We think it's true for the same reason many people talk about Hacker News as though it's the only place that attracts talent, and as though talent universally flocks there. It's $INGROUP bias, and sectionalism. On the one han

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that pattern is sustainably observed, then it almost certainly means the upvote/downvote privileges should be changed, correct? Elsewise, the pattern will continue like entropy, until the majority o

I highly second this. To offer my own recent experience, I just had an interview yesterday of this format. It was around 4 hours (5 including lunch with the team). 1. I was repeatedly made to feel welcome, comfortable and calm as I possibly

Totally agree, especially with your second point. Both my parents are career educators (teachers, counselors and now professors). They personally tell me about how "helicopter parenting" has increased in the time since they'v

It's like something out of a hacker action flick. "You have 60 minutes to code a security patch for a vulnerable payment processing app." "Congratulations, you shipped to a million people and saved the company from hacke

I second this. I've discussed it in entirety with my parents, my girlfriend, her parents, and her siblings. They get it as well. They also don't care. In fact, they're pretty much shocked at all the surprise and nerdrage on t

Honestly, I think it's neurotic that human beings will receive criticism for, and have to worry about the choice of how many times they tap a space bar when writing (not even coding ). That we have to even include things like output f

There are a lot of people who don't know what this is like; as someone who used to regularly experience this, I'd like to share some of my experience. I have been in real situations that legitimately threatened my life and safety,

It's actually very serious. Just like ATMs, power stations can look completely harmless while being incredibly dangerous under the surface. Once you connect to a system via USB, it automatically allows data transfer, which makes your s

Yeah...seriously. I expect some people will take offense to this, but here it goes: So what? If this contrived issue that Google may face is now considered a serious matter, then I guess everything is off limits. "Hey Tom, what sh

Okay. I get your point. The NSA is terribly flawed and out of bounds, and we need to raise hell to fix America. We're in agreement that the NSA is a problem we should care about. One question: where does it end? I cede the point that A

Yep. To demonstrate, I present Exhibit A: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6361558 A news headline about the Apple iPhone event, completely overshadowed by NSA speculation. The first threads spans 1/2 a page to 3

You'd probably like SMBC too (if you don't already read it).

I agree with you that it's relevant to technical news, but I don't think it has anything to do with "plugging ears" or "willful ignorance." I don't flag them (it's pointless I think), but I think the

On the contrary, I think it's pretty cool and creative that they did this. Very tactical of them. But then, I'm also very neutral in the iPhone vs. Android debate.

Spot on. I couldn't finish it to be honest. The author could have broken this article into at least two different essays to flesh out his ideas more. There was just so much going on.

I don't like posts like this. "Beautiful in your own way" doesn't cut it. Instead of telling women that men don't care about those things (which, for most men, is false), be honest about it and encourage them to fin

"Then Max started saying some shit about something called 'serifs'. Yeah ok, like that’s a real word." This is a perfect parody. I have nothing against Yahoo or Mayer, but man was that blog post snobby. I mean, seriously

I hate it when people say this as a response. If I'm on a bridge, and people are jumping off en masse, then one of two things is happening: 1. They've all been mentally affected, in which case, I almost certainly am too, or; 2. Th
