0, but only because all of our interns are juniors and seniors (or grad students). In our area, CCs top out at the sophomore level. I would say the vast majority of our interns come from the local, 4 year state schools. We're generally not importing kids from "Top Schools". There's a good chance a good portion of our interns did indeed attend a CC at one time; that's a very common path to a 4 year degree here.

In finance, there is a rule-of-thumb called the rule of 72. Basically, 72/X = # of years to double, where X is the compounded rate of return.

Solving for your request, 72/X = 5, X = 14.4%.

So to double your investment in 5 years, you need to find something that will give you 14.4% return for 5 years in a row. That high of rate (in this climate) would require a fairly risky investment.

I'm in the US and pay roughly 3.5% of my gross salary as my portion of the insurance premium. I opted for the cheaper HMO (Kaiser) insurance though. My employer pays the other 2/3rds of the premium. (I'm single, no kids)

I assume he means the P/E ratio which is 10.79 right now.

Why did you decide on a two tiered system? I've seen aquaponic setups where the farmers are using a floating medium above the fish pool.

I just saw that this system went on sale recently too: https://farmbot.io/

It would be way cool to collab and create an AutoMicroFarmBot.

What features of the AMF are you planning for the next iteration/2.0?

My vote is somewhere between "mortality" or "fear of our own mortality". I'd like to think the humans to transform into a form of asceticism if the bottom layers of Maslow's hierarchy were no longer a daily/hourly issue and we knew absolutely that we had long enough to achieve the top layers of the pyramid.

Just tossing this out there. Could be an awkward name: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=V+card

A similar story was shared in the Wild book/movie.

Way cool. Just curious, are the Persied points in this map/diagram/art representations of actual known objects?

What about a game like Worms or Tanks? Simple artillery firing with destructive landscapes. Maybe two castles firing siege weapons at each other?

Do you feel bad for DVRing a tv show and then using the skip button to bypass commercials?

Hey, this is pretty cool!

A few suggestions; feel free to take or leave them:

-The playing area zooming towards the ball was really distracting and made playing difficult

-Create a ball speed setting or easy/med/hard

-Add mouse control. The CL/CCL arrows can be counter intuitive

-Give each player a different colored/textured paddle. I lost track of mine a few times.

Other than that, well done!

I thought the people who were killed by methanol poisoning was a deliberate side effect of the ATF adding it into liquor/beer supply in order to make consumers second guess their decision to drink.

EDIT: see denatured alcohol at any hardware store.

Do you know of any studies/articles that explore this idea? In the UK does any of taxes collected on the sale/manufacturing of cigarettes go back to funding the NHS?

Just about every grocery store in Oregon has those machines. I guess it depends highly state to state. When I was working for a summer in New Mexico, I was somewhat appalled how the waitresses at restaurants would collect beer bottles from tables and toss them into the trash.

I agree. The proportions are really award and not intuitive to view.

Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/IQT71nd

Maybe if check to see the proportion of user's screen and adjust the layout to a side by side vs top and bottom.

I'm pretty certain there no lights that have "weight" sensors. The sensors for triggering signal changes use large induction loops to detect when ferrous metal (a car frame) is near by.

Finally an HN question that I can respond to!

I would recommend reading this book for a very good, but broad and high level intro:

http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Materials-Management-Tony...

This will cover topics like BOMs, MOQ, Safety Stock, Inventory strategy, warehousing etc.

Next I would recommend reading up on the following phrases: "product development" and "new product introduction" / "NPI"

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Practices-New-Product-Introductio...

http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Product-Development-Flow-Ge...

Lean training/reading never hurts either. Note: this is supply chain lean vs "lean start up".

Does anyone know if these are visible light pictures? Or are they false colored images of a different part of the spectrum?

Don't forget Republic Wireless as well.

The gravity constant (or the density of the blocks) seems to be a little low. Like playing Jenga on the moon.

What's the difference between the 2013 kits and today's?

Edit: Answered my own question. http://blog.23andme.com/news/23andme-provides-an-update-rega...

Hey Jay,

This is really cool. One idea is it would be great if you could interface with EDGAR and gather the links to the various financial statements. The EDGAR database search/navigation is horrendous.

As another commenter said, it would be great if it could detect the company name or at least the ticker without the $.

Also, a failed query subtracts from the guest query allotment. That doesn't seem ideal as I'm first learning how to phrase my requests.

Lastly, mutual fund data would be awesome. Morning star rating, fund performance, fund assets, etc.

The only one not mentioned so far that I use is DownThemAll.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/

It's nice for when you want to download a lot of files that appear on a page.

There are a number of things (sex, homebrew, tax prep, massage, fishing, etc.) become regulated/illegal as soon as you start charging for them.
