Oh please. How many MBAs do we need? Get a degree in something useful, then get an MBA.

> But seven months later, after getting rejected from every permanent job I applied to, I was feeling pretty discouraged.

Seriously?

Either he applied for 5 jobs in seven months, or there's something seriously wrong with the guy (horrible personality, horrible grades, can't answer interview questions).

That pretty much means that most Amazon ratings are bullshit.

Exactly. If you light the actors with warm light, the background would become blueish. These days you just set the right color balance, before they used corrective filters (slightly blueish in this case). The result is the same.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me (assuming the technology works).

Couldn't they just let the browser remember the password?

They definitely had a limit, but I think it was a bit higher (5K or 10K).

Same here.

This is sooo old. HN shouldn't have this crap on the front page.

I don't get it. It's a nice Tower Defense clone, but a clone nonetheless. There are hundreds of them out there.

I really hope people who approved and actually did this end up in jail. This is just way too illegal.

There's a lack of demand for $2,222 11-inch TVs? I'm shocked!

Is there a way to send the video stream directly to the other user, not through the server? Sort of P2P-like?

He probably means "2-3$ per megabit/sec".

So $14,000 - $21,000 per month. Still seems too much.

If your servers go down, how will JS files on S3 will help you?

I don't see myself doing this.

> Diamonds are the hardest known material

Diamonds are not the hardest known material.

1) Wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN)

2) Lonsdaleite

3) Aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR)

are all harder.

You don't understand how recruiters work. Imagine a candidate, you. Let's say you want a $100/hr job. Let's say there are no such jobs that recruiter knows of at the moment, and they know (statistically) that such a job shows up once a month, on average. However, they have a bunch of contacts that offer $80/hr jobs. Do you think they will wait for a month looking for your $100/hr requirement? Hell no. They will try to convince you to take a lower paying job, and then switch to the next candidate. In the end, they make more money by selling more recruits rather than just a few recruits with higher salaries.

Recruiters are the worst. You'd think it's their job to get you the highest paying job out there, but it's quite the opposite. Their goal is to sell you as fast as possible, regardless of the rate.

That's why you should never listen to recruiters telling you that you want too much. It's bullshit.

How the hell a $10 lunch is worth $10,000? Even if you work every single week (no vacation), 5 days a week, 52 * 5 * $10 = $2600.

Plus, you don't have to spend $10 for lunch. There's a bunch of places in NYC where you can eat a decent lunch for $5-8.

Ireland is very white. So there's no "acting white" problem.

Well, they way system is set up right now, it obviously doesn't work, wouldn't you agree? Basically, the government is throwing money at poor/minorities, and they end up having more kids.

Same exact thing happens in African countries. Every time somebody donates money/food, it goes towards procreation, not improvement of the quality of life or education.

I remember one successful African story. This group of volunteers instead of building a water well decided to involve the residents in the process. So they served as architects, while locals were doing all the hard labor. The results were really good - locals knew how to support the well. They became self-sufficient.

That, in my opinion, is the solution. It's a slow process, but I don't see many alternatives.

I'd prefer to live in the society where all people would have unlimited supply of food, water, heath care, wouldn't kill each other, have lots of fun.

Unfortunately this kind of "magical" thinking is a very weak argument, and just doesn't work.

Welcome to the real world.

This reads like a spam article.

Welfare. These low-income and minority kids know they won't starve to death, they think that learning is "acting white". Here's the result.

Oh well, better for the rest of us.

Shutter speed has nothing to do with the flash duration. You can have a shutter speed of 1/10th sec (to get background light) and the flash that's 1/10,000th sec to light the wolf.

Except you can't, since none of that works in IE.

How would you do this correctly without a calculator?

You basically need to do a calculation like this in your head:

100*(3 - 2.33)/3 ≈ 22.33%

Sue.

Working while in school is the best thing I've done for my career. Right out of college I had 5 years of experience, which is extremely important for employers. So after I graduated I got jobs that my classmates could only dream of.
