I really like wine, but my knowledge is not that extensive and in particular drops off pretty rapidly outside of California wines. Even within varietals and regions I’m familiar with, I don’t always know what characteristics to expect from a specific bottle - will this zin be peppery? Juicy? Etc.I built an app to streamline this. You set what kind of wine you’re looking for and your price...

I would argue that for a Distinguished Engineer to have as much impact as a run-of-the-mill VP, they have to be the best at the world at what they do.

Ask HN: Open source tax calculator?

I want to create a budget application for my own personal use cases. I'd like to be able to calculate both withholding and end of the year taxes. Are there any open source libraries that would help me do this? I'd prefer python or C++, but would work with any language.

I logged in to look at my usage history, because I thought "I can't possibly use that little" when I saw the 3 month average. I don't. I use about 2x what they said my average was. Anyone else see this?

My best guess is the averaged October's data so far with the past two months.

Switch jobs. About 2 years experience is a good time for a switch. You probably won't find a $5k/month raise, but you might get a $5k/3 month raise.
