Most CEOs would have figured out after eight years to deflect and absorb downward pressure from investors while incorporating feedback from Reddit's key resource: users, who provide content for free. It's a damn shame that Huffman

Yes this is true, my only issue with that is the tolerances in the tripod head since cheaper tripods are generally meant for simple prosumer/SLRs whereas professional photographers who use heavier/longer lenses need the same amoun

I recommend charging a separate battery pack with the solar then plugging THAT into the laptop. The reason being laptops don't like direct sun and are nearly impossible to use.

I like to hike into the middle of the wilderness and work, which means I want as little weight as possible. Initially I was thinking I'd buy one of these: https://www.intension-design.com/tripodtable But it is both hea

I'm guessing it's because UX as a field has gone from focusing on usability and aesthetics to darkpatterns in the service of commercialization.

I have certainly experienced and given 'personalized' treatment, but it was never about going deep on personnel records – and always about the character, performance, and expectations at hand.

Historically, the "reasonable person" standard has been sufficient for a handful of things like obscenity, IP, and other nuanced things. I wonder how much that will change in the age of AI!

What we're seeing here is exactly the sort of executive immaturity/arrogance that gets SO MANY startups in trouble. Young men/aspiring founders: for the love of god understand that your investors are NOT the whole picture whe

Whats really telling, though, is that he's managed to hold on to his position despite everything.

I totally think that’s fair… And again we don’t know what happened in this particular situation. I just think that there is this foolish and ultimately costly view of employees that they are interchangeable parts, when in fact there are mor

It's wrong because it treats people like transactions instead of living creatures. Obviously we don't know the full story, but people make mistakes, underperform, or somehow lose their touch. If it's a pattern and the person

Most folks on HN are going to go straight to the physiological benefits, and zip past the psychological ones. I'm a former Green Beret and combat diver. You know what cold plunges are good for? Practicing will power, and bravery. It su

This is slightly off-topic, but I'd love to know what AI companies – or emerging tech companies in general – have founders that say what they mean, and aren't talking out of both sides of their mouth.

I meant downward pressure from investors as not a bad thing.

It’s not the only path it’s just the easiest in the short term. One concept that tech companies seem to have completely forgotten is brand equity. They will squander long-term reputation for short term gains due to, as you said, downward pr

Musk is as much a dirtbag industrialist as the rest – Jobs, Gates, Sergey/Brin, Bezos, Waltons, Sacklers, Rockefeller, JP Morgan. We admire them for their successes, which they use to camouflage their misdeeds. Worth studying but never
