Better to at least try something out and find it not worth pursuing to the all-star level than not at all. That's another funny thing about us Americans, success is an all-or-nothing endeavor: if you pursue a passion and it doesn'

Why those instead of VTI and VXUS? Broader exposure (more diversification) in those funds

This isn't just on Pixels, I have a 6P that will turn off early as well, and I'd hazard a guess it has more to do with the latest Android versions than the specific hardware.

There is no point in using Disconnect if you have uBlock Origin. uBlock Origin has a set of filters in it's preferences that includes all of the filters from Disconnect. And you also do not need Privacy Badger if you have uBlock Origin

Whether or not the data collected in this article is questionable, there's a pretty easy way to evaluate the price of your home: re-finance / hire an appraiser. If you believe your home to be worth more, wouldn't it be worth

I mean this isn't a pro on nuts so much as it's a pro on eating anti-inflammatory foods, particularly the omega-3s, which are found in foods like walnuts...but also in foods like salmon, sardines, wild rice, edamame and free range

The research paper linked in the article essentially recommends only a few apps that scored high enough to properly engage you into learning meditation, and none of them appear to be games, but use gamification techniques: * Headspace * Smi

Why wouldn't it? If you really want to be pessimistic about empathy, you can rationalize it as information-gathering. Being empathetic and understanding as to why your opponent feels the way they do only helps you frame a better argume

Wow man, exact same situation for me (though it was my dad instead of my mom). I've had 0 help since college, and I paid for 1/2 of college while assuming all of the debt. But I also wouldn't expect any help after college - I

Can someone explain to me why the sentiment on here has changed? If I remember correctly, when we first learned of this TPP, everyone here was up in arms that it was a secret cabal designed to infringe on innovation. I think there was an EF

I tried using Signal but the problem is no one else wants to. So yeah I'd love e2e encryption but it requires both parties to use it, which is a problem.

It's everyone's responsibility - I'm not giving a pass to the Heartland or the Coasts. I come from the kinds of demographics that connect with both - born and raised in a small, rural town just minutes north of Boston with a

I don't like the San Francisco-only bend. Your title is "Smart Career Bot for Developers," it doesn't mention anything about how location-specific it is (same with the name of this HN thread). Not everyone can relocate a

I think you could optimize quite a bit of this. If you made your shape objects more robust, even just {x,y,on}, instead of doing all of those nested for loops, you could start leveraging array methods like filter to only select the ones whe

Because it's institutional - the way it's always been . That percentage point made sense in the first dotcom boom when it required a lot of effort and capital to get a startup going. Inertia is an incredible thing, it's hard

I've seen plenty of employees in the 20-25 range get 0.05% equity. Are they delivering less than 1% of the total value of the company? I would say not.

A good, but insufficient way to grant equity to employees. The fact is in 2016, startup founders take considerably less risk than they did a decade ago. You can go from idea to revenue in days , with essentially no cost upfront. If you hir

You're not wrong in hating React, but it is a fad as much as no one wants to believe it. The reason I believe is because no matter how strong the framework, eventually it will be adopted (to some extent) into the native language (which

You definitely have to learn a DSL - in JSX you have to use className instead of class for the HTML tag property. There are a few other examples of this, but the point is the argument doesn't hold water against Angular's templ

I completely disagree that self-driving cars are un-American. In fact I would go so far as to say that self-driving cars are the future to the American suburb. If America was founded on freedom and the pursuit of happiness, what could be mo

It's just raw salary divided by 2000 hrs (50 weeks a year * 40 hr weeks). It's obviously never fully accurate for any one person, but that's just how the world calculates something that isn't inherently hourly. If that&#
