Interesting conclusion. No explanation.

Whereas some people I know have twitter and very few use it regularly, I have never even met someone who has a G+ and very few people I know would even recognize it as a social network over a simple rebranding of their gmail account.

I think its a fair thing to check for. People leave school for a variety of reasons, not all of them are because they were exceptionally talented.

One of the worst antipatterns in web design is a website that asks you "sign in or subscribe" to read this article. Well. I signed in, and it directed me back to the home page, tried searching for the article, now it wants me to sign in again, which I do, then it directs me back to the home page. Now I guess they have one more account but I don't have access to the article. Thanks WSJ

Can we get a mirror up?

Ahh.. thank you. We touched on this in philosophy courses but my specific courses did not cover it in depth. Thank you for explaining the notation for me.

Sorry to be negative, I did get through it but the end of the second was where I had to stop for a second.

I found this description disjointed and difficult to read.

Thank you for contributing exactly nothing to this thread. Go fuck yourself.

You're right, the major selling points had nothing to do with ease of transportation

This would have been an interesting article if it didn't try to expose the highway system as some giant racist conspiracy.

People on this website have told me my politics degree was useless but then I see this on the front page.

Finance

I thought this was like construction nails before I clicked, which is actually an equally interesting topic according to my friend who owns a contract business. Apparently it has been harder to guaranteed high quality nails in recent decades as a result of cheap manufacturing abroad.

"schemaless" nope

If it didn't need that kickstand I think it would be perfect for me

I would qualify that and say "learn both but not at the same time." I found that it was only after I started learning my second programming language that I really started to appreciate many aspects of programming and understand which concepts are specific to languages and which others apply to programming in a broader sense.

No matter how badly I was doing in the interview I would walk out when I saw the engineer pull out his phone and start checking messages. How embarrassing for the company to have someone that disrespectful conducting interviews. An interview should be a conversation between potential peers and him pulling his phone out is just as rude as if you had pulled out yours because you were bored of hearing about the company.

At first I was like "not another framework" but then I looked at it and this is actually very nice.

He/she's trying to seem intelligent by dismissing psychology. That is why it is speculation.

This isn't tumblr...

Hey! Get those facts out of here!

Its not like I ever looked at BuzzFeed as a trusted news source. Honestly I am surprised that they aren't paid directly for every one of their articles.

This may be an unpopular opinion especially on HN but the fact that you can do this sort of thing in JavaScript is one of the reasons that I am not particularly a fan of the language.

Edit: I was right, it is not a popular opinion and therefore not a valuable one. Let the downvotes rain.

I had a class with Trenton Merricks and I remember him bringing this up. Such a strange story.

nevermind: go to the link and remove the portion that says "htmlview" and then reload. It's not available right now because of the heavy load.

any way to save this as an excel file?

Sabotaging Customers: I have no reason to believe that they would ever sabotage me.

Restricting and Shafting Customers: I have never had a problem with my kindle or any other media from Amazon. If I ever do I'm sure I can find an alternative source in a matter of minutes.

Censorship: They are Amazon's servers and it is their right to enforce their rules on them. If Wikileaks believes that they were unlawfully cut off then they should take Amazon to court.

Exploiting workers mercilessly: good luck finding a retailer that has not done this at some point. This is an unfortunate reality as far as I am concerned and while I support fighting for better worker's conditions, I see no reason that refusing to buy through Amazon helps the problem.

Shafting others in the publishing world: I'm not a publisher, their industry is none of my concern. If Amazon is so bad for them then I'm sure there is another way they can sell their books.

Dodging Taxes: The government should close tax loopholes. I don't blame Amazon for being competitive. If it's legal it's fair as far as I'm concerned.

Other reasons: These all seem to be trivial to me though I don't feel like typing out the reasons why.

I've never had a problem with Amazon particularly and this article seems rather strange to me.

I think we can do better this time. I'm optimistic that these new "certifications" will be ways to continue learning after higher education, or a way for people who didn't have that opportunity to learn gainful skills

Agreed, I wouldn't call it a necessity but its kind of an aesthetic thing for me. It's not exactly a deal breaker but for a couple of extra bucks on an expensive keyboard why not just shell it out.

I have one with MX Clears, got it as a Christmas gift, love it.
