I haven't been to a programming conference before, and I always assumed it was kinda prudish of the people who said that the atmosphere at such events should be toned down. They reminded me of the people on my freshman hall who would

Yeah, my point is that the two are in no way analogous.

America's border control system is so broken that it saddens me to see posts like this that reek of sensationalism (I mean, it's Vice ) and hide the fact that, you know, he didn't have a valid visa. I'm having trouble u

I think it's less of an explicit class warfare type thing and more of an implicit one, but it's not just unpaid internships: - Afterschool classes and clubs require parents who are free after 3.30pm to drive you there and back. -

It's hard to judge this objectively, since you seem to be painting your differences from Mr. X in a particularly "new v. old" light. A few examples: X says that we should be using "special character" separated stri

I'm not trying to assert that my experience was the standard. But the post to which I replied was asserting that the minimum cost was ten years of debt, which is also not standard. From a financial standpoint, there's little diff

...Says the man who went to school when the opportunity cost wasn't a decade in debt (at the very least). I got a great college education and graduated with a level of debt that I paid off in less than a year, through a mix of need-b

I think the rising ubiquity of the omnibar will lead to something else entirely: from a non-technical standpoint, the TLD will lose importance. You type the company or phrase into your browser and it'll appear.

My argument is that its not outside the realm of possibility that the decision was made -- either via intuition or data -- that the additional value captured by popovers is larger than the value lost by people who bounce as a result of the

Here's a notion: what if we assume that the entire staff of Esquire is, at varying levels, competent at their job? So jwz's use case is that he's an inbound link from a social media site, right? So Esquire is optimizing two t

I'm not quite as rabid as a lot of HN commenters are about this entire issue, but the following passage is near-comical: Balancing the competing interests at stake, the Government has taken a number of significant steps -- above and
