Baking is such a wonderful way to relieve stress and there's so much chemistry involved that it's great for geeks, too. A good book (available in ebook) is The Bread Makers Apprentice: https://www.goodreads.com/en&

I think that the first-class Google Fi devices have shown a path where CDMA and UMTS networks like Sprint and T-Mobiles can coexist on the same phone. Basically, the phone uses geolocation and a database of signal strength to determine whic

All Tesla climate is non-physical. All newer Volvos are except for the defrost controls, as well.

I was agreeing with you until you used the phrase "diversity hire" in your comment. I think that you could have made the same point without inferring that the hiring bar has been lowered for employees in underrepresented groups. T

I agree with a few things you said but you're also wrong about a few things. FAANG compensation is much higher than you think. $200k/year (including stock) in the Bay Area for new grads is common. Yes, the prep for these interview

This comment is off-topic: the article is about physical buttons for non-safety-critical systems. E.g. the article explicitly mentions climate control.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. As it happens, I also grew up poor. I found the book extremely interesting so I wouldn't discount it just because you had that experience.

Poverty does two things to us: limits our degrees of freedom (available choices) and diminishes our decision-making capacity (a famine/crisis response[1]). In extreme cases, poverty leads to sleep deprivation in which we cannot make ev

I appreciate that you brought your own perspective to the problem with your comment. I would have liked to have seen more clarity on how victims could be helped to choose to escape.

This thread is not the appropriate place to propose a policy solution because the parent article is about a sad topic with lots of terrible suffering. To make policy proposals here would be insensitive. And, no, I'm not a libertarian.

This is the most HN comment I've seen in a week. You tried not to blame the victim and acknowledge poverty is the trap but then came off as doing that in the context of personal responsibility shaming. Poverty or the fear of poverty is

> Is there a particular kind of asset, the collapse of which will seal this drop as a proper depression ? That's a good question. Right now the market is reacting to on-the-ground realities. The follow-on question you are asking get

Hi, I work at Google and replied to you way up-thread. I built a CI system used by ChromeOS based on Repo and even contributed some changes to it. While I don't like it much, it is useful. You misunderstand or are misinformed about man

This kind of comment isn't helpful. Of course, there have been ways to copy large files around since there were networks. What's new in this protocol enhancement is that this works within the context of a Merkle tree-based technol

The OP's relayed complaint was that they would not tell him what he would be working on. A good reason not to accept a job.

It depends on what you are measuring. If we go purely by web traffic volume, then whatever YouTube is doing is what's "won". AFAICT, that's VP9 to everything that supports it which seems to be all desktops and new Androi

I forgot the most important one: per-output scaling (integer or fractional). This allows you to have your HiDPI laptop display and an external 1080p monitor set to different scale factors.

Here are the real, user-visible benefits that I am aware of, at the moment: * Fractional scaling of monitor outputs * Multi-touch gestures for e.g. switching desktops * Security sand-boxing of apps * Tear-free video As the orig
