You may be overestimating how much management is paying attention. As long as things are shipped reasonably close to time and no one is filing lawsuits most stay more concerned with their own goals than that of their staff.

It fits "just so" like a lot of evolutionary biology hypothesis but it does seem that there would be an advantage to have some portion of the population that spent a significant part of their waking hours after dark. People to kee

| Can we define "most internet video" as Amazon Video, BBC, Hulu, Netflix and Spotify? Maybe you could in terms of unique videos, but in terms of the volume of watched video, not at all. Netflix itself is responsible for something

That is true at least some of the time. Some close friends were selected for a renovation of their living room and at the end it looked nice but things like electrical outlets weren’t hooked up, tv mounted on new wall but no plug, etc. Look

General Magic is still one of my favorite logos. Its a great example of the "playfulness" that was common in (or at least commonly branded in) software business in the 90s.

There has never been a human being who "knew everything" in recorded history, though there have occasionally been those who were given the title. The goal isn't to become an expert and know everything, the best people tend to

Its interesting how many people mistake those for being the same. I grew up in a rural area and often at social events people will introduce me to their friends who grew up in small towns assuming we'd have a lot to talk about. From ma

That is basically what AdultFriendFinder started as. I realize your comment was for humor but it has been tried several times and seems to always move in the direction of a hookup app.

What FANG benefits are you referring to? I have a few clients who work at WeWorks and the nitro coffee and kambucha on tap is fine and well but I wouldn’t call it lavish. Having a few hot and cold drink options for visitors is just common c

The notion that its better to have "good" people doing bad things than "bad" people is such a trash take, but it shows up in nearly every conversation of moral consequence these days.

Could you share the lambda function? It'd be great to be able to see this end-to-end without getting into implementation.

Doesn’t sound familiar, but honestly if it’s a meat and 3, with anybody who frequents HN we’d probably have a mighty fine lunch.

You have to watch Booker T Jones Tiny Office Concert, https://www.npr.org/2011/05/02/135840639/booker-t-jones-tiny... , if you want to see what a real master of the Hammond can do.
