From what I understand if you work at a gas station, you get a phone call and they tell you to change the price on the sign, right?

ZTE apparently paid bonuses to 30+ people even though that were involved in some kind of violation. I bet Wells Fargo well also pay the CEO and the board very handsomely.

>My Nexus 7 has a pop out cover, yet when it fell in a stream of running water, it never even shut down. Opening it revealed only two small drops of water. Plus, battery contacts d…

Sorry for off topic but it is a difficult topic and goes beyond Wikipedia. I read on hacker news the complaints that many (even peer reviewed) studies are never reproduced because …

If one person owns all the land, they (or someone they authorize) can boot anyone unwelcome. This makes life much simpler because you can sidestep a lot of issues and focus on what…

That's scary of that's what is required of a ceo. You would either need to be an oracle and predict where the industry will go or you'd need to make the industry go the direction y…

In my opinion, you don't even need Marx for this. Even Jeff Bezos reportedly said "your margin is my opportunity". So if some product is expensive without being scarce, it is proba…

Why can't Linux use gpl v2 or later? Because Linus doesn't want to?

This is interesting. I don't have a routine of what I eat for breakfast. I just improvise every morning (: do people usually eat the same thing every morning?

We could still work from home and have time where we meet our coworkers? I read somewhere that gitlab is trying out something like this. I'd love to learn wrist they conclude from …

Don't forget the English who recently promised Scotland so many things before the referendum and conveniently forgot them once they eeked out a narrow victory. Democracy isn't just…

I'm OK being "instantly" terminated as long as you pay me for the duration of the notice period.

Or sugar because apparently we don't need fructose in our diet at all.

Sorry but nobody is for small government. Nobody is for a balanced budget. It is a farce. We all have two piles: a. Things we want the government to do b. Things we don't If you're…

I was one of the people who went ape over uac. It wasn't that uac showed up too much. It is that the devices were not capable of it. I think I've been vindicated by the subsequent …

I still have great respect for the Simpsons. I think future American TV history will have a special place for the Simpsons.

I think the point is that most of us believe we are better than average at salary negotiation and that is not true. I won't hide my bias. I abhor wall street journal and articles l…

I think someone mentioned that politicians in India enjoy wide freedoms due to generous libel laws as well.

> The article suggests investors think of them as an intel, not an apple. So like Intel in the sense that they are a chip fabrication/mass manufacturing company that happens to des…

No, push back against insane requirements. Why do we want to style input? Bill them for a custom solution if they want a custom solution.

With fedora and gnome, I don't even dnf upgrade anymore. When I turn of the computer, I just check "install updates" which is unchecked by default. This is how updates should work.…

I couldn't do bumpy and jupyter notebook Even though there are tutorials online.

$50? Nice find. I have come in possession of a t42 with a cracked display. I've set it up so I can ssh into it but it seems not worth the hassle because 1GB RAM and core2duo (afaik…

Thank you. This should be the link in the title. Better still, we should reassess https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13434938 and ban direct links to pay walled sites.

I remember listening to the book on BBC on a program called off the shelf. Such a great book.
