It stops when folks stop focusing on a singular angle to create arguments in bad faith. There’s a thousand examples of behavior that shouldn’t be tolerated that at some point in the last 200 years, society tolerated. Likewise, there’s a tho

Hm, my conclusion of the thread was less “VC is evil” and more like “We underestimated the impact VC had and overestimated the impact “organic growth” would have for us.” What’s hypocritical about that?

Either you’re being a contrarian troll, or think all video games are inherently bad. Both “addictive elements” and “grind” have layers of nuance to defining them, particularly when it comes to intended game design. I’d argue if you apply th

I’m starting to suspect the OP is the actual site owner and this is some attempt to drive traffic to his business by feigning as a bad actor trying to hurt said business.

So much this. My latest theory (I’ve spent more time than I care to admit pacing in my home talking to myself about social media) is that the incentive for content creators/publishers to get clicks combined with the increased behaviora

I sympathize with the anti-management sentiment overall, but I’ve yet to see anyone address alternatives to designating someone, new hire or otherwise, as a “manager”. This article doesn’t really touch on it other than to say “do a bunch of

It took me a long time to understand this. Not to say I whole-heartedly endorse it, but the sentiment is reasonable. Unfortunately, the language used elicits such visceral emotion, folks have a hard time divorcing their interpretations for

I don’t think the goal of banning these folks is to change the banned person’s mind. It’s to slow down the spread of the banned person’s rhetoric. To your suggestion that folks who witness the ban take place suspecting “there’s something af

I sincerely hope you don't mean this to be comparable. Beating police with batons? Stealing their riot shields? Spraying them with mace? Stealing property from the capitol? You and I both know that if all the folks did yesterday was go

Notion is sluggish as well. That combined with the reports of HN potentially being slow, is there some larger network issue at play affecting a region of servers, potentially?

This may have been true at one time, but in the age of Youtube videos and live broadcasts being a popular vehicle for all of the above, I don't think folks care anymore about anonymity. It's a toxic race for attention and engageme

Hiring an attorney comes down to a lot more than simple will. The phone camera is one of the most powerful tools the average person has to combat abuses of authority. Not everyone who is a victim of that has the means or resources (or somet

I think you’re assuming the Dave guy accused those folks of being racist. That’s not the same as suggesting historic racism demonizing MSG is what led to them internalizing some feeling of “MSG allergy”, which is what Dave IS suggesting.

This is such a bad-faith, shallow take. Ascribing the act of bringing awareness to “participation trophies” is nonsense. I also disagree with the parent. Bringing change is almost always easiest from within. “Don’t like it? Leave.” stances

This in itself isn’t unusual. Or at least Kentucky’s voter registration tool is the same way.

Your scenario can be a lose-lose situation as it applies to the question. Speaking from experience, you can do the “agile” approach do fail fast, release faster, but with no buy-in from leadership to address the breaks in the future, your c

I don't plan to die on this hill, but I think this practice is somewhat forgivable when assuming good intent. The author may have realized that "MVP" has lost its originally _good_ meaning and became something else. They want

I may be wrong, but I think you missed OP's point. I took his tongue-in-cheek "If only we had some sort of united group of all the States" comment to mean if only we had a president who exercised his influence to encourage th

You’re assuming that four months have gone by and they didn’t have to sell assets to pay bills. Or relocate. Or lay off employees. Or employees quit because they couldn’t be paid with the loss of revenue. You’re modeling makes a lot of assu

I’ll second this. About 6 months ago we hired a product manager who had years of experience basically being a jack of all trades. Design, web development, stat analysis, marketing, etc. she’s capable of having conversations with everyone on

The value of the skill is relative. Some places may have incredible technical talent in their engineering team, but the team doesn’t know an SEO optimization from a consistent UI architecture. In my opinion, a PM is a jack of all trades, an

It’s truly mind blowing how intelligent comments can be here, but the circle jerk of engineers vs non engineers rings so loud. Good PMs know how to gatekeeper from other departments and leadership, identify engineers strengths and defer to
