The article isn't really about university admissions at all, they're merely provided as one cause of an environment which also has its parallels in startup life. Arbitrary illustrative excerpt: Whether American or…
A very good article, though I wish the author weren't so enamored with David Brooks clichés.
You're just annoyed that you made a bad decision with your money, and feel that someone else should shoulder the blame. Yet somehow it isn't the fault of the active investors who take all that expense cash in return for…
Looks like this could solve the problem of network interfaces renaming themselves after reboots. Hooray!
I have a lot of local video files, and I've (briefly) tried the Boxee software a couple times. It has a feature where it tries to identify that media, but I've found it to be comedically awful at doing so, especially…
No, they've both chosen a distribution model which is incompatible with any software containing GPLv3 code. Sure, if the code is 100% yours, you can do whatever you want with it since you own the copyright. But if it…
Here's a quick example of a case where knowledge of data structures and algorithmic complexity is useful, regardless of the language. Let's say you've got two lists, named "A" and "B", which each have 1000 integers. You…
Woah, you may want to learn about those. Understanding algorithmic complexity and knowing which data structure(s) to use to solve a given problem are universal skills.

Should that also be the case for age, sex, orientation, religion, etc? If not, what makes those so special?
I don't think your analogy works. Sure, half a cig doesn't make sense, but you can have a facebook account without handing over trusted information.
Of course it's our business, the difference between fringe cases and common procedure is whether we're willing to put up with the practice. And don't pretend that the prospective employer has no power over the…
This reminds me a bit of Scientology's policy of collecting and archiving secret information from their members, so that threats of blackmail could be made later on if needed. I think a good solution to this situation…
I think if anything frequent use of HN would reflect poorly on one's productivity.
Another telltale sign are the default margins, though I spose someone would sooner change the margins than change the font.
