What's wrong with humor on HN? I think it is perfectly fine.

What's wrong with bacon, cheese omelettes and milk? Of course there is nutrition found in all of those. I primarily eat a protein/fat based diet and survive on bacon and eggs.

Yeah because CA is going to depopulate because of the drought. Come on be realistic.

Of course those are all transactions. The helping hand, the caring kiss from the depths of motherly love, etc - they are win-win transactions. The baby gets comfort and love and the mother gets a dose of oxytocin to encourage further bondin

Welcome to Life 101. It's all about sales + skill. Skill is one part of the equation, necessary but not sufficient. Sales is the other part - unfortunately a great salesman can go very far without hard skills (to be fair, a great sales

I don't think anyone thinks disagreement should lead to hurt feelings. There's a difference between being right and KIND and being right and a total ass. We live in a civil world and as much as you promote "natural vigor&quot

Outliers, lucky, Right place, right time. The problem is with the people that try to emulate leaders like that - they try to play Steve Jobs in meetings and end up causing all of the damage without any of the greatness.

No, the second manager didn't fire me - my apathy and lack of motivation didn't keep the team from shipping or themselves being demotivated. A key thing the first manager taught me was that a good leader is able to keep their team

That's kinda...uncalled for. Seems like you have personal issues with him? What does having a tattoo have to do with anything, or am I missing something?

The best manager I ever had (and continues to be my inspiration today) was also one of the kindest, genuine, and empowering people I've ever met. Not necessarily nice, but kind. The worst manager I ever had once told me "you'

I can't speak for the Lily blades, but I have a couple of drones a little larger and the blades are harmless - they stop as soon as they detect obstruction and they are flexible/not sharp. It won't cut anyone.

Video made me want to have a more active life. I thought "cool!" but then I imagined my video output would be hours of me typing, browsing HN & Reddit.

If you create something that is "Uber for X, stored on the blockchain, anonymous & ephemeral" that's like 80B valuation right there. "Uber for x, blockchain, anonymous, ephemeral" -> the evolution of "So

Telling time is <5% of my usage for my watch. My next appointment, current activity level, and favorite stock price are much much more important to me at a glance and no analog watch will tell me that.

The problem is knowing which 90% can be ignored...sure I can turn off all email notifications or only show emails from "VIPs" but sometimes I really do need to know that a downstream team has an outage that will impact me, and I

Absolutely! The author states: >Hence the heart beat transmitter, which is simply a cute gimmick that nobody will use more than once I use this feature with my wife at least once a day. It's a great way to quickly remind someone you

I haven't had a problem with my watch (Apple) not being visible in bright light and the screen turns on as soon as I lift my wrist to view it. Hasn't been an issue for me. It is also waterproof (see youtube videos submerging it un

Why is that? I actually enjoy the deep amount of functionality with the Apple Watch - there's a lot of "there" there, and that makes me more productive and happier.

One of the problems the author mentions - iMessage received and a notification coming to iPhone, iPad, Watch at the same time - actually doesn't happen. Apple was smart enough to ensure the notification only goes to the watch if the ot

It's a great place to work. There, you can no longer say "you never heard it's a great place to work". Sample size of 1, but I love it.

OkCupid - anecdotal, but it seemed like an overall more interesting/intellectually stimulating pool on OkC vs. some of the others.

I enjoy it...what is your problem with these small tie-ins?
627.
by eclipxe 11y ago
You will. It's great down here. There's a balance - different professions, different perspectives. SV can be a big echo chamber. It's great to geek out, but you also can fall victim to serious group-think.

Not to be a negative HN'er, but this just feels like something people in SF/SV will go crazy about, but will not resonate/scale outside of SF/SV. It's not solving a problem significant enough for the cost. The small

I love XCode, used VS for many many years and wouldn't go back. I love IntelliJ also, but XCode is a close second
