Dude. You flew to another country to look at a bunch of animals. Your guide knows that your wealth is magnitudes more than his own. He was lying to you to make you feel better so that you tip more.

Are you kidding? Social media companies literally have people on their payroll whose entire job is to increase engagement. They turn the sites into addictive Skinner boxes because the are incentivised to do so. Of course it's hard to q

I know you're just being flip, but the benefits of "thoughts and prayers" isn't solely to ask some imaginary being for help. The benefit is that it directs the attention of the community at large towards the problem. Thi

How do you objectively lump Trump in with this? He's had a very long career (whether or not is was successful or not is another question) and has been in the public eye for literally decades. Love him or hate him, Trump does not only h

The whole issue being discussed is that HN made a terrible design desicion when they implemented quotes and code styling for Mobile.

I think you are missing the whole point of cemeteries and crypts: to honor the dead. They are not parks. They are not nature preserves. They are not just quiet places with scenic views. They are memorials to those who have gone before. Turn

Too bad I can't read it because HN quotes suck on mobile and don't work with the brave browser in Android. @dang fix your mobile css and styling.

This sounds more like a problem with your young companies processes, not a problem with slack or email. Maybe you should think about a formal method of documenting important decisions for your company instead of relying on a chat log. &quot

"lifestyle business" is a phrase made up by silicon valley wannabes to describe businesses that "only" generate a large enough profit for the owners to be millionaires instead of billionaires.

I can tell you why this will never be a thing: the infrastructure cost is way too high. Not just the cost of materials and labor, either. I'm talking social, political, and environmental costs. people would fight this left and right. P

Bring your own car seat?! And then what, carry it around all day when I get to where I'm going? Limiting speeds to 20 mph? What? It would take way too long for anyone that doesn't live in the city center to get anywhere!

Interesting read. It sounds like you lack a "mission" that your startup job provided, and just any old arbitrary mission can't replace it. My advice would be to figure out what you want out of life: wife, kids, where would yo

yeah. I live in Minneapolis, am charging 67/hour (roughly 140k/year pre tax) and my rent is 1200/month. my total monthly expenses are roughly 3500/month so I am able to save almost 50% of my post tax income.

you obviously don't have a wife, girlfriend, or daughters. Women use toilet paper to clean up their makeup and their ahem , stains, and for a whole bunch of other things besides just wiping their butts.

This is bad logic. By your metrics, the most lethal thing in the world is a rusty spoon stabbed into some ones eye; either it kills the target instantly or kills them later due to infection. Very close to 100% death rate. Very lethal. No co
