Depending on how much free time you have, you could always homeschool him! The educational/extracurricular activities part is hard though -- I was homeschooled and got a lot of my 'socialization' through team sports, which ca

Kanye interned at Fendi about 12 years ago - he's definitely pretty involved in fashion beyond just lending his name

That's funny! But mostly because you already had other interviews lined up. I'm curious -- did they actually ask you anything in/about Swahili?

I'm an infrastructure engineer (and love it), so I'd only consider joining in that role. That said, I don't recommend a company whose product is something you're against. Yes, you're not directly working on it but I

FWIW, that link is old. Their personal website has a link to a newer resume, which includes another eng position from 2014 to very recently.

I rarely re-read things, at least immediately. If it's something interesting (e.g. a link from HN), I'll bookmark it and hopefully come back to it later, but I frequently never get back to it. Something that forces me to stop skim

The hobby can be dangerous. Overall, it isn't problematic, but there are a few drone hobbyists that ruin it for the rest, frequently due to lack of training. There's the person who hit the Space Needle [0], the person who crashed

The Go runtime explicitly randomizes the iteration of map, because the language designers noticed 'Programmers had begun to rely on the stable iteration order'[0]. Most languages, as far as I can tell, tell you that the iteration

I've heard fantastic things about SuperMemo but don't have a Windows machine - and don't plan on buying one. It's extremely unfortunate there's no Mac version.

Keep in mind that there are different levels of 'from scratch.' Making your own sandwich is pretty normal. Making your own bread for your sandwich but with store-bought mayo is probably less common. Making your own bread and makin

What a great invention! I've always rented apartments and have always ignored the advice to get double-glazed windows since that's not something a renter can usually do, but this would be perfect. Thanks for posting it!

I guess I was a little surprised. I make a slight effort to avoid furrowing my brows to prevent wrinkles, for example, and this study shows a benefit to making certain expressions. I still am curious if they would make certain wrinkles wors

That's a really good point. By displaying the first names & last initials of the reviewers, Yelp is revealing a lot about the reviewers. I personally wouldn't want to have to create a fake account every time I write a 1-star r

Same. It's a stunning phone and I would've absolutely bought it. It's too bad.

Also not OP, but not having a headphone jack is a non-starter for me. In a tie-breaker, I'd prefer a smaller company over a larger company too.

It seems like they could easily drop half of those jobs off of their resume. That's usually the advice given for people who leave jobs after a short period.

That's true. I've also heard that it increases trauma by making a hit hurt less, because the fighter is able to keep going instead of being bothered by more superficial issues (e.g. cuts/bleeding).

I guess I'm not sure what you're referring to. Apartment complexes filter more on credit score, while I was referring to criminal record background checks, which were what you mentioned in your article. And if you really believed

I also don't think boxing is especially 'violent' but people do get hurt. I used to box competitively on a college team (NCBA) and almost every fighter on the team above ~140lbs had had at least one concussion, with the frequ

This could've been a hilarious piece if not written with such mean judgement. It's hard to not read some of the descriptions as racist, such as 'I know many of his “homies” are respectfully and cost effectively vegetarian&#x2

To be fair, better implementations of this (mix your own flavored sparkling water machines) are pretty nice to have around. I'm not sure they're worth $1000/year but they do cut down on waste from plastic soda bottles and can

Yep - I've also been unintentionally been cashless for the last few years. Part of it is I don't like carrying a purse and like being able to only have my cards stored in one of those card-holders that attach to phones. I do feel

Even for stuff like netflix/hulu? Asking out of curiosity - I leave PIA off for the most part because of the IP blocking, and only turn it on when I feel that I need it.

Can you clarify the percentages for internships? Equivalent annual salary as in, if a student is making $20/hr at a 3-month internship, then their equivalent annual salary would be $20/hr * 40 hr/ week * 52 weeks = $41600, an

I do too! It's very frustrating, to the point that I've considered just getting a new phone number. The problem being I've had this number for >10 years and like the idea of an old high school friend being able to reach me

This is very, very cool - both the idea and the implementation. I've thought about a CS-themed tattoo for a while but haven't found one that I'm in love with - but yours is exactly like something I'd want!

The IRS is based in D.C., which also has a high COL. Additionally, that's for the GS-15 paygrade, which requires a PhD and is the highest possible level -- so you can't be paid more than that. The corresponding paygrade for someon

Interesting. Do baristas check your identity or anything when giving your phone back? I'd worry about them turning their back and someone reaching over and grabbing it. There's a lot of crime in my area though - especially the &qu

> It's a self selected sample Yeah, the majority of the people I know who use HackerRank are college-aged looking for jobs. It's hard to place any confidence in this study.
