   Ha ha ha. Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes there's probably a fine on car drivers, but typically you pay a smaller bribe and get out. Bus drivers are difficult to punish due to unions, etc

   Yeah at a previous job we had a six person team regularly doing almost hour long stand-ups (daily). First time I was thankful for job mobility in silicon valley.

   Morris Mano, ha! Thanks for reminding me of that author, it's been a long time.

   > So I'm willing to let that go. Ha who the hell are you to let anything go? You are a liar that made a random claim without bothering to verify anything.

   Effectively the same, but it just quickly degrades from 60-0 for me (like 20 mins of just reddit/hn). 100-60 is still decent.

   FWIW, I went to a school for 14 years. I don't mind discredit for not being a parent but my arguments aren't academic. Also honest question: I'd also like to see the overwhelming support you claim there is.

    Eh, call the school instead of disturbing all other kids for your self-proclaimed emergency.

    Yes, it was. I happened to be interviewing at Groupon as a fresh faced new college grad that day and it was super weird.

    I used to think the same about some things (like design docs). Then when I became slightly senior and started writing those, I realized that for such common things, following best practices can lead to template-like things (which is not bad

    I wish I could upvote you twice to help with the other downvotes. I know of at least 3 cases so far where folks walk into ER and lie about who they are when they leave. All of the cases are because of no health insurance, but they aren&#x27

    Yes many movies are released internationally before they are in the US. When I lived in India I got to see most major releases before the US release. I assume Malaysia is a pretty similar market. Ha, all the way back and to the sides are my

    Yeah I live in the bay area, tickets are very rarely $5 here.

    Shitty arbitrage I guess, but it wasn't my goal. I just stocked up so I won't have to go get tickets again. I've definitely watched more than 300 movies in English Hindi and Tamil, but not at AMC alone. I use the tickets for

    Heh, quick googling tells me that it's less than 400$ to go to Kuala Lumpur. If I were so inclined, I'd go once a year, get pirated DVDs of all the movies I want, have some awesome food and come back.

    When I joined Yahoo in 2013, there was a store on campus that sold AMC tickets for 8.50. I got 300 of those mid-2014, and am a handful of tickets away from running out now. I may go back and visit a friend if they are still selling those.

    Unfortunately, they only made 30 videos (and now I understand why). So more like a 10k than a marathon :) I'm going to marathon today too (but I had no work to do).

    Damn, this channel had under 30 videos, but I'm grateful to Tony (and apparently Taylor; bad on me for not bothering to read the credits) for helping me appreciate movies technically. It's been dead in all but name (no videos for

    I don't know if you accept it as normal, but I've seen that in each of the four companies I've worked in. Sometimes the chief of staff at the VP level is not an engineer, but the chief of staff to CxO I've seen are usual

    I pointed out why I downvoted. Not for the misspelling, but using a common incorrect spelling when making a confident assertion about the Indian independence movement. I am sure the commenter knows nothing about it, so I downvoted.

    I downvoted your parent comment for misspelling Gandhi[0] (as Ghandi, which they corrected now, well after my comment, without calling it out); doesn't go well with the confident assertion about why the British left India. [0] https:&
