Wake up between 11:00 and 12:30, arrive at work (Google NYC) by 1:30 or so, leave by 8:30ish (later when I have a good reason), get home, have dinner with my wife if I made it home by 8:00, kiss her goodnight, and take over watching my thre

No ads would mean no Google, which (given Google's market share) I respectfully claim would not be maximized user experience.

Apparently my worst commment is "How did you use starred places?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6346863 I'm sure I've said stuff on HN which is more negative than that.

At least if you work for Google (as I do), comp growth seems to stay ahead of costs if your lifestyle doesn't change too much. But if you want to get married and have a kid (and live in a two-bedroom apartment) it starts feeling prett

Being deaf is an objective, unambiguous disability. I don't think the same is true of being black, even if it correlates negatively with certain metrics.

Yes, you can make me think about pink elephants (though I'm not convinced you can make me associate them with a warm fuzzy feeling). But you can't change my values or my memories by writing me a paragraph like that. You could if

You have extremely limited write access to my mind - text over the internet is not a particular high-bandwidth or invasive channel. Short of some kind of neurolinguistic programming (which AFAIK isn't really a thing), the worst anyo

I upvoted you to try to bring you out of the gray because I think you're making a useful point (though I don't think your tone is effective, which is probably why you got downvoted). Write access to minds is, uh, pretty serious.

I wouldn't watch someone else play Fallout 3, but I like watching people play competitive games like Hearthstone and SC2 because I feel like it makes me a better player. In the case of Hearthstone, the difference between watching and

I have a CS masters from Stanford. I work for Google, and other top tech companies frequently make it clear they'd be happy to have me too. I don't think finding out I had a PhD would cause any of them to change their minds.

This is commonly known as the Straw Vulcan Fallacy. If a course of action leads to less total utility (including fun, happiness, etc.) then choosing that course of action is irrational. This obviously includes overanalysis. For one data p
