From what I remember, the guy kinda nodded his head a bunch and said that these are the tough questions we need to be asking which is why we hire bright minds. He also went on to say how employees are treated really well which was kinda mis

Palantir had a booth at a Summer internship expo I went to once. I asked them what the deal was with helping the NSA in their surveillance capabilities and what not. The guy said he was impressed that "I had the courage to ask tough qu

If you watch the production diaries, you'll see exactly what went wrong. tl;dr Guillermo del Toro was the original director with proper prep time and then Peter had to take over, without the prep time. He was winging it most of the tim

I really like Spotify but I feel I'm soon going to rebuild an MP3 library. A mix of songs being removed (licensing), the apps being sluggish due to library size and local playlist features being rubbish for years. I've got enough

I can understand and even sympathise a lot of positions conservatives and Republicans have but this type of shit baffles me. Part of me figures it's nice PR to cover over that it's just a power play but then again, Hanlon's R

I also poured over HN while working dead end retail for 3 years. It quite literally sent me into the mental health system. I picked up a heeeap through osmosis, did a dev bootcamp for web dev/JS/React, spend a year being rejected

Just so you know, Messenger can be used standalone. It tethers to your phone number, and backs up an account key to Google Drive/(iCloud for iOS?) Functionally, it's the same except you don't have a profile of course. The onl

Oh, congrats to the iwantmyname team for making HN :) I've been a customer for at least a year or more now and I can highly recommend them. They're a nice bunch and always happy to help out. I've even weirdly been enjoying an

Unless I'm misusing the term, I think this is a good example of the phrase "the optics of a situation".

I suppose if we got to that point, you could replace that portion of the brain with cybernetics, save the state before having taken any drugs then every so often, flash it back to the beginning?

As someone who lives in what can be considered a rural area for the most part, it's not largely different. The last population count put the town at ~4500 for reference. You still have people in checkout lines on their phones or parent

Console makers don't make much money off of the hardware themselves. Here's a few examples: Switch: ~$40 profit[1] PS4: ~$18 profit[2] Xbox One: ~$30 profit[3] As for software, a Forbes estimate from 2006 put the console manufactu

I presume it's the same idea as Slack uses, where they email you a link that you visit. It's similar to verifying your email address for most services you sign up with. That's not literally how it works though, just functiona

Could you imagine how much wasted paper comes out of a supermarket in the form of receipts? Most are printed by default then discarded. I reckon at least 10 garbage bags worth of paper a day at least from one store alone. Maybe I'll ru

On a side note, you might like a movie called The Box (2009). Basically a couple receives a box with a button and pressing it will give them $1 million but a stranger somewhere in the world will die at the same time. I don't remember i
