"Real-time email notifications considered harmful" Seriously, if your daily activities require actual thought, turn all that shit off. If you need to know when a critical email shows up from time to time or from specific people, f

The problems that led to this failure of the system are cultural not procedural. We already have the constitution and many laws and procedure that should have prevented what has been going on. What we have is a profound lack of understandin

I'm sure it has been asked many times before, but I'd love to hear the latest thinking... Why in 2013 is HN still running on bespoke hardware and software? If a startup came to you with this sort of legacy thinking you'd laug
