I was hoping this article was going to mention about remaining calm and not getting angry on the road. He kind of alluded to it in the beginning with 'What’s wrong with you - are you blind?!!' My wife has terrible road rage and I&

Interesting the author made no mention of hearing damage and the impact it could have on the younger generation. I wonder if it was a deliberate decision to avoid a common debate or if she just didn't consider it.

I disagree. I found the speaker's style to be very engaging and I was happy to sit through the whole talk.

Isn't it only difficult to let go employees who've been in the job for more than 2 years? I'm pretty sure that how it is in the UK at least. Even then, there's the option of a PIP, which allows you to quantify their inef

I haven't read as much on the topic as you, but I've always heard that WWII was effectively a continuation of WWI; the root cause being the punitive measures in the Treaty of Versailles. I'd therefore assumed that Hitler was

I'm glad someone else mentioned Scorched Earth. My friends and I played this to death when we were young. I never got on the Worms bandwagon though as it just felt like an over-animated very of Scorched Earth.

Theresa May is my local MP. I keep trying to vote her out, but the idiots around me keep voting her in! So when we sleep walk into a mass surveillance state I can honestly look at the people who live around me and say 'this is your dam

My experience is totally opposite. I've found Google voice search very effective, even in a crowded bar. When I listen to some the recordings that were successful[1], I'm frankly amazed at what a good job it does. 1. https:/

"It might be the 2nd largest economy in the EU (9th in the world)" Isn't it the 5th largest in the world? http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-projected-gd...

I'd never heard of the STAR answering format mention in the article. It looks really useful and I'll definitely give it go next time. Does anyone have any real world experience using these kind of techniques?

While I agree with you that this article is utter rubbish, no-one should be in doubt that we must devour other lifeforms in order to live - vegetarian or not. We're just making choices on what life we are willing to kill. We're al

I disagree with the text being too large. On my 1080p monitor it looks just fine. The two column text is annoying though; I have to scroll down and then up again.

"Nobody is denying cannabis is not addictive, it is, very" Can I get a source on that? It flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

I'm in the UK and I use voice search all the time on my Android. Who wants to type phrases into a keyboard when it soooo much quicker to just say it? Plus the voice recognition's accuracy is absolutely stunning for me; even in a c

Fascinating article. Long read (I'll be honest, I skipped the middle bits), but the conclusion in interesting. This was the tl;dr for me: "Some things we’ve learned over the past 30 years – that novelty is more important than qual

Does anyone know why American headlines are written in this way? It would sound more natural if it was "Signs of Insiders' Edge in Fantasy Sports" I've seen this a few times before, so I'm guessing it must be a cult

In almost every retro I've been in, 'communication' has been near the top of the list of complaints. Everyone wants to be informed, but nobody wants to take the time to receive the information. For developers, every meeting i

In the Features analysis section, points 5 and 6 have the same heading, Dependency Injection. Should point 6 be Server Rendering or something similar?

I've pretty much given up on the old Scrum-style standup. It's just another form of torture that to put devs through. I agree with the ceremony itself, but for development teams, or even worse operation teams, trying to catalog an

The company I work for has deployed an on-premise PaaS using CloudFoundry. You get many of the benefits of a PaaS without the astronomical costs. Of course, we do need a small team of excellent DevOps engineers to keep the whole thing movin

I'm sure Betteridge's Law could be applied much more effectively to American news headlines than anything else. For example, how many times do we see crazy headlines on Fox News like "Is Obama a gay communist terrorist?"

If there is one thing that HN has taught me it's not to make broad, hyperbolic statements just because I don't like something; especially if it is a divisive issue. There is always a "moron4hire" who will rip you a new o
