http://vine.co/blog My understanding was Vine is more Insta-video-gram, the limitation (though they will probably start adding filtering, and you can chop things up) of 6 seconds of a scene. Which is sort-of a real-time Gif (lifted that f

Rather vapid/no content article I thought. "Like a CEO" with no reference to why CEO's must, or do (based on the recommendations) use Google Tasks and Asana. One would think an article based on a CEOs level of function would focus primarily

It is a bit annoying re-read or click the same comments on what seems a different or tangential story, get confused, and realize it was a title change.

Thank you! I thought I had seen Otherside somewhere. Since it was a bit back, I never would have equated such an emotional / well produced song with the same artist as Thrift Shop (also exceptionally produced, but such a different emotive a

Mayhaps with that much trauma (if true) some mental dysfunction is at hand, and some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with a Psychiatrist would be in order. Else a repeating pattern of self-destructiveness (self-sabotage) would continue.

Sincere question though, I imagine the linking too the pre-req cs198 Standford course work, that even doing, e.g. Udacity intro to CS101, Learn Python the Hard Way may be too "light" of knowledge to sign up. Should I try and gear up C++/bur

Another possibility would be to post a blog/article which references and links all of the design practices you take offence with, and then diatribe so as not to clutter HN threads of discussion on the subject matter and not the design aspec

Remembering the earlier thread through the fog of memory, I assumed he had the funds to pay it himself, and that was cause of much derision, ala "why is he asking for help? He's rich!" and things of that nature.

I think he is showing a more obvious solution that removes his own emotional investment by reframing the situation.

not supposed to be the kind of comment HN encourages Yet, its what we may perceive as the best representation of what the populace is having to deal with / parrot. Like most ironies, sadness and hilarity ensue.

Job prospects for neuroscientists are completely bleak. Which is a weird dynamic of "need" vs "supplied" (or, will pay/fund). It's rather sad.

Sub reddits are just Usenet on the web but worse, rather than anything social. This may be why you are being downvoted, but: Maybe if Reddit added a profile page with some social stuff (for paying users?) they could destroy Facebook. Is o

Or how they treat the staff at a dinner. Many other routes vs making some people uncomfortable that you may "require" a dinner with a SO. If they don't have a SO, what, invite a friend to an interview?

Market is semi-legal. How do you gain traction? Network effects (that whole traction thing (re: gaming/tuning Craiglist)), liability, etc. Retrospective analysis biases "initial" perceptions post-facto.

For what its worth, as a former tech recruiter, a female candidate had a 90% chance of hire at 70% or greater hire rate then a male candidate. What that means is, if the company felt the female candidate was less qualified, but had potentia

Until the business cycle corrects and demand is down. But that is the argument, that the growth of demand for developers (region dependent) will now continually be on the up and up versus a down / up, down / up. Seemed work was hard to come

But there are also some ways to make money, and I gave some rock solid ideas for how, based on research. There has been nothing concrete out of your posts in improving evaluation of ideas / founders / research.

This is more venting, or a manic episode (I am not being facetious, I am reading it that way) without any sort of specifics besides the merits you are expounding about applied research without specifics in an attack like style of writing. I
