I wasn't trying to take sides. One set of people were doing their jobs, another person was doing something without thinking about consequences. I don;t hold this opinion in general, for example when someone videotapes police in a city

Absolutely yes, in this case. I'd prefer the officers went home to their families. If you want to go around pointing your phone at everything, you need to stop and think about the consequences.

I like to have the choice. Sometimes my wife and I try to cook something complex for breakfast, and I take the train 1.5 hours later, which also goes about 25 mins slower. I replace my usual book reading with work, so I can leave around the

How the hell does management get work done then? They fired all their devs to bring over these people, then if what you paint is true nothing ever gets done. Is the goal to keep the old stuff running (by not touching it) at a lower price? I

Do you have any engineers that take public transportation every day? My current company has a dedicated team to maintain a developer VM that runs on our Macs, and that has made my life much better. I don't need internet access to write

I'm asking because I don't know, does Accenture typically create the software they sell? Off topic, does TCS/Infosys typically make the thing they sell?

Palantir might not be "Google for Intelligence", but there is some unfavorable bias on HN against them, so the "Accenture for Intelligence" nickname might stem from wanting to be condescending.

Since there are a lot of examples here, I'll mention HighScalability [0], which takes many talks and writes it out as text. [0] http://highscalability.com/

OP Here, I just tested this, the passwords aren't case sensitive, and google[0] and HN[1] says this was known in 2012.. The HN discussion is a little more dismissive of case sensitivity, so I'm wondering if I should be so worried

I spoke to a couple of drivers when I was visiting India in December (in Chennai), and I got nothing but praise. In the bay area I've had mixed experiences. Drivers in the city seem to be interested in a chat. In the south bay I'v

The cleanliness part cannot be helped, but isn't your alternative actually costing you more time? Your workout is probably longer due to the lower intensity, and you still have to use body wipes.

Facebook must be going out of the way to reject Americans, and insist on hiring H1Bs for their openings. They probably pay low wages and the people who can get past their interviews must be thanking their gods they got out of shitty life ba

But what offensive meaning does the word carry? I edited my comment to ask that, possibly after you replied. If it has no negative meanings , I wouldn't want to be part of a cultural movement to create a negative connotation on the

I've had a couple of seizures over the last 5 years, and have the same experience you describe. I hate it though, I feel like a child :(. The last time it happened, my wife was around, so I felt somewhat comfortable asking her to walk

I can get why Americans are pissed off by H1Bs going to Indians. Why are you pissed off? You go through the same lottery process as Indians, no? I would think that there is a percentage of the spots going to people who put in multiple appli

I was at their keynote in one of the Openstack summit. I can guarantee that at least the VP that spoke about it knows nothing about openstack, and were just using Mirantis to deploy. They just threw Buzzwords around, one of which was Fuel[0

Decent website, but pretty sure it's not 100% polished yet. One (of several) things that threw me off was the "Female Survival Rate to Age 65" comparison. I was shocked to see that India is only at 3.7%, and the color filling

As an economy traveller, I didn't realize how much international trips were if I used a lounge for hops. The CSR comes with free access to a large number of airport lounges, which was a benefit I was surprised I used.

It's a NYT shtick. It's not that difficult to find a person that speaks like that, and NYT finds that person for their articles. Since getting a subscription, I've also been turned off by the tone of their reporting on politi
