This happens literally all the time, and has for 35+ years I've been following politics

Political parties have very intentionally created the deep divides in the electorate. It's not something that just happened, it was something that was made to occur for the benefit of the politicians. So I'm still putting the blam

Obviously landlords and businesses will lose out because of the decision to go fully online. They might anyway, since there wouldn't be any requirement I'm aware of that the student visa holders would have to stay near a school th

My personal opinion is that HN community voting and active moderators are a solid, definite net negative for me. I would indeed be happier if neither of those elements were present. Voting pulls conversation strongly to the mediocre center

I see this comment in every one of these discussions, but finding new venues for social contact is a fairly simple adjustment to make once you accept that it's necessary.

We used PLATO in some class I was in at Ga Tech in the mid 80s, I think maybe chemistry. I remember thinking it was pretty neat, but that it was simplified and I wasn't learning that much from it.

Interesting. I'm in my 50s, and I've found the Ballmer Peak to be a real thing for me ever since college. It's consistently been 2-3 beers. More than that brings a very steep dropoff in productivity, but I wonder if those 2-

I joked with a friend today that with San Francisco being San Francisco, someone will have a system for making it play Carol Of The Bells by next week.

I bought the game off GOG a couple years back. Very rudimentary graphics, of course, but the missions were a lot of fun. Avoiding detection as you fly low and slow in the dark.

As I said, it involves learning some new skills and new habits, and the adjustment period likely involves some pain from employees. Three months of a situation assumed to be temporary is not a sufficient adjustment period.

Ok, but if you're hiring 100% remote people, the "local market" is everywhere. I get why management wants to do this, but I doubt it will stick with remote workers.

Working From Home is a change, and it's not at all surprising most people want to avoid change. It definitely involves learning new habits and skills as part of the adjustment, which does involve some effort and possibly pain on the pa

I mean, one of the top auction houses in the world assured them it had a spotless provenance. HL is still culpable here, but Christie's absolutely is guilty too.

Maybe he's talking more to himself and his peers here. By writing this down, he's committing himself publicly to a path, there's no reason to think he's not aware of that.

The code I wrote in my first job out of college is still running in thousands of locations 25 years later. But then, it was Windows software for a particular industry, not a website. Most stuff I've written since then has been replaced

I've had nothing but excellent service in every one of my interactions with the California DMV. If every company I interacted with lived up to their standard I'd be thrilled.

Not quite all aircraft are required to have ADS-B in all situations, there are a number of edge cases out there. But close enough, I suppose, and most planes people would want to track are required to have it. However, there's also a n
