"By all rights, Millennials—people born between 1981 and 1997—should be the highest-paid generation in American history. They are, after all, the most likely to hold a college degree and are working in a period of unsurpassed productiv

Didn't that happen with Marissa Mayer's accidental leak and cover-up of the Yahoo layoffs a week early not too long ago? http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/01/19/marissa-mayer-taunt...

I think this is extremely significant. As I said elsewhere in replies, the original study (or the summary brief about it linked here) gives zero insight into the design of measures they use to quantify "democracy", and leaves all

No, I genuinely don't know what is meant by "democracy" here. The BTI is a complex measure that appears to include several aspects of national development which have nothing to do with direct representation of the popular cit

I disagree. The founders of the United States very deliberately avoided democracy, as strictly defined, in lieu of a complex layering of representative government, to secure a set of values in public governance and personal life. That syste

"Democracy is declining worldwide", huh? I had no idea there were significant instances of rule by citizen majority since the Roman Republic eclipsed Hellenistic Greece, if you can even push it that late. Given that the HN forum i

I agree, and I suspect a lot of the suggestions given in these comments is post-facto reasoning. At one time as I'm sure you know, while Middle English was quite well established, Latin was the "Lingua Franca" of the "ci

Capital One has a 1.5% cash back on all purchases card. I put everything I can on it, and pay off in full very month on time. Does the prospect of paying only 98.5% of almost every price before your eyes not interest you? If not, then I don

I am telling you this from having been in your shoes: there will almost certainly be no "painless" exit if you value the friendship and the company still has potential. Work habits are a part of a person's general character,

Or the unpredictable late night hours in IT with the teacher hours that work around a child's own school year and daily schedule.

One of the points I see most overlooked in analyses of the software job market is that our opprtunities from our work product are accretive: the demand for our work grows not only as a function of the dollar demand to computerize traditiona

I think you make some good points, as do a number of your repliers. We're pulled in different directions by a number of business and technical priorities. What I see as a common denominator is a development life-cycle that expects incr

Wow - the packed version even gives asm.js a run for its money! Wonder if they'll make a CoffeeScript wrapper soon. Thanks for the tip!

Why do these JS framework comparison articles never include http://vanilla-js.com/ ? It's all the new rage, and has these other contenders beat every time when both post- and pre- compression.

Why the assumption that it's always fear-based? Personal space boundaries are also cues to kinship ties, and sexual willingness. To my understanding, this is observed even in much of the animal kingdom.

If true, that sounds like a market correction. We may lose some good talent in the process, but it would likely lead to better long term outcomes.

Developers may not be open heart surgeons, but in some cases, it's even worse. The human body can heal on its own, and leaves ambiguous traces of the work done. Bad bits on the other hand continue to infect the system, a "tiny&quo

But to be fair, and this won't be a popular comment, but I'm asking honestly, why did you take on a non working partner and child fresh out of college? You evidently have great character to overcome, and I don't know the UK s

It's an historical accident. But electricity as the flow of positive charge is a pretty reliable model outside of materials science and nano-electronics, so why worry?
