   Keep in mind, my kids are riding with me walking right next to them. They are still using training wheels.

   This reminds me of something related. I don't force my children to wear helmets when they ride their bikes. When we are out, people yell at me "Where's their helmet dad?". These are the same type of people who force t

   I worked my way through school for both my undergraduate degree and a masters in computer science. It wasn't bad. Just have to work hard. The nice thing was, I finished up school with zero debt.

   I'm afraid that comments that don't jive with the HN world view will never be endorsed. It's a good way to keep the opposition shut up! Hopefully I'm misunderstanding how it works.

   I have no idea how one would come to your conclusion when there's evidence otherwise, that this was a deliberate action: the climbs, disabling of more than one communication system at different times, course changes, no calls back.

    Nobody outright brags about it, it's done a different way by: 1) Sending out team wide emails very late at night and on the weekends 2) Sending out team wide code reviews very late at night and on the weekends 3) Monday morning during

    I prefer simple HTML pages over JavaScripty type pages. And it seems these js UIs keep replacing perfectly good HTML UIs. The Hadoop web admin UI did this going from 1 to 2. I think the new google groups did the same.

    I was contacted and offered some payments to start including some sort of ads in my Chrome extension. As I understood it, it would inject ads and/or replace links on web pages with affiliate links. I declined their offer.

    I always feel like the oddball, but I don't mind the current state of our airport security. Given the option of two flights, one with security and the other without, I'm taking the flight with security precautions... Irrational or

    Try driving 40 mph in a 30 mph zone and see how quickly you are pulled over. It can't be in any area though; it needs to be in a mostly white middle to upper class area. My theory is that police know that people pulled over in those a

    It's unfair to the office mates of those who use these hipster keyboards. They are extremely loud. It's amplified by those who have odd typing patterns too.

    I wear headphones at work to muffle the sounds from these mechanical type keyboards. It's very annoying and disruptive.

    Pure random attacks, completely unprovoked, to take your bike. Me being a white didn't help either as usually such events included a lot of racial hate towards whites.
