Anything like this in SF/Bay? I feel like there should be...
I've heard the same about Twitter. All they do is publish short messages, why do they have 1000 employees? There's always many problems that aren't immediately apparent but difficult.
That's certainly true, but I'd say most seasoned users on reddit don't subscribe to much of what's on default front page. The default reddits (funny, pics, f7, atheism, politics, etc) are basically as you describe.…
The OP got a message from the homeless looking guy and a new cipher that was much simpler and unrelated to the original cipher card. Basically proves to me that it's a stunt. Anyway, it's now: YOU HAVE MANAGED TO FIND…

I think so. I'm not sure, but when I deleted mine a while back I got texts from friends wondering if I was okay, or dead, or mad at them. So there was at least some way they figured out I was gone. It may have just been…
It doesn't look like your email is in your profile.
I completely agree. It's why creativity and general aptitude is more important than a focused expertise.
The only thing I'd add to this is how things move so much quicker. It takes time to find a new job. Like the Joe Smith example, a skilled worker is now unskilled because his job has been made obselete. Anecdotally, I've…
One thing from that article I completely agree with is that “[Mid-Size companies] need to figure out how to recruit and create jobs that are attractive for entrepreneurial people". It's exactly how I feel. I'm about to…
Some of my best times were spent with a stick.
For you, that is play. It's something you enjoy, socially. You explored computation instead of a park or creek. Unless coding is stressful for you I don't see how that's different than kids playing games outside.…
I had pretty much the same experience as a kid (I'm 22). As far back as I can remember we were pretty much outside until 'late'. I think the unofficial rule was to check in at streetlights on, and after dark be in only…
Something simple, but really useful for the map would be to select different areas/location with a marker. Returning to the list view would show the jobs for that area. The map would be for location search, the list for…
I don't think it's about them competing exactly. Amazon probably wants the Fire to be adopted over the Kindle, especially since the table market has been shown to be so hard to enter successfully (Apple was 95%? as of…
So, Amazon had a page that promoted E-Ink over LCD. Then they released an LCD tablet and removed the page. I don't see the big deal, I think the pros/cons of E-Ink are pretty well understood by most techies anyway. Now…
I think the community has as much to do with discussion as anonymity. r/programming, r/technology, r/hacking are pretty simmilar in topic, though with less emphasis on buisiness/econ. But the comment style is totally…
I'd call that a win-win as well. I do take the same approach and try to explain why it's more expensive, they tend to use the 'nephew' excuse to haggle down by a significant amount (A couple hundred for a medium sized…
Yeah, I hate "my nephew can make websites". I don't doubt that a high school student could put together a full website, with a store front or whatever else. But I'd be willing to bet it's not the most secure. I'm sure…

I think part of it is the cynicism that develops from bad clients. Some people don't understand that the designer is a professional. Designers just draw all day, and love what they do, so why would I pay big bucks for a…
Reading the other bbc story on the front page, it looks like the scientists are cautious about the discovery and not claiming that they found something. They found something that may be significant or could be an error,…
This. And if possible, add a subtle gradient on each curve. So, even without arrows on short lines the direction is clear. Plus it looks cool.
