Experience and standards? It's like asking what's the difference between NY Style pizza in NY and NY style pizza in LA. Do you think they are the same? It's also like saying that TexMex in MN is the same as in TX or CA. Any

My first job out of college was starting at 15/hr. I did that for three years, getting a $1/hr raise every year until I landed a "sweet" job for 55k/yr. It wasn't until a couple years after that I realized I w

Oops, you are right. I'd say I hadn't had my coffee yet when I wrote that, but even that's not a good excuse. How embarassing. 100 books does seem right though, I thought the 10 seemed a little too light. I set up an accou

Logging what you read is, oddly enough, a new idea for me. One I'll have to seriously consider doing. In 2003 I started college, and an exercise in a class I had we had to tell two truths and one falsehood and let the class guess the

To be fair though, he did say the amplitude (shaking apmlitude) was 10 times that of a 6.9, which is true, the energy released was 30+ times though, that is correct. (42+ PetaJoules vs 1.4 PJ in the case of the 6.9)

Well, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt are both involved in Planetary Resources[0]. They are actively doing stuff even now[1] (their product is the Arkyd in this case). Not quite officially Google, but I can see where people would assume so. [

I may have glass windows, but usually they are covered up with blinds and or curtains. Especially in the bedroom. It's nice to be able to open them up and let light in when I need to, but I wouldn't put it on a list of necessiti

Also in the Seattle area (Tacoma, really). There does seem to be a lot of activity up north there, I get calls from recruiters all the time, but I just can't swing that commute at this time - or work all of the hours above 40 I'm

My sister recently finished a postdoc and her and her husband moved to the SF area (Mountain View), and quickly realized she couldn't do another one (that limit mentioned in the article I'm gathering). She's not had any luck

That's probably true, but at least in my school, the greatest increases had been in the last few years. When I graduated in 2008, 2009 tuition was increasing something along the lines of 7.4% Probably the majority of that 14 years it

I'm kind of baffled at the downvotes here, is this not a legitimate question or method of debate? I'm not spewing tropes or memes like on reddit. I thought here it's discouraged to downvote because you disagree as well as r

I agree with that, but if one of those things are right (the cancer part, maybe) but diabetes sure isn't one of those.

So are you arguing that obesity in children is happening because we are living longer?

Sure, I'm not doubting that SCFA don't have health benefits (or that Coconut Oil doesn't), but just the claim that this rice has "half the calories" or even significantly less. Making even all of the starch present

Soluble fiber which is fermented by certain gut bacteria[0][1] and product short chain fatty acids (2.5-4 kcal per gram). Those SCFA has a slew of health benefits which the article kind of alludes to but doesn't name. [0]- http:/

I've read though, that that same bacteria produces short chain fatty acids with some non-trivial amount of calories. Also, where is this coconut oil they are putting in going when they cool it? Wouldn't the fat from the coconut

Correct, workflow. Even with the tools themselves, rather than "best practice" it seems mind boggling using SFTP within the editor. With things like SASS, bower, grunt, npm and the like - it doesn't even seem like it'd

We use git and have branches designated as Dev, Test, Prod (etc) with webhooks or other scripts that automatically deploy the branches based on the workflow. At my last job (small webshop) it was automated, but my current job is more &quot

Hopefully in this day and age, you are using that plugin to SFTP into a virtual machine locally.

It's pretty impressive, then, and nonetheless, I'm just a lot less impressed when somebody says they have 10 years experience and it equates to 2 years of full time, enterprise or startup experience, and 8 years of "I'm

I think this is the right answer, it's pretty high level, and maybe more nuanced than "it's my tribe" because there's always infighting amongst the tribe, but it cuts to the chase, this whole attitude is endimic to

How long have you been programming full time though? I find too many people on HN are 25 and count "15 years experience" because they started programming at 10. It's just not the same thing, especially when most people only

Interesting. Just to clarify why I asked, I googled "MM millions" and saw the answer right away but a search for "BB billions" came up rather empty (I read the first result and skimmed the title and snippet for the first

by will_work4tears 12y ago
MM is often used to denote millions, but I don't think BB is used to denote Billions. Do you have a cite that indicates otherwise, because I don't see it on a quick search.

Great post, that's some vivid imagery. There's many great writers here on HN, though I'd like to mention that your style of writing is fairly unique (and very good) and might point to your main account, especially if your ma
