He was interviewing at a startup dude. They probably didn't have a hiring manager and have no clue about how saying stuff like this can backfire.

Which, incidentally, Android does.

Can anyone explain the interrelation between sports players and college for me? We don't really have such a concept in Australia as far as I'm aware. Am I understanding correctly t…

We're creating an environment now in which it is practically impossible to discuss this topic in tech. Our general irrationality and desire to completely and utterly jump down the …

Honestly I don't think any part of the question is genuine. It's all basically a setup for complaining about his coworkers.

Pretty wild. I opened your first link maybe 20 minutes ago and the price was $650. And now it's $750. The volatility is just crazy.

A great deal of intent is telegraphed by how you say things and the words you choose to use. Starting out with something like "[the agreement] could help all of our economies and s…

Accessing this from Australia it still shows as available and you can order it. Must be geography specific (presumably, while inventory still lasts).

This article is from August. About a week ago, the situation got much much worse. S4BB, the offending company, submitted another 138,792 apps: http://crackberry.com/s4bb-submits-ad…

I don't think "making out like bandits" is accurate at all. Tenured academics don't seem like they make all that much money and I think most would make more in corporate.

This entire post is absurd. It's almost entirely analogous in my mind to the idea that because there are books that perhaps feature words like "sex" and "miniskirts" that this is o…

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Android yet. When you add in the Android factor, Java is probably still one of the most widely used programming languages today. It's funny the a…

I wonder if people will look back at this period and shake their heads or if things are only going to get worse from here on out? Is our obsession with these gizmos a temporary abe…

I think maybe only two or so years ago BlackBerry had over 17,000 employees so in total we're talking about more than half of the company being cut in the space of a few years. Hug…

I live in Australia and use Whatsapp and so do lots of other people I know.

And at the same time as releasing this, they've just laid off 40% of the company. The tried and true PR tactic of trying to hide bad news: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014241…

Your post is the one that's hard to take seriously given that you continuously to refer to the poster as "he". Near the end of the article, she writes: "I'm a single mother working…

I think the difference here though is conferences like this are intentionally positioned at being more casual and less formal/professional. I doubt lawyers even have similarly casu…

I wonder if the biggest reason why things like this keep happening is because we're all on a state of "high alert" in the tech community. Hear me out. Right now in the tech world w…

In case anyone is wondering, what motivated me to submit this was simply the fact that while I've known about this section forever, a quick poll of people I know who visit HN revea…

What really annoys me about Dark Souls is the shitty PC port. They're still selling tons of copies of the game for PC because of all the silly hype around it, and yet the game is v…
