At it's core, gambling is gambling. The person mindlessly pulling a lever/button while sitting at a slot machine for hours on end, isn't really immersed in anything with regards to the surrounding environment. The OR could ma

Does it matter? This is a tactic by the US government to make the public forget about crimes they're committing against the public's privacy.

In that case, no currency has intrinsic value. If we went back to the days where I'd trade you 2 bags of rice for a fish, those things have value and other use. Why does everyone fall back to the default argument that the USD is "

Methinks you've misunderstood me. If I had money to invest, how would I do so in this area? If I buy stock in Google, I don't learn search engine technology. When I buy Apple, I don't learn hardware design, etc.

The topic of debate is whether bitcoins have intrinsic value. Taxes are not the deciding criteria here. If the government did away with taxes, currencies (whether it be USD, Euro, BTC, etc) would still have value as an instrument used in ba

That's what's broken. The fact that "value" is irrelevant. Imagine life without utility companies and imagine life without FB. It's absurd.

I had the exact same thoughts while reading the article. Cerny created MVPs of games, got feedback and would pivot/change based on user feedback. And he did this in the mid 90's!!

OP, what software are your team using currently? Maybe the inability to make it stick is a mismatch of your team's workflow compared to the paradigm's used within Asana or Trello.

Just because your use of a computer is 'basic' enough to be serviced with bargain spec machines, doesn't make the Apple stuff "overpriced" as you are trying to imply. To those of you saying Apple h/w is overpri

I contracted for over a decade and I think this is pretty spot on. I'd also note that there is no career progression. You can contract and grab lucrative low hanging fruit immediately, or work perm and build a career that may be more r

I'm not a genius but I think the answer to your question is a simple, "contribute $21M".

I agree. A 13" rMBP w/ Haswell and 16Gb ram to me is the perfect balance of power, function and footprint. I don't have high hopes for Apple increasing the max to 16Gb though :(

Are you implying there is debate on whether he "leaked" info? It's obvious he did. The real issue is that he revealed what the NSA was doing.

Currently they are at $3.2M which is only 10% of their target. Yet the $600 level is sold out. If they had removed the cap on $600 orders, I could see this getting funded. But not if they expect the bulk of their money to come in at the $83

Why would you "wait for another MacBook Air update"? They just updated it 2 weeks ago with the Haswell chips.

There is no such thing as starting over. As you age/mature, your objectives will change. What you are doing now is simply evolving your career path as your life goals change. Don't feel despair and never regret the past.

That's nothing. When I was 16, I carried gas in a pail uphill from the pump to the car, and uphill back to the pump again, in the snow and in my barefeet for $5.9/hr

The idea behind pinpioneer didn't come from the 16yo. The 16yo is apparently a good programmer and was hired to do the development of this product. Did you write the Chairman of McDonald's to ask the same question because they have employed

Write 'intelligent' automated tests (you're a HN'er so you have these already right ;) and schedule them to run CI on your production site. That may prevent any adaptive processes from caching.
