    I ran a coding bootcamp school that had both your typical pay-upfront and later added an option like you outline. I can't speak for all programs, but schools use an affiliate third…

    In the video someone else posted, it's said that the hydrofoils are independently powered https://youtu.be/Gvkx6oF_Zyk?si=PXTcckfCQzPZYmrR&t=660

    Interesting. My first thought was "isn't it wind powered? What are they powering?". Turns out anything below the water line like the hydrofoils are independently battery powered. T…

    I'm not sure this is true. Most (~80%) large venues are owned and operated by Live Nation, who also owns Ticketmaster. They also have exclusivity agreements with hundreds of others…

    "you will also receive free updates until such a time Version 3 is released!" This is what stops me. I've experienced too many instances of a full version upgrade with a sunset on …

    I understand and grudgingly accept the risk to the drinking water. My concern is the airborne pollutants (carbon from the generators, expelled gases, VOCs) that are a certainty and…

    Ask HN: How close is too close to live to a large fracking operation?

    Auroa, Co. We've been fighting a proposed fracking operation (160 wells on 10 large pads) for a year since it was proposed shortly after our moving into the neighborhood. Ultimatel…

    I can relate. Two days ago, I found a perfect match in a niche but complex fintech sector I have experience in as a Engineering Manager and IC. I applied with a tailored resume and…

    I've been hunting (as so many people are, now) for a new role in Software Engineering. A recent online application for an Engineering Manager role had only one question outside the…

    I'll bet many people were willing to pay that if executives and managers had there kids there. Daycare can provide unique kinds of networking and job-security/promotion options.

    The weight check slows the whole process down and I find I have to make sure I grab items with the cart-side hand or the system thinks I am trying to drop the item in the bag witho…

    I wonder if gaming consoles had a big hand in this? Going back to Atari pong in the early/mid 70's and I don't recall if any of the major players (Magnavox, Atari, Coleco, Sears) i…
