The Truth About Cars. Product Management, strategy, and product-market-fit are not isolated to software, and we're frankly not very good at them compared to 100 year old companies. Watching Tesla show the faults in the SV way of doing

I live near the Met, and go frequently. Other articles, but not this one, mention another huge reason: the fact that the Met is effectively free has lead to crazy overcrowding. Tour buses line up on 5th Ave, people are pushy, lines are hour

The American left is heavily reliant on contributions from the new 0.1% that is SV tech money. There's been a pretty noticeable drop in redistributive rhetoric in the last 10 years. I blame Larry Ellison for inequality wayyyyyyy more t

No, it is true, If you don't the EU Army will come and get you. /s It's a basic idea, and HN prides itself on being smart, but there aren't global laws. No one gets to enforce civil penalties outside of their jurisdictio

That won't work - there are really, really good reasons why clusters of industries emerge, and why they almost always emerge in dense areas. A better move might be to pay people to leave dying counties. I've heard it discussed for

I don't think anyone wants to solve the hard problems of mass transit, I think people are looking for cheap workarounds. Everyone wants to start the next Uber, and this is a major unsolved problem. However, the history of failed privat

Maybe we could make a plugin? I don't care at all about discussions (and usually can't stand the comments on) bitcoin, the Bay Area housing disaster, C, etc. It can't be that hard, the CSS selectors for posts are really simpl

Austin is a huge tech town, and rapidly growing. I get a lot of recruiter emails to go there. Same with KC, but to a lessor extent. I was just in Montreal - the difference in prices with the US was staggering. You forget how wealthy we are,

What are you reading that you can't read in the dev tools? You can see, edit, resend, and copy requests as CURL commands in both Firefox and Chrome. You can also see timing, some encryption stuff, and it's all in plaintext because

I work on Amelia at IPSoft, things seem to be going well. Customer Service is a huge, overlooked industry mostly based around classifying requests and then performing a rote action, which is a great use case for AI.

I hope this doesn't go anywhere, to be honest. People need more human connection, not less, and the rituals of preparing food, eating together, cleaning etc are one of THE fundamental things that makes us human. Replacing fast food wit

Still have no idea how to use Eclipse after 10 years. Vim, Emacs, VS Studio, VS Code, a few proprietary ones - very easy to figure out. Eclipse seems to be a magical combination of hard to use, slow, and hated. Was there a golden period? Wa
