Mao is a ridiculously fun game. I can't think of another that is as critically reliant on both playing the mechanics and your opponents.

Obviously the Twitter outrage was way out of line, but I'll lay out the thinking as a Mitski fan: Mitski releases Be The Cowboy, with the single "Nobody", and it's her real shot into the mainstream, and goes on to get Pi

The primary definition of delicate: fine in texture, quality, construction, etc.: a delicate lace collar. I read it as a compliment. If he had said "delicate ego" it'd be a different story.

I think people who build things, whether it's software or buildings or anything, are more likely to deeply grapple with the fact that nothing lasts. Ozymandias, and so on.

I recently was talking to a libertarian friend about this kind of thing (specifically the gender wage gap). He argued that if there were a group of people getting paid less for the same work, then any good business would only hire people li

Yep, I have a late 2013 pro, and plan on "upgrading" to the most specced out version of the last 2015 pre-touchbar model whenever this one dies.

I'm 24 years old, work in software. Neither I nor any of my friends uses a tablet for work or pleasure. I guess I know a couple of people who have Surface Pro's, but that's about it. I'm wondering if the appeal of these

I think the consequences of blackmail are inherent in it. All this is is getting in front of the story

If she really isn't in it for the money and wants to honor the building and area's working class history, she'd develop it into affordable/low income housing.

I find it frustrating that this environmental package is tied in with left economic proposals that republicans will have a much harder time with. although I personally support guaranteed jobs and single payer healthcare, I think the urgency

I've only worked in startup environments, but the office administrator just made life easier. She organized ordering catering, packages being sent and delivered, HR stuff, office errands. So not contributing to the product itself but e

My understanding is that Spandrell considers himself a "race realist." Please don't bring right-wing racist thought into HN.

>Apple lent me a high-end configuration for review Is this common, for a company to lend a product for review, instead of just giving it to the reviewer?

Just finished the first video. She's a great story teller and very engaging. I'm really delighted to have been made aware of this.

Right, and I think it's bad in the long run. If Twitch wants to become a bluechip brand, they're going to have to do a lot to make me at least sorta believe that they have my best interests in mind.

I recently registered as a user on Twitch, and was surprised by the amount of dark patterns there. It seems like every other action costs money, which isn't necessarily bad, but it makes me wary of clicking on anything because it seems

Is this a reasonable thing to ask of journalists? I can't imagine a reporter telling their editor, "Yes, this team tells us with confidence that their findings have confirmed a huge story, but I disagree with their interpretation

I'm so sorry for this loss. Matt spoke at UNC my freshman year, and his talk confirmed my itch to pursue computer science as a career. So Matt, thanks for the influence you've had on my life, and I owe thanks to Cindy, too.

I think that the popular idea of inherited or generational wealth is getting a fat 6 figure check when a grandparent dies, which doesn't really happen to most of us. Rather, it looks like what the author describes -- a safety net that

This has made me feel pretty damn powerless, as pretty much every site/person of significance has stated their opposition to such a repeal, and yet they went through it anyway. Just a gut feeling that our democracy isn't working p

I don't quite understand. Why would they do that instead of just raise money from more investors?

Bulletin seems great! I work in Soho and am always surprised to see empty shops. I do wonder if it's successful, if it will face the same criticism as Airbnb - it prices out long term tenants in favor of more lucrative short term ones
