I don't understand why "public creativity" would be something you'd screen for in an engineering role.

Oracle has a very complete and much cheaper cloud solution relative to AWS. I've begun migrating my own projects over to their cloud. The savings on egress costs alone pays dividends.

Some commenter replied it will change nothing. I disagree (but didn't downvote) - it will change the number of people in the market for a competitor. There are competitors out there and the people who are cancelling their Drive subsc

It is a really, really bad idea to put business logic in your database and there are people in this thread downvoting everyone who points it out. Please do not do this in production - I've had to maintain systems that married business

The only problem I see with allowing anyone to offer hearing aids is the hypothetical problem that a malfunctioning product may harm someone's hearing further. That's a real issue to be addressed, but generally I agree that making

"Wage theft" would be if you weren't paid overtime you were owed. This is just theft.

This is just a case study in bad management. The woman who wrote this article shouldn't feel shame: that's the goal of an inadequate manager (in this case the CTO and/or CEO) and not her responsibility. Regardless, I think an

Excellent information! So what this tells me is based on migration alone, (since births / deaths are not indicative of intent to migrate) California has been flat at best, not counting an unknown number of international emigrants - so

Hey Scott - tell me how you got the word out about Purelymail? Obviously you reached the right audience and they liked what they saw to post it here and generate so much interest. Consider me another subscriber!

From a manager's point of view: This person just wants to know what you're up to. It's not a judgement, it's a simple query. It can be solved via additional communication. Probably best to do on the phone so there&#x2

This kind of behavior inspired me to finally make the switch to full-time Linux eight years ago. I've tried Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and a handful of smaller distros. But with the Cinnamon desktop environment my day to day computing exp

Back in the days of MyISAM and before Google had their own ad network I worked for the world's largest advertising network. It had a global reach of 75%, meaning 3 / 4s of people saw at least one of our ads daily. I was trying to

The article explicitly states: "Mr. Thiel purchased his founders’ shares in PayPal through his Roth IRA during PayPal’s formation." That's literally the market rate.

by maxk42 5y ago
That's not how it works. When you incorporate, the corporation has shares split among the founders. The founders themselves determine the "par" value of each share - essentially its intrinsic worth. You have to pay this amo

If you'd like to eliminate gas formation caused by legumes, you need only change the water (preferably twice) during the cooking process. Undigestible sugars (AKA soluble fiber) are the primary culprit for this property of most legume

Fascinating that AMD is not dominating in the arena of servers: That's where I would've expected the biggest adoption. They're generally more affordable than Intel especially in the arena of performance per watt, and the dif

This is a straw man. The super-rich don't have income taxes because they have little to no income. Bill Gates didn't become a billionaire by being paid hundreds of millions of dollars each year - he became a billionaire by build
