I'm surprised DDG can donate so much money to open source. They must be doing well? Or is this money they've helped raise from their users? $225,000! That's a lot of money.

For what it's worth I only voted for pinboard because I like what they're doing. I didn't vote for any of the other startups. I didn't see the promotional tweet and I had hoped pin…

You know given the title and the bait it presents to a particular kind of people I should have known better than share with people a positive thing about Microsoft and to suggest t…

It's definitely more palatable than blindly bringing out the "M$" pitchforks but I guess if you were looking for something on HN to get your daily anger fix I guess feel free to us…

Microsoft is a huge organization with tens of thousands of employees. We have no idea what was communicated between this commenter and the sales person. At some point you have to k…

> I visited the homepage ( https://www.teller.io/ ) and got a warning about the SSL cert being invalid. Kind of ironic. :) The correct URL is https://teller.io and then you wont ge…

Right, people use to think this Satoshi was brilliant, and now if he is Satoshi all people will think is what a self-promoting and incompetent jerk he is. He should have just staye…

That's not how the F-35 was conceived or designed, not at all. It was a highly competitive contract with the requirements given to a few companies and they were given some amount o…

It's hard to see how you can have much success with this method. Current recruiting strategies involve getting from recruiter telephone call to final decision within 2 weeks, or 1 …

I find it very difficult to imagine how an engineering position wont benefit from having strong CS fundamentals. If you write code you need to understand how the code you are writi…

If you complain about CS requirements for software engineering jobs your complaints are going to fall on a lot of deaf ears because people desire competency. Dunning-Kruger is havi…

F-35 funding is through congress and involves congressional oversight and is a multi-branch project. It's not just the Airforce that has the F-35.

Thank you for your answer. > I'm not sure what you mean by mathematical operations or concepts that depend on this. I suppose I meant to ask if there was any practical application …

Within a segment of numbers I understand how there are more rational numbers than integers, but I don't understand it in the context of infinity. How can there be more rational num…

If that is the case was the universe once finite and then went infinite during the early (big bang) expansion? I don't understand how something could have expanded if it was always…

The concept of a Textalyzer also ignores the capacity for apps themselves to be the cause of the activity. For example IFTTT could be sending texts as a result of some trigger. The…

Yes, and a little bit off topic but I say the same things about Java too. Java 8 is also great and I hated Java 6. But I love Java now and I like C++ too although much of my C++ lo…

I wouldn't portray the uncertainty customers face with such a jovial note. Acquisitions are notorious for shutting down service and products that customers depend on. There's nothi…

That is some cringey completely self-unaware "our incredible journey" type stuff. Great things for everyone! Dear customers have a great heaping of uncertainty. Isn't everything so…

How is it bad? I've never had a problem with it.
