I didn't know that. That's actually a good explanation for the why.

Possible, but is there any reason to believe so? I'm open to hear it. The whole point was that companies like Comcast don't give a crap what we think and will engage in this anti competitive behavior unless the FCC stops them. Don

It's probably because none of the hysterics or doomsday propaganda actually came to pass.

I guess that argument makes sense, but then don't expect a high return rate or complain "I've applied to THOUSANDS and nothing! What gives?" The last time I was in the market was September and I didn't have much tro

Several hours definitely isn't required. If you are a good match for a job your resume should already be a stand out, so all you need to do is read the listing and submit your resume (plus whatever HR system hoops they make you jump th

My company is hiring a senior Python dev and we've rejected at least 95% of applications so far. Many weren't even Python devs, most weren't senior (no, getting that title 2 years out of college doesn't count) and some h

Is there anyone in your network you can ask? Even reddit is willing to give you feedback.

I sympathize with your mentality, but you most certainly do not have that right. With a few very limited exceptions in Texas, in the US you have to be defending against a deadly threat. Breaking into your home with ski masks is usually seen

So capitalism in practice compared to a perfect democracy where the powerful few handle their power without becoming corrupt? Well obviously the theoretical system wins here, but it sidesteps the biggest problem that people do not handle po

The prosecutor would argue it at trial and a jury would decide if the argument is convincing beyond a reasonable doubt.

We have an entire legal framework revolving around the dissolution of marriages and the surrounding issues. Its kind of a big deal (and has nothing to do with God, who the government does not enforce contracts for). Churches can (and do) en

A strange sentiment for someone who's wasting time heckling articles on HN. Of course nobody said don't go outside or pursue non tech interests.

Why is it unhealthy for people who have the discretionary income to want to spend it on newer, higher featured cars? Seems like a simple preference.

I am not a Rolex owner or even a fan. If you meant Seikos high end products you should have said those, no one calls Grand Seikos just Seiko since they are very different. With that in mind I don't think we disagree very much here.

The article is about rolexes gaining value over a particular decade. The idea that those 10 years will just happen again (that it's not in a bubble and this is sustainable) is a foolish gamble imo. Basically everyone pushing this is an

Some Rolexes will appreciate, but not all. Knowing which ones will appreciate is like art or cars. Especially at the entry level you'll most likely be fighting for grey market prices. "It's an investment" is usually just

Now you're just making stuff up instead of doing a simple Google search. Regular Seikos (ie a Seiko 5) can expect around +-20 sec per day. Same with Orient and similar brands that use very cheap automatic movements. Rolex watches often

The above poster was pedantic, rude and certainly not writing for your benefit... I wouldn't waste time soliciting their opinion on anything.

I live in a high-rise which has a mail room so maybe I'm insulated from whatever factors lead to that (porch piracy obviously, but something about Amazon specifically). I didn't realize it was that bad, only getting 83% is insane

Maybe it varies by location because in Chicago it's extremely rare for things to take more than 2 days. In fact they've been stepping up next and same day delivery for a lot of items. That being said, I'm actually moving in t

No it isn't. It's a plea from a journalist to trust that they actually have one and have the judgement to vet if the source is any good. It's no more credible than the reporter, and I've never heard of this one.

It's pretty disingenuous to act like the two are similar. I also never weighed in on whether governments should ban such things or not.

I have to disagree. I did both community college and a top ranked tech school for undergrad. I also know someone who attended some CS classes at this school but went on to get a CS degree from a mid ranked school (he was a chem engineering

The scientific term is Variable Rate Operant Conditioning. It's where you press a button, have some chance of a reward (winning money or seeing a video you like) and can immediately play again. It's the same mechanism. From rats o

I wasn't aware of that. Are they similar and eaten as a significant source of protein?

There's a big difference between eating trace amounts of stuff you can't totally eliminate (at least not easily) and making it a component on purpose.

I'd wait until some longer term studies come out on the meat. Humans have no tradition of eating them (edit: looks like i was wrong on this point). I'm not conceived it's healthier and I'm totally convinced the people pu

I really regret not archiving my projects as a kid. I didn't care to save much of anything back then so they got lost to various HDD crashes and migrations to other systems. I started programming at 11 and don't have anything I ma
