They've actually done very well with "hype" as it were. I guess this goes to show that you too can spend tons of VC dollars, make yourself "popular" and never make any money, but the popularity is enough to make yo

Totally agree, jet just...doesn't have some things. But it does have some other things, and sometimes slightly lower than amazon. It's so low I almost made a purchase with them once!

I guess the fear is that you'll anchor it "lower" than they would have. Example if they are intending to pay 120, and you say "I'm hoping to make 110" they might just come down to 110. But I suppose if you st

I've heard similar advice, but instead of just making it up say "my current salary is confidential" (then, if press, "I hope to make XX at my next gig" or what not).

Sounds like you are already your own "agent" as it were. The rest of us just don't know how to haggle, sadly :|

Apparently Amazon makes more money on AWS than they do on their retail site. I'm sure netflix helps :)

I thought it ironic that go also has a "go vet" which spits out "warnings" but...are those warnings bugs? Were they examined? etc. etc. :|

This is a tricky one. Once again it could just be correlation, and "people who can't hold down a job" are more likely to get divorced, not necessarily "some person who gets fired" is more likely to get divorced, non

Yeah I've started going for products that only have "hundreds" of reviews, and over several years, those are usually hard to game :)

nice, I hope it gets merged into mainline :)

Yes, was it "this version" that made it better than MP3? I'd have thought the title would say what was new. Guess not...

Unfortunately also the case for me. Whenever I use somebody else's computer or setup a new one, it's search for something then 'what the heck, what is this?" switch back to google, and think "I wonder if this will

They apparently already receive 1/3rd of that each year, though, so my guess is it'd just be more of the same, as it were, though at a greater pace.

Be careful, though, sometimes "code all day" is actually a form of addiction and...in the end of it all...you'll end up possibly unhappy, take it from me :| To test this hypothesis, try not coding for a couple weeks, and avoi

Though in retrospect that's for one person, maybe they could rent a room? I assume if a family is on this they each get the $1K? kids too? unclear... overall the experiment is "slightly different" than giving the poor yearly

According to the article they chose it because of "Its simplicity, safety, performance, and readability" perhaps it has more in some of those than Erlang does/did... ?

Is the output code faster than HotSpot after its been warmed up?

Good idea, I've had good luck in the past with asking management "what does it look like if I improve?" then you implement suggestions that they give you. Management types love this :)

The other related concern being "if they know it expires in 5 years, they're unlikely to actually really quit their day job" But still something of a worthy experiment, since it's at least slightly different than the yea

I could see applying for a jury trial if you need time to...gather evidence to get ready or something but...just to be able to keep living there "rent free" ??? I guess if the landlord has done something awful and you want to get

Hmm yes my first question was "does the rent contract stipulate he can raise rents? or is it month to month so he can change it whenever he wants"? (assuming its a male landlord, sorry ladies)

by rogerdpack 10y ago
Wow, seems something's a bit "out of whack" or "outdated" when a landlord wakes up and realizes "wait, I could charge 10x the rent!" :) I assume he could't just evict the tenant because of some kind

They kind of dismiss "other places that do this" by saying they want to see how it'd work in the US https://blog.ycombinator.com/basic-income I had a similar initial question, since I heard once that Germans

Unfortunately the study, even at 5 years, doesn't seem long enough, in my mind, to gauge if people under it would "just move to Albuquerque where the cost of living is cheap" (or perhaps UBI could/should be adjusted base

Yeah I thought that too somehow...they say "$1-$2K" and I'm like...is that really a basic income wage?

They're I think randomizing the sample, though, so it's not just targeting poor people, if that helps clarify.
