Maybe if you explained your metaphor a bit more it would make sense to me - as it stands I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.

Have you ever worked for a company like this? I have worked for a startup which was acquired by a FAANG company and later transferred internally to a "normal" team within the FAANG company. That's three different scenarios: 1

No, more like leave it to HN to have comments providing a completely different perspective and framing of the problem than what you’d expect. Some variant of the above article has been posted dozens of times across multiple message boards a

My favorite part of reading LRB articles I come across on here is guessing what the article will be about from the title. I never guess correctly but I’m always hooked by the time I’ve read far enough to understand the title.

I think it's important to weigh whether the person you're arguing with is making their argument in good faith. Is Trump making a nuanced argument that weighs the pros and cons of mail-in voting? No, he's clearly not. If you w

You’re ignoring the possibility that the lockdown bought us time to prepare a more effective strategy we can implement as we open society again. Also, there are still a lot of unknowns about this virus. * It has been reported to cause long

I don't really think you fully appreciate what how your "real plan" or your accompanying nitpicks would be received by the average citizen. The biggest pitfall, as has already been pointed out by another reply, is that it cre

I posted this because I found it to be disturbing from a privacy point of view. Apparently the data comes from "X-mode Social", googling that leads to this website which is currently 504ing: https://xmode.io/ , whi

The certificate is issued by GoDaddy - it's almost certainly a scam.

I guess my question was more rhetorical, a way to complain about having the movie spoiled for me. I had already concluded that the movie was spoiled.

I haven't seen the movie but was planning to - is this a spoiler? Does this mean when I watch the movie and see that a character has an iPhone, I know that they're not the real killer?

I like Bail On Friends better, in part because it partially increases the guilt factor back to where it should be. "I'm gonna have to bail" vs "I'm gonna have to bail _on you_" feels different to me

Is this the laziest possible argument? It's close. Anyone with 3 seconds to spend on Google can find a nice pet problem that dwarves yours. Painting issues as "white people problems" is a nice way to bring race into something

Some people believe that we'd be more efficient if we work 30 hours a week instead of 40+.

Well, okay. Again, I'm not taking a position on this one, just saying that you two were arguing different points.

Not that I agree or disagree, but he didn't say that, he said we're better off without Gawker, or rather, the type of articles that it published. There's a difference.

In my experience it varied from professor to professor. Many professors would notice when you don't attend lecture, which I found to be impressive given the size of some of the classes. I found that some professors were more likely to

I had the same knee jerk reaction as you. But I think the question is not “should we tiptoe around subjects”. The question is about framing and notability. Pretend you have to make your own headline about the life of this guy. How do you fr

This doesn't jibe with my personal experience at all. Do you have any evidence for this phenomenon existing? I've heard of willpower being an expendable resource, but not conscience. I don't feel like it places a burden on my

I think you're projecting your own personal biases and grievances into this scenario. I don't think it's a given that this was burnout related at all. You have no proof that it was, and yet you persist in treating it like a f
