At least once before, posting my email on HN lead to a lot of spam. Since there's no way to edit or delete comments after a few hours, it seemed like a bad idea to do it again. Making a reddit account takes literally 5 seconds so I did

Yes. Web developer here looking for someone with a B2B idea they are confident they can sell to a niche market. Prefer no social media related or physical products. Can PM me on reddit if you want to get in touch: https://reddit.

This seems counter to a lot of advice I've seen. They want managers to empower employees and delegate tasks. At a certain scale it would be impossible to micromanage like this. What would you say to that?

>- Sell your startup when a buyer comes knocking at your door. Would you qualify this as "depending on your goals"? A lot of the advice I read online, I think even some PG wrote, is to not take buyers seriously unless you'

An obvious solution to this I've heard of before is to make the minimum salary for H-1B workers to be very high. Over six figures. If the talent is really so rare and difficult that you can't get it in the US, surely that talent i

If you removed votes from all accounts newer than the day you announced this entire program, what would the tally be? If I had to guess it would have still won.

I am not sure feeling uncomfortable around someone or not having a connection with them is a reasonable excuse for a company that wants to encourage diversity and reaching out to disadvantaged groups. Racial bias in workplaces is largely th

Funnily the regular Macbook is smaller and ligther than the Macbook Air. Don't quite understand that one.

Would organic processing actually be any faster? A human brain is capable of more than an Intel CPU in some ways due to its complexity, not due to its speed. And obviously the brain falls short of the CPU in many many ways.

I would love it if I could find even a single person who deeply understands a real-world problem and knows of a way to fix it that two can people can bootstrap together. I have never met one. I have met endless people who have a mediocre un

Can you give a quick summary of the non-hardware problems that need solving and can be solved by an outsider to the industry with no connections? Not having any knowledge of solar, it seems like the only thing to do is have something that m

Good luck, I voted for you. I would love a simple system like this - fresh food in my background with low effort and cost. Lots of reduced waste from grocery store shopping (in terms of shipping to the store and associated spoilage). Also a

Even the support and writing roles start at 100k? Seems really high for both.

On its surface, the movie appears to be praising Snowden. I am convinced it is intentionally shitty and is deliberately overly praiseful of Snowden so that viewers will find it annoying. The net result is that people leave with a negative o

Democracy doesn't have proxy voting when it's the public voting for representatives.

Not really, no. There are laws in place to force transparency in stuff like this, and rightfully so.

My guess is laziness. The easiest way to get a conviction is to the the shitty things mentioned. It requires less thought and less effort but still appears to be doing your job as a prosecutor.

From a front-end developer perspective, I would google "navigation tree jquery", download some library that does this for me, and be done with it. If all children of a checkbox need to also be selected, that's like a single

Maybe a recency bias. I have used computers since I was a kid, my earliest memories are Windows 95 but I am sure there was some before then too. I remember constant BSOD, constant application-crashing bugs with vague error messages, no abil

I think it's a bit sad, really. Baring a discovery that fundamentally changes how the universe as we know it works, we'll very likely never communicate with another form of life. We'll never leave our solar system. We'll

This is only true if there is a fixed pot of money to use on salaries. This is usually not the case.

I disagree. I think the extreme stance of "safe places" we have today are rather stupid, but I would much rather these people make their own communities and exclude those who are deemed undesirables, than try to take over an exist

I am the same with faces, but I have the same problem with everything I imagine. It's as though I can imagine things, but only in the same way you can look at a photo for 1/5th of a second. You get the general concept but no detai

Not saying I agree with it, just explaining why it is legally allowed. And yes I should have used "allegedly" as a qualifier.

Obama uses it a lot so that's probably at least part of it.

I also have beefs with the way HN works but I think the easier explanation here is that this isn't especially interesting because it's decades old, it's somewhat political which lots of HN users don't like on HN, and it

The TLDR is that they are essentially "arresting" the property because it was used in a crime, regardless of who did the crime. The fact that it belonged to someone, often times the person who committed the crime, is sort of irrel
