Heat, Ronin and the Ocean's series are the trinity of heist movies. "For me the sun rises and sets with her, man." For any Heat fans reading this comment, Michael Mann co-wrote a novel, Heat 2, that focuses on his character,

And yet I'm left wondering why the investors had such a bad reaction to its launch? Early signs point to this being a technological marvel, and despite the price tag I think it'll have useful applications in businesses with deeper

Sorta unrelated but I wanted to join in on everyone reflecting on their athletic careers: I worked at a mid-tier consulting firm as my first job and had an incredible work-life balance. I ran 3-4 times a week and cycled twice a week. I got

My French language classes, typically held in person after work, moved to online and over Zoom. Initially, we tried Google Meet and found it laggy and that we would often drop out. Then we moved to Zoom and it has been a much better experie

Cue the YouTube video of Michael Scott saying "No God, please no. Noooo!" uBlock was the AdBlock when AdBlock sold out. Now who will be the uBlock now that uBlock has sold out? And this is separate to uBlock Origin, right?

Will.i.am's failures and eccentricity (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prv5q84-Ebg ) are far more well known than his successes. I'm surprised he was able to raise so much money.

The one on my MBP 2014 is definitely superior, but I don't mind it. Gets the job done, and I found it precise enough to work on corporate presentations, a place where neurotic detail reigns.

Interesting. Does anyone here actually use the dial, or know someone that does? Otherwise, it doesn't look like a compelling upgrade to my Surface Book (1) though. Even though I paid an arm a leg for it, I've grown to love it over

In the words of Adam Jensen - what a shame. Though HB says: "We will stay the same", I'm sure practically everyone knows that that won't be the case. IGN, the go-to place to get sponsored reviews of AAA games.

Boy, the IBTimes has always been a terrible place to read articles, especially with its autoplaying videos, but now when you scroll down (after having stopped the video of course) it inexplicably jumps to the lower right corner of the scree

This sounds so much like those ads that look for "8 years of Swift development experience" despite the fact that Swift only came out 3 or 4 years ago. The fact that a recruiter can 'recruit' for a company like Facebook w

I certainly had this in the back of my mind. But I knew someone who got hired doing the exact same thing - my contact. So I had good reason to think that this effort would be worth something, and Uber can certainly afford to pay for those k

Long post warning - this is just a perspective about shitty HR in the vein of this post, not sexism, like the original Fowler post. Late last year at 10am on a Thursday, I got a call asking if I wanted to interview for a HR position with Ub

Agreed - time and time again I'm surprised by the people that read HN. It seems to comprise of people who did some cool stuff 10,000 years ago, people who are doing cool stuff today, and everyone in between. Alas, all good communities
