Question to all those saying this is because of Sabre:

How? Does the TrueBlue password somehow go through Sabre's systems? The truly old business unit of Sabre that everyone is referencing is Travel Network. I'm not sure why an airline's loyalty program would intersect with Travel Network other than through the back end of a booking tool.

We work for the same company. I've always wondered how many of us there are on HN.

How do you track things you're interested in Excel? For instance, if you're into python, would you make a python worksheet and fill it with goals and things to read?

Doesn't have the DFW either. I really feel like the country wouldn't even know San Antonio existed if it wasn't for the Spurs and the Alamo. It doesn't seem like a place people find desirable to move to it seems.

I love reading things like this and it inspires me to travel and be different. However, as much as this appeals to me and I want to quit and travel, doing something like this is definitely a career wrecker. That and student loans are my biggest hindrance.

I suppose Google will be hiring a lot of meteorologists! This would be a very fun project to work on.

What part of finance do you think will go first ? Finance is highly subjective, and while I don't think it isn't at risk of being taken over by AI, I think it will be quite a while before a machine can make the proper subjective decisions a finance professional makes.

> If Nook had just cleaned up its dictionary, bumped up the resolution on the screen, improved its frontlight (as it was the frontlight "glaze" or whatever washed out the display significantly), and kept polishing the software, they might have stood a better chance. The epub capability is a huge win.

How does that saying go? If squares were round they'd be circles, or something like that.

I cannot imagine how shocked he must have been to have such immense amounts of knowledge at his fingertips. Coming out of prison and seeing new incredible technologies would be amazing. When I was a teenager I worked at a grocery store and I was washing my hands in the bathroom. The faucets were motion activated. A man walked up to them and looked at them and then looked at me and said, "How do you turn these on?" I told him that you just put your hands underneath and they turn on automatically. He said, "Wow, I've been in prison for a while."

I used to backtest trading indicators a lot and the majority of time the indicator would work on a stock like Apple but wouldn't work on a stock like Tyson Foods. Or any other stock. I was just fitting the curve.

Any MBA program worth it's salt doesn't let people in unless they have work experience.
