Notes have been around for 5+ years and I've never seen them linked as news stories. In contrast, I've seen Google+ updates consistently submitted as news to HN and other sources. There is a significant difference between Google+ updates

The above is correct. The lab is an FFRDC managed by MIT. It's a really great place to work! I'm in the computer security group and we're hiring for full time and summer internships. There's a description of my typical day in my profile. I'

I agree that the commute situation in the article is negative. However, it's possible to have a discussion on a deeper level that what's being presented here. For example, each way my commute is 50 minutes by bus or 25 minutes by car. I can

Here is McKinnon's flyer: http://mckinnonsmeatmarket.homestead.com/Menu.html . I'm not sure on ground chicken price, but you can see the prices for chicken breast on there. I've never personally been there, but there is a Yelp review from

A brief anecdote. McKinnon's meat market in Cambridge sells boneless chicken breasts for $2/lb and split chicken breasts for $1/lb. I'm not an expert and can't speak to the quality, but it's really popular among residents here. I have no id

Take note. This is actually a useful response that people benefit from reading. As opposed to the several one liners already posted that all say variants of "your hosting is expensive". Thanks for taking the time to write this response up.

I have no idea whether gay people prefer a gender balanced group and didn't mean to speak for them in my original comment. I was commenting on the average social event; the gay population, while sizable, does not represent the average case.

So it's not a date, but you do have to have 3 men and 3 women? If it's not a date, then why the gender requirement? And why match on attractiveness? Because when the average person wants to have fun, he or she usually is looking for a gen

You're reading way too much into molecule's comment. He's merely commenting on the fact that the chosen hosting platform is explicitly designed for purposes that are counter to the chosen license. I see no judgements on the choice of the li

Sure, if you want to examine companies over 15 years (as in your list) you can find companies with big VC in many different geographic locations. That doesn't chance the fact that most such companies are in the valley. I find the idea tha

Ah, thanks for the correction. I've made a note at the end of my original comment. Either way, storing some data is how Google chooses to do business. Whether legally required or not, this fact should give pause to those who need anonymity

Schmidt gets lambasted by the media every time he says something pragmatic about Google's services. I respect him for sticking to his guns. Here is a quote from Schmidt about Google Search that he got crucified for two years ago: Judgement

Agreed. Something I've found interesting is that such pages are a tangential benefit for any project that has participated in Google Summer of Code, as compiling project ideas is one of the first steps in participating. Although sometimes p

Apple is the most valuable company in the world. Why do you find it surprising that it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to retain someone qualified to run such a company? Plus, the position of CEO is arguable the place where Apple is t

Most of the broad strokes in this post are reasonable, but the idea that you should only take a class because you want to is misguided. It seems like solid advice on its face, but there is not a always a direct mapping between enjoyment and

And this is why competition is a good thing. If you read between the lines, it's clear a lot of these features are motivated by Google+'s privacy controls. Facebook has even exceeded Google+ in a few areas like tag approval. What's interest

You'll want to follow people in the industry as well (I've found Nate's blog in particular an enjoyable read). A lot of the practical knowledge accumulates in the brains of the guys who actually get hired to do crypto work. It's an interest
