   Hmm.. let's not criticize the situation now because it was much worse in the past. But I'm not shocked you used that argument given your apologist comments on other posts related to the National Sorority Agency on HN.

   I kinda figured that part but to me that's a very very archaic way of thinking given that a significant number of people will eventually break the NDA and hint about bugs.

   I just never understood the grand benefits of imposing NDA on iOS/OSX pre-release versions. I can't picture this giving Apple a big strategic advantage over its competitors in mobile OS.

   The root of this problem, I think, is that Apple requires the $100 membership fee (and thus provide a developer account) even for testing apps on one's own device. If Apple, instead required this fee (and gave developer accounts) only

   IMHO, typing on iPad is stupid not necessarily because of the typing experience (I'm actually not terrible at it), but because the screen size above the virtual keyboard is too little. I want to write with a sufficient amount of text a

   I often get 24 hours on my iPhone 4S (with a few things turned off). And that's what Moto-X is promising. So I don't define that as "crazy good".

    People were mostly anticipating a crazy good battery and an unprecedented low on-contract price. Neither happened - time to move on.

    Actually advertising and marketing optimization is a very critical problem that hasn't been completely solved yet, especially when privacy concerns are taken into consideration. It is critical towards keeping the Web free and create a

    Should I start putting every substantial R/Python script I write, even if they are based on some tutorials, on the Github/Personal-Website? Is that how I "show"? I missed the Github bus for all my previous projects.

    Well, I'd rather get my shit done smoothly with my co-authors rather than take a principled stand and all that. Most in the academia do not wanna change their authoring tools, especially if they are 50+. And all of this is driven by on

    Genuinely curious - how can this data be used from a software perspective?

    I think the first thing that comes to mind when you mention "word processing" is compatibility. Most of us in the real world depend on Microsoft Word - can you guys promise not to mangle doc/docx files as soon as we open it o

    Does the author have any blog post or plan to write one about this part: "After some recent success of Bayesian methods in machine-learning competitions"? It will then be easier to translate Bayesian Inference to real world proble

    I think it's more of a confluence of "cheap", "perceived engineering smarts" and "spoken english" for the managers.

    I'm not sure why you keep bringing up the Brookings paper [2] to support the authors' case. They clearly said this at the beginning: "Without attempting to fully resolve this complex issue, new detailed data on H-1B wages by

    Table 2 in the Brookings paper says the opposite . " In recent years, from 2009 to 2011, nominal wage growth for U.S.-born workers with at least a bachelor’s degree has been high for the most prominent H-1B occupations. The average na

    I can't shake the feeling that for this crowd (to which the authors/researchers belong), the term guest worker has sort of become a code for "those cheap Indians". I'm also guessing the authors (and most people in t

    Thank you for responding to both the questions. Yes I had forgotten that other annoyance of iPhoto - enclosing everything in a library. Looking forward to using your service.

    I don't know what MHL HDMI is. How do I verify if I have one? My TV is 2009 Sony Bravia and it transmits audio (since I can use Apple TV).

    Can one of the founders kindly clarify how long it takes for a photo to appear on Mac once it has been taken from an iPhone, both being connected to WiFi? I have compared Photo Stream and Google+ for this scenario (i.e. taking photo on iPho

    I was thinking maybe as an investor I'd see this move as an example of "potentially" good execution and a possibility of Google playing well with media giants.

    So basically no expectation and hence no effect.
