You'd probably expect a car company with the motto "Engineering future cars" to have at least one mechanical engineer on their payroll. Expecting a company whose tagline is "Engine…

How does water compare to Soylent?

It's difficult to hack around a state's desire for tax revenue

Working remotely (as absolutely amazing as it is) is only barely getting traction in some fields at this point. I generally agree with you and the ability to work remotely is incre…

Almost made this exact post... I was looking for a Photoshop clone for Mac and stumbled on Pixelmator years ago, it's definitely not as full-featured as PS but it's a fraction of t…

The word boss has a pretty specific connotation and your clients and customers aren't that. Yes, if you work for yourself you're responsible for delivering work to your customers a…

Yeah this seems pretty worthless without separating responses by location. Living in the city you're going to walk a ton without even thinking about it, and most suburbs/rural area…

Is it really under the radar though? If you're aiming for TechCrunch front page then being in SF is probably a much better bet, but beyond that hype bubble you can still do very we…

Sounds like you're not the epic rockstar ninja they're looking for anyway.

The lack of imagination here is just staggering. Holy cow. I mean first and foremost you're just getting a link to this directly, who's to say he doesn't also have a RESUME.DOC fil…

That's the thing though. We know that as of very recently the NSA is helping other alphabet agencies construct cases in parallel. If you knew the guy's name or handle or whatever i…

So, marketing?

In case you were wondering, that stock picture of fireworks was posted on July 4th.

Yeah that's brilliant, and it looks pretty great. This would probably make the whole thing much more complicated but it'd be nice if the "unused" days were invisible, and I agree t…

I still can't believe they actually thought that thing was going to sound like a real bass guitar.

You're confusing "a necessary grind" with "a necessary period where your employer exploits you for longer hours with no additional pay." You can (and almost certainly will have to)…

Actually the militarization of the police force comes from a coordinated effort to repurpose military hardware for domestic police use. [1] Kind of funny that the gear used to figh…
