It's a generic newspaper without a regional focus, unlike the NY Times, LA Times, etc. It's distributed nationally, and it's popular with travelers and companies who cater to travelers (airlines, airport kiosks, hotels,…
United States is a large country. $51k or $80k would be a nice salary in Arkansas. In the Bay Area it's low. What's your point?
"Just try again in a year" is a good option when you're young. But it gets less attractive as you get older, especially if it means abandoning an interesting project or senior role you accepted after "Company X"…
No feedback has been the norm, in my experience. Can be frustrating when the company asks you to invest 4+ weeks on phone screens, take-home projects, and in-person interviews, and then emails you a form letter…
Here's another source, Payscale.com: Software engineer (Canada): $51,000 (C$70,000) Software engineer (US): $80,825 The gap here is smaller ($30k vs. $50k) but still significant. And I'm not trying to be argumentative,…
If you want a MacBook-quality laptop running Linux, the obvious thing to do is put Linux on a MacBook. There's only an issue if the MacBook is out of your price range, or they Apple doesn't support a specific build you…
Access to the truth is perhaps the most basic prerequisite condition for it being useful. Once access is cut off, no other conditions matter.
>>> "if they do and they aren't, they're idiotic" There's an implicit question, or at least an admission of ignorance.
If that's a genuine answer, the Family Guy segment is based on a long-running advertising campaign by the Pepperidge Farms brand of baked goods. I guess I'm old.

How does buying over the phone avoid fluctuating ticket prices? Do the ticket prices not fluctuate if you call? Are they lower than online?
When you look at PARC's contributions (laser printer, bitmap graphics, GUI/windows/icons, WYSIWYG editor, Ethernet, OOP, MVC) or those of Bell Labs (transistor, laser, information theory, Unix, C & C++, radio…
I enjoy working in an office environment because working in my home can be isolating. But cubicles with low walls where I'm constantly seeing and hearing my officemates is awful. Who thought this could possibly be a…
You have a door?! Is your company hiring?
Best case scenario, it gains attention. Worst case scenario, it gains attention and I drive my car into a tree one night or spontaneously OD.
Part of me wants to make a really nice website to shine a spotlight on these corporate shills and track their offenses. Obviously, we can legitimately argue about the merits of some laws and regulations, but others are…
There are parts of SF I'd rather not be in at any time of day. That includes the area around Twitter HQ.
We have this big problem. We'll just patch over it with this other problem and call that a reasonable strategy.
I spent a few minutes browsing through the data, and immediately founds lots of mislabeled data, e.g. an industrial power washer labeled as a toothbrush sound.
With pool at least, I've had them charge me a fee when I cancel immediately. I was in a rush to the train station and accidentally booked a pool. I cancelled within a few seconds and booked an Uber X, but they still…
Certainly some of them are for undergraduate education, but I'm not sure they're top research universities.
The NN approach sounds interesting, but there are no technical details and it might be hype-based marketing. Is anyone familiar with solid published work on applying ML/AI to optimize network control (or, as done here,…
