Back when "street photography" meant snooping on unsuspecting women with zoom lenses

I personally wouldn’t consider someone’s awareness of another building’s collapse to be expertise, but hey it’s the internet

What’s your expertise on this subject beyond armchair quarterbacking?

I like my current bodywash. It smells great and it’s got a cool plastic dispenser mechanism. Overall incredible

Beginning with Lutheranism, it was their unwillingness to convert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism

Prior to Lutheranism it was their unwillingness to convert, see Spanish Inquisition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

If you're seeking some negative stereotype that's true about them, you'll be disappointed to find out that the main one was their unwillingness to convert.

From an actuary's perspective: is Google Sheets ever entertained as an Excel alternative?

Thanks--I learned some valuable vocabulary today! "Click-and-query data" was the phrase I did not have on hand.

I have never worked for a search engine company (or devoted much time to SEO), but I would suggest the click-and-query data advantage is invaluable to cementing Google's supremacy over any newcomers.

I don’t think making Google’s index public would be sufficient. Their real core asset is not the index but the historical engagement data they have of searchers’ interactions with the index (both on the results page and offsite analytics Google has access to, eg Google Analytics/display ad network).

Making that historical engagement data public is not feasible/realistic, IMO.

Comments like these are a great reminder of how disconnected HN comment section can be from reality. That pricing is nothing.

At that price, if it helps close 1 incremental sale a month per seat it pays for itself.

Music is great--doesn't matter whether YouTube or otherwise. Do what's good for your mental health

Chalk this one up to several lessons learned:

Clothing is so cheap now that if you’re taking a 2-week trip you’d be better off buying clothing at your destination and throwing it out at the end instead of paying for checked luggage on your flights.

1. Technologies & lifestyle decisions

2. Sporadically, 1x a month on average

3. AWS S3 + Cloudfront, to control recurring costs and support spikey traffic

Interesting—-do you have a source for either of these statements?

Elaboration is welcome

Congrats on your realization, the world begs to differ.

What VR hardware do you use this with?

Of course they can, why would anyone assume otherwise?

No need to be cynical. Content can be both helpful information and buzzword bingo.

Why do any of that?

The single most overlooked aspect of this is how many Chinese are employed as part of Apple’s supply chain. It is not in CCP interest to destroy millions of Chinese citizens’ incomes.

It is--of course--"possible" to code Java in Vim (that's how I did my job interview ;) )

I feel your pain though--in the time it takes Eclipse to open you might have solved your problem in Vim.

"The vast majority of our competitors will likely lower their rates even more than 0.25%" is silly FUD

Personal Capital & Betterment are lowering their rates on their high yield accounts by the same 0.25%

Any alternatives to Slack with parity screensharing functionality?

Being able to draw on the screen is so valuable for remote pair programming—Hangouts/Skype don’t cut it

Can you run a one-off instance like “heroku run <command>”?

Suggesting that $25/month is expensive illustrates how insanely cost-sensitive this community is.

Don’t come to HN for a representative take of how people in US businesses evaluate vendors and their pricing.

Do you know how much it cost my employer for me to spend an hour reading about Kubernetes?

My go-to line on this:

> If you spend 5 minutes Googling this you’ll know more than me.

It’s short enough, if flatters and encourages the recipient, it demonstrates modesty.

Much better than RTFM!

What would you say was the trigger?

That was actually my favorite thing about The Big Short—the author did a good job of showing how the traders first to short the market earned the least and experienced the most distress.
