I think "What comes next?" is an incomplete question, without any context. "What comes next in the sequence of (blah)?" is a complete question with full context. But that question wouldn't make anybody feel superior

I continue to think it's silly when people assume Trump just tweets his thoughts directly with no regard for results. That might have happened in the past during his campaign, but multiple people have handled that account. I can see no

I love HN but there is a very healthy level of suspicion for developing different ways of attacking already-solved problems. May not be the best example but look at the comments on announcing Dropbox. Doing > Wanting to do in nearly ever

For scientific research maybe, but I'm sure you're aware that usage "anecdotes" (i.e. use cases) are part of the basis of designing a user experience.

As CTO at a small healthcare company, one of my primary goals is to prevent even our employees from getting unaudited access to the db in our production system. In dev, no problem.

Don't you have to actually satirize the content being used, though? It would seem that using images to create a satire of something totally separate would require permission.

I'm glad you get to travel. (no sarcasm!) I wanted to mention though that I am seeing irony in this.

Humans are strange creatures. Most people I know on FB literally put their absolute best face forward on there. Pictures of doing things with their family, sharing good things that happen to them, etc. However the net effect is reducing the

I feel the same as you, and I think it's worth thinking about. At the risk of sounding very "get off my lawn"-ish (I'm only early 30s!) I think it's related to the fact that our lives are now giant public soap opera

If I walk into a McDonald's, I wager that the social normality requirements and laws that permit my access there and permit the owner to legally throw me out is longer than the 50,000 words cited in the article. However, I fully unders

This is absolutely true. Our company's website leaves much to be desired (and I'm in charge of it!) but we do not solicit or receive leads from it.

Funny how people know actors for different things. I googled "Matt Frewer" and my first thought was "Oh, that guy from that one episode of The Next Generation."

I disagree. Opinions like this one allow people who want to make more money, impress employers and get noticed because of it, and therefore excel to achieve those goals. The unintended consequence of a rule like this will be that employers

It seems the underlying problem is that people who generally produce reasonable work productivity using email also likely are employed as salaried, overtime-exempt. I don't think it is reasonable to craft a law saying you cannot commun

I'm very glad to have read that wikipedia page, and feel smarter. But I think you'd have reached a broader audience and not required a link if you had just called it Marco Polo.

I remember telling my elementary school class when we were discussing what we wanted to be when we grew up that I wanted to be like Roberta Williams. Which was strange from their vantage point because I was a boy, and because nobody had a c

Do you know why it went offline? I'll assume lack of funding. What would be the best way to make a niche-app like this self-funding, given developers' aversion to ads? Donations? Monthly/Annual subscription? I have a similar

This is kind of how politics works. He has to placate his base, while making compromises with the other side. He then has to act like it was a huge deal to make those compromises, and was against his best interests, so they will continue to

I see no problem with game workers unionizing, but when I want to release my indie game on itch or steam and I am stopped because I have to pay dues to the union, we'll have a very real and unfriendly discussion.
