As the agency owner, how would you have felt reading this if the author had named the agency? It really bugs me how people take a "protect the innocent" approach to these articles when in reality they should be saying loud and cle

Interesting. My take on it is that things are complicated and specialized enough nowadays to warrant people specializing in technical things that aren't necessarily code. For example, integrations and different system interactions can

Wow, this is enraging. It's situations like these that would test how truly civil I am. I'm not sure I'd be able to keep myself from retaliating in other ways.

This is simple economics. If benefits of non compliance > consequences, don’t comply, else, comply. That simple, and applies to tech companies as well. At the end of the day who’s policing this stuff anyway? People only find out when the

Right, for example he said he took off his mask so that he could see his altitude and manually deploy his shoot if necessary. The whole story sounds horrific and it's very unfortunate the co-pilot died. The other bit I found interestin

I traveled through Europe all through 2018. The only bit of trouble I had throughout the entire trip was me trying to be a good Samaritan. Someone approached me, lost, asking me for directions because they didn't have a phone. In my Am

If corporations are going to go to the lengths they go to to psychologically manipulate their uses, they themselves have raised the gravity of the situation in terms of how social media affects people. Especially when the psychology behind

This is not correct. No amount of “traffic” control is going to prevent assholes from revving it in neutral. These people are just bad actors that need to be cited.

>>> just vague rewording of colloquial expressions commonly traded around As I read through the article, I couldn’t figure out if it was me “hating” on the author or if it really read like a 99 cent store hallmark card. Glad to see

The way I explain this super simply to people is absolute value. To most people, it just means that when you take the absolute value of a negative number it becomes positive, and the absolute value of a positive number stays positive. Now t

Fair enough, but by the same token OP mentioned that he is sure he is depressed. Depression can get in the way of finding joy in things, even things you once found joy in. This on top of other symptoms that can contribute to OPs feeling of

OP is in therapy, where you learn various techniques to manage whatever specific issues you're encountering. What the meds do is make it easier to employ those techniques. So while there is no wonder pill that will solve your issues, i

I always encourage and applaud efforts to improve the stats quo, I suspect however that if there were a more efficient way for power users to quickly interact with data we would have found it by now. In fact, to interact with large sets of

Out of curiosity - the author never mentioned the most "successful" drug for depression the same way the mentioned naproxen. Did anyone catch what the name of the drug for depression treatment was?

I would be interested in hearing HN's take on the matter. I'd imagine the tolerance for bugs in a support application written by IT is higher than the tolerance for bugs in a mission critical defense application. (Not to belittle

Disagree here - you can insert things into a chronological timeline just fine - it's no more jarring than an algorithmic one. Nothing wrong with showing me, and clearly denoting, a tweet that I might like in between other tweets I brow

Intuitively, I disagree with the article, but for some reason I'm having a hard time articulating my concerns. You've definitely helped here (helped me) and my biggest problem is that analysis wasn't done on the type of rep

It's cool to think about how as humans we're actually running into situations where we have to consider the speed of light. Like, at some point we're really going to wish it were higher than it is. Amazing, can you imagine a
