In Maryland, 90% of SWAT deployments were to serve search warrants, with two-thirds through forced entry. I'm sure you could go state by state and find similar percentages. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-

There's a local company where I am that still runs an AS/400. They're hiring a junior dev with 1 year experience in both AS/400 and RPG. Would you recommend taking the job? I imagine it's pretty good job security. O

What would you suggest we use instead? I believe this post was made in response to this thread[0] in which you did not comment. I am all ears if you know of something better. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1406678

Switch to what? Everything else costs quite a bit of money (buying songs individually). Or you could pirate your music. Either way, it takes a shit ton of time to build up a halfway decent music library from scratch. Especially when the con

Any hostility you're "feeling" is a result of your own projection. Only a child keeps whining about his feelings on the internet. Grow up. I know you're not new to HN. You have a decent amount of karma. You can't do

If you don't have something constructive to add to a conversation, you should stay out of it. You and the other two comments "informing" me that other car models use center mounted dashboards are at best a distraction from th

You're the third comment like this so far. I don't care what Scion does or does not have in the middle or otherwise. I've never owned one and most likely never will.

I don't like it at all. Personally, I want a screen that displays the speed and the battery status directly in my line of vision, not on an LCD screen off to the right that you can't read in direct sunlight.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Usenet was federated across beefy corporate servers. No single user had to walk around with the entire Usenet archive on their laptop.

I think screens themselves could get bigger, but the devices themselves are as big as they'll ever get. Bendable screens are already a reality, now we just need to get them to make sharp folds. Then you could fold your screen up and pu

Originality? Individuality? Or creativity? If you have 100 applicants and 99 of them all ask the same questions but the last one asks slightly better questions, doesn't that give the edge to #100?

People are narcissistic by design. Social Networks were created to harness that narcissism to make money. I argue that there are a lot of other 'social networks' on the internet in a technical sense. You had profiles and added fri

Being rejected on "culture fit" is a generic response companies give because they don't want to risk a lawsuit. It's not the actual reason for the rejection.
