Certainly, from what I've seen, you can easily get away with little work at grad school.

Superficially speaking, it's a great way to scare a generation of to-be parents or those considering becoming parents into behaving responsibly. Personally, coming from a background where family members go to n-th limits to keep pregnant wo

Think about Galileo. For every stereotype you cite, I can quote exceptions and make it a circular argument. You did lump every "smart person" in your argument and I wanted to call you out on that. No ad hominems there, just a progression of

OK, as per your theory of conformism, smart people want to be accepted as smart by other smart people. That is why they are atheist in the current times. The fallacy of this argument is so transparent in that smart people are generally cons

This is just wrong philosophy masquerading as science or skepticism. The question of lightning finally got solved by science and there're always things which are beyond the explanation of current science and technology. That doesn't mean th

anyone who can understand probability in a half-decent manner wouldn't believe in god.

There's a rider to that headline. The effect is in UK, not the US. Here in the US, I do find that in the entry-level employers are more than willing to recruit people who get on-the-job training. That said, I hope they find decent jobs.

Helped a guy who was an acquaintance, who I thought was a friend move into my apt while in grad school with my other roommates, vouched for him, paid his part of the security deposit too. He turns to be of the kind who talks behind the back

Hugely informative article. A sarcastic thought just popped into my head. To make a snide remark: at least we Europeans don't do "Procreation for recreation."

LOL, the direction in which this conversation turned is funny.

Nonsense. Anyone who knows his talent and worth, and has an ounce of pride wouldn't stand being jockeyed or lowballed. If I figure at any interview that it's being played like the article says, I'd walk right out. It's the company's freakin

This is a dumb idea. Restricting what is quickly becoming one of the necessities of modern life and learning is a retarded way of dealing with enforcing copyright. People in the know will start using services such as relakks and other ssl v

Great article. Yes, I do believe the language you think in and speak affects the way your thought progresses. I had an interesting discussion following this article at work and a colleague of mine who is a non-native speaker of English told

That was a well thought out post. In addition to my previous comment posted here, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=217636 I forgot to mention that Yahoo is quite big in the non US, BRIC (Brazil Russia India China) market. I am not sure

Sorry but I got to completely disagree with Arrington's analysis. Yahoo is a media portal and they do graphic ads in search pretty well too. Where Yahoo went bust was in trying to usurp Google's lead in search. That is the only area where t

well isn't it better to just ignore TC? I mean it's easy to critique something, where once we had insight all we have now is backchatter. And seriously, this doesn't deserve to be on YC.

May work for blue collar jobs. Certainly not for any 60k plus jobs. The idea sounds second only to making videos for getting hired.

My angry response is: Nonsense. They can shove their internet where the sun doesn't shine. Rationally speaking: These blokes were given a free rein and tax breaks by Clinton to develop sturdy networks capable of handling great loads and red

Stunningly true, although the time scale has increased. What we get these days via TV and print is gossip that parades as news. I turn to the web to get actual news and for this I visit websites of the news dailies in important countries. U

That was a very good writeup. Yes, cities do mould people. What I am excited about in the Bay Area is the possbility of success and recognition. The thing here is, if you are good, you will most probably and in all likelihood be recognized

I'm not sure I agree with that. There's always colleagues and then there are friends. There are colleagues who are friends too. From my experience the corp world is good to you upto when you are useful for them. In startups that I've worked

I thought this was common knowledge. For those who are used to eating with an hour of getting up, the breakfast regulates the energy levels in the day. So it makes sense to align all the meals with a breakfast schedule. I've used this trick

His series on the Chicago radio is great. It's called "This American Life". I caught an episode of it on Showtime, the TV series is equally brilliant. It's good to see good TV like this at the time when cable's dominated by nonsense like Th
