That was the plan :) I've done it thought, I pay for my mail now etc. There is something about not feeling like a product that is so satisfying.

Very good point, I've spent almost 40 hours of my time for an application only to be told at the final stages I wasn't right for the position. I doubt anyone on the other side lost sleep over it.

Agreed, unfortunately it's very hard to find jobs paying properly in EU right now. It's amazing what is expected of people for the money offered.

"In the last few years, Russia has militarily invaded and annexed a section of a European country without even a pretex of legitimacy." Just depends on where you get your news really? You live in the US, it's ok to invade Syr

"The result is that the unique network ID of your socket is transported in an unencrypted form to the Chinese server" The use of The word "Chinese" in this article is amusing. Is it really important or necessary? Would i

First and foremost, we need to stop emitting Co2, immediately. The only thing stopping it is the affluents, nothing else.

Good comment! I'm highly surprised by the skepticism, especially by 'Hacker News' readers, some comments read as if science is but an inconvenience. Westerners don't live in complete isolation from the environment and ot

I've spent time in the Australian Outback and I don't recall a night going by when I didn't appreciate it, it's a marvellous spectacle and a real shame it's hard for most people to enjoy!

I would have to largely agree with this based on my own experience, and I've been on both sides of the fence. The best interviews I've had was when I was invited to come work with the team after a few meet and greets. It allows al

This is really frightening. I remember surfing in France a few months back after a major storm, the amount of small plastic particles washed up on the beach was sickening. It was broken up into tiny fragments in all colours, there was miles

I remember when the US captured and murdered Saddam, the violence and hypocrisy of it was something people are still trying to comprehend. They sold it to the U.N., the world bought it and now look what the US has to show for it, smoking ho

It would be nice to put plots of these bacteria on the shady side of roofs. That way you can store some fuel for cold and rainy days / months :)

Octopuses are so cool. Because of their use of tools etc it helps us relate to them in a special way. They also help us realise we're not the only cool and capable creatures on earth. I love that about them. Then you read about stuff l

Right, those recommendations would've helped with Google's swift uptake. I remember advocating Google to everyone and they were hesitant to try but gave it ago because I was a considered a 'tech head' they trusted my rec

It makes me laugh the US Government is doing so little on climate change that local Goverments now have to protect their own cities. Remember when Calirofrnia sued the US Government over climate change? They've been doing a whole lot o

I understand the theory behind all that but I'm preferring the results DDG is now giving me. The bangs feature is also really nice. I actually used DuckDuckGo about a year ago but I went back to Google after a month as the results felt
