This was awesome. Thanks for posting this. My eyes are still recuperating from the site. I loved the Ling's response in the the comments section: "Yes, many people will take one lo…

Aah. Brings back bad memories of commuting as a student with no car in the US for my co-op jobs. One of the large companies I worked had a liberal vacation policy 4 weeks after 5 y…

I like number 3 - there is no editing. As someone once remarked: I am not a writer, I am a rewriter aka editor. Life is a constant edit. When I am first start something and I feel …

It does not matter that the person who did this was a woman. Use of stolen SIM lands person in jail.

MSSQL is easier to optimize at last for me than say Sybase and Oracle, which I also supported. People can bash MS as much as they want but their products are dirt simple to use and…

People wonder why "women" find certain fields distasteful. came to HN: Number one topic for comments - about a "Woman". Why say she is a woman? Depressing. Is it required? No it is…

I know, I know what swag I would like cool transformer toys. The norm is to appeal to 8-10 year old boys. I ain't. But I am a geek at heart. Also those stupid mental rings and stuf…

I am starting a translation saas company. I should get insurance in case of "mistranslations" - where does one buy this kind of insurance in Massachusetts?

Wow - Why is this not the number one article in HN? WHY!!!???? Losing respect for HN.

I used to worship institutions such as Bell Labs. But I guess when you learn how the sausage is made, it takes the luster off of things. The book, My Life as a Quant: Reflections o…

evernote can be addictive; however it mangles code bits I use a text editor along side with the IDE so I can add notes as I code;the same way as physical notebook but I can paste c…

Very interesting. Here is a nice synopsis of a case studied in the Influencer book about the Carter Center helping to rid Guinea worm infections in several African countries: http:…

I go up and down a step - 50 times twice every hour. Unlikely stairs - you get little help from momentum and so burn more calories. Plus I raise my arms up and down at the same tim…

I can not recall that exact title of the book something about ants and elephants (looked on amazon - did not recognize those books) but these are my takeaways from it: 1. state you…

I like the feel of it. I tried putting "gold" and it kept going back to spa. I would remove the e.g. or eg; just put the item that you think your ideal customer would look for. You…

Thanks for confirming that you went to wrong site. CaDealerQuotes.org is now filled with filler pages. The general feedback was that domain name did not match content. The new site…

I disagree with you; Fox also agrees with me on this point: If the company can overuse its employees, it will regardless of what they are paying for salary. If you are going for mo…
