I often wonder about price when I see great domain names like this. Sometimes they seem to boost the product and many times it doesn't matter. I saw a post on reddit about examine.com. I think the guy said he paid like 40k for the doma

The old recaptcha takes good sites and gives them terrible user experience. I tried to order tickets one time on ticketmaster and actually gave up because I couldn't get past the captcha. I hate current captchas with a passion and I ho

I work for a megacorp. I have a few unfinished personal projects on github but everything else if confidential. You're not going to find out much about me based on my github account. However, it seems to be a requirement for a lot of j

"the company got bought, the founder is a millionnaire, you get some pocket money" That happened to me. I wasn't the earliest employee but I would have liked to have more than enough to buy a used 2000 Honda Civic when compan

At 5GB it's going to be hard for my grandma to stay under the data limit and she doesn't even have a computer.

I work from home a lot, stream spotify, but don't really stream video. I average less than 100GB per month. However i could easily see how streaming netflix or other services could cause someone to go over the 300GB data usage. My larg

This is the major thing. The bad ones don't do any homeworks and basically just spam based on keywords. The good ones at the least look at my profile/resume and can articulate why I would be a good fit for position X based on my h

That's the way I read it too and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. Unless I'm missing something Google is allowing XSS for their own domains in chrome.

I'd bet the others had similar non-competes. However, Amazon is becoming notorious for trying to enforce them.

When it's pretty standard practice not everyone can just turn down the jobs. So I weight the risk versus the reward. Very low risk of them actually enforcing it on a peon like me. Reward is a keep a roof over my family's head. If

I find this too. When we were acquired we (group of employees) had lawyers come in (to a bar) to go over the agreement the new company required we signed. The lawyer basically said not to sign it because they could probably enforce it. Ulti

"2) Something like that should be a dealbreaker. No matter how much you want the job, it's effectively saying that you can never leave." Based on your username I'm going to assume you're not used to conditions in th

This is the problem I have with a lot of software. We're supposed to use redhat, for example, but don't subscribe to the RHEL repos. So I then I have to go add EPEL repos or find whatever repo the actual piece of software I want i

A coworker is doing a project in New Zealand and he loves it. It seems like the overall work environment in New Zealand is pretty good. When he told me the office didn't have free coffee a thought it was terrible. Until he explained yo

Even in the US. If you feel like you've missed out on a job based on discrimination you still have to prove it and no employer is going to actually put "too old" in writing.

The biggest problems for me having nothing to do with science and everything to do with social pressures / self control. I was on a keto diet (low carb/high fat) and lost about 45 pounds. Then I started having to travel for work a

The problem is for many people eating "normal" is what caused them to get so big in the first place. Most people in the US don't seem to see their diet as out of the ordinary even if they hit fast-food joints for every meal.

How often do you think the FDA verifies that calorie labels are correct. I'm willing to bet it's not that important to them.

by johnward 12y ago
I use MFP and weigh my food. Everyone gets caught up on the science and numbers. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the calories are exact or not. If you aren't losing weight then you trim some more out of your diet. If you are losi

Yep as soon as someone announces they are leaving the vultures come in. We are actually not even "approved" to have an external monitor based on my title.

I tried to order a mouse once. The only choice was a $10 el cheapo. I put in a request for it. Denied because I didn't spend enough. So I added a keyboard and a couple other things to meet the minimum spend. Denied again. I've had

I've tried but they taste awful. Even if I get one of those sugary carmel chocolate starbucks things I can't get past the awful taste of the coffee. Ultimately I need to just quit caffeine but every time I end up back on the wagon

I thought so too but if you look at the ingredients they both use aspartame.

I guess it matters because it might actually prove our bodies handle HFCS and Sugar differently. I have never seen that proven anywhere else.

by johnward 12y ago
For me it's not the sugar it's the caffeine. Also the taste and bubbles. But caffeine is a physical addiction that is literally painful to break.

by johnward 12y ago
I don't think it matters but chances are it's HFCS.

Other software companies are run by software guys/gals. IBM is run by the finance people and just happen to sell software/services as a product. At least that is what an IBMer explained to me when I question why some of the intern

A lot of times teams want to hire people but they are not allowed due to some other business reason like a hiring freeze prior to posting shitty earnings:) I'm guessing that or just the extremely slow process at IBM is what happened to

IBM has been exiting low margin businesses for years now so the chip announcement isn't that surprising. I don't see how cloud can be high margin because there is some serious competition in that market.
