This is one of my big things. I'm pretty into biking, so I go on longer rides during the weekends, but biking 5 miles each way between Mountain View and Palo Alto every day (for 50 miles total a week) can't be discounted.

If the implication here is that Sam Altman and OP are pompous enough to think we care what they think about the state of the Tech economy, then wouldn't the same logic apply to the authors who write "the Tech bubble is bursting! T

Are they more pompous or less pompous than the articles that show up every so often claiming that Tech is a bubble that's about to pop any moment now?

I am not an accountant, this is not tax advice. You're usually correct, except for two things (in the US): 1) Holding stock for a year before selling is taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rate (~20% vs ~39.6% at the highest bra

Some coworkers and I were looking at the photo on the same screen and had differing opinions at the time.

The people who are to blame are not the landlords that are merely reacting to market conditions, but the NIMBYs who refuse to let any development occur in the city or anywhere on the peninsula.

Mine failed literally the day after the AppleCare expired and thankfully the guy let me get it repaired as if it were under AppleCare. My understanding is that the store managers actually get a fair amount of leeway on this. Were that not t

I think the UI actually works for HN in the same way it worked for reddit back in the day. A very minimalistic interface lets the content be king and scares away people who aren't interested enough in the content itself. The one thing

Yeah, this is more apt, since Twitch doesn't directly run any major tournaments that I know of (although they do often sponsor some).

The first is the executive summary of the official study. The second appears to be additional views added by individual senators on the committee. The third is a rebuttal from the Republicans on the committee.

I'm making a lot of assumptions here, as I'm not an expert on solar panels (took a class that touched on them once, but I'm mostly just Googling here): * Typical efficiency of a consumer solar panel to day is about 12% * Aver

I'm in my twenties and I do that all the time, though perhaps that's just anxiety more than wisdom.

I'll start of with something I think we agree on: I don't think this article belongs on HN. The woman and her PSA have nothing to do with Tech / Software / Hackers and it is a little bit too generic interest for the site

Slightly OT: I installed SwiftKey (currently the top option under iOS on this website), and I really like the concept (would at least like to try it out, even though I've developed a pretty good proficiency with two-thumb typing), but

I had exactly the same experience, except with the e-mail influx happening in high school because I went to a boarding school, and with the same end condition (50/50 e-mail vs Facebook). EDIT: And of course after I submit the comment

All of these exact same points (including a very similar title) have been floating around my head as an idea for an article I wanted to write. I was so pleased to find that you had basically written my article for me. Very well said on all

I don't think Facebook is looking to optimize for those sorts of articles being shared on people's news feeds. It's far less likely that "short article with niche piece of information on specific case" will garner a

One could make the argument that it's taking money from productive entities who would put it into R&D or future production and giving it to non-productive entities who will just use the money to sit on the patents and potentially s

You're completely right: artists who make mixes and use samples should probably do it above-board and follow all applicable copyright laws. However, the problems are three-fold: 1) Lack of information. It looks like the new automated p

Sure. My point is, I would have saved much more days because "what if I wanted to take a week in August before my days roll over?" Maybe that's just my personality type.

I dislike seeing this sentiment all over HN just because it isn't as absolutely true as everyone wants to believe. I work for a company with unlimited vacation, and in my first 10 months working there will have taken ~3-3.5 weeks of va

A small pop could indicate that the private-ness (and thus illiquidity) of the shares were priced in before.

It could be so that the ISP can't claim "if you had peered with us, we wouldn't be so congested" or some other BS.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure that a judge would never rule that there was possibility of confusion between all of these products on Zazzle and Pi Corporation. I think the real issue here is that Zazzle needs to exercise more discretion on

If the shareholders are willing to take the risk of the company they own acquiring other companies (don't acquisitions require board and/or shareholder approval?) then who is to say what that money "should" do?

As a large company that serves millions of users in many of their most sensitive online endeavors, is it more responsible to throw your hands up and hope that many of the hundreds of telcos out there will fix their own security, or implemen
