The Federal Reserve is basically part of the government, under the guise of independence. It's naive that you think otherwise. FDIC is not part of the government and I never said it was, but it does work closely with them. I'm not

The federal government caused the problem first though. The federal reserve denied inflation was real for so long, signaling to everyone that it was safe to buy US Treasuries, then suddenly and aggressively started raising rates. And wasn

Well, for one, I imagine the "network" provided by YC is less valuable to late stage companies than it is to early stage, so YC probably found they were not able to bring as much value. Second, the amount of capital needed to inve

Unfortunately, I found that the best way to resolve these situations is to post publicly on Twitter about what happened making sure to @ the relevant company and # the relevant things. If the support group won't help you, then maybe th

No. I had heard Zantac was recalled due to cancer risk, but didn't know it was related to how it was stored until now. It's paywalled, but this seems to be referenced by a lot of reports: https://www.bloomberg.com/

I understand what you're saying from a practical sense. But having cutesy error messages shows a complete lack of empathy for your users. Better to just communicate that there was a problem, and if you need to say anything else, maybe

It's not just that it causes cancer, but it's that improper storage (heat exposure) increases the risk of it causing cancer, and when informed of that, GSK decided it was not worth doing anything about it. > GSK's leadersh

The difference is that the Magic Eightball is understood to be random. People rely on computers for correct information. I don't understand how it is a cultural problem.

You need consumer groups when you scale the number of consumers, so one consumer doesn't process the same records as another consumer. Having different consumer groups let's you have multiple different consumers for different purp

Over 20 years of seeing this attempted by large companies and I have have never seen it work out well for them. I'm not saying there aren't some talented developers working for cheap, but most of the time you get what you pay for.

OP assumes everyone debating him is doing so in good faith. These "learnings" he is taking to heart could very well be built on lies and ill intentions of those he is debating. Sure, it is good to be open to new information, but i

This is probably risky saying this here, but here goes: HN is crying a river about a bunch of millionaires losing their jobs. 99% of these people will land another job without any problem. Sure maybe they will have to accept a more normal

I guess I came across harsh maybe, but I really am trying to constructively help OP. Rather than enabling that way of thinking and reassuring them, I think they need a wake-up call. You're right, though. I don't know their circums

To be honest, your biggest limitation is going to be your mindset, not your age. The fact that you can't see a path forward for yourself and using phrases like "execs who had no interest in leveling me up" (hint: it's y

Chromebooks seem to be the standard nowadays. At least that is what are issued by the school around here (Midwest US). My first thought is that if someone can't afford a computer, wouldn't they prefer to have a "lesser"

Wow, thanks. I just realized, I misinterpreted your comment as a sarcastic criticism of HN, when it was not.

No, I get it. I just don’t let a company off the hook because there is an intermediary between them and me. At some level, Honda pays money to have ads shown and either approve of, or don’t care about, how it is displayed. Either way is bad

I don't understand. HN is simply rendering a link. This is different than many online ads, which make a call to some remote server which returns the ad content (and presumably tracks you without consent). There is not a third party ser
