Most people take SV/WS as a geographical identity, starting a war between the two. However, rather than war, we've been seeing a confluence. WS is nothing but a group of workers, morality, tradition and culture. Right now, WS is n

I was gonna suggest a sentiment analysis of the sentence associated with H1B, but your last phrase summarizes my lack of ingenuity.

Technically, if they don't receive money in a Thai bank, it'd be both hard and unfeasible to be punished. Don't wanna state the obvious,but even If you're coding(could claim to be open-souce work), it's not like the

I don't like to talk about it, but some tech giants are going the same path as investment banks. I left my quant job to get freedom in the Valley, but it turned out to not be so different.

I'm autistic and I feel disgusted by such announcement. I have worked hard, gained a PhD and that's why I'd be recruited into one of these companies. If Microsoft could do anything, it should just understand an autistic persp

I sympathize with SF parents, but one must understand the nature of the job and try to work with it. As a software engineer, I know I must work towards a path that allows me to prosper as a father and have time for my family. SF/Wall S

If anyone is exploiting my system, microphone would be my top priority. Getting image doesn't really tell as much as listening to what, how and when you talk.

The shortest criticism is that globalisation doesn't spur scientific innovation, as it'd be just copying what works. Inward tech development would take 0->1 while outward would be taking 1 and spread across the world.

My problem with minimalist living is that, quite often, adopters reduce any possession. Although my physical items would fit in a small suitcase, I have several investments and properties to increase my personal wealth. It's not as sup

I'm excited with the emergence of cryptocurrencies and the new equity crowdfunding JOBS Act, but I fear what scams people will exist, once people gather these two.

While I understand the reasons behind the article, I don't think it's a real issue on HN. If someone uses gratuitous negativity, other users generally will comment and refute the fallacious claim. As logic and respect are usually

That's not the implementation of something like that. Actually, apart from military coup, your plan looks exactly like the current system. I can't tell if that was an irony...

I don't wanna sound like an annoying libertarian, but would it be the same if water was privatized in CA? Seems reasonable to assume a private company would solely increase the price of water and gradually try to find other ways to sol
