I know that it's really appealing to compare countries, but it seems to me that it's simply really difficult to do that in a constructive way, without accounting for all the differences between them. I would imagine (though I co

As a non-American who knows little about the IPO process, is there a reason why there have been a flood of S-1 reports listed on HN over the past 24 hours?

I can't help but see some of these predictions as being decidedly bleak. Perhaps I'm wrong - and I'm not saying I envisage things going back entirely to how they are at present - but this seems to depict a world in which pers

Agreed - Misbehaving is a really interesting history of the development of the field, and the characters introduced along the way. I was also doing Thaler a dis-service, I find his writing to be far more page-turny than Kahneman or Sunstein

This is fair criticism from what I've seen too, though for passers by I'd just say that it shouldn't necessarily entirely discredit the field. What particularly interests me, is the "nudge" applications which have b

I read Ariely's "Predictably Irrational" years and years ago, and was fascinated by it. I'd been an economics graduate, and was surprised that we were only introduced to "Behavioural Economics" as a field in th

I lost a little over 50lbs a number of years ago, following a 5:2 diet. Quite frankly, I found it pretty horrible. Selecting 2 days in which you won't eat (much) is pretty tough, and the obvious candidates would be your working days, b

On this topic though I think we have to be huge grateful to HN, its community, and its moderators, who keep it - in my opinion - one of the least ridden with unsubstantiated nonsense sources on the net.

I'm sorry, but the proof made on this site in support of the efficacy of wearing a face mask appears to be simply looking at a small sample of countries and finding a correlation between two variables. Completely putting the should

I'm not sure that viewing this as some kind of dry run for a future in which we all work from home is particularly fair, on multiple fronts. Firstly, this isn't a choice anyone has made, it's something which has been forc

This might well be a very naive question, but, provided the peak rate of infection differs between nations, could a part of this be solved by borrowing from abroad?

Yeh, so the current system seems better, because, although it's versioned, it doesn't need to constantly communicate with some central server. Also, another drawback is fonts need to be updated, but again, I think the benefits out

I'm confused. How would this solve the problem? Whilst looking different is clearly an issue (e.g. the gun being depicted a water gun), I'm not sure what your solution would look like? Images hosted somewhere? You'd get consi

Hah, this also reminds me of a company where we went back on a decision that had been made before I joined, and moved our basket (containing highly normalization, non-transient data) out of MongoDB and back into a SQL one. No one had an

I'd also be interested to hear why it was the right choice still? But, you hit on a good point with all of the bootstrapping which needs to be repeated. And then with each subsequent change you make to your pipelines (e.g. testing fr

If you're in a country which bans Google, I'd suspect a high chance having nsa.gov wouldn't be too favourable on your DNS lookup records!

As a full-stack engineer, I'm a huge proponent of TDD in certain situations . Specifically, when given a very well defined problem-set (e.g. "create a report, which, given X, returns Y"), but less when given a far broader ta

Not knowing really anything about Mercurial, the `skip-blame` feature seems interesting, but seems Git doesn't have something similar (has to be constrained when calling `blame`)
