and day out but a tie quite literally keeps me straight (a bent tie feels... displeasing).

   This dead post on HN made the same claim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5692179 Was there a date on Nelson's? I don't really buy it as being correct, but hey.

   That's how I buy a lot of my books currently (estate sales, library clearance, etc) but regarding the sliced pages: I have a very large personal library that can't be damaged or marked up for a variety of reasons. It just so happens that I

    Thanks, I haven't had much luck with that here in NYC but maybe I've been talking to the wrong people. Also I would guess that people on HN might have titles a little closer to what I'm looking for.

    Georgia Tech has an excellent reputation for engineering (and consequently CS, but I roam in different circles so no specific details), but I'm sure there are much more qualified people here to tell you the same thing. They are not Stanford

    Only downside I see in the FAQ has to do with this: they say the expected time for completion is still 3 years, though they suggest people may take up to 6 years if necessary. Udacity has been tho most flexible so far in letting people acco

    Divs are a like a club too, except the dinos are extinct and so they're expected to be generic. Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for something that doesn't exist, but even when looking at clean, clever, or well-architected markup I can't he

    Oh-my-zsh is responsible for being slow as hell. If you really want plugins, Prezto probably still has what you want and is significantly faster on startup. (In my experience, with very minimal customization.)

    Try CUNY if NYU is too expensive. I'm not sure how it varies from school to school, but you can see Brooklyn College's list here ( http://qn6sj3qc3h.search.serialssolutions.com/ ). I just logged in and apparently still have access (I haven'

    - In my opinion, a corner cam is most useful for deterring break-ins and "the bank", whereas an ATM cam is only useful as a fraud prevention measure. Both advantageous to a bank but in different ways. - Cameras are already on every bank ATM

    I use both regularly, but considering the investments involved I would say that I "switched to emacs" and vim is simply there when I need it. I agree with your tips but the one thing I would add is that if you're worried about porting your
