joined

Sadly it seems the UK and US have now joined the ranks of countries who employ this sort of harassment routinely at the border.

I don't need to have philosophical agreement with my neighbor for us to be joined in outrage when the guy across the street gets mugged while we're watching. These guys have a legitimate beef.

One lesson is, from what my wife told me as I joined FedEx, "Get it in writing". Well, my offer letter said I'd be in the stock plan, but apparently that was meaningless legally.

I joined as their 3rd employee - as a junior developer to assist the current senior. When they saw how good I was, they sacked the senior.

It shows what the frontpage would look like if we only counted votes of users who joined HN in the first year. Usually it looks the same as the frontpage, but with a time lag because there are fewer voters.

Blake, when he joined, said that "we say 'no' to nothing, and 'no' to everything". What he meant was: in a meeting, the manager will say 'yes' to everything; but the moment he steps outside, he'll think "I'm not gonna do that!"

Then again, this is pretty much the way I felt when I joined Commerce Bank in 2002. They were leaps and bounds above any other bank in everything from their down-home attitude to their evening and weekend hours.

Then we joined them in two wars. We bought their cell phones, their operating systems and productivity suites, their internet adds, hosting and email services and movies and music.

Then he pointed to Facebook and said that it would eventually be bigger than all of the companies he had just mentioned, and that if I joined the company, I could be a part of it all." This sounds vaguely familiar.

Starting with even before we joined Y Combinator in the summer of 2008, you were always a very important advisor to us. I remember when we were first trying to raise money, no investor would talk to us.

Many concepts that were new to me when I joined HN are now familiar, and many discussions have already been had. RiderofGiraffes describes it well in the linked comment.

Our first employee who joined in 2009 is a great programmer and he is still with the company, but he's still doing what he loves: building & shipping stuff. Based on our frank conversations on the topic, I think he would quit if I forced him to be a manager.

Is it not ok to discriminate against someone who has joined a terrorist group and is actively helping them? Is an army medic not rightly discriminated against by the other side if the medic's side loses the war?

After sniffing the IP address + port of the IRC server and the channel name and password the botnet was using, I joined the channel with a regular IRC client. "/who #channel" listed thousands of compromised clients, including hundreds with .

Remember, I was recruited to "do Scheme", which felt like bait and switch in light of the Java deal brewing by the time I joined Netscape. My interest in languages such as Self informed a subversive agenda re: the dumbed down mission to make "Java's kid brother", to have objects without classes.

I was accused of spending too much time in the social scene at FB, while I joined a total of ~5 groups within FB and only posted a total of ~10 times between all groups. The fact is that there is a ruthless political system within facebook that ruthlessly seeks out people who are too active and cuts them as early as possible.

I found one at Sun which was effectively a 'technical marketing engineer' although at the time I joined the marketing folks just needed an engineer to translate what the competition was doing into something they could argue about. I too was amazed at how much more complex it was than my simplistic assumptions had been.

But after seeing a page where everything is flat, I've totally joined the non-flat side of the debate, due to the confusion/ambiguity of the interface... the buttons were especially jarring for me.

Coworker was building a new house, and when it came to the numbers it was let loose that it was going to cost about $700K. This didn't seem like much, except to a young guy that joined the previous year and had done nothing but kick ass and take names. The new guy was arguably the most talented guy in the company by a considerable margin, so he thought someone building a $700K home might've been overextending themselves.

My software engineering career started with the YUI team - I actually joined as an intern at Yahoo because of a Reddit post on /r/javascript. I was pretty new to engineering in general back then, and as a biology major with no real professional experience, I didn't have an easy time getting internships.

I joined TechCrunch to work on CrunchBase back in October soon after the AOL acquisition and became the only non-editorial/sales person in here. My energies were split across a multitude of things and I found little time to devote to CB. Over the past month however, we have hired two more devs, one to work on the blog network side of things and another who will be working on CrunchBase full-time along with me.

I would image the tubes will be joined with automated friction stir welding or something similiar, but that will still require a fair amount of post weld machining which has its own pitfalls. Not to mention simple thermal expansion and contraction as the temperature changes could change the circularity and inner diameter.
