Al Gore didn't win the Oscar, he gave the acceptance speech on behalf of the director of the documentary, he won a grammy though.

rob-alarcon | 10 years ago | on: Google Will Launch Google Photos, a Photo Host With “Unlimited Storage”
Yeah, nothing is free, they will know everything about us.
It's going to be the social data source of google, like facebook comments, messages, events, friends, etc (which are also unlimited).
We are the data source for the ultimate ad targeting machine.

haha, yeah, it's really funny:
"Do not open more than 70 copies of Visual Studio and do not, in any case, choke the artery! What's wrong with you? Choking the artery! Have nothing better to do?"

I'm planning to upgrade my old Paperwhite just for the hardware update, Processor and battery basically, I feel my current kindle kinda slow, and the battery dies pretty soon if you're with airplane mode off.
rob-alarcon | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: I'm a chronic procrastinator – how do I break it?
I believe that you have a key point here, STAY HUNGRY, stay hungry forever. You got 130k a/y know? Set a goal for yourself aim to have a million in a year (I do not know how, but try it). As someone else said before in the comments is not for the money.

"Bob Coe once told me he did not have to interview the candidates for his Administrative Assistant position. I should simply ask each candidate to link her hands behind her head with her elbows pointing forward and walk toward the wall. If her elbows were the first part of her anatomy to touch the wall, she was eliminated from candidacy. All applicants whose breasts touched first, he would interview."

I was just testing the site like at 10:00AM and I just realize that I have been listening and coding with the "Up Tempo" station for about 40 min.
This is nice.

Watch this video, it's about the history of the founders of Airbnb, sometimes I feel like you do right now, and found "inspiration" in histories like that.

I also run a half-marathon or marathon each month, that helps a lot.
Keep on.

Ubuntu was great, I'm moving to mac too and linux mint in the pc.

1- Unusually bad English (Not talking about normal immigrant English like mine, but like really bad, no way someone hired this person to recruit for these kind of positions). 2- These `recruiters` talk in very low volume, I had to tell them to speak louder, my guess is that they are in an office with a lot of people doing the same. 3- They ask you about weird stuff in their e-mail communication, like sign something in early phases of interviewing. 4- When tell you when they will call you and the number is flagged as 'SCAM LIKELY' then they tell you to save the number, super red flag
After that I googled the companies / job postings and were super generic with bad reviews in glassdoor.
