Because you can afford to suck in something you find extraordinary when you're rich, whereas you can't if you need to get paid.

I've met so many of these management types who come in during the middle of a crisis and just demand things be fixed. Those are the worst, and one of my coworkers termed it "pigeon management" - they fly in, shit all over the place, and the

I doubt you could get top notch engineers in Beijing for 10-15k without giving up equity. I think if you go work for Microsoft in Beijing, you can make 40-50k. It's really not that astounding - have you seen real estate prices in Beijing?

You didn't say where "here" was, but I'm going to assume it's somewhere where Sikhs are the minority. I think one aspect of media is that it should be called out when it misrepresents a minority who don't typically get the well rounded cove

I think it can be expected in a professional setting in the US. Given your line of thinking, almost any behavior can be excused. I'll also add that it depends on the expectation of the job when you applied. Normal white collar work in the U

Why do you think I underestimate my own mom? She's been trying to learn to use a computer for the past 10+ years, and she can't. I showed her my iPhone a few months ago and she began to actually do something interesting with a computing dev

I preordered one for my mom, who's never used a computer before in her life. Finally, I found a device safe and easy enough to let her dabble with. With an iPad, she stands a chance to figuring out email and photo sharing and basic web brow

I did downvote, but at the time, the parent post had over 15 points and I wanted to know why.

How does this reply add value? The blog post presents a problem that I (being an American) rarely even think about. I wanted to see how others deal with this issue. WTF is this reply doing?

Reading the comments here, I was expecting worse. It's funny that this reminds of a very typical corporate memo.

Very good point. Another perspective that shapes China is its long term view of things. If you take a hard, LONG look at China's history, it's shaped by the peasant class. The dynastic cycles have been the result of peasant uprisings, so wh

Ok, you asked for it: you're being silly. As far as I'm concerned, she can post whatever she wants in her sig, including how hot and geeky she is.

Agree. I also think the prize should be given to organizations/people who specifically seek out to promote peace, not just produce it as a byproduct.

I used to love audiobooks, until I realized how much longer they took over reading. I prefer podcasts for drives, but even a lot of those aren't very focused and tend to banter.

I was just commenting on how it could be possible that accepting bribery in one country, but not in another doesn't imply a different fundamental personality trait, as was assumed in the example.

by cglee 17y ago
Let's say honesty is a fundamental personality trait. One can be honest and bribe in a country where bribery is accepted. That same person wouldn't in a country where bribery is illegal. It's not the act of bribing that determines one's per

Maybe "unethical" is inaccurate, but I did mean to make a strong point. How about "annoying and unnecessary"? One reason why I enjoy HN is because, as you said, the intelligent and civil discussion. Despite it being sponsored by YC, I reall

If true, that seems downright unethical to me. I've actually met (and possibly drank with) some of the Scribd founders and they seem like really nice, smart fellows, but this practice really shouldn't be encouraged (unless there is a good r
