Yes, Vancouver housing is incredibly overpriced. Perhaps more-so than the Bay Area because wages have kept up even less (supposedly due to Vancouver's desirability as a destination). That doesn't mean there aren't good, well-

Did we really need insider information to confirm that Windows 8 was designed strictly for casual users?

I'm not sure why you are being so defensive. I never condemned (the word you're looking for, rather than "condoned") hackers. People who like to learn on-the-fly, tinker, make things, have an important place in this wo

This is why we have regulatory agencies like the FDA and development standards like ISO 13485 and IEC 62304. As someone who has worked for most of their career in medical device development, I can tell you that anyone who is a "hacker&

We offer a FREE service to restaurant owners to increase their number of customers. Is this a proven statement or a hypothesis? In other words, are you trying to get your first users or are you trying to get more users? If you already

I don't think it's an attitude that anyone takes pride in. I can very much relate to the parent. You join a company, find out that their code-base is in an abysmal state (I would wager this is the case at most enterprise outfits w

There are some situations where the US healthcare system is superior to the Canadian one, but this is definitely not one of them.

I think the point is that if the SSDI insurance (or any other safety net) provided enough for Richard, he wouldn't be asking for donations.

Perhaps the recommended action is to write a blog post, perhaps with some more substantive evidence, and then to link to it.

The whole point of reporting the incident is that it's HR's job to track and decide whether this is a one-off rant or a pattern of public homophobic behavior, not the OP's. Say he doesn't report this incident and then it

It's not clear whether the above is intended as an impressive, rhyming, satirical tribute to the OP or if it is a creative, yet sarcastic, put-down attempt. Regardless, I want to say that "Show HN" is my favorite type of HN p

It doesn't seem fair. If the OP (drdal) had created a blog post instead, would that have made a difference?!

Are you telling me that when you do your research, you include people who are not legal MD's in your search? If not, then you've proven the point of regulating the profession.

For "programming", I would agree with you and that why anyone is free to call themselves a developer or programmer. We're specifically talking about the term "engineer" here, so it goes beyond "programming&quot

The website looks nice. I'm curious, is there any editorial process for the contributions, to verify accuracy (understanding the full verification is impossible)?

IMHO, the current state is detrimental and devalues the profession. We put our trust in doctors, for example, because we know that someone who has self-taught themselves medicine and has no formal ethics training or obligations can't j

Are you located in the same country as the jobs you are applying to? Sometimes "remote" means, within the same jurisdiction when it comes to employment laws, taxes, etc.

In many jurisdictions, the term "engineer" refers to a licensed professional. So a software engineer would be someone with the requisite education and professional experience to obtain that license and be endorsed by their local r

Does anyone else look at those graphs and get the impression that a major (e.g. depression-era) economic correction could be coming in the next decade or so?

This a nice, but misguided thought, IMHO. The closest you can get to "programming" at that age is general problem solving. 1-year olds are already constantly learning and problem-solving as it is. Basic problems of hand-eye coor

For the employer, especially, the cost would extend beyond a direct financial one. It would be difficult to pursue such a legal path against a current/former employee without other current and potential future employees catching wind o
