My wife and I have a two year old business ( https://hostelofmaine.com ) that will likely go under if stay at home orders & shut downs are not lifted in the near future. That said, I am 100% in favor of continuing to disallow

Oof. I can't see how this is anything other than a huge assumption to think that you know better than each and every business that has thousands of servers. The smartest people I know generally assume the least of situations they are n

I have never seen this to be the case. Do you have any data?

We opened a hostel ( https://www.hostelofmaine.com/ ). No regrets. I have always intended to get back into tech in some capacity, and just identifying how that will work and when is the best time is the trick. Still follow

"Sufficient" meaning "Extraordinary"? The data doesn't really show that being hard working correlates with creation of wealth. In addition, it seems wealth plays a larger role in medical school acceptance than one m

What hotel? I did mostly Ruby, Python, and engineering management before opening a Hostel :)

I would normally agree, but emergencies can create opportunities for improvements in the process. See healthcare.gov for example.

That's some wild mental gymnastics! Believing that there is value in having ethnic diversity does not mean you believe there are specific differences in races due to biology. It means you believe that people that grew up in different p

If you could showcase where women are born with DNA that leads them away from software related jobs, I would be very interested. Otherwise, "interested" is incredibly affected by environment and biases, which can be fixed, and sho

My mom doesn't know that her gmail and yahoo emails are different. I promise she's not more online security literate than HN readership on average.

Have you met someone with severe mental retardation? My neighbor required round the clock support, often by multiple people. You could've given that girl 5 million dollars, and she would have no idea how to use it to get support. There

Huh? "Though state leaders have not ironed out details, they had reached consensus on Monday that the plan was necessary to help pay for much-needed repairs to the city’s beleaguered subway system."

Your success criteria both reference the recipient. Often things can work out well for the wealthy and poorly for even those who "voluntarily" opt in.

Recruiters don't know, or often lie about the true range. They are incentivized more to get you in the door than to get every last $, because that will sour their future with that company and will only net them a % of that increase.

You should not pass out, and the mail/email can be easily unsubscribed from.

I agree that basic financial ideas should be taught in high school, but people aren't always ready for a deep dive until they've started to be more independent.

"things are never that simple" says the guy who is implying that you shouldn't think about whether a company is moral/not if you live in a country that does horrible things?

I don't buy your view of what transpired. "In an ideal world", "making a near perfect switch like that is probably unlikely", "took a hit on our reputation", etc. None of these truly recognize the actual w

It doesn't take twice as long to follow the rules. It also is in the companies best interest when it comes to costly collisions, insurance, disability payments, etc.

Which government? The city government is broke. If they merge, the larger city could pay for transitioning costs, but that would be a massive cost (worth it, possibly!) and politically difficult.

Would it make sense for BackBlaze to offer a tool which automatically split restores into 10 zips if over a certain size?

This article never specified you, or your relationship. It used their relationship to discuss a topic that can often happen. You are feeling attacked, and I'm sure you have good reasons in your personal life to be upset, but your react

The ROI on keeping a personal blog up at 5 9s is awful... I understand the desire from a geeky perspective, but it's only really useful for personal enjoyment of the challenge, or bragging.
