This is an "innovation" that saves little time (making a cup of coffee is not a time-consuming process), is substantially more expensive than the process it replaces, and generates an inordinate amount of waste. I am sorry, but based on m

If only changing the rules was as easy as creating a git repo. Not being snarky, just cynical of people who appear to have no experience regarding the realities of a career in hardcore life sciences.

Wait, what? Is this analogous to the ActiveX crap from MS, with the only difference being that ActiveX allowed plundering the OS and this allows the same for the browser/WebOS? Could someone more knowledgeable articulate the contents of thi

Wow! Only on HN could one expect people picking apart SQL from movie screenshots and then discussing the minutiae of that code! Not that I have any problem with it. However, it surprises me no end how inward-looking, tech-navel-gazing, nerd

Startup (and bigger) companies can learn a lot from this. If anything, this is a good example on how not to go about recruiting talented people. Firmly filed under the dickhead ed category.
