An intuition I am open to being incorrect: I found NEMA ostentatious and overpriced even at the peak of Uber/Twitter hype (the offices of which form a NEMA sandwich). Second only to the condo building that tilted because its piles were

I started using Uncle Harry's, after having a sensitive crisis and being told by a dentist that I would need extensive crowns. That was... 7 years ago? Got one cavity done last year. Surprised no one else had mentioned them. American,

This reminds me of a discussion I had with friends fawning over an acquaintance who had flown from CA to the Standing Rock protests. I said, wow, that's a lot of carbon to be at a protest. They said, that's not the point. I said,

Not sure I understand your comment, but generally you have to prove anti-competitiveness /beyond/ too cheap to beat (unless it is a proven loss-leader which, viz all big tech companies, seems very hard to prove)

Missed opportunity to call it "...Texts" instead of "Documents".

To continue the conversation: notice would be specifically saying, "you are officially laid off", not, "if you don't do this thing, we will lay you off".

Lots of folks saying severance is not required. There are laws around mass layoffs in the US, requiring notice or severance.

Not an engineer but I would recommend finding something that connects your past experience to programming. Always nice to frame it as -- programming let me this thing nobody else could, because of domain expertise.

I suppose the argument would be switching costs -- what stops any cloud provider from being interchangeable with another?

My hot take (as a DS of 12 years): data scientist was always a over-hyped title and led many to unrealistic expectations. I think we will see a rise of data-inflected product managers (this is what I am already seeing), as IMO data scientis

Took 1.5 years off. As others have said -- got bored, was expensive, was worth it. I would take stock of your finances before you take time off and play out a few scenarios of how long you can afford to not work. I would also advise getting

Having been a data scientist for a decade, I have yet to work with anyone who had a degree in data science. I would, in fact, encourage folks interested in the field to study economics or another quantitative-adjacent discipline, and focus

The article appears to get the "seven years" qualification wrong. The bill states that tax must be paid at: >> the date that is 7 years after the first date the rights of the employee in such stock are transferable or are no

It's concerning that such a low sample was published in Nature. One can imagine a similarly underpowered study showing that a direct injection of HIV does not cause seroconversion, because the two or three samples happened to have CCR5

In that situation, a malicious actor can execute arbitrary code on an S3 box that likely hosts all kinds of government / business critical data. OP's point is that unless your static website secretly contains nuclear launch codes,

It is quite large, but I never have trouble fitting it in my pocket (no matter how skinny the jeans). I find it quite comfortable for one-handed texting, and ICS makes texting much easier than earlier releases. Personally I think ICS will m

Very interesting, thanks for the insight. I want to note that there is still value to this data. Although the coverage may not be accurate (covering all users), it sounds like it is precise (covering a very specific subset of users that acc

Erm, maybe we should be a little more scrutinous of where our bubble predictions come from? "The number of tech-related jobs in San Francisco is near its record 34,000 in 2000, the pinnacle of the Internet bubble, according to analysis by r

My impression is that Google is not claiming a violation of terms, and certainly they have not stated an intention to take legal action. Google is claiming instead that any comparison of its own results with Bing's should be taken with the

As comments on the article have noted, this headline is inaccurate. The Verizon program actually allows (only existing, not new) Verizon customers to return an old phone (feature or smartphone) for a mailed debit card, and only once they've
