Coordination technology to connect people who “want to help” with good ways to “actually help”. Right now it is very difficult for people to figure out good ways to help causes they care about. Whether in big ways, like career shifts, or sm

This is impressive and fun! I can tell a ton of work went into this.

Don’t let the negative comments about browser compatibility get you down. These are perfectly reasonable issues, and it’s really hard making something this full featured fully cross-compatible. While ideally there are graceful degradations

Sure you can. Money is worth what you think someone else will think it is worth later. This can become an arbitrary amount stemming from the memes present in the zeitgeist

“Survival of the fittest” is a overused phrase that does not do true justice to evolution. While not explicitly untrue it invokes associations with purely competitive dynamics which does not do justice to the intricacies of evolutionary dyn

Looks good, appreciate that you kept most of the raw HTML appeal

Great to see better open source game tooling. Amusingly Unity / Unreal are in some ways running out of senior game engine engineers to hire because everyone is already using their engine! Hopefully this helps spur some more folks to go

Nope, I’m looking at some pretty specific frames the author is pushing, see below.

Well this to start: “ A woman who sleeps around throughout her twenties and is left with nothing is not free.” There’s a lot of pretty messed up sexism packed in there.

by gavanwilhite 5y ago
While an interesting topic, the author needs to tone down the sexism before it seems like it deserves a place on HackerNews

Rock on Greg / Dom / John / all! Awesome seeing behind the scenes on all this.

I’m sad about your friend. You seem to be making some assumptions about causation though. I can imagine other correlations there. To make the claim that “you wouldn’t legalize them”, you’d need to make the case that prohibition and the use

This is not correct. Your edit is also not correct. This is not a "some people" thing. It is a "how you got yourself to stop" thing. This is only true if you stop by using willpower. You need to reogranize your belief sy

This looks quite promising!

Yeah it might be as simple as changing it to "adding the task to a backlog" or 'next sprint' or whatnot. Again a minor thing, I've just been thinking a lot about leadership techniques recently.

Random feedback, but the ad-hoc task assignment examples with specific dates seems counter to the type of tasking and leadership I’ve seen be the most successful. This may be normal in other industries, but it’s tilted towards the boss’s co

Seems like maybe you would have been good to talk to Kaiser or other companies more directly incentivized towards positive health outcomes?

I’m a bit surprised that nobody has called attention to the Pepe the Frog meme. Given its association with the alt-right at worst, and trolling at best, this seems out of character for hacker news.

by gavanwilhite 6y ago
I believe this is the wrong way to think about this. Character flaws are often associated with certain effective traits, but are not chained to them. In your example, one can be vocal, biased-twoards-action, and low-bullshit, while also giv

Anthropogenic (human-caused) existential and catastrophic risk is way higher than risk from natural events (like asteroid strikes). It's unfortunate that the author misses this point. Bioterrorism, nuclear war, totalitarian governments

Does anyone know if there is recourse to log into connected sites if your Google or Facebook account is ever banned? This is my primary fear in using those sign in methods.

For projects where an estimate is very important (not pointing every story in a sprint), I will do an 80% confidence bounds where on one end everything goes perfectly, and the other where everything goes horribly wrong. For both, it should
