Ha, right? Easy to talk about morality and such after they’ve already cashed out.

It's odd that you admit you don't know what went down but are still passing judgement.

Even if he did, he didn't interfere or impede rescue efforts and gave them a tool they could possible use in the future. It's cool and a nice thing to do, and doesn't really seem like a big deal.

Did they live longer because of their diet or because of their reliable access to food?

My favorite novel on the topic is Fooled by Randomness

"Where do authors like OP get the idea that I want to go to the movies to have politics shoved down my throat?"

A lot of people seem to want this, given the fact that dozens of political movies are released every year

They don't have 300 million people living there.

Cool analysis. Doesn't every player use the same die for a game like Catan?

The vandal was sentenced to 9 years in prison? That seems quite high to me. Do tree vandals normally get such harsh punishments?

Is this your blog or is it a coincidence that your hn username is the same as the 'chinese 3d-printing expert' from the article? It's not really that unbelievable that there's a woman who's capable of using tools and building the things that she wears... Whoever wrote this blog is either really close to the subject or has a very unhealthy obsession.

It doesn't sound like your problem, and maybe the person they report to thinks the employee is doing a good job.

You're not their boss. Don't review their performance.

However, you shouldn't be afraid to provide constructive criticism to any of the people you work with. So if you see them implementing a solution incorrectly, suggest a different approach, and say why.

also that it is very unethical for the US government to find some vulnerability in android/windows/whatever and not report it

Useful. My only concern would be performance.

Louis Rossman (the guy who makes mac repair videos) had this happen to him too, and did some investigating of his own/connected the dots between the Yelp salesperson and the person leaving 1 star reviews on his business page.

How were you able to identify that there is/was a need for farm accounting software?

If you knew someone in particular worked as a member of the CIA/NSA or as a politician, couldn't you (possibly unknowingly) sell their personal browsing history to a foreign adversary (and give that adversary leverage over the individual)?

Neat. Is there a PDF version?

Yep... I know people who were affected in the same way you described -- encouraged to work remotely, so they bought houses in other states years ago, and then told 3 months in advance that they would need to return to the office. Of the people I know, one chose retirement, a few chose to leave, one chose to relocate, one was allowed to stay remote.

"the severance payment will be equal to one month’s base salary, the standard at IBM."

Worth keeping in mind that this is the new policy as of about a year ago (they changed it before the big waves of layoffs last year).

Before the change you would get a week for every 6 months worked, up to 23 weeks.

If I had a dollar for every time I've seen a kid at a restaurant playing on their IPad while the family eats...

1st question is Linear Algebra

2nd question is Calc 2+Differential Equations

3rd question is probability/stats

an analysis class would probably help as well

I guess it's pretty feasible to take all of those in a year, especially if mathematics is your area of study. This wasn't the case in engineering in my experience. In any case, this wouldn't be so bad with a 4 year degree. Not really any harder than other PhD candidacy exams I've looked at

the intro to this video explained the calculation very well (up to 1 minute)

"Some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit, they blame everything in their life on somebody else."

The ungratefulness of this guy... saying this to one of your drivers, one of the people who is directly responsible for the success of your business.

Without him and the thousands like him, Travis would be nothing.

seeing as IBM just sold their chip fab to globalfoundries, this seems unlikely.

It seems a bit odd... spying on people on a massive scale, nobody goes to jail and only a $2M fine

Does Uber have the capability on their platform to disable the service in a specified region (JFK)?

So did I miss the boat on getting rich off of selling survivalist gear?
