I'd like to see tests between that dog, and a person, or a group of people. Having images generally will help with conversion rates, but what kind of images would produce a better result? And for what kind of services?

This. A manager should be able to provide the team with a unified vision, but allow the team members to be creative and flexible. A manager should be (or try their best to be) unbiased, respectful, and acknowledge the accomplishments of his

This is similar to stealing Hotmail accounts. All you needed was information like the name of the person, the IP, a few contacts on the contact list, (maybe) type a convincing message about being hacked, and voila! Somehow Microsoft assumes

Reading this post makes me wonder if I have Asperger's...it pretty much described me to a tee. Extremely uncomfortable in crowds/parties (actually, I pretty much refuse to attend parties at all), always looking at something else when speaki

I grew up with a mother who heavily emphasized respect and courtesy. Thank you for doing the same with your children, it often feels like this world is very lacking nowadays.

This really hits home. I had a few emails back and forth with the co-founder/CTO of a fairly successful startup that tried to recruit me back in January. We had a short Skype session, he basically "strung me along", vaguely brought up a hom

There is definitely a lot of talent in Vancouver, though many of the people I know have their eyes set on SV/the U.S. Investors here are very hesitant to open up their wallet (much like areas like Australia). Some big companies have develop

It's really disgusting that there is a huge amount of teenagers who are capable of racking up sentences of 10+ years like these, while adults who commit rape, arson, etc end up with the same sentence. Sure we see a few cases like this every

My employer for my current day job (~70k employees) pretty much says this in their 17 page contract. It was a big warning sign for me when considering the offer, but I know that many other major corporations do this. As a result, I have to

Loved this post. I've noticed many of the characteristics Randall described about his "old" self, and in the past few months I have made it a goal for myself to be less negative, and make a conscious effort to notice when I am being very ne

Small typo: over 30 flights in the past year. Updated my post. I thought it would be obvious from it taking forever to place me in a seat, but there weren't any empty seats in sight, at least in that section. I will definitely keep that in

If I seemed offensive and "a dick" in my post, that was certainly not my intention. However, one's poor writing does not necessarily translate directly to real life. I was calm and polite throughout the trip, but the experience was definite

Oh I should have clarified. I definitely did not complain about the couple. It wasn't their fault, and it wasn't United's fault. I did complain however, about their service. I did use the flight attendant button, forgot to include that. But

From my limited understanding, it's not the best idea for companies who want to keep their costs to a minimum. There are employees who are being underpaid and don't have many metrics to look at if they want a higher salary (win for the comp

I don't have much to comment on this, as I myself am an introvert and somewhat of a shut-in. But after reading up to "I guess I'm kinda different.", I couldn't stand it and had to use Developer Tools to change the background color and font

Just an issue I have regarding the first question you asked in that post: "Which one of these two calculators feature a skeuomorphic design?" The answer you present is both, but in that case, the question is misleading and prompts a respons

The point you present is interesting. What also interests me is that the links on your HN profile seem to be Wordpress (built on PHP) related.

You've clearly missed the point. In an ideal world there would be no discrimination. My post was not even about how the system is biased against men, it was about how bias against men also exists. It is extremely difficult to achieve a perf

Yes, diversity is important. However, if you are too focused on hiring female engineers, you can bring the overall quality of the team down. Now I do not mean female engineers are any less competent compared to male engineers, but I will gi

Nice job. I created something extremely similar a few months back for my day job (wow the traffic I missed out on!). One thing I've encountered in this and in my own implementation: the hint gets blocked by iframe if it's nearby. Has anyone

You provided the links to those websites, and added that you're not sure how to proceed. From your post, I get the impression that you have not yet spoken to those companies about it. That would be a good start.

I had more or less the same experience doing freelance work early on. Clients who judge you based on your age, instead of the value you provide to their business. Clients who are uncomfortable taking suggestions from a 20 year old, and ins
