I don't see the hype behind build tools. I still use Grunt on just about any project because I can just copy/paste the entire build process from another project and never come back to it again. Don't see much point in switchi

I think what you guys are doing is amazing and the world is due for airlines like Boom. I'm also happy to see that this venture is backed by YC. This is a huge step forward. Your prices bite a little and will likely be out of range for

How many of you guys continue to interview when you sense that you're either being insulted or your interviewer acts like a jackass and thinks that he's God's gift to this earth? Has anyone politely walked out?

ICQ was insanely popular in the US as well. I remember getting on it and chatting with my friends when i was a teenager in the late 90s.

Life in USSR has never been as tough as it is in NK. Maybe in the 30s, 40s and early 50s. Maybe... My grandmother who was born in 1924 in the Soviet Union used to tell me that the Soviets would laugh at the brainwashing that was happening i

North Korea looks like the Soviet Union of the 1950s. It's just amazing how stuck in time this place is.

Exactly what i was going to ask! Is there such a thing as unsupervised learning? A human mind is constantly fed a stream of learning data. And while some things may be predispositioned by our DNA, I think for the most part we learn directly

I'm curious if there is any research on purification of irradiated water. A quick search took me here [1]. Couldn't find much else on this. [1] http://acselb-529643017.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com/chem/243...

I don't really understand the hate towards LinkedIn. I've connected with a lot of companies on LinkedIn. Even had LinkedIn itself, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft reach out to me with job opportunities on LinkedIn. Yes they employ

I've been a .net dev for years now and it's such a joy to see stuff like this come out of MS. I'm a heavy VS user and haven't had the need to switch to VSC yet. I might check it out for angular/js apps.

A close friend of mine's been doing some job hunting in a non-technical field. He was just telling me the other day how just about every place where he sent his PDF resume replied by asking him to resend it in Word.

$80k after a few months sounds crazy but it really isn't. $80k in salary in NYC would probably equate to $50-60k anywhere else besides SV, which is a reasonable starting pay. With rent as high as it is in NYC I can't imagine there

I think the problem with Twitter is that normal people don't need it. I don't have a single friend on Twitter and maybe one co-worker who tweets once in a blue moon. These are normal folks who do normal things and have no interest

I don't know if it's fair to compare Microsoft's efforts with Windows and Apple's with OSX. Windows runs on hardware from a variety of different vendors. OSX is pretty much commercially locked down to Apple's own ha

Can anybody explain to me this push for everyone to be a programmer? Is there a belief floating out there that everyone in 10-20 years is going to have to know how to program? I just don't understand it. Who's going to teach compu
