Personally, the only bad interview experiences I've had were not at startups, but at the big name co's. There's maybe one exception to this, a startup (extremely well funded by bay area standards) that was arrogant enough to

> Most HFT strategies don't actually do this. Buying and selling in such a short period implies a pure arbitrage, of which there are very few. The ones that do exist are generally fully exploited by the single fastest participant. I

HFT mocks the true essence of trading. That of buying or selling goods or stocks because you see the intrinsic value and care to "invest" in them. This used to give us a real picture of the public sentiment for those companies or

I'd argue that these might be polar examples and that a lot of people (maybe even the majority) fall somewhere in between. I for one cannot imagine being like the Clojure author, committing scratch-pad code into repo. At the same time,

Why should this discussion be limited to out and out software companies. Think NASA. Think New Horizons. Think about the nuclear reactors and what would happen to them when a sensor gives a wrong reading for reaching critical level. These a

I think the author is mistaken. No two car companies or software companies are the same. The software written for mission critical systems, such as nuclear reactors and even cars (think direct injection, ABS, AWD and now auto-cruise control

Thanks for the links! I'm one of those people too who likes to read 'actionable' news. HN used to be great for that.

You are one lucky person. I can't work with anything less than 8 GB + SSD or 16 GB with a regular HDD. Maybe its the result of poor habits (leaving 2 dozen tabs open at any time) and my development stack (RoR + Node + MySQL + Redis).

Nim perhaps? There's very little boilerplate but it is statically typed. Someone mentioned infra-ruby, which is worth checking out. Lastly, crystal-lang is pretty awesome. You could use this opportunity to create what is missing in the

Do they have to be profitable? Yes. Will they move to manufacturing hybrids? Probably. But they're definitely not a battery company. At least not yet.

by jagtesh 12y ago
Just like how Apple is a chip fabrication company? I don't think so. Tesla was the first company to introduce OTA updates, something unheard of in the car industry. So to call them a battery company sounds very patronizing to me.

For the person who just downvoted me, I'd like to know why. Since when is making our opinions heard a bad thing on HN? I never said agree with me. Shouldn't downvoting be restricted to offensive posts?

I think we're just making a big deal out of this. As someone pointed out, they're likely using technologies not implemented in other browsers yet. Has the OP tried using play store on Aurora? In any case, I feel Google has the eth

I'm not surprised at all. In Canada, nobody is allowed to work on a Visitor Permit (Tourist Visa). Here, the definition of work is earning money in any way. In fact, they take it a step further: you can't even volunteer for a job

I usually find it hard to digest dense information at a pace of 200 wpm or more. Just because you can read fast, doesn't mean you'll think fast.

This article promotes sensationalism at best. It is an opinionated piece mixing facts and fiction to prove a point.

While I could only donate $50, I feel everything you said is absolutely true. We must learn to live within our means and be content with a less materialistic (higher quality of) life. Universal healthcare makes this a reality. Not having to

Unfortunately, we're always on our nerves. So pre-occupied dealing with petty things, and on top of that add the troubles of a third world nation (poverty, unemployment, corruption, not so great healthcare). It's only when we get
