His argument might have had some merit if he'd talked about the posh working conditions at Nexus factories. For all we know those are made at Foxconn as well. And don't just blow off people's concerns about data mishandling. "We haven't don

But, as the article states, where do you draw the line? You could argue that someone changing radio stations was "willfully negligent." It is not up to insurance companies to decide legality or enforce the law. If the driver was found to be

Personally I wouldn't call it "Bayesian" so much as just "a conditional probability." The question doesn't ask what the probability is that a randomly selected participant is an engineer, it asks what the probability is that a participant i

I think this has to be the case. My friend has a lower HW and midterm average than me, but he got the letter and I did not.

So if something doesn't help every single person in the world, rich or poor, it's not a contribution? Wow, you have some high standards.

Yes, this font is a terrible choice for white-on-black. And as for the dark-dark-dark-suede-on-black portions, forget about it.

More evidence: nomoremongo and nmongo have some differences in their writing style. nomoremongo uses semicolons properly, nmongo does not. An even bigger difference: nmongo doesn't capitalize his Is. "Maybe i already work for Fox News" "and

I feel like they almost get bored with projects and then just let them stagnate. It seems like once they launch something, that is pretty much the final state of that project. I am not sad to see them narrowing their focus a bit if it means

"NoSQL databases may only have partial or no sql support." Really?! I never would have guessed. I mean, it's not like it's right there in the name. They go on to state that if you need RDBMS features, you should use an RDBMS. My mind is bei

You can't collect unemployment based on two weeks of work. Try again.

I don't understand how she is able to collect unemployment benefits... it says in the article she left her previous jobs on her own. We can't really guess from this article how much proprietary information was involved in her line of work,

It's not a game, though. It's a professional utility for gainfully employed designers, who can either expense it to their MegaCorp, or if they're independent, consider it an investment in their career. Think about how much the Adobe Suite c

They can write it in VB for all I care as long as they make it stop completely screwing up and deleting my bookmarks.

This is why I stopped reading the dev mailing list. It was too frustrating to see (IMO) awesome features and suggestions constantly swatted down for (again, IMO) stupid reasons. Not searchable through search engines? Give me a break! I didn

I had an empty dialog box pop up on load that just had an "OK" button. No text ever loaded so I finally just clicked it. The whole page took like 20 seconds to load and I can't use my scroll wheel. How annoying. And yeah, I can't use the ba

Unfortunately a lot of people can't afford to be picky about how they earn a living. I bet a lot of people on HN have stories about working for sleazy companies and having to do things they didn't believe in. People enlist in the military f

This is good advice. I worry that you've already put up barriers with your ex-boss, but if there's any way you can salvage the relationship, perhaps they could at least reinstate the credit to you on the site. You aren't going to win this o

You agreed to work without a contract? You LET yourself be taken advantage of. Don't make it sound like you were an innocent bystander. I'm sorry you are upset but it really seems like you did everything wrong in this situation. You need to

This. I love how the author takes the fact that Microsoft/T-Mobile haven't issued an official statement on the cause of the outage, and decides that it therefore MUST have been caused by an elaborate and sophisticated act of sabotage by som

"I'm sure that I could hook up an external USB mouse, but I wanted to do things the 'mac' way, so I worked without it." I keep reading this same sentiment from everyone who tries out a Mac. Please don't bother. The first thing every Mac use

I think he's asking if it's OK to steal the guy's idea and do it on his own, because he wants to license it himself.
