>In 2012, when I first started using Uber, most of the drivers were college educated millennials driving a brand new Toyota Prius. Surely that's a historical oddity courtesy of the…

>There's nothing that implicitly makes something made in Canada, or USA, or Germany that much better than if it were made in China. I'd say that there is, sort of. Much of the manu…

There are vastly more vehicles on the road today, and people expect to maintain higher average speeds. Also, maintaining speed becomes exhausting on smaller bikes, for a variety of…

The best deal I've found for international use is Schwab. I forget the purchasing terms, but for ATM access they don't charge a currency conversion fee, and they even reimburse you…

Canonical is also ending development of Ubuntu software for phones and tablets, spelling doom for the goal of creating a converged experience with phones acting as desktops when do…

Just keep it inside a lucite display case like you'd use to display a model or figurine.

The cop dropping him on his face was horrible, but AFAIK everything up until that point was the correct course of action. The kid was refusing lawful orders. If a cop asks you to d…

Obama administration set the record in deportation I read the other day that this is an artifact of a change made under Bush that redefined deportation to include turning anyone aw…

You're not saying the same thing at all. Your statement assumes the process eliminates bad hires, while GP's point is clearly that it doesn't. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with …

It should probably be titled "42 examples of static analysis catching programmers outsmarting themselves".

There is no real difference between "help me" and "give me money". There's a huge difference. Actively putting in work alongside someone is a great bonding experience. Being "in it…

Did you replace the coffee intake with other liquids? Usually when I see people experience "caffeine headaches", they tend to be the types who get most of their liquid intake from …

I've come across more doctors and bankers on HN than on any other social bookmarking site I've ever read. It's not limited to a "tech forum".

And the Amiga had preemptive multitasking in 1985. :-) (It didn't have per-process memory protection, though, but it was a huge point of pride for Amiga users back in the early 90s…

Why? I'm genuinely curious, as I've only ever seen the book recommend.

Your entire comment came off as negative, the use of 'hack' is only part of it.

Vizio collected a selection of pixels on the screen that it matched to a database of TV, movie, and commercial content. I would like to know more about that process. I find it ethi…

Thanks for the comprehensive answer!

I have a basic question: what exactly is it? As a former Amiga user, I'm familiar with the Amiga's graphics co-processor(s). I actually forget now how many, I remember Copper and B…

Well, everyone has a different view of what is big or small, so your position is just as invalid. That said, I never said "right". I was quite clear about what facets of government…

I'm fine with the government as large as it currently is, I just want more of the stuff I like (infrastructure development, education, regulation enforcement, healthcare) and less …

Back when I first came to HN, comment quotes were usually in italics, and pre-formatted blocks have been used for all sorts of (ab)uses. I came back recently and now everyone seems…

Because your enthusiasm is your most valuable asset. Wow, no, that's not even remotely true. My years of experience and track record of delivering completed products is my most val…

That question is a symptom of the many problems in tech hiring. 1) interviewers spend all their time looking for any reason not to hire you, rather than looking for what value you …

I'd wonder a bit what enjoyment/passion that person gets from their work. Why can't someone just be a professional who generates value?
