We really need to allocate more money to USDS. Seems like they've been saving our ass for a while and we're paying them on government employee scale?

This always seems to get buried when talking about Assange on HN. The guy was pretty clearly biased in the reports he would send out and they _just so happened_ to harm Hilary Clinton during the 2016 election, in spite of the fact that Repu

I think this upward pressure in wages may also be a reaction to unemployment benefits paying out at a better rate than usual. You can't just pay at parity with unemployment to entice people on unemployment to work for you. It's no

Would you mind talking a bit about your lifestyle? I've been tossing around the idea a bit and in particular I'm curious about how much the van cost to setup and what you do for Wifi.

My friend had a bad asthma incident recently, went to an urgent care, and got referred to a hospital because they were at capacity. I wonder if that would count as an emergency.

I honestly think this extends beyond "art" and into humanities and even some sciences. 1) If you need to go to grad school for your profession, don't do an undergrad that's 60k a year. 2) If your undergrad tuition per ye

I feel like a combo of 2 and 4 yet not 3, where I'm pretty sure it's zoonotic but given the CCP being the CCP I wouldn't be shocked if it was spillover.

Are you working in a warehouse? If not you've missed the point of the piece.

I took it as either: - not particularly a huge upgrade in audio quality, or - an attempt to upsell me on some audio-related product

Once I learned the Nyquist frequency rule existed in my EE classes I became incredibly suspicious of anybody who threw the words "lossless" around. Glad to know that this suspicion was well-founded. Aside, "Nyquist criterion&

I suspect urban property is not so bad, given everyone fled those areas.

If they do this, self driving will shoot itself in the foot. No one's paying for a robot to do this for _slightly less than minimum wage in most states_.

It might help if you format these as "domain[dot]com" to avoid misclicks.

Maybe this gang doesn't need to worry about the US going after it, it needs to worry about the FSB going after it for screwing up its game plan...

I fell off of Dark Tower during the flashback sequence in the 4th book, but up until that point I agree it was a solid and off-putting story.

I struggle to have sympathy for people who elect leopards and get surprised when their face is eaten.

A simple solution to this problem could be employers paying more than unemployment. But nah, just force people to accept shit wages.

I did something similar for a show script I had to write once (a spoof of a children's show). I got the original plot down, then worked with a partner to actually go back and insert the jokes we'd thought of while writing the firs

If only you could get the projects _prior_ to Accenture screwing them up. Just eliminate the middleman, yaknow?

After reading the thread I can kind of see why both sides have a good argument. The provider of the repo seems to have created this as an opinionated way to lay out a Golang project, so that if you're new to golang you can skip some ya

I think that's kind of the point- to try new techniques and find out what will stick. When I go to art museums and see an abstract piece that looks like garbage and I can't pull any meaning out of it, I try to see if there's

I'd be inclined to agree (my own workplace has some managers that are pretty rough but I wouldn't call it a shitty place to work), except if this manager is quoting "IBM policy", then it's probably not just the mana

There are definitely good reasons to, at minimum, have you _available_ from 9-6; say, for a meeting or to bring a coworker up to speed on what you're working on, but at the same time you don't necessarily need to be pinned to your

Hopefully he gets to be an IBM employee 0% of the time and work somewhere else where his contributions to OSS would be appreciated. And IBM can continue to kick themselves at losing a contributor and wonder why they're just a consultin

That's clever! I think off-by-one errors got a bit easier once we started normalizing loops like `for cat in cats`, but that doesn't really fly when you need to do multiple array accesses while iterating through the loop, so I sup

I'm halfway through This Difficult Thing of Being Human, which advocates for self compassion and tries to create a framework for the reader to practice it. Admittedly I'm not great at remembering to break the mental "downward
