That's really not my experience. Since I always take notes when watching videos, I find being without my keyboard an absolute pain. I tried once to bring both my laptop and my tablet out on a short trip. I just used the tablet for an h

Even the Apple statement acknowledges that the majority of users are on the free plan and bring revenue through ads.

I don't even understand the "political influence" talk. Political influence so what, China's domestic planes get preferred? There are literally only two brands of commercial planes out there, Boeing and Airbus. People&#x

Nah if you seriously think so you need to work a bit more on your mental models and probably try to get rid of the simplistic propaganda that you've read. All modern industries are subject to heavy regulations and in many cases the wes

I guess that would just not be realistic. There was a comment from a while ago that I think makes total sense: The organization has to evaluate the value that you bring and create. If your position moves and directs dozens of people, it wil

The opening statement of the author is really overblown and sensationalist. Only at the end of the thread did he admit that all data there apparently come from net cafes, but 1. there is no evidence that messages from private devices are be

That sounds like a hot take. I'm pretty sure most EU residents are very satisfied that they don't have to fea for their safety for gun violence when they walk home late at night or just in general.

Or maybe he stole the funds dreaming to make more, but only to get crushed as the market crashed, and now went into the hiding, as an earlier poster suggested. It's also possible that he just absconded with all the money though.

The type system is far from the static type system we get in many other languages nowadays. Though I would say from a productivity/code maintenance perspective I haven't found it to be a problem yet. It's very hard to introdu

I wonder what you see that Elixir doesn't fix. Syntax-wise, Elixir definitely makes writing the code a much much more pleasant and enjoyable experience. And I would say the package ecosystem has been great and really promising so far.

I'm not sure if you can totally replace the lightweight BEAM processes with k8s equivalents. Sure if throwing more resources to scale more horizontally is not a top concern for you, then it probably doesn't matter much. But BEAM d

I don't get your point. Surely an excellent worker is also somebody who is eager to learn and keeps up with the newest developments keenly? Why would they be two contradictory traits? Perhaps you confused "stubbornness" with

Why would you immediately "make an impact" as soon as you switch jobs though? If you're not taking that new position, somebody else will be and I'm not sure you're that unique enough to do something totally differen

I think it depends on person. Also Cal Newport, though advocating the concept of "stopping the work day at 5 p.m.", also strongly advocates that one should not mindlessly spend the time "after work", but should engage in

I don't think he ever meant it that way. It's not that he "cannot take a leisurely walk without distraction", but that he wants to get some walking while working, i.e. the priority is reversed. He claims to walk for &quo

This is an interesting perspective. I guess having the company set up in a remote-first manner vs. just having a few employees working remote are indeed very different scenarios then, and if one is ever to work remotely, they should only ai

This makes a lot of sense. Retiring early doesn't necessarily make people happy. In fact many could feel lost and unhappy since they're not contributing anything meaningful to the community anymore. A lot of advice mentioned worki

I don't think feeling the job "isn't real" is the actual underlying reason you hate your job. Most likely you're a bit burnt out or having a mid-life symptom. By your definition is baking real, since it uses all sor

Don't think that makes much sense. Some jobs requiring long hours do of course pay more partly due to that, e.g. lawyers and investment bankers. But if you ask construction workers whether they'd like to stop their job and have a

A temporary escape from what you might have been a little burnt out from could be nice. Wanting to turn that into a new permanent new profession would be quite ridiculous.

So why would criticisms against Israel always require careful and complicated disclaimers (which might still not be enough to save you from being immediately labeled as "anti-Semite", while many other totally uninformed nonsense f

There are apparently people who are able to maintain a frugal, minimalist and prudent lifestyle even when they're very rich, seeing from various stories and anecdotes. But yeah the moral of a lot of stories we hear is always to remind

I wonder if people actually do this and then go on to "pursue their passions in life". I wonder how you'd feel if you actually went through what you described here. What makes one's passion and one's work two strict

I wonder if the problem is simply exaggerated. Is this really only the case with white-collar Americans? I'd imagine that throughout the human history the vast majority of human beings have always been working like this, or even much w

It's a local industry. They have a whole foodchain based on this and everybody stands to profit. I think in an earlier HN thread somebody also mentioned that in the early 20th century there were also towns that simply rob and kill any

Exactly. I feel like I've had enough bad companies/relationships to be really content just to be on myself. And I feel so, so much better off with it. I have total tranquility of mins and can concentrate on what I'm passionat

Yeah this makes sense. This one particular example seems fishy but when so many people have voiced their support it's clear something is really broken with Google's procedures. This kind of thing is always hard to deal with though

The startup workers as well, I guess. They take tremendous risks. Though it would be a stretch to say they don't care nor help the users. Of course they need to keep the users hooked/get new users onboard to "grow" and g

Uber is not a very good example because you can easily switch to another taxi app if there are better benefits/the costs are lower etc. Even the VP of Engineering of Uber acknowledged it in a talk a few years ago. Something that accumu
