"Rick" is generally actively supported by a non-technical manager who wants to keep the project from going to a more agile team ("it will take you 1000 man years to replace this and if you try we will make your attempts fail until we do it ourselves") and it locks in nice inflating budget.

Real nice NVidia. Now how about some support for Linux on Optimus/Hybrid GPU laptops?

Two possibilities:

1] She brought value to the table and was discriminated against.

2] She brought little value to the table, was one of those whiny entitled people (ooh look I have all these degrees, now I should automatically be promoted), who cannot accept the truth, and resorted to sleeping with a senior partner to compensate and when it all fell apart she got offended.

It could be either.

She has to convince the world it was [1] not [2].

Notice how the shills tend to have security related github accounts. (see the top voted comment. And a chinese blog that too.)

This thread about chicken: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14076320

Doesn't make any sense being on HN at all. The comments don't belong here either.

The only reason I can think of for it being on the front page is a shill army using it to generate karma between themselves... That, or HN jumped the shark so to speak.

New comment by moon_of_moon in "“Banks are no place for coders”"

There is Goldman. And banks that emulate their culture. And there is everyone else.

The bad banks tech orgs are clubs for VIPs and friends and relatives of the business and the tech just doesn't matter, as a result you have a poisonous culture and an army of frauds. Especially true of the failed investment banks that got acquired by consumer banks. If you find yourself in the latter, and you are not part of the club (ie refuse to perpetuate the fraud of screwing over the business to enrich some tech executives agenda) run in the opposite direction. Join a trading firm instead.

I will bet OP was at a "club" bank.

Serious question: how many years old are the signals estimated to be?

People here will downvote things that dont come across as interesting.

Also, you label things as "fake news", defend pizzagate, and your views, particularly this one, make you come across as a crony of the political establishment you came from. Why do you expect hacker news to love you?

Why do we need these rare metals? Why not just use a block of ice generated from a known quantity of water, for example?

How would this work?

"Dear Customer - your usage patterns shows that you are using your car for ride sharing revenue. Please stop it."

"Dear Customer - Second warning."

"Dear Customer - we have disabled important safety updates for your car, because it looks like you are ride sharing for profit. You might be a real estate agent with irregular driving patterns for legitimate reasons but we cannot confirm that. Sucks to be you."
