That's amazing! And is all the imagery in public domain?

Edit: I see 'bing', so maybe not. Also, if anyone related to the project is looking, the elevation model is extremely noisy and likely broken, so wrapping the imagery around DEM might need to uhh be looked at.

unfortunate because even if one couldn't get into a high paying job, one could try getting into an interesting one. Since they're the same, it's both or nothing. Thus it's fortunate for those that get those, but unfortunate for the rest. : )

It was supposed to be sarcastic. Didn't get the tone right.

>>At my old place in Somerville, MA (not exactly a cheap place to live), $100 would be four large hampers full of laundry and my shirts would be pressed.

Was the before, or after the 10% Tufts discount though? If you're below 35, you gotta pretend you forgot your ID, and take that sweet sweet discount. Same for the Sushi place that's right next to the Tufts-discount laundry place.

In other (totally irrelevant) news from current-Somerviller to (past?) Somerviller: area around Davis has gotten almost on par with Harvard Square prices (in terms of rent). Things are crazy around here!

" ...First they came for the Cucumbers, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Cucumber ... "

-Song of those Tensorflow'd out of their jobs.

[Edit: Changed Cucumber sorters to cucumbers to clarify the sarcasm]

This. x1000. I wish there were more places I could put my four goddamn years of CS knowledge to use. I joke with business people in our team how they could steal my job after maybe 2 weeks of programming bootcamp.

TBH, any 9th grader with reasonable determination can do what I do on everyday basis, while the advanced/cool stuff that I really enjoyed/struggled with in college slowly fades from my brain.

I wish there were a way to somehow reconcile these. I want to make money, yes, but I want to do cool stuff too. I'd be willing to take a not insignificant paycut to work on cool stuff. Unfortunately, it appears that places with more 'interesting' stuff to work on are also those that end up paying more. Just like how colleges that are more expensive to get into are also those that will [more likely] have more money to throw your way.

What gives, people of HN?

For the second part, I'd add: people from your country.

If there's a gathering of less than 20 people from my country, I love everyone. 20-50 and I start hyperventilating. More than 50, and I make and execute elaborate plans to get out at any costs.

You seem wise...I'll ask for advice!

How do I, as a 27 year-old Grad student invite women for coffee without them feeling it might be a 'trick-date', or having them not get comfortable?

Really, I want it to be a date _less_ than you do, but how do I convince you that?

Ahh breitbart. The only honest, independent, impartial, and non-sellout media remaining. Everyone else is MSM-shill. /s

Interesting... Can this 'hack' be used to convince people that, say, they're in a different/secure website when they're in a malicious website? I ask because since the 'fake' cursor is visible even on the address bar, the page must be able to overwrite the pixels there?

Finally! In HN I have finally truly found the loving, caring crowd that really cares about ethics in game journalism above everything else! Keep up the good work folks!

There's this AMAZING scifi story, which I read in 'Writers of The Future' (great series, named after the eminent L Ron. H.). It imagines a future where after a certain age, everyone has a chip planted in them, which makes it possible to kill oneself 'on demand', painlessly, so to speak. It 'naturally selects' away all those who are uhh, more instably minded, and selects for the very very 'stable' minded. I believe the story was about how boring, unimaginative the society had gotten because natural selection had optimized for stability. Great read! You should read it if you haven't. The writer's of the future series is a collection of amazing stories also, and what finally tipped me into the Sciences, despite the somewhat uhh interesting Scientology connection. Anyone remember the name of the story?

This was inspired by @antiquark's comment: >>Probably has something to do with the theory of natural selection.
