Sounds like an empirical question to me. I'd ante a moderate sum though that @chil's assessment is closer to the truth in terms of homogeneity of political leanings on HN and, if you could somehow measure it, that there is ".

I'd love to see a notebook environment that could somehow combine Python data science tools with DOM/JavaScript interactive visualization tools like D3. Jupyter and crew do former and this does the latter. What we really want is b

A lot of straw manning in this thread. Personas can be a very useful way to characterize your product's users. There are other ways as well. Each have their pros and cons. Personas are great for deriving a small covering set of concret

The issue with designing an internal service without a consumer in mind is it tends to bloat the functionality and interface to allow for a variety of speculative-at-best use cases. The issue with desiging an internal service with a consume

In my experience, there isn't a whole lot of "winning" in scenarios of fundamental disagreement. Sides just dig in and entrench. Not much to be done there I think. My debate vs dialogue distinction is more about the priming o

Good points though the term debate has become a dirty word to me. I frame it as preferring "dialogue" over "debate" where dialogue refers the kind of exchange you laid out and debate is more of a conflict or competition

I think everyone here is being a bit cavalier when they say "it's never too late". Sure, just like it's theoretically never too late to start a company or even run for president. In reality, mentors tend to gravitate tow

Downvoting because they weren't that snarky and because of your smugness. Your willingness to tell some one straight up why you downvoted them was good however.

Even if only half of this is true, that's absolutely chilling. Apparently the wrong-think police are not playing around.

Awesome book. I find the lessons apply at all levels of leadership and influence, i.e., from running a country to running a high school clique. I worked in Africa under PEPFAR/CDC and can confirm, like 5% on average of that aid actuall

Yeah. Any online sports betting site. Football for example, you can bet realtime on things like halftime score, final score, etc. as the game progresses. Even cooler is you can bet on the next play. Like "next play will result in a fir

Yes, mnanagement of that type of employee can be a definite issue. Depends on the type of the manger too. Top-down, command-and-control managers go nuts in this arrangement. Delegator managers do fine as long the employee ultimately comes t

Another way to look at it is people are expressing a need to have a single good search tool rather than having to learn every individual site's search tool. Site hosted search varies wildly in quality too since many don't get much
