Agree on this, and not just in tech. I work for a large financial co in NL (~50k employees) and 36-hour contracts are the standard for all full-time employees. 32 is considered part-time for us. Regardless, most people certainly work 4 days

A lot of the arguments here, whether for or against the idea that this achievement 'belongs' to the U.S., miss an important point. Not everyone working on past, current and future Mars Exploration Programs is an American citizen. The fundin

The original NYT article was posted to HN almost two years ago. The comments from that post are worth a read: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1743513

Instead of debating the merits of reading due to the fact that you can't remember what you read, why not improve how you read to drastically increase how much you remember. Why not (re-)learn how to really read. Of course, I'm talking o

This is an incredibly ridiculous story. This student is exactly the type of person Hollywood should be nurturing: a creative student with vision, perusing his creative 'dream' and not letting his limited means get in the way of his vision.

I would like to hear the other side of this story, though. From what I understand, sellers are the ones that get stiffed in almost all PayPal disputes. As a buyer, I'm not surprised you had a good experience. Note: As both a seller and a bu

Given the timing of this poll (and it's European-bias as of 10:30 UTC) I would have been interested in a breakout between the European subregions (Eastern/Western/etc.). (Although I guess limiting this as much as possible is desirable, othe

No, it's not Parenting Magazine. It's also not bodegajed Magazine. Like many have said before—to others who stress a dislike over an article that made it to HN's front page—if you don't like an article then flag it, ignore it, and/or don't

There's also another way of making money from advertising: flat rate. While I'm opposed to the idea of ads on HN, if it were to be implemented I can't imagine PG looking at CPI/CPC methods. Rather, I suspect advertising space would be 'rent

I just read that the Bletchley Park Trust needs to raise a further £1.7m on their own in order to 'unlock' the £4.6m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.[1] Time to get that bank card out of my wallet. [1] http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/

No, I don't think this is taking pedantry a bit too far. As other replies to the parent comment show, people seem to feel that this sort of abuse (meaning the registering of absurdly generic trademarks) is typical of a large organisation li
