If that is your issue, then a better way is to have your own server, encrypt your emails and ask your contacts to do also. Once your mails are hosted once on a server, you can't know where you data goes and how long it stays there. One minu

A couple points... - An inbox zero usually loads faster - An empty inbox allows to concentrate on real work items rather than searching reading material in the inbox - It's the electronic equivalent of a clean desk. It makes a clean impress

Why is MIT so underrated against Harvard? I thought the MIT would teach top computer skills that are so valuable today in banking. Is the CS program in Harvard so much better? Also looking at the alumni, MIT has produced quite a few success

Tell that to the Amazon and VMWare CTOs. It is also a buzz word, but there is a real underlying change in it - which is the change of IT from a former "custom setup" to standardized automated processes. And it's making waves in companies

The term cloud was already here in 2007... So this fad is there for the fifth year. I'd rather consider it a long time trend. In the end, like client-server or mainframe, it will stay in the background but be masked by newer trends.

Thanks the correction! I've only used european maps where the deviation is usually small. Local bias...

ICAO VFR maps contain the magnetic deviation as information - you just have to apply it to all your directions and be able to remember in what direction you have to correct ;) Not so trivial under stress. Anyway, on US and EU latitudes, the

The worldwide ICAO regulation defines runway directions with the magnetic north. Makes sense as GPS is not considered safe enough for main navigation, it's only here for additional help (in theory at least). Also traditional radio navigatio

Yes... Told differently, index fund is great because basically their cost difference with a managed fund are similar to the difference in return. Take a managed fund costing 0,5% a y more than the index fund, the managed one will have to do

Also because it has just been so. In the old times, you used to do the same thing as your parents, and capabilities didn't usually go obsolete during the course of one's work life, even less if that was at a college level.

Wouldn't you trust the rest of the team to cross-check that? I mean, if no ones sees that the fire escape is blocked, not only the lazy folks are your problem...

The basic problem with inequality is that it kills the middle class, which is one of the prime engine of growth. Riches only consume a small part of their money, and invest the rest, which produces easily investment bubbles, but not much gr

It's not controversial because people (all - democrats, republicans, rich and poor) don't seem to have a clue how much unequal the US is. It's been a HN submission today: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2039503 . If they really knew,

I am not so sure about that sentence: "It seems the clear winner for generating wealth and technical innovations (which are practically the same thing). I think speed is the reason. It's hard to create wealth by making a commodity." Actuall

Other than Google, what are good alternatives to Delicious?

If that product doesn't get certified, there's probably an opportunity to integrate that feature in existing glass cockpits. I mean, why not a "Land Safely" red button on the passenger board? The reliable autopilot/GPS/software is already h

I agree with most of what you wrote here. One point I would like to add though is that there were massive amount of military investments that went into plane development during both world wars and the cold war, allowing complete new feature

Same here... Why would I use all these special (quite untested compared to GWT, Dojo) JavaScript libraries, instead of using Dojo - which has already a fine module layer as well as a build system.

Of course there is no objective choice on that, but to give a bit of counterweight to that, I would note that Assange didn't leaked the information. He published it. He was not the one risking prison for getting the data out of the US netwo

Now that's some very useful hack! Thanks!

There are some pretty (free) good tools out there to test against most injections methods. I'm not saying having a conceptual grasp of security hurts ;) All in all, you can't know all methods - and the tools won't probably know much less.

When actually it should be the opposite... The less time you need to code a project, the better coder you are.

Have you tried to cut coffee and take tea instead? Cutting alcohol in the week may also help you sleeping better. Doing a small jogging also helps losing some energy and can facilitate sleep. Concerning your point, from your comment it seem

Ha! The key phrase is the following: "The test subjects were 91 software engineers working at a Mysore-based development firm." It must suck to work there...

I really think it is. From watching the movie, I realized Zuckerberg has probably never had a better time in his life thans when he built Facebook from scratch. That made me also clear why many entrepreneurs cannot stay in one startup/proje

OK, forget my dumb last comment... So imagine... cars are automated, and possibly pooled. Bus is the most energy efficient way of transport. So you want to go from A to B. Instead of looking up static train/bus schedules, you just type that
