As an Eastern European, also on the spectrum, this nature of passive aggressive communication proliferating especially in the Bay Area really grates me. I prefer to resolve conflicts directly; it's more efficient.

Porsche is just VW. Why can't VW spearhead this for a much greater impact?

It's true, under our current legal framework, the free market is supposed to allow customers to choose to buy more user-friendly alternatives sold by competitors if they aren't happy that one offering is DRMed to hell and back. In

Right, how is this top of HN? Something is off, as there is nothing newsworthy about this. If I submitted to HN a random documentation page from LWN or Linux kernel, it would surely not be #1.

I was the one who ported DOOM to DS back in high school; we were all in the same DS homebrew IRC channel together. A lot of my now-closest friends worked on the other projects (including the author of DS Linux) -- incidentally we all ended

I read your book in high school. Thanks for getting me interested in my future career.

Remember, the pedestrian was originally struck by a human driver. No matter how much statistically safer Cruise is than human drivers, there will always be an unfair press scrutiny on individual incidents amid Luddite backlash. We already s

You can just generate white noise locally, why bother with a recording?

If you're not sure about it, best to stay away. With a cursory web search or YouTube search, you can find plenty of information.

What is going on with the DNS name resolution here? Can somebody please share the resolved IP address?

Why? How is this such a Tragedy of the Commons situation warranting risking others experiencing homelessness? Climate change will still happen, except now housing prices will soar through the roof just like in San Francisco.

I remember walking on the sidewalk in one of the busiest city sections of downtown Gangnam when I was stopped by a guard. On the street, other guards were stopping traffic. Mind you, this street is as busy as any in Manhattan. Then a secret

Imagine how scary a builder with domain expertise (the category YC funds) might be. Another word for that type of person is "disrupter"

I do agree with you. I wouldn't recommend engineers without product vision to start a company either. Starting a successful company is hard. It's not just about coding things. That said, you can find technical founders who are goo

As an engineer and ex startup founder, I recommend only partnering with someone technical and being very careful when doing so. Have a very high bar for who you choose to work with. YC largely only invests in companies with technical founde

The bar for US public school education is abysmally low to begin with. One would have expected Silicon Valley to be better than that, not one of the worst in the country. Source: Someone from the Midwest who went to a public school

Bachelors degrees from selective private schools now cost $50k/year. Rather than spending an extra year getting a state school masters, you can also gain a year of ML work experience for a net positive six figures first year out of sch

As strange as it is, I think there's validity to it. Master's degrees filter more on having the money to cover tuition than test scores, and it's easier to just buy your way into a good school than with undergraduate. I remem
