Acquisitions with much of the purchase being done in stock. My understanding is that this is very common.

While I agree with what you say, I think your tone is a bit hyperbolic. Your last sentence is Polonious-level "advice" that is as cliched as it is obvious. The real trick is to not over- or under-estimate AGW. Bad things could h

I would be interested in seeing the workflow of other python programmers. So less about watching them program in python, and more a demo of what a certain set of tools linked in a certain manner looks like, when shown by someone with exper

You seem personally offended that someone said they can see a potential use for a card of this size.

As a practical, or ethical issue? IE, is it just as "wrong" in your opinion to scrape sites, regardless of size or profitability? Or are you espousing the practical argument that it's fine because you can get away with it wh

Clothing was def a bad analogy, given my fashion sense (or at least that's what my ex-partner says!) My point was that jargon has it's place as a shortcut to language. Sure, people use it to sound smart. But it's also a sho

Can you explain further? I am not a plan9 expert, by any means, but I'm stuck at where GP made the confusion. Thanks!

Is your point that he wasn't a criminal, but had evidence and charges trumped because of his resistance? Or is your point that everyone that powerful has done something illegal, and those that are caught are "painted as scum&quot

All of your comment seems to have been covered by the author's article. Sometimes you get positive feedback at a small scale that doesn't work in a larger sense. That was kinda one of the major points in the article.

Suppose I got into doing those things, yet I am aware of the "startup" terms for them. Should I consciously avoid using the jargon (which is really a shortcut way of expressing a longer idea to a familiar audience)? No, rather th

How would you recommend doing this if you are just working to set up your kitchen, and to perfect your recipes? What if you are just learning to cook, and don't have the resources to setup a full kitchen? A startup is not a 'real&

A little off topic, but I'm curious where the HN crowd lies on the ethics of scraping. I'm a bit on the copyleft side -- I say, if something is made public, it's fair game. If you want to protect your data from being scraped

Yes, they exist. But compare the dollars and hours poured into encouraging females to go into male-driven fields. I have noticed a relative paucity of anything purporting to be focused on men. I understand that men have the advantage in g

I think the $15k references a gyro stabilized camera rig. The stabilization is the hard/novel/neat part, not the playback speed. Playback speed is the UI feature people notice, but it wouldn't be interesting if the image wer

Different. Microsoft's technology only requires the video stream. Instagram is sniffing the gyroscope sensor data on the phone so it doesn't have to do all that expensive image processing.

I'm curious -- does Google ever circle back on no-offer candidates to discuss the interview process? ITT I see a lot of people who sound like they fell through the cracks of the process. Google has surely lost talent because their int

You bring up an interesting point -- the gender equality efforts really only focus on jobs deemed glamorous or noble. There aren't many campaigns to get more men into Nursing, AFAIK, although it is a very important profession with an e

I've always thought this would be cool for e.g. a cross-country team, or friends running together, to have. Imagine incorporating a PA system so a coach could talk to and track his athletes on all their training runs...

The crawling aspect always seems overlooked to me. It's really easy to get a single page and pull the required data from it. However, what strategies do you use to crawl? How do you get around IP blocks? Continuous crawling? Etc.

My logic is thus: I believe that historical progression* has required the death of the establishment in order to turn over news ways of thought. Moreover, political power has historically been more concentrated than now. Think about how m

There appears to be only slight anecdotal evidence that "the Chinese" are a significant, over-represented, or manipulative force in Bay Area real estate. Or did I miss it?

To me, one difference is the presence of a third-party for-profit entity (Aereo, in this case).

Everybody needs insurance, in one form or another (at least in the US). I wonder if a company like Google that can possibly determine non-obvious risk factors, has a major advantage here. E.G., imagine if people who searched for the term &q

I congratulate you on feeling like you're an emotional superman, and thus superior and impervious to mental health challenges. I hope, when you are in a difficult situation, that someone offers you some support and sympathy. When that
