   At Stanford, undergrads are admitted generally to the school, then they get to pick whichever major they like. Most students don't pick a major until sophomore or junior year. Stanford accepts 50% women and more of those women are pick

   Maybe because thousands of people have spent millions of hours making the best search engine in the world and they should be rewarded for their work by making money off of it instead of giving it away for free?

   I don't know if I buy a lot of this. People with strong OSS history + StackOverflow answers are probably good coders but I don't know if they're better than people with kids + spouses. I work really hard on my job and write g

   I think that the schools where kids show up without lunches and the schools where parents are doing their children's homework are very different places. The article even concedes that the issues that the authors are trying to fight aga

    I understand why the DMCA exists -- so that people can't post your copyrighted data (that you necessarily own) without your consent. I understand slander laws -- so that people can't make up stories about you and present them as f

    I feel like every three weeks I see an article like this on Hacker News and a gazillion good ideas about how to improve Twitter's service. At the same time, there have been no core changes to Twitter in the last several years. Is Twitt

    I think they could have done a lot of good work by giving lots of kids chrome books and setting them up with dirt simple EC2 vms + awesome remote editing software. That way you get to keep the chrome book intact with default settings, run e

    I feel like this has to mean becoming a subsidiary of Alphabet (and is probably the first of many Google divisions to become an Alphabet subsidiary).

    That basically fixes the CEO's wages at whatever that multiplier is * minimum wage because the lowest paid worker's wages probably won't increase over time. A large-enough company is always going to have entry-level employee

    This may be the case in VC, but I would argue that in higher education, Harvard and its peers have better faculty than "worse" colleges. The better professors attract the most and highest-qualified students.

    I'm a current Stanford undergrad. Most Stanford kids are able to pay for their "student contribution" by getting on campus work-study jobs (like in the Library or career development center), working as dorm staff in the under

    It's pretty slick -- although I don't know a lot of recruiters who can convert unix timestamps to actual dates in their heads!

    I would love to see a program like ROTC -- the government pays for you to get a CS degree and then you work for the Digital Service to start your career. You end up being 26 with a great education and a solid work experience under your belt

    This seems pretty similar to http://app.net when they started out. I don't think the "no ads social network" really panned out for them -- they tried charging users monthly for the site and have since pivoted so m

    Hopefully this feature will help to mitigate political PR's like this one so that project leaders can get back to writing code and won't have to deal with their repos being overloaded by non-contributor talking heads. 742 comments

    I would be really surprised if that entire blog post wasn't reviewed and re-reviewed by the investigator (and their new head of HR) several times over.
