Thank you for this fascinating comment. Out of curiosity, do you have any insight as to the Portland, OR area? We always seem to get glossed over in discussions about the PNW and the West Coast in general.

No, but you should feel sorry for all the people who refused to entrust 23andMe but whose relatives didn't get the memo. They'll be hurt by this too.

You can buy cheap non-networked baby monitors just about anywhere, and they work great. Mine has a range that works across the entire house, battery lasts all day, and only 'wakes' when junior is crying/moving. IOT was a mass

Walled gardens don't just keep enemies out, they keep customers in – and make excellent targets of opportunity for adjacent/supporting industries like lawyers, insurance, PE, and consolidation.

A couple criticisms of this, having been in more than a few rough parts of the world including refugee camps: 1. Cardboard will almost certainly soak up the liquids and smells of a place like a refugee camp, which are typically not in nice

So you think my personal experiences... are patently absurd...? Huh!

You think it's patently absurd that members of the same community might have the same shared traits?

Yep. Now multiply that across a broad swath of society and you're really undermining not only your military's talent pool, but possibly impacting your economy negatively, especially if your country's military does things, lik

I don't think there's many jobs out there where you're not benefiting the rich in some way. The important thing is that you as an individual can find meaning and thrive.

I doubt that sort of data exists anywhere, but I personally run a veterans service organization with ~800 families and I've yet to meet a vetspouse who wasn't squared away! The veteran community is a cross-section of America so th

I would argue that that is exactly what is happening. Good, experienced warfighters get to a point in their career where they realize they can make 2-3x what they do now in an environment with less toxic leadership. The ones that stay in b

There's a TON of great jobs out there in defense tech! You could get paid well to build interesting projects (that occasionally are used, if you're lucky, to whack bad guys) and none of those jobs/founders GAF about credentia

Army vet here! This is GREAT for a couple of reasons: 1. Moving around made building a career an impossibility for my brilliant wife, because military bases are typically situated a ways away from major economic zones. 2. This will improve

Is your plan to work for yourself/by yourself in the future? If so, this is overkill. If you are planning on working for/with others, then all you're doing is becoming accustomed to the tools you'll need. So it's no

If you want to see how this works in realtime on a more digestible scale, watch how Hollywood works. One day it’ll be “We need our own John Wick” and then it’ll be “we need a Top Gun!” Humans are fickle and will do whatever to chase a buck.

HN weighing in on military stuff is always comedy to those of us who've been in the military. It's nobody's fault – this stuff can be baroque in its complexity – but it does make for some entertaining reading!

Shareholder value is probably the last measurement I'd use when it comes to assessing the value of a company.

I worked there for two years. No they are not the most successful media business out there, and plenty of other entities were experimenting with and succeeding with paywalls long before the Times. The only reason they've benefitted in

The Nytimes and its employees are deeply concerned with the prestige of the paper. In fact, much of its terrible strategy when it came to digitization, major political moments, and its own journalistic integrity (The Jayson Blair affair com

They shouldn't. But the Times is also notorious for changing things after-the-fact to better fit an editorial bias or to groom their own reputation. If they are indeed 'the newspaper of record' then unfortunately they need to

I have watched with sadness as the NYTimes has self-destructed over the past couple decades. I think it comes down to two main reasons. 1. Tech lag/resistance. They resisted digital transformation for too long and didn't understan
