This first concert in my mind is that while programming core concepts have not changed much in 30 years, the stuff you put on your resume has. Laws don't change very often and only in small details ways. A lawyer can still reference a

"The polygraph, for example, which measures physiological changes such as blood pressure, respiration and skin conductivity, only achieves an accuracy level of around 50%..." Where does that statistic come from? I've definite

Probably because the trigger would be sensitive to such low amounts of radiation that many sources could set it off.

How many minimum wage workers are there? If you only look at the number of current minimum wage workers there may not be many, but we are talking about raising the minimum wage to $15. That means everyone under $15/hr is affected. So,

How can they possibly know the accuracy of health predictions based on Facebook likes? I don't see any info about when data was collected, but I would think that you need at least a decade of data to make an accurate determination. Tha

Seriously? You've heard of engineers being hired for 2M? I want that job! This is a serious question. 2M is just unthinkable for me.

I think startups usually want young employees because they usually don't have families. It's not really about age, it's about time commitment. All those startups with "epic snack rooms", beer coolers, ping pong tabl

I'm casting my vote for "Screen Size Too Big!" I can't imagine using a device larger than the Nexus 5. I'll test out similar size phones in stores, but it looks like the size is a deal breaker.

This is all very interesting. I love a good grammar battle, but um... we're talkin' about bombs here!

Great article. Isn't it obviously that Ebola or any other deadly virus is unlikely to become highly contagious via air simply because we don't see mass airbourn infections very often. (Do we ever see them?) If such mutations were

"Comcast doesn’t monitor our customer’s browser software, web surfing or online history." That would imply that they don't even have a log of what requests are passing through their system. I find that extremely hard to belie

Maybe they are hoping that it will attract more attention from hackers who might do something cool with the data. I'd like to make an app that plots all of the purchases on a map, or finds all the military gear ordered near you. But I

I wouldn't call that title linkbait or embarrassing. It's clever, fun, and obviously a joke. It doesn't hurt the article either. IMO in order to be linkbait it must pump up your excitement with very little substance. For exam

I'm glad you made something you really like and use. Congrats on getting on Hacker News too! However, I love the smaller compose box. I can't tell you how many times I needed to look an another email while writing one. I was ecsta

Your demo video is too small to read any of the words and there is no sound. So, I couldn't learn anything from it.

This was a clever comment and arguably a hack. I do not appreciate being down-voted for it. Can we lighten up a little?

I built a treadmill desk a few years ago and I love it. It's tough to get myself out of my chair to use it, but once I get started I like it. It's definitely not an all day solution though. I usually start feeling tired after abou

"results to true if the length of 'hello' is zero." I'm glad they cleared that up. Otherwise, I might have assumed that there was no case where 'hello' had a length of zero. Joking aside, it is a useful sy

That would be an excellent bet for the person betting that the temperature will increase. However, it doesn't prove that human actions are causing it. I think most deniers do believe that the climate is changing - even that the temps a

I imagine that the policy must make exceptions and involve a cost benefit analysis. Any one with Kotka's level of experience must know that many companies don't rewrite their legacy systems because it is extremely expensive. Other

I was thinking of a 2d canvas context. Basically, I would expect battery consumption to be lower when WebGl is rendering 2d than it would be if it were rendering 3d. It just seems intuitive that 3d requires more computation. But I really do
