> It’s not the fastest way to make a buck. It takes time. But it is way more sustainable than screwing people over.

Being nice != not(screwing people over)

Big difference.

So don't use facebook.

Ironically, I would have contacted my representative/senator already if the "Contact Congress" button took me to a chart/table/list of senators by district - or other way for me to do the contacting myself. I don't need any correspondence from FreePress.

Yes. This. The dermatological point is very, very helpful, but the rest of it is a grand-slam home run.

The sadness of early death is something way too many people have to embrace ... but there is also an element of preparation. For all the articles about preparing for a proper launch, preparing for VC, preparing for #whatever on HN, this is an element glossed over in most every circle I have ever been in.

To everyone: Get Term Life Insurance. To everyone: Get Disability Insurance.

Do your research, and be prepared - because life is coming regardless of your level of preparation.

Likewise. I've found that when applying it to people and relationships, simply asking 'why why why why why?' rarely makes it past the first two 'why's before it gets annoying and someone becomes combative. However, when I length any given 'why' to something involving acknowledgement ... 'Ah, so the battery is dead - why is the battery dead?' and vary the verbiage ... 'What happened to the alternator?', then individuals (including supervisors and others) often respond more positively.

Does B2B refer to "business-to-business" in this case?

This article is paginated. Annoying.

Thanks, NBC, for not giving me an option to stop from playing the next clip.

coding win.

Edit: I actually disagree with this method (although it's hilariously awesome), because having an item is not the same as having zero items. It might be the zero-th item, but it is not zero items.

Imaging science. If I were hiring another imaging scientist:

Write your own Fourier Transform. [If your FizzBuzz questions involve actually writing/coding the FizzBuzz, I'd not request actually writing it...]

Why?

1. Federal poverty level isn't a term [1]... >The poverty guidelines are sometimes loosely referred to as the “federal poverty level” (FPL), but that phrase is ambiguous and should be avoided, especially in situations (e.g., legislative or administrative) where precision is important.

2. Government instructing market isn't in the constitution, nor is it in Free Market Capitalism, nor the concept of a Democratic Republic...

>"You feel like you're different," he says. "Even though you're working in the same place, you're still like an outsider. And it's weird because you're actually protecting these people."

Because you are different. You aren't an employee; you're a contractor. When I'm a contractor, I don't expect to be treated as an employee by the organization contracting me ... because I'm not.

Finding the document with search isn't the issue. The issue is Google Drive not functioning as expected. (Call it un-intuitive or whatever, but the point is "everyone in my organization" to most people means everyone in their organization.)

> ... you shouldn't be using G+ as your "home" on the web.

Just cross off everything after 'G+'...

If I leave him in level two for too long, will he lose a life?

[More than] 100 Groups supporting a rally requesting $30,000 factors out to $300 per group.

Why are you asking me to contribute, even if I support your idea? Yes, perhaps I can't be there ... but I'd rather spend my money by being there to support the rally. Don't we contribute to these groups so that they can promote their causes? ... and subsidizing travel for folks who live nearby? ... like organizing ACORN carpools from one polling station to another? (Vote often kids!)

Seriously! and $100/mo.??!?!

... but the govt. shouldering their responsibility? Psh!

YES! +1k.

> Some used Facebook as a forum to make rude comments from the relatively safe distance social media provides. This is the sole purpose of facebook, as far as I can tell. Give a loudmouth a microphone and then try to ignore them as they shout as loudly as possible.

... and I reference the "Facebook experiment" article a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5811564

> - You get the basic income whether or not you’re employed, any wages you earn are additional. > > - The welfare bureaucracy is largely dismantled. No means testing, no signing on, no bullying young people into stacking shelves for free, no separate state pension.

Self-contradiction.

You and me both, amigo.

Unfortunately... "UPDATE: In an about-face, Cambridge University has now confirmed that Hawking is indeed boycotting Israel."

Someone wanted to start a flamewar.(?)

The simple fact that the author posted anonymously demonstrates two things: 1. Whomever wrote it isn't proud enough to put a name to it. 2. It's a problem enough to warrant anonymity.

The West is also a great place for climbing (geographically speaking) - far better than many places I've lived... but I'll also vouch for climbing being a great activity. Ultimate Frisbee as well.

According to my local celiac authority: "because the atkins diet and south beach diet went out of style"

So the government wants everyone but the government to be restricted from something? Go figure!

How about just smaller government?

duly noted.

Not necessarily; what is a Paypal payment? "Money Order" implies simply a monetary transfer in some circles, similar to a Western Union/moneygram transaction.

As an exceptionally loyal employee, I've been released to rejoin the workforce more times than leaving on my own accord. The first time I got the shaft, I tried to be courteous, but the employer (Fortune 500 co.) wasn't interested in feedback or anything other than the bottom line. The second time I was dumped, I was trying to be a good person and follow all of the author's recommendations.

IMHO, the linked article is good for an individual leaving a positive situation with positive experiences and positive opportunities, likely surrounded by positive people. Many commenters seem to be stating that most situations are not all win-win situations. Many times employees or employers are disgruntled at best, angry/fed up/desperate at worst. The article is great for situations where all is hunky dory; in reality, that's usually not the case. YMMV
