I worked on this hard in college. It was partially the "People age out of it..." that others mentioned... but there was one intentional step I did. I said yes. I made a decision in…

I didn't verify that he had an MIS degree... but MIS is definitely not the same thing as Computer Science or Engineering. If this is true it's a fairly disingenuous and manipulativ…

IANAL. I believe that protected classes in the US aren't identifying things such as, "You can't discriminate against a woman". Rather, what they say is, "You can't discriminate bas…

I'm with you - But in the US I believe this depends on the state. The "To catch a predator" show was specifically done in areas where the law included "intent" as a crime, rather t…

As a child I was diagnosed and took Ritalin for a while. My parents didn't like the way it altered my behavior. However, they then tried coffee twice a day - Breakfast and Lunch (I…

I'm actually thinking this is either "Kinect" on a tablet and/or eye tracking. The application specifically talks about additional sensors. being used to build apps. I'm not sure h…

Question on those 6 weeks. I've heard before that some countries include national holidays in there 5-6 week count. Is that the case here? Generally when Americans are listing thei…

I feel like anything like that has to be predicated on not being able to find any book. Which is certainly possible, but I feel like $DISASTER will probably leave behind some libra…

I agree, but that's the very definition of non practical. It doesn't work for 90% of the population. I feel like we should be searching, driving, for solutions that solve everyone'…

This doesn't show a full appreciation for gmail's timing. Prior to gmail I had 4 (5?) different email addresses I moved through with different services. For lots of folks my age (~…

I responded with something similar above. This was my understanding of the various laws (For some / most states).

But... Isn't this why it's legal for "Topless sunbathing photo of celebrity" to show up in the enquirer? They were topless in a public area (Sunbathing on a boat, for instance) and…

Serious question. If you consent today to let me take pictures of you nude... Don't I own the copyright of those pictures? Now, presumably if you and I were dating your consent wou…

You forgot the last line: > 'No problem, switch me over. Thanks. Bye'

I like that he is totally cool with switching back to business class. He is just confused that they're freaking out over the extra 50$ a month. That 50$ a month isn't covering the …

I feel like I repeat this anec-Data every time one of these posts comes up. This is all fine and good, but I've never worked at a SW company (8 years now) nor had a friend work in …

I'd say that if you copied 10 common "small" - "utility" apps that have already been done to death and worked hard on moving them up in search rankings and whatnot you could make ~…

There is a question of what constitutes a "small" app. For my purposes I'll assume small is - "can be made in a month @ half time". I know someone making a decent salary on about 8…

Ah BEEP. I had a grad school project to create a domain specific modeling language that allowed you to diagram the steps for communication and between to systems using BEEP. You'd …

I can't help but notice that you self identify as "jsmeaton" on HN. The name you didn't like, or choose, initially. What happens over time to change how we perceive ourselves?

It's a bit more complicated than this. I think you start hitting on the reality towards the end but get detoured by racism in the beginning. It's all about tribal identification. I…

Ah, here we'd only butter a sandwich if it were being fried (Grilled cheese or grilled ham & cheese)

I know it's a bit silly but the thing that jumped out about your comment and the parent comment is the butter. You butter a hame and cheese sandwich? Is this a cultural thing I'm n…

I made it to the robot full of prerecorded videos before my eyebrow went up and alarms and whistles went off in my brain. I'd hope that is the furthest anyone would have to go to s…

Using C++ professionally for a while now (College, grad school, embedded sw) the best two complete IDEs I've found are SlickEdit (Cross platform) and Visual studio. If you've not t…
