Are you all kidding me? This resume is amazing and if he isn't being super humble in describing most of his skills I don't know how he created this.

To be fair, the 5th avenue New York store consistently "over-indexes" (as the article puts it) with shoppers of Asian heritage. Until recently at least, it was not very easy to buy an iPhone of any type in many Asian countries, an

I feel like the mention of the NSA and PRISM in this article is so tangential to the issue as to be misplaced. Why mention the NSA here when there's no evidence or reason to suppose that they'd want to mass-collect our fingerprint

The first assumption the author makes, that "1. Everything Google does is open (either because Gruber believes this a priori, or because Google says so or someone somewhere believes this or something)" is missing the point. The p

Thank God! The current inspector is horrendous. I don't know how to find anything, and I use Xcode regularly.

Kind of misleading headline since he was missing(and possibly dead) since before the bombings.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I absolutely agree with your point. I actually didn't realize pinboard was a sharing service at all for the first few months that I had it. I wound up following one or two tech writers that I follow elsewhere

I'm not, but I'll definitely check it out. Since this application is so simple, it only requires one curl request and I just use the http authentication method. Working on this small project (and the comments here on HN) have definitely ope

That's cool. I hadn't thought of using a tag for this. As I said below in another reply, I just don't fill in the extended text or I mark an article as private in order to keep it out of the feed. A tag seems like it might be better though.

Yes, I should have mentioned that only articles that are shared (public) and that have extended description text are processed by my script. That way I don't wind up with any articles that have no body content and just a title and tags.

Thank you very much for the polite feedback. This is my first submission and I was expecting worse. I fixed the issue you pointed out.

Well, hypercritical is done now too so there goes that idea.

I definitely understand the feeling that the podcast has become stale. I still enjoy it very much, but topics have had to become more and more specific lately and as such I feel the show runs the risk of losing its "timeless" quality. Howev

Apple's real or fictitious woes aside, if the stock closed up 2.06 to 527.68 on Friday, how is Friday's close the lowest Apple has been in 6 months? Wouldn't that be Thursday's close of 525.62?

Could have used that $250 million to pay for big bad Obamacare that papa claims will force him to cut employee hours.

I thought John had written another article on the subject but it turns out this is actually two years old.

Does anyone ales feel as though the majority of questions like the example in the article are asked by children? I almost always assume it is a young child asking a question like that and one who is still in the process of "learning how to

Eh, don't bank with them yet if that's what you think. This industry needs pioneers and anything with the scale and complexity of a bank is going to have some bugs no matter how much testing is done in a private beta. Yeah, it's scary to th

I think it's one thing for the bank handling the IPO to cut revenue estimates and another thing to have to restate actual earnings because of a material weakness in your accounting practices. Granted, this is a bit shady, but bankers are a

Totally agreed. I know views are split on Gruber and I fell on the side of genuinely liking his blog and The Talk Show, but I think I'm done with both. I can't imagine how someone could do this to Dan. Hypercritical is the new hotness anywa

I was thinking the same thing. If you send out 100 resumes a week, how great a quality can any of them be? If only because of how exhausted and frustrated you get after sending out 100 resumes. Take your time, research some companies where

I feel the pain, but I also don't think there's much else someone in an HR department can do for you. There are no jobs and especially no entry-level jobs since they are the lowest priority to fill/create. What do you propose they do for yo

The complaint is so vague as to be meaningless. Let's give a specific instance in which google has acted unlawfully, not just that they deleted your account an you're pissed, which is what this sounds like.
