That's the cost of starting a business impersonating a common carrier.

Please keep the discussion to how this affects Facebook stock prices and IPO or you will be removed by Hacker News' moderators.

Watch me make a grand jury disappear.

It is a community that curates discussion based solely on technical discourse of technical subject matters. When the matter is subjective people lose their minds because the only m…

This has been my experience. I'll stick it out for 6mos, but if there is too much hazing, bro-culture, weird expectations, the power dynamics within teams are upside down (usually …

You know, I've been a huge proponent for a long time that this should be an integral component to institute in tandem with online voting. With as much focus as you find in politics…

In making this argument to personal friends I have heard several times, "Well what about tow trucks? They have the right to enforce contracts on private property and they aren't of…

So I may sell myself as an "Engineer" to a company, but not the government? What if I'm asked my occupation during jury duty? Do I have to say, "code monkey" instead of "Software E…

Hey! I'll have you know I made a powerpoint over lunch today. I got to put a meme in it to keep people's attention. Its hardly mundane!

He had me up until he dismissed fears of North Korea as a rational actor to be baseless. Just because they aren't "CRAZY" and won't nuke Japan for the hell of it doesn't mean I wan…

My response has always been that a universal basic income would certainly guarantee a few good soldiers.

I propose a ballot initiative to make it unlawful to pass unenforceable laws.

My brother has a PHD in video games and I bought and read that book and he laughed in my face. He said its almost satire among people in academia like Barthes S/Z

I still remember using the Fraunhofer encoder when MP3 was first created. They released a windows app.

Anecdotally I've never seen it used this way as much as it is a frightening possibility. Culture fit has always been synonymous with, "lack of confidence" in my view. Employers wan…
