FWIW "Billions of dollars" should be considered in the context that 1 million people * $1,000 = $1 billion. The US is ~300m people. So, this headline is something like "1/3 of 1% of the US is putting an extra $1,000 in t

You joined HN 55 minutes ago, and posted this 2 minutes later. This may not be the best community for you.

I use this service and I like it. Many blog posts and engineering discussions tend to treat tools in isolation -- you're learning about Redis or Rails or Ember only. Being able to meet other engineers who use the same _combination_ of

Is "more frequent commits" really a good thing?

Good point. Especially that stat, because it is so volatile. So much of the wealth is tied up in the value of companies or other complex things whose value is illiquid, and whose value can change quickly. Still though, not like it's go

Awesome. Or, should I say that my self-generated perception after a compressed review of the literature has left me inclined to believe that the author is highly self-aware and wry, with their oral muscular hydrostat firmly implanted in eit

This is an enormously complicated question, and a good answer requires knowing a bit about your background and what you already understand about business. As for some high level answers to your three questions: 1) They lost a lot of money,

Take my, and everyone's advice, with a grain of salt. Few people have experienced enough launches to offer a very objective view of the patterns, so you're going to have to make the decision for yourself. As a rule of thumb, from

I'm sorry to hear what happened to your friend. I have no special knowledge on the subject, but I did a quick Google search. I'm sure you might have run across some of these before, but I wanted to share them since I'm pleasa

Akshay, it looks like you're the person who wrote this and posted it. Thank you for the contribution. It deserves to make the front page. This is insanely important and may be the best HN link all week. Any engineer who routinely feels

This being HN, I'm sure curious as to how this works on an OS level. Anyone have any ideas?

Cranston is the best. He is a fantastic role model for consistently showing up and putting in work, and if he's only a quarter as nice as he's been described, he'd be a fine drinking companion any day.

Umair is a total bummer and is being misled by his own intelligence. He's Nostradamus but with better marketing. People have been saying the world is burning for as long as there have been people, and they often have compelling argumen

It's ok. Sometimes people just post garbage or spam, which is why new accounts are displayed in green, so we know to be cautious :) Reddit is more of a general-audience kind of thing. It's like CNN or BuzzFeed, but the key differe

Nice! This is sure to be a time savings for a lot of folks. Why are some fields missing?

Given that you created your HN account 4 minutes ago, I'm going to give you a quick answer. If this is a real question and you post a more detailed question, I'm happy to give you more info. Reddit is an entertainment site for me.

One other idea that comes to mind: If you're talking about a company that's been around a while and has a big HR department, they're going to have a well-defined interview process, and you'll be playing by their rules. A

Wow, that's one big paragraph. :) It's going to depend heavily on the companies you're applying to. Do you have a Github account? That might help. Also if you've got a really healthy Stack Overflow account or similar, it

First off, accept that without spending huge amounts of money to solve this problem, you're always going to have to do some cooking. For context: I like to cook. I just generally have other demands on my time, and I need a solution for

It depends on what exactly you're asking, and what your goals are. Is the question: Can I earn a living wage for myself by selling my skills around setting up hardware and software for end-users? or is the question: Can I start a compa

Yes, you are good enough. Go apply, and never stop learning. A more helpful answer: yes, if you've successfully done what you just said you did, you are absolutely good enough to apply for jobs. You might not get the first one, you mig

I don't recommend the "have less scruples than the next guy" game. This is the sort of nonsense that was passed around in the 80s -- "business is war". There is an important difference between business and war: if y

Your first question is "can you make a conscious effort to get better at [being resourceful]?" The answer is almost certainly yes. Techniques for being resourceful are very specific to the individual, so what works for one person
