I don't see much of a value add over Concur (https://www.concur.com/).

Using it on my iPhone combined with a corporate Amex account I can import my credit card transactions and tie them to expenses, snap photos of receipts, etc. I can easily add receipts as non-Amex expenses and it tracks it in the report.

At the end of my trip my manager approves the report and I get two disbursements - one a direct deposit to me for personal expenses and one an automatic corporate payment to Amex to balance the corporate card.

Last time the roundtrip from trip end to payment was 48 hours.

Just to be clear - you advocate fining UCSF for a decade of back-fines as well, right? Since their shuttles do the same thing.

Or are we only ok with bullying the tech companies back?

They also give you a pretty large amount of storage for life.

Likewise in Pittsburgh, where the paramedics have been given protocols for hypothermia, ROSC outcomes for arrests are much higher than the national average.

That's not at all true - at least, not for diabetics that will go into shock or experience acute symptoms.

Diabetics experience a "honeymoon" period where they will experience some symptoms - almost always enough to trigger a trip to their PCP, urgent care, ED, etc. where they will be diagnosed and put on a treatment plan.

At most they will experience one event of being "very sick" if they don't get checked out at all during the months-long honeymoon before its found.

If most diabetics didn't know they were diabetic, most diabetics would be dead.

I agree - but I'd say Google is a bit of an outlier. Many software companies have non-competes with more limited scope by virtue of their product being related to one specific industry that you can't compete with.

So maybe its more of a "maybe you can" thing.

I'm not sure I agree, for many reasons.

1 - a lot of grads have loans to pay off, and that $100k/yr job sure helps get it done quickly so you can focus on anything you want without that on your back.

2 - That $100k/yr job can help you meet a lot of great people to work on projects with at a later time. A lot of SCS grads come out having done nothing but stare at code for 4 years (I'm one, and I was saddened by the number of my classmates who made no connections on campus outside of SCS, connections that would be vitally useful in a startup). Working at a great company in the valley can help get you into the startup scene in a way that Pittsburgh might not.

3 - Nothing says you can't work on a startup outside of the 40-50hrs/wk you put in at your 100k/yr job. SCS grads are used to loooong work weeks; a normal work week seems short in comparison, especially right after graduation when you aren't (probably) supporting a family or anything else. That leaves time to make money AND try out some projects.

4 - Not being part of a startup =/= slaving your life away. There's a lot of great, rewarding work to be done in the valley and in the tech industry, it isn't an all or nothing thing with the all being becoming a startup founder. Being part of a company growing quickly and doing cool things can be just as rewarding as being a founder.

Most if not all TSA officers are not sworn officers, I believe. If you notice at airport security checkpoints, no TSA agents have weapons, a few actual police officers stationed there do.

I've never smoked weed, yet I can identify it instantly. I've been around people who smoked it enough to know exactly what it smells like.

My iPods (1G and Video) never had sample songs on them. Just saying.

Yes because he clearly knew they would be such a success at the time he was negotiating contracts. He made the standard contracts, which is what you have to do, because you can't just change the terms later based on how successful something is or isn't.

This isn't a case of Lucas being exceptionally greedy. Maybe its a case proving how 1-sided Hollywood contracts are, though.

Makes absolutely no sense. MyBART isn't even related to BART, its a site to find activities that you can take the BART to.

Of course, I don't expect much more from Anonymous.

We are a very young species

Having worked at venues I can tell you that the person that did this job was likely "local crew" and someone who was probably thrilled to be doing ANYTHING for the band, MM's related or not.

In the US at least, there are many opportunities for paid internships. All the major tech companies offer them - Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Zynga, Boeing, Lockheed, etc - and many of the smaller ones do (though in smaller numbers). At almost all of them, interns are treated as normal engineers and put on teams as basically full time employees with an end date ~3-4 months after they start. They are paid very well (competitive with what a FT employee would make for 3 months). The internship can, and in many cases, does result in a full time or reintern offer.

The thing is, you have to be able to cut it and basically interview as someone who they would WANT to hire as a FT after a year or two more experience.

I'm a CS student, near the end, and let me add at least one or two things to this list:

- Meet a lot of interesting students outside of CS

- Go to at least one random social even that has no connection to CS

- Minor in something non-technical, or at least take a few classes

Not to detract from CS at all, but it discourages me how many of my classmates spend 4 years doing nothing but computer science and never think/learn anything else and become even the slightest bit well-rounded. So many of them barely socialize at all for 4 years, even within CS, much less outside of it.

There's more to being a good student and having a good life than knowing the ins and outs of programming languages and kernels, and your career will benefit from being a little rounded.

What you are suggesting is exactly the circumvention of a system designed to take into account mitigating factors (this is why there is a mitigation section of sentencing).

You suggest that the responding officers at the scene of a crime (no matter that yes, this was not a violent crime or one committed with malice) become the judge.

That's an incredibly slippery slope.

And in this case, whats the officer to do? He can't just magically arrange free or reduced cost medical treatment for the man he was just called to arrest for attempting to rob a bank.

I don't know of any, but on the other side of the coin lets consider that the net penetration 11 years later is much higher, and maybe the ROI of print advertising for their demographic is not as high.

Seems to me it could be he doesn't want anyone emailing the guy and tipping him off that the owner knows who has it and that the app is tracking the laptop until it can be recovered.

Its unlikely that any of the guys friends read HN, but its not that unlikely that some idiot seeing the blog post would send some email to the guy that would alert him.
