This has a lot to do with the analysis. How much control does Amazon have over the company. That's why they point out in the video that the drivers have to wear Amazon vests (and g…

I've seen two reasons. 1) Backward compatibility--you would have to add an additional security layer, and some old legacy switching hardware (5% of the network?) wouldn't support t…

But how do you enforce this? It seems like most of the US spam calls originate from India. Do you have to get cooperation from Indian authorities? Seems unlikely since it's helping…

Many have noticed that the super large sizes at Costco, etc. often are more expensive per item or oz. than the sale price of a regular size at a Shoprite or whatever.

At my kid's daycare, they sent home an authorization form to allow them to use your kid in pics that might be posted to the internet. Some parents declined out of privacy concerns.…

Probably what was meant by "Though probably balanced out some by being 10 year old data by now."

I never got into gaming. Never bought a console. Seems like I wasn't missing too much.

Hypothetical: A group of people from a specific race and culture recently came into a country and make their living primarily by stealing the wallets of tourists. If you had to gue…

As an interviewer, you should be aware that there is a split on advice given on this topic. Half of the folks say to send an email, and half say not to. Several recruiters have tol…

I don't think he's talking about personal fulfilment. His take is more simple. He's saying don't do the following: "I created a piece of software, and it works pretty good, but I h…

I'm a lefty, so fountain and liquid ink are out due to smudging. Unless I use a hook grip (also known as overwriting). Which, come to think of it, was probably why I was so bad at …

And while I was taught repeatedly in school that all the Irish folks came to the US due to the potato famine, I don't ever recall anyone mentioning the forced exporation of other f…

I used to have a 45 minute driving commute each way to and from work. I listened to many non-fiction audio books (on cassette!)during that time and would often listen to them over …

Do NYC grocery stores publish pricing info in an easily accessible format?

Exactly! Everyone's been conditioned that Data Centers = higher electric bills for residents. Of course, another option is for politicians to put any added costs on the data center…

Definitely not a perfect memory. But yeah, I can't say I've ever been "touched" or "moved" by a movie. I'm usually looking at my watch trying to figure out how much longer I have t…

Why do you guys "buy" movies? Like, you plan to watch the movie many, many times in the future? How many times do you watch a movie? Just curious, because I've never had a desire t…

Are there supposed to be article titles? It just looks like giberish to me?

This is great. The 8-bit aesthetic fits great with baseball. Reminds me a little of the old Backyard Baseball video game. I was thinking about using the feed to ring a bell in my h…

Yes, but Hans, that one rogue guy in engineering, did get assigned 100% of the blame from the PR dept.

My son had a Mac for college. But then the accounting department gave out assignments that required a PC based software package. And it took quite a while to crunch numbers. So I e…

I just got a refurbished Surface laptop for like $350 on Amazon. I only bought it for traveling, but after I set it up for work, I've been using it now for three weeks and it's a p…

I wonder if the AI's that replace us will be periodically web surfing and checking HN as part of their daily work flow?

I think it's just the culture. I'm old. I used to regularly read long books. Now I can't even get through a 20 minute video unless I'm walking or driving. I mean I could if I had t…

It took me years to notice that folks who confidently made stuff up or provided incorrect info in meetings were looked upon favorably. No one ever knew or cared that the thing the …
