Definitely. You can always visit SF, but remember that from SJ SF is a series of populated cities, some of which you've heard of (e.g. Palo Alto). San Mateo is nice (great downtown…

EXACTLY. But so many of these transplants have this simplistic idea about the Bay Area, that it's SV and SF and that's about it. Oakland has an awesome tech scene (ever hear of Pan…

Say it with me: San Francisco is NOT the same as the Bay Area . No, most of us wouldn't be able to afford a decent home in SF proper. But SF is just one city in a large metro area,…

She is not a manager. She was unsuccessful in management at Google, and if she succeeds at all at Yahoo, it will by pure luck. Her only strategy seems to be: imitate Google, and go…

No, they'd end up getting hit again and again. School was designed by women for girls, and so it plays to typical behavior of young females.

What I understood from the article: * the author believes labels are about to go under * once labels go under, there will be fewer bands, because making music takes a lot of money,…

Nearly everything this guy writes is a big long humblebrag.

most dev-ops and sysadmins don't know ruby I beg to differ—if you call yourself a devops person and you don't know Ruby, you're somewhat rare. Yes, yes, python, blah blah. But most…

It's a new company, same as the old company. Perhaps with even less competent management.

It's not broken. It's evolving, and right now, OP is seeing things that he doesn't like. Don't worry, they likely won't last.

It certainly isn't based on earnings. Mayer will be out as CEO, in disgrace, by 2015, and probably earlier.

There are hyped figures floating around, yes, but the Tesla story is quite remarkable.

Is there even a Perl6? Last I was paying attention, Larry Wall released a spec, everyone argued about it, a few people tried to do reference versions, and no one completed anything…

I can't live without iBart, so definitely giving this a shot. Thx!

It's relevant mainly because HN covers almost anything of interest to the hacker community, including medical issues.

You just don't hear it. You also pronounce words like "party" as if it was "pare-tee".

Yeah, I so reject this myth. The areas you name have a clear, non-standard accent, and on TV or radio would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. The "neutral" accent you're im…

What the hell is "San Francisco liberal?" If you actually live in the bay area (which != "San Francisco") you know this is just bullshit made up by conservative outsiders.

I don't know that they are actually even considering this. This is just a video version of an article in which some Wall St. pundit speculated that Netflix could "tighten things up…

Confirmed that this worked for me, although I had to do it twice and restart the browser before it "took."

Define "talent." It doesn't mean "anyone with a CS degree."

+1 -- let's not confuse JSON with AJAX. JSON is a data format, but AJAX is an async technique for exchanging data between a browser and a webserver. It originally used XML (the 'X'…

Although LivingSocial is guilty of pretty poor decision-making (SHA-1? really?), I found this article more sensational and scare-mongering than substantial. salting in no way makes…

Anecdotally, when my son was a baby, I definitely knew his cry, and it felt instinctual (although in truth, it's probably just subconscious recognition).

Exactly: as a businessperson, are you really going to take the risk (even if small) that Paypal will, effectively, steal your money?
