Isn't it just a PR stunt? When she took over everyone was praising Yahoo and I'm sure investor confidence went up. Now that Yahoo is spiraling anyways it looks bad in retrospect, but if Yahoo had even managed to hold steady somewh

I think I would be one of your ideal customers. I have a plethora of subscription services that i'll either periodically cancel and renew, or just permanently forget to cancel. What does your service offer that scrolling down my bank s

The reason I love Go is that every time I pull it out, I write a small amount of it and it runs beautifully. For example my company has a critical micro-service implemented in ~300 lines of Go, it's been running for six months now with

Also you never talk to your landlord for good things. It's almost entirely for bad things like late rent, etc.

I've recently started a diet and one of the most helpful things I've been doing is looking up the nutritional facts of meals and drinks that'd I'd usually write-off as "too insignificant to matter". One of thos

If it was just a question of hardware performance the PC would have crushed consoles long ago. Form factor matters, in fact it's one of the reasons mobile took off in the first place.. and it's one of the reasons mobile gaming is

Well we've long proven throwing money at education is an effective strategy [1]. Many existing elementary, middle, and high school teachers are more then capable of teaching computer science [2]. This will surely be a smart usage of th

Damn. I underestimated GCE. Thanks for doing the research, you cleared up my naivety on this. The per hour pricing is especially surprising.

I think the biggest reason is that in most Western markets buying a home is a fantastic investment. In the Bay Area at least it lead a lot of families to a good pile of generational wealth.

Cloud providers pricing structures don't usually shine in edge cases, which I believe this project qualifies for. I would imagine the total cost to be prohibitive for the average hobby user and that the author neglected to mention it t

This is a very, very, very, common problem in American college towns where students frequently have to move on short notice. It is very common for the local homeless and impoverished to idle outside dorms, apartment complexes, or rental uni

They gave a few hundred people $42 a month, and deducted $1.40 for every day they didn't reach 7,000 steps. That's hardly threatening.

Well by afford I mean can afford a 30-year mortgage on a $1.2m home. Assuming this imaginary person spends his decade or so in the $130-200k range (solid career advancement, probably overly optimistic) and shells between $10-$30k a year int

It's expensive to live in the Bay Area. Expect > 2.5k/rent + utilities + car payment in most situations. However at that salary it is completely manageable if you keep your other expenses down. If you're not coming out of

This was down voted but I think it adds to the discussion. Even in the "utopia" of SV (as some people seem to see it) boss can say something a mile over the line to Google executives and come out fine, but if an employee so much a

The performance improvements coming with Angular 2 are going to be a huge boon to Ionic's historically clunkier parts like routing, as mentioned in the article. My company's experience with Ionic has been superb and we are really

That was a beautifully honest blog post that shows a glimpse into the souls of a lot of software engineers. It will probably get caught in the wash because it doesn't follow the optimistic, mostly-pc, mostly-fake, ethos of hacker news,

I feel like all these python to javascript transpilers will be used as a crutch for those who know python but not javascript. The problem with that is javascript has spent well over a decade developing tool-chains, conventions, and best pra
