Internet infra won't be even close to a concern in the big one. I mean sure you've got some 911 infra and first responder stuff tied into that, and they have some backup radios, towers, and generators. But it won't matter whe

Project Management should be called Project Leadership, and the tools of the former should inform – but not dictate – the decisions of the latter.

This move of google domains over to squarespace is the dumbest deal I have ever experienced and it makes me hate both companies even more.

Pish posh. They also sell that data at an increidble markup – and without the knowledge of their customers – to anyone who'll pay, including governments and their cutouts.

r/truelit seems even more rampantly political than the NYTBR though. Any tips on filtering that out or finding something similar? Thanks for your post btw, good response.

I'm curious if HN readers see articles like this and transpose the logic to other areas – like management or leadership. Open question, just curious.

Why are there always so many commenters on here who don't seem to understand the difference between "hacker news" and the "real world"? Outsourcing low-value/high friction tasks is the whole point of technology
