I interviewed there, and there and had a dude with under a year of experience out of college interview me. and of course, give a horrible interview. I'm pretty sure that's the reason I didn't get the offer (of course who knows, maybe other reasons). they have this idea that an engineer is an engineer, which I think is good. to an extent, but in the end it's a bullshit philosophy.

We're a hell of a lot of closer now, than we were. There are people playing for literally millions now. A far cry from the days of fatal1ty.

A guy who posted on /. renewed one of the MS domains. Or atleast, that's what I recall.

it has been this way for over a decade.

reddit is over there ===>

we have not had anything close to a free market solution on health care in my lifetime.

As a single male living around seattle. Seattle obviously.

- San Fran/cali drivers are are assholes
- In seattle, you can live in downtown and walk everywhere, or still have a decent commute in the suburbs. outside of downtown, Seattle has plenty of parking. In Downtown Seattle, it's sitll better than San Fran.
- Housing prices. Seattle's not cheap, but it's that high compared to other larger metropolitan areas.
- San Fran gets better points on weather.

Basically, Seattle > San Fran.
QED.

I don't think Tolwyn said that. That was the captured pilot.

There is quite a difference between something being counter intuitive and being bullshit.

And maybe one day you'll learn having a good bullshit detector will get you through so much of life.

Is this where I'm supposed to laugh?

Will bitcoin last? I have zero clue. But the amount of absolutes I see used by people describing bitcoin and how it works, makes my bullshit detector go off.

While I understand your point, the whole "why remember something I can look up in a book" thing.

Being able to remember stuff is incredibly useful. From simply remembering a schedule (which can be complicated) to remembering how you solved another problem.

do sites even get /.ed anymore?

despite what so much of /. and the internet seems to think, there's a difference between a theory that we evolved from monkeys and whether organisms evolve. He has quite clearly stated his stance.

Because they can.

Off topic, what happened to my slashdot, where this post would get modded down.. :(

The HP way died a long time ago. Pre Fiorina at the very least.
