For reference, I plugged in my own early career (I graduated fall 2006). I went to school in the Midwest, worked 2 full years as an intern, then two years as a full-salary employee, then moved to Maryland. So 17% of all my earnings in the M

Nah. <anecdata>My wife is very technically minded (and has been married to me, a software developer, for over 10 years) and I just taught her (with more effort than I expected) what an algorithm is.</anecdata>

There was an article posted here a few months back lamenting how SF is gradually losing stoops and gaining garages, with driveways that cross the sidewalk. People enter and exit their cars in the closed garage, never having the chance to gr

The default browser setting applies to any links opened from another app -- chat apps, emails, documents, etc. Not just local files from the file manager.

Google already has a history of that with AdSense, I believe. I think HN has seen stories of total Google lockout over AdSense disputes.

I've had good luck with my Pixel XL. I basically only charge it on my commute (half hour each way). Usage details: lots of screen on time, but not a lot of data usage (mostly ebooks and saved podcasts/music).

The political agenda one is important. "Good" news to me in some areas of society are very much not good news to some other people (say, an abortion-related court case being decided).

More anecdata: I strongly prefer dark meat for taste, but I like that I can eat white meat without feeling like I need a shower afterward due to grease. Also I like having less fat (I get enough of that as it is). So what it comes down to,

True, but if you're going to use this, it would be easy to put together your purchase, use the barcode to add that much money to Amazon, then complete your purchase. Yes, it would probably be simpler over the long term to get a bank ac

I think that's what has happened with health coverage and with college over the last several decades. Mass ignorance about what people are actually paying, since the costs are removed from our immediate view, via automatic deductions,

I mean... if you walk into my storefront and get annoyed I'm not selling what you expected, because you meant to walk into my neighbor's storefront, why should I feel bad about that? Why should I change anything? Seems like an odd

FWIW, I've seen a couple threads on Reddit where people did network sniffing -- the echo only had network traffic after the wakeword. So, in a hearsay/amateur manner, it seems to not be doing that. As someone else mentioned, they

I have these same fears, yet there are 4 android devices, an ipad, and an echo dot in my home. High utility and low chance of me being in the specific situation where internal home recordings are requested. High downside if I do end up ther

My coworker's <10yo Nissan Leaf has a now-useless remote access radio, because it depends on the 2G network that AT&T shut down. $300 for an upgraded radio, which is a lot to drop on something that didn't break.

Do you ever speed? Did you ever drink before legal age? Most people [citation needed] think of pirating a song or a movie as being on that level, if at all.

I remember reading at least one case in the US where a home grow operation was discovered by the amount of power it was using, too -- the electric company noticed.

There's another reasonable takeaway: GitLab will probably now prepare for this sort of thing better than the average competitor who hasn't been bitten by this.

I don't think that's accurate anymore. Here's a 4-month-old reddit thread helping someone get an Origin game working with the SC. You may have to launch the game through Steam on your PC, but not necessarily acquire it thro

I'm sure this will eventually apply to phones. I know it's been tried a couple of times (Motorola Atrix, various Kickstarter laptop/desktop phone docks), but one day it will happen. Why should a home user need a whole separat

It doesn't help that the majority of our team is onsite, so any alternative is 100% for my benefit. This really seems key. I've done various sorts of mixed telework/onsite teams, and it never works well. I think eit
