Cheesy to admit it, but the Raymond K. Hessel scene came at a young, impressionable stage in my life. It got me to start taking my career and personal relationships seriously. Two great quotes came from it: "Tomorrow will be the most

Yes. Just last year. Sounds like this action is a result of that failure. https://threatpost.com/troy-hunt-sell-have-i-been-pwnd/14556...

I recently found a pic of my friend holding up my Air that I had just got delivered at the office. She has this look of awe on her at how thin the thing was. I still have that Air. Love that thing.

Throughout its history, Apple went back and forth between reasonable memory upgrades and ridiculous memory upgrades. They seem to have settled on a general trend recently - if the user can do it, like in a Mac Pro or iMac, charge a ridicul

It is absolutely not disingenuous because I'm not talking about the philosophy of owning or using a gun. OP uses the word "terrifying" in describing these comments. That's the same word many people use to describe how

As a very pro-2A gun owner, I'm upvoting you and hope at least people stop downvoting you. Downvoting this comment, which in no way attacks other people or their points of view, goes against the spirit of HN. Save that crap for reddi

I can't speak for the REI brand, as I have no experience with it. However, most of their inventory in-store is not REI brand, but higher end brands. I go there for running and biking equipment. While stuff is going to cost an arm and a

"We lent books that we own—at the Internet Archive and also the other endorsing libraries. These books were purchased and we knew they were not circulating physically." I read this as not increasing the book pool, but saying, &quo

Yep. They call it out. "ARM is so widespread that buying it will be a regulatory nightmare, and even the most lenient rubber-stamp regulators around the world must shudder at the idea of an existing ARM licensee buying ARM. " Pra

Sounds so weird. Anything short of a full mask, seems like there would be a high chance Saleh would recognize an assistant. This is someone you work with closely on a regular basis. Height, build, hair, skin complexion would still be vis

Oh, good. Sooner than I thought for Chaddox. Chaddox has its downsides, but I think it'll be an effective band aid solution. As far as mRNA vaccines, I read that blog post and think Lowe, (and other biologists) have more hope for Pfi

People are skeptical about CanSino due to the way it works and, right or wrong, worries about Chinese data. The Oxford vaccine is the front runner. They're doing several Phase III trials right now, and people are taking that to be a g

Derek Lowe's last blog post was about Pfizer/BioNTech. He discussed Pfizer's CEO comments and their Phase I data. Lowe seems optimistic. https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/

That's because the one thing certainly Moderna has been good at is hype. Many biologists have been pretty skeptical about an mRNA vaccine and yet Moderna has been riding high.

It's extra impressive considering that not only are they closed on the Sabbath, but also the major and mid-importance Jewish holidays. Count on them being shut down for weeks during September and October.

B&H is also very competitive in price and still doesn't charge sales tax in many states. Save twenty bucks by placing the order tonight instead of right now? Sure, why not.

With the ban in India and threat of US ban, this move may be a PR move to say to the US Feds, "No, we're not a CCP tool. We've pulled out of the HK market to avoid data sharing with the CCP!" Essentially sacrificing the

I can't understand what's going on with some of these comments. Is it a genuine inability to see the levity of the project? Anti-americanism so strong to ignore the levity? It's humor, people.

All good reasons to like your job and very understandable. However, it sounds like your architect is more of project manager than an architect.

You pretty much described that last job. They outsourced a lot in the past decade, but now the issue is that to do what they want to do, they can't because of outdated tools and infrastructure. They don't have the expertise in-h

Slate and Anchorhead as mentioned in another response. Honorable mentions to Elm and Bluebeard. I've actually spent many years in Sacramento and occasionally go back. Sorry, absolutely no worthy coffee there, but you'll have som

Haha. Anchorhead and Slate. Slate got some bad press last year on labor practices at their stores, but they still roast excellent coffee. If you're just outside of downtown either in SLU or south of Pioneer Square, Elm is good, too.
