I obviously can't relate entirely, but I have bulked up to 220 for weight lifting and subsequently cut down to 165 for rock climbing and my stomachs capacity would swing wildly based on input. Think 8 hot dogs and buns easily at 220 to

With knowledge workers isn't there like... an end result? I usually know who on my team will get stuff done vs who will struggle with a task for days on end. Whether the person is working 4 hours a day or 12 who cares about anything be

Have fun with that. I much prefer having modern medicine, grocery stores, modern entertainment etc. Just yesterday I picked up a bunch of tacos and sat down to watch the movie Renfield with the family and I had a brief moment of awe about a

If you live in a high traffic area having your car drive you through the stop and go is currently possible and a huge quality of life increase. Stop and go traffic is 100% the worst experience when driving, having that automated is awesome.

It’s divorced from some “higher” reality maybe, but the CEO will be operating in a human reality where their attractiveness will continue to pay off. Getting more funding, hiring talent, and eventually trying to IPO will all be influenced b

It's behaving like a VC funded unicorn that is trying to get their IPO payday but it really isn't that at all. Sucks.

Interviewees being able to instantly produce the right answer made me think of another problem Interviewers need to account for currently: people who are biding their time until the market heats up again. There are definitely engineers hunt

I’m all for housing and support to help people get back on their feet. I just don’t understand why that housing has to be in SF/Oakland. It is a crazy dense and expensive area. There are cities that would gladly take in low skill worke

They probably have totally different priorities. Apollos only goal is good UI/UX. Reddits is tracking, Ad revenue, prioritizing cached content and who knows what other priorities have been pushed into it.

No this is good info, Learn AWS Route 53 if you want to command a high salary. Maybe this was written by an AI? I feel like an editor with some tech knowledge would have laughed at those categories.

Why hurting the kid. Just make a kid with both your DNA and then take them to court for child support. Easy.

You will be ok based on the fact that you are asking about it on HN. Tech workers in the US move their entire lives just to do something like snowboard more. I watched a documentary about bread bakers in Afghanistan and there was a whole ec

They definitely aren’t erasing it in CA. My kid was taught to refer to them as concentration camps instead of internment camps. It is a totally accurate term but it felt like a strong change after calling the Nazi camps by that name.

Same thing, my friends fiancé somehow became known as a very good and reliable dog walker. He would walk dogs around some very expensive parts of SF. Was making close to 200k and looking at homes last I heard. I feel like this must have a h

nuts, I have a little app that relies on it. It is still working atm and returning results from a few seconds ago but that sucks. I was also always baffled how pushshift API is so superior to the Reddit API. AFAIK it is running for ~$1k&#x

People aren’t generally affected by issues that are out of sight like those you list. A classmate saying something critical about an teenagers appearance will be 100x more impactful than the rainforests imminent disappearance.

Really interesting point, looking back it holds true for me as well. My last two bosses were single dudes with no partner, family or even dog and their management style was impersonal and difficult. It was like working for an AI trained on

We already have noise ordinances but police don’t enforce them. It is really hard to prove a person was making a noise I guess. Maybe with the right motivation they could just make certain vehicle modifications entirely illegal. Loud cars a

That’s a great point and kinda hilarious. Parents who pushed you too aggressively towards success being the biggest obstacle you faced on your path to success. The trauma.

Non violent and violent offenders should be treated differently. Hurting someone’s car is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. The author of this article killed someone. Making sure he is comfy is a bit disrespectful to the decease

A high speed rail enabling people to commute to SF/LA from 100+ miles away in under an hour would immediately relieve a huge amount of housing issues while creating tons of jobs in low income areas. The whole central valley would becom

IP, marketing and reputation mattered in this case. It hasn't even been out long enough to get a consensus on the quality of the game.

Your idea that if you give people space and resources they will explore and learn and do creative things is talked about in regards to many issues. I don't totally buy it. Smartphones and computers in general are a pretty strong exampl

Do a bit of the groundwork first: Build a landing page, attach free tier analytics to it and start sharing it as much as you can (especially with strangers who are your target market). Reddit is actually a great source for this, just find a

Of those two the second struck me as an example of someone who should expect to be victimized. It is funny how conditioned we are to assume people online will be as malicious as we allow them to be.

Are the spikes of car thefts similar across all cities? Every large city has Kia and Hyundais, you would think this would be a nationwide phenomenon.
