Could someone help a non-American to understand? I've read people can stay years in motels, how is that possible? is renting a house in the US that expensive? or, is renting a motel that cheap? maybe I'm missing another variable?

I'm a Spanish native speaker and I also have problems with articles, but it seems like I have the opposite problem, it seems like Spanish uses articles more often than English, so I usually add them when they are not required, maybe no

I think a lot of people who interact with dogs in a regular basis will disagree too. My girlfriend has a little female Chihuahua, and even though I never feed her she will go crazy every time I enter the house. Why would she do that if I&#x

Here is another report on Twitter about a similar case, it seems like it didn't get the required attention at the time: https://twitter.com/goodyerin/status/859119557654523906

The same happened to me. First, I started unfollowing people I don't interact with in real life anymore, after that, I unfollowed people I care about but who posted uninteresting things, then, I noticed there were tons of irrelevant F

I've noticed food evolves in a particular way when it arrives to a new country. It's logical that food needs to be adapted to the country taste in order to get popular, but what it intrigues me is that it usually becomes more &quo

Now I get why a lot of Americans come to Mexico to retire, sure we have a lot of problems over here, but with that amount you will be able to live in a good and beautiful town, maybe next to a beach or in a traditional town like San Miguel

I've been around here for a while, but I don't usually contribute in HN, so my karma is a little low, how much karma do you need to access the down-vote button?

Is it me or is HN slowly becoming a "clever comments" site? don't get me wrong I like comments that draw a smile on my face, but I think I already have that in almost every other site out there (9gag, Facebook, Instagram) ple

What downsides does it have compared to a more traditional environment? I'm a C# developer so Xamarin sounds really tempting, it's just that I don't want to break my head on "simple" stuff I could easily avoid with

Plus I think we got to a point where those upgrades are not totally necessary unless you work with cutting edge software, my MacBook Pro from 2013 still works perfectly, and my windows HP from 2014 too... I'm a developer and those two

Do you know if German Shepherd share this closeness to wolves? I've met some really well behaved GS, but then I've met others with more wild like behaviors. I used to own a beautiful GS, the first year he was like any other dog, h

Well I guess it will depend on where you draw the empathy line. Some people care only about themselves, they will look after themselves, if they have to choose they will always pick the option that benefits them. Then you have the people wh

Same scenario in Mexico, people in the US didn't leave SMS as fast as us because they had unlimited SMS plans. A lot of people in our countries didn't have that option, we had to pay around 20 US cents per SMS that was just insane

I've always wondered, is performance an issue with your colleague? Does he need to put extra hours or effort to finish some jobs? Or maybe he can be faster than the average developer with other tasks?

I love paper books, I love seeing them in my shelf, but since I bought a Kindle I just stopped buying paper books. It is just too easy to buy a kindle book with one click. The process goes like this, someone recommends a book in HN, they pr

Well it depends where you are. I spent my last vacations in Cuba, and it was a pain to have to bargain with taxis every single time, same distances will cost me anywhere between 25 and 5 dlls. I really missed uber over there, or even a taxi

Yeah I think New York was a bad example, but as someone outside the US I have always been fascinated by the US concept of suburbs (showed in a lot of movies and series), big yards, green gardens, big trees, family friendly environments were

This is still a problem in Cuba, Ladas are still really common over there, I just can't imagine all the hacks they must do on a daily basis just to keep them running. I spent my last vacations in Cuba, one day I met a really nice taxi

I know every path is different for every person, and the things that worked for you might not work for other people, but could you tell us how did you get your first remote freelance client?

Maybe for new software, but if you're constantly using the same application you'll remember where the main functions are. And that's where you really need it (applications that you regularly use)

I agree, touch feedback from a physical button is important. We lost that with touchscreens, I remember I used to be able to text without looking at my phone, not even at the screen, I used to be sure I pressed the correct buttons because o

Do you remember texting without a touchscreen? I used to do it without looking at my phone, now with touchscreen I lost that ability, I have to check every word, some keyboards help with that correcting my words if I moved my fingers a litt
