The pando article says 150,000

Is $1 a large project?

Military = "government contracting connections"

Legal Boies = "government regulatory connections"

Engineering = passing the Bechtel test. [That one is a bad joke, sorry]

Holmes is all they have: a PR-friendly cargo-cult attempted zuckalike

Strange to cite a "friend" when stating a basic fact about how web browsing works.

You think mobsters can't learn black hat infosec?

Because mobile browsers are bad at layout, except Opera which knows how to reflow text on zoom.

The only problem Opera has is that the comment input box is to wide.

The NYT managed to put together an absolutely massive printing and diatribution operation. If editorial cared about putting a citation in a story, they would do it. Getting a journal citation right is no harder than spelling the scientist's name right. Tech talent is not the blocker.

There are many body functions besides muscle growth and fat burning. These functions require vitamins.

Why are they trying to gain weight? They can't convert donut into muscle. Donuts for a sugar feed while working out, sure.

Newspapers usually don't cite their sources because they don't want to drive traffic away or get their facts proven wrong. Subarine PR and native ads are where sources get cited.

Facebook is a scary example. Facebook is 1% open source contributions funded by 99% proprietary walled garden. Scaled down to something like rubinius, the scale fraction would be something like working a proprietary company/job all year and writing some open source on vacation days.

Indeed, I have read that women can be the most rigid and cruel sexists.

The compilers thing sounds like a made up story to give her am interesting bio. None of the news stories about it have any details.

She obviously didn't write a C++ compiler worth selling at that age in that time period , so at most it was likely some sort of off-the-shelf reselling sales gig.

Is everyone at FB so young that they don't remember 2G in America?

The Guava authors believed Iterable would be confusing without calling .asSet() first.

@Nullable already does that.

The most profitable companies on earth got their by having a time horizon of longer than 8 months . there are critically important things that you can't measure on a multiple choice test

New Math assumed young students had a capacity for mental abstraction that most young students simply lacked.

Also, like every other reform, it suffered because math illiterate parents (who know basic by rote by more) didn't understand their kids' curriculum.

Students with high aptitude (including many here on HN) thrived in New Math and became among the highest achievers in adult mathematical activity.

"How" and "Why" in headlines are standard clickbait tactics, just like "7 Ways". HN bans the latter, and should ban the former too.

What does he do where he needs creativity some weeks and not not other weeks?

Ultimately, there are certain patterns of thought that are both instinctive and harmful. (For example, ranting about a problem without solving it.) Becoming aware of when you in one of those patterns , via meditation or CBT or listening to your life partners, can help you think in a more helpful way.

Are you saying that staying employee as a programmer is correlated to being unmarried?

Magnesia also lacks nipples.

If it made the front page of Hacker News, it wasn't a "private" joke.

Reread parent post. It says "conspiring to do economic harm", which they did.

Not all humans are cute, either.

Applicative didn't exist in 1998, so 1998 code won't have any Applicative code that conflicts with the new language spec.

You mean production code doesn't look as pretty and toy code. Production code that performs well is well written and idiomatic if it follows the common practices of production code.

Bangs are well written and idiomatic Haskell code. Haskell is a default-lazy language. Good code uses lazy algorithms (to avoid wasted work) and strict data structures (to avoid space leaks), so efficient data structures need the bangs.
