Yep, it starts. I happen to really love driving, clean record, etc. In 10 years, it's going to be getting touchy for folks who still prefer driving themselves rather than letting the self-driving cars do it. The freedom will be exchang

Flip those around to positives, because they are relative and preferences, and you've got the recipe for why Austinites love Austin, the weather being among the top 3 reasons. Also, Texas is objectively a better place to start a business, o

It is harder, frankly. But the counter-argument that Austinites make is that they don't need as much funding, and prefer to avoid large amounts of investment in favor of a more bootstrapped company that is (probably) more stable and a long-

Full responsibility. Let's break that down. Full responsibility, on the surface, means that Manning is taking full responsibility under the law, and is not shying away from the legal consequences of his actions. He knows that according to

It's a fair point, and you balance out the spectrum of "touchy feely vs. effective," but it's just that: a spectrum. People don't have to be abrasive and impossible to deal with in order to be brilliant, and people don't have to be in touch

This is why the resume is broken, and why I drew a line in the sand for myself shortly after graduating college in 2009 that I would never get a job using a resume again. I would only find jobs via my reputation, connections, and by pitchin

I'm very curious to see what the technical review turns up tomorrow. This feels like something that would have been connected to the Salesforce acquisition 3 years ago, and then making the service less efficient in order to increase profits

As a person whose core skillset is writing, not programming, I feel more qualified to comment on this particular HN thread than most others which I prefer to demure on. I love the question about how to write well. It's the craft I've dedica

Hey Scoot, sorry the emails didn't grab you. I want to echo Erica's comments below. She and Patrick laid an amazing groundwork for transparent and human communication that Trafton, and when I joined the company during SXSW this year, I was

I love the point you make here. There are two elements at play in our decision-making, the "cerebrally rational" element, with data, deductive reasoning, and concrete examples. The other side is the "abstract" (the opposite of rational isn

That's a really great question, and a lot of people have asked it. So we had Jason write a blog post to explain how we count visits. TL;DR "We take the number of unique IP addresses seen in a 24-hour period as the number of “visits” to the

Agreed. This makes a big difference in how people can deploy WordPress now. Next time you're doing research, you may want to take a look at nginx and how it works with Apache / what the tradeoffs are. It's a blazing fast server technolog
