I profit when I break my own leg and use my health insurance to go to the hospital. At least, the money I pay is far less than the value I get out of it. That doesn't mean I intent…

The engineer's perspective. Talk to someone in sales about how to spend your lunch. I always go out to eat, and I try to go out to eat with coworkers. I find that the best discussi…

This. Stay at a company if you enjoy the work, the people, and the projects. Quit if you want a new role or promotion. That's the easiest way to do things.

Lawyer, immediately. There's a pretty good chance the non-devs will just re-build whatever you built anyway, but they should at least have to pay for it. You can set them back a co…

I can't read brown on yellow.

An art history degree is worthless to most people, especially those who need the help in the first place. What would happen is that lenders would only lend to degrees and individua…

$400,000 is on the extreme high end of dentistry school. Moving and attending a school for half the cost makes much, much, much more sense. But people are stupid and don't like to …

He's doing a lot of negative bashing on twitter, and it sounds like he has some vague ideas of the freedom his job should allow him, while at the same time not having a true produc…

Two scenarios: 1.) Nothing happens. No one uses auroracoin. 2.) Auroracoin becomes successful, and the government of iceland makes it illegal like bitcoin. When the problem is gove…

My source is open for my side projects, but it is not open source. If anyone wanted to learn from or copy my work in non-substantive ways (say to solve a different problem), I woul…

"Fiat currencies (money) are pegged to real assets and backed by governments, which give their valuation credibility." LOL. "Pegged to real assets." Hilarious! It's like this autho…

Nope. The variable name is bad.

Does anyone think this is going to change? The people of San Francisco don't want new development, but bemoan the effects of supply and demand. I'm guessing that businesses will mo…

You're missing the call to action, fellow peeps. The problem isn't that the text went out with stubs - it's that the products and articles were designed without any clue to what th…

n. You have to account for the case that the light is on and the tallyer is the first to enter the room.

Awesome. I've been fighting to unsubscribe from things for 3 years. From catchall filters that insta-delete to battling inscrutable unsubscribe pages, I'm pretty close to no spam. …

Don't you just wish every city and place could just stay the same forever? No. "Losing its soul" = Changing in a way I don't agree with, and maybe I'll try and use government to st…

"Maybe the jobs are gone forever" - Good analysis, economist. This article is full of bullshit 'maybes' and aggressive 'income inequality' overtones. I don't know how this garbage …

If your position is "may", you're on shaky legal ground at best. Regardless, he would be forced to shutter his side project with a CnD, since I doubt he's willing to go to court.

133 commits? And you have to violate copyright or trademark to learn? Please.

Maybe spend an afternoon learning up on copyright and trademark law. Why would you spend so much time on something that clearly violates the intellectual property of Nintendo?

Another income inequality article. Get off hacker news and stay off.

I've started flagging these stories. It doesn't matter how many men or women work in particular careers. Technology is only singled out because the pay is high. Where are the artic…

You absolutely need to "design down" if you want to support all of android. Go build an app with a reasonable number of users and you'll learn this the hard way.

It's a crap addition that cheap people demand instead of buying phones that can hold more on flash. At least, that's the only argument I've ever heard for SD.
