    Not to mention even by that standard, owning your house outright and having 10x its value in wealth is not "financial anxiety"

    Am I misremembering it as progman.ini or are those different files?

    This is always misreported. It's true that we can't distinguish between two adjacent rgb values (in most cases, on most displays...), which is where this comes from. But as you say…

    But the cost to his ego for not meeting a milestone which receives even more publicity because of the big price tag is a big motivator (or at least one could argue) So even if the …

    But shifts in the market aren't independent random events. You can definitely find examples of dramatic, real shifts in valuation but in the vast majority of cases business value i…

    Don't know about the knock-offs. But Ecovacs makes a line of roomba competitors that match up as well or better and cost 75% as much.

    Probably not as expensive, but still much more expensive than it need be. We've got a bunch of perverse incentives where it's cheaper for the patient to choose the option that's mo…

    Hey Arjun, Congrats on your launch. You might want to disclose your interest in the product here, though.

    Not all Americans agree, but your laws only apply to your country.

    Spoilers: he doesn't actually use the output of the machine to power his site. Not that he couldn't... This pops up on HN or reddit every 3 or 4 years. I want to say he made it in …

    Heh, good to hear Google feels this pain, too. I work on the chromium codebase, and a 1 hour clean compile on a macbook pro seems optimistic. Luckily ninja and ccache do a good job…

    You have examples? Every startup I've been with has been many years to profitability and the common names follow that pattern as well. Some get traction, or maybe growth early on, …

    Is Uber making profits in the US market?

    Yeah, this argument really undermines his credibility. I do think we need a rational justification for the vote, as there has been some hysteria. If this direct response wasn't tha…

    I'm in the same position. And use the same day bag for train travel as my carry-on, meaning I've brought packs of razor blades on planes by accident more than once. (And a hunting …

    Gender may play a role here. I (male), too, have never been solicited. My girlfriend uses uber much less frequently, but has had it happen a few times.

    I thought that was the whole point of end-to-end. That you don't need trust in the server because the messages are opaque. If this is an exploit that can be performed by a compromi…

    Actually, it's gal. Point blank. Not used as often, because the diminutive term passes for an alternative among many.

    Can't touch screens give you a "receipt"? Particularly if it's validated by the voter, this removes the machine-failure hole where the optical scan fails for non-compromised reason…

    Ed, I like that you've kept that perspective without having to had experience it. TBF I don't think it's been like that forever, but it's definitely taken on the role of the primar…

    Having given a lot of complexity interviews, I value a candidate who says, "This is O(n^2) and it seems like there's a faster way, but I can't see it" over one who stumbles on the …
