I don't know, paying off the hackers might have been the best call. It prevented my data from being exposed into the wild vs notifying authorities which would have all but guaranteed a leak. If the objective was to protect Ubers'

I would argue you can't call something smart if it isn't sustainable.

The decision to do this in Arizona seems odd out the gate. Depending on water from the Colorado is immediately net negative sustainable.

Physicists assume things are spheres and use that to solve a bunch of problems. It's important to know 'why' economists use this abstraction for modeling before patently dismissing it. Economists notice that on average, peopl

This article uses questions on stack overflow as its killer data point. Stack overflow definitionally has fewer questions over time for any technology. If anything this is signaling maturity and stability.

They'd never feel hungry. They'll live 20 years longer on average. Have access to a diversity of food and entertainment experiences that would make their heads spin and drive a vehicle that by 1940s standards would be considered a

Maybe not in the same job, but why does that matter? Are you saying they couldn't learn to drive an Uber or work at Starbucks? An unskilled worker today is a millioniare by 1940s standards but I don't think the work is any more co

My cousin worked at European owned bank that had "mental health days". I liked that term because it sounded more proactive than reactive. They were viewed as a way to take care of your mind and reduce stress. You could use them fo

How does this bug affect current hardware in production? Is it worth waiting for the fix before buying the new MBPs, for example?

Thanks. That is annoying I just wish it were clearer why downvotes and flags were happening. It would probably prevent people like me from posting from thise sources in the future.

I agree with you in principle, but in practice you'd need to exclude all the major outlets. That's a pretty big hole in media coverage. In either case, flagging the post with a reason would be an educational benefit to the poster

Thanks, a) doesn't seem like it should matter, that's the way the web is going. b) i saw this article as more scientific than political. This is the closest thing you get to a controlled experiment in economics research. c) Fair.

So this doesn't come off as pithy, I'd like to explain that the reason I submitted this article to HN is that 1) a lot of startups hire minimum wage workers and will be affected by these policies and 2) I wanted to get the HN crow

Defining the interface before you write the code is the major advantage of test-driven development and what it added to that way of thinking was very valuable especially to novices. It also makes your code more modular and reusable. Writing

Apple took a step in the right direction with the do not disturb feature in the Notifications bar. When I don't want to be bothered, I turn it on, when I want to be chatty I turn it off. The next step should be apps that are aware of y

I agree and like this article but the midwest needs to adopt a few things the valley did right. 1) Hand out more equity to early employees and create a flywheel of entrepreneurs who build and finance other businesses. 2) Get rid of the non-

More and more I reach for pyspark for medium sized tasks because I like the API and if I need to scale it I can. I don't think this is as black and white as it used to be now that big data framework interfaces are getting as good or be

I would say that your sentiment encapsulates the attitude I disagree with. Public is, by definition, public. As in, for us all. Your norms are valid, but so are mine as well as my child's. I could make the argument that if you want sol

I certainly wouldn't and didn't go as far to say my kid goes around screaming in public. That's quite a leap from what I was saying. What I said was that at the pediatrician's office, my kid runs around and plays rather

Yes. Turns out kids are part of society too.

I wasn't making the point that society was in charge of my kids, rather that society needs to be tolerant of kids nature and adapt to it to some degree. I can get my kid to sit still, but its not his natural state so I don't often
