You can still maintain offices, but they become more like collections of team rooms, private offices (ex: for phone calls), unassigned cubes (for telecommute folks) and assigned cubes (for office folks). Maybe you don't need as much office

Except that the mineral deposits weren't 'just discovered' http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/06/no-the-military-didn... Considering the US position in Afghanistan, this seems like a strategic plant on behalf of the Pentagon/govt to jus

Since Google is the #1 search engine by a extremely wide margin and this change is obviously a response to competition, and the change is poorly implemented, it becomes of interest to the HN crowd. Consider it a water-cooler topic - not ear

As far as ruthlessness, he's certainly not out of line with the early 20th century industrialist-philanthropists, though probably fewer people died because of Microsoft practices than industry strike-breaking and labor conditions.

Add to that that the oil companies were actively lobbying/bribing the regulators for minimal restrictions and that the platform was drilling below the depth they were permitted to drill at (which can't help the cleanup efforts). Short straw

You could say the exact same things about the United States in the 1800s. Part of the US expansion and industrialization came about through stealing British inventions and running with the ideas.

You should kill and resubmit this - too good to pass up and it's not getting the attention it deserves.

Random side-effects are a part of reality. It's dangerous to assume that corporations deploying GM technology: a) have accounted for dangerous side-effects, b) are concerned about anything beyond the bottom line. For example, Monsanto's Rou

Flagged - enough with HN turning into the pile-on of the week (whoever is in the news - Google, Apple, Facebook - becomes a swarm of HN posts, amping the noise to signal ratio).

You don't. No worries there, you're just starting. Find something that inspires you and write code around that (do it in your favorite language or use it as an excuse to learn a language). Do a small project, do many small projects, do proj

As a fellow film lover, TS2 was enjoyable and I expect TS3 will be as well (in the sense that even the worst Pixar film is better than many other attempts at animated storytelling, at the very least in visual/audio quality).

If you could guarantee money from extending an existing franchise, wouldn't you? It's not like Pixar is releasing sequels every year or two for all their movies.

I didn't either - in path params seems like an interesting way to address issues that can come up when devising RESTful URL schemes (rather than relying on query params only).

Posted because it's an interesting picture technically, because it's bizarre (to me) to see a city like this in a desert (yes, Vegas is bizarre too), because zooming in, it's almost impossible to see people (contrast with any major NA/Europ

Do your services use SQL databases? If so, how do you coordinate service code deployment that also requires database changes?

An argument for tests. In a team (>3 developers) on a project that will have a lifespan (1+ years) where the cast of characters will change over time, tests provide continuity. The tests specify how functionality is meant to behave. Cha
