The sad part is that it's Carly Fiorina's fault for turning HP into the mess it was. And now she touts that as the reason why she should be president. It's a sick joke that she thi…

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can say that HP would actually care about.

I would have thought Market Street is the longest, although it changes its name from Market to Portola to Junipero Serra and then turns into 280.

You said SF, not Silicon Valley. Degree is not relevant, no one in SV cares. There are plenty of people that don't have college degrees that have very good jobs. All that matters i…

Don't waste your time flying in October. Companies will be applying for H1Bs in April, and they usually run out on the 1st day. And even if you get an H1B in April, you can't start…

Internships in Silicon Valley are most certainly not unpaid. The company I work at pays our interns really well. It sounds like you need to increase the breadth of your knowledge. …

Not that error handling is unimportant, but my opinion is that C is about focusing on resource usage, and keeping very close track over giving back any resource you take, including…

This is a quote from Michael Lewis' The Big Short, I'll never forget it: Obsessing over Household [Finance Corporation], he attended a lunch organized by a big Wall Street firm. Th…

I used to use Ninjatrader. It has integrations with a lot of brokers, and you can write C# algos. The GUI is pretty good the last time I used, it so overall I would recommend it.

Articles like this really strike home how huge this world is. I feel ignorant when my first thought is that we should be able to locate a cruise ship in the ocean, but I clearly un…

The comparison was between self-driving trucks vs drones, not human-driven trucks vs drones. Obviously those are going to be cheaper than whatever current technology we have. And t…

Drones have the capability of delivering directly to the final destination, unlike railways. In fact,Amazon could redistribute their inventory between warehouses overnight dependin…

I don't think energy is the driving factor. There are a lot more technical challenges associated with self-driving cars than self-driving drones. Self-driving cars aren't even full…

I think drones will leapfrog over self-driving trucks. Why even bother having things that drive on roads when you could fly them directly to a warehouse, over hills, forests, river…

This is why drone technology is very interesting to me. If you have drones flying around that deliver things directly from docks to warehouses, or warehouse to warehouse, not only …

How much do you want to bet that "someone" was actually your boss, but they didn't have enough guts to say it themselves? That sounds like a terrible place to work, good on you for…

You could get sued, but in the US you can get sued for anything. But you would win the lawsuit. "Revenue" can mean anything. Look up the term online, for example http://dictionary.…

I think this is vastly over-exaggerating. Unless you specifically state that you are using the GAAP term "revenue", revenue could mean anything, just like "made" could mean anythin…

How exactly do they do a fair comparison between 1880 and today? I'm assuming the temperature readings today are very accurate, but how accurate were the measuring devices going ba…

Try to get more sleep. This happened to me when I was sleeping less than 5 hrs a day for months on end. It's probably a combination of sleep and stress. When I decided I would slee…

Politicians in Congress are explicitly allowed to insider trade based on information they hear about. This is why congressmen's stock portfolios are far more profitable than an ave…

I'm curious what patents Sidecar holds, if they truly were the innovators, and if they can use that as some sort of advantage against Uber and Lyft.

This is exactly how news is created these days, unfortunately. "Cancer cure using garlic!" is actually "Long term study of 1000 garlic eaters shows a 5% decrease in the incidence o…
