I get the feeling that you might not understand why you're being downvoted. There's nothing wrong with expressing your opinion. But on Hacker News especially, it is important to contribute to and elevate the discussion. After y

For cutlery and dishes, one probably wants extras anyway to buffer for those days when they couldn't yet wash the previous day's dishes because they were too busy. We've all experienced it. Probably don't need guests to

You'd be surprised for how many technology-inept users that wouldn't make a difference. They'll still mark the email as spam. It's easier for many people to understand and easier to click.

I wonder if this is a more difficult problem because the "good" ones are taken off the market, potentially forever. Follow the logic, does this leave emotionally irrational people to have a larger share of the reviews than normal?

I find this sentiment interesting. I find BBT hilarious and identify with the characters. I often drag my wife to watch a specific BBT episode to get her to understand the way I think or understand the way I was in the past before I met her

Perhaps it can be viewed in the same vein as Michael Jordan's "for the love of the game" contract clause. The clause stipulated that MJ would be able to run off whenever he wanted to join a pickup game, let him remember why

As Larry Ellison and other godfathers of the start of the IT industry once said (paraphrasing), "It's impossible to find someone who has the necessary skills and 10 years in the industry. Just hire the smartest people we can find

Funny trivia. Recently, our firewall was blocking a ton of smaller websites. Wasn't sure why. Finally got on the phone with Sophos (our firewall manufacturer) to figure out what was going on. Support guy led me through some trouble

That's gotta finally happen SOME day, no?? I speak seriously.... Of course, by the time it happens, I wouldn't be surprised if we come up with a solution that people like better than IPv6?

Mandarin is the local rule of law language. All contracts I've ever signed that were dual language say that if any conflicts arise, the Chinese language contract will be the one used to settle the dispute. This is reasonable. You would

With all the comments here about how this is really a silly non-story (a sentiment with which I agree), why and how is it getting upvoted so much such that it makes the front page?

Feel for you. Can't imagine what to do in that situation. Can totally imagine how social media enabled a lot of that. I'm in a similar situation where my wife joined me in China because my job is over here. She's making a

If you IPO, you have no choice but to achieve and increase Internet scale. Your share price will suffer if you don't because when you IPO, your investors matter more than your other stakeholders. If you don't want to be a slave to

I see that it's still really easy for people to make judgment on what happens to others without knowing all the details. It really annoys me when random stranger know-it-alls proclaim all the answers that are already obvious and tried

It takes time for a leader to get to know a new organization when the join it. They are not privy to that level of insider information before getting inside. Whether a CEO is ready for a position is a question of skills, not a question of

Ironically, the problem of spam has created another weird problem. I'm not sure what's the right kind of thing to describe them, so I'll call them the ambulance chasers of the email world. But that doesn't sound right.

I think the Occupy Movement is a poor comparison because that was a protest, not a strike. And I don't recall protesters in the Occupy Movement being belittled. I agree that labourers may often get unfairly blamed when things go wrong

Yes. There are various sensitive times when foreign Internet services become particularly unusable. No explanation is provided for these times, and everyone basically knows what's going on. Most recent example: https://t

Who says there are explanations? It's basically an accepted and unavoidable fact of life that you can't access certain foreign Internet services at times. It is what it is.

Quality of data is probably one of the saddest reasons why systems can be unreliable and bad decisions can be easily made in many organizations that aren't technically oriented. It's the biggest reason why I think data analysis l

What I mean by without prompting is that in all the cases I've seen, nobody's being toxic towards him. He does look prompted by the apparent stupidity that exists all around him though. I'll admit that sometimes I get annoy

Someone I know contacted their Amazon contacts about this. This is exactly what's happening. It's exactly like how 24vianet operates Office 365 on behalf of Microsoft inside China.
