Not sure why I click into comment threads on HN about tinnitus, hoping for positive news or anecdotes, but it’s almost always the opposite. So I’ll share my positive anecdote. I’ve dealt with it for over 10 years, and while I can’t imagine

It depends, though. Meetings are expensive, and often a waste of a number of people's time. And sometimes figuring out _who_ should be there is a problem (and cause also burn time). Having broader discussions in a Slack thread has the

Because time is finite, and if you want to experience other things -- or other board games -- it's hard to justify sinking this much time into a single experience. Maybe some are fine experiencing this one thing over many months/y

One consideration that I don’t see covered here much (among the many other considerations often mentioned) when discussing WFH vs. WFO is whether you live with others. I’m married and have two (teenage) children and have been working from h

I'd argue it's not so much about whether you're introverted or extroverted. In a place like this, it seems like you have plenty of opportunity to be around others, or be alone (though, the article makes it sound like sometime

> The only thing I can see is the quiet hours do start a little early; 11pm is more common than 10pm. If we lived there, my wife would appreciate 10pm vs. 11pm being quiet hours, as she's often in bed well before 11pm.

Most of the “not so young” people I know do not even have an Instagram account. Of my two teens, only one of them uses it (the other has zero interest). I’m trying to do my part in keeping my teens off social media. I’m about 50% successful

You really went out of your way, there, to cover any potential misinterpretation. Thanks for being a considerate part of the community!

As others have said, the people you describe don't leave companies. This is actually the opposite problem of what the article is covering: instead of companies not being able to keep good people, (some) companies are not able to get ri

Agreed. Kinda makes you wonder why other communities haven’t been able to reproduce the level of quality and civility (I know HN is still far from perfect, but night and day vs. other platforms). A great community to be a part of, and much

Are we looking at the same chart, or are you talking about some other data/country? That chart shows it spiking just days ago (~Dec 15) in SA, not on Thanksgiving. So it’s still too early to know the effect on deaths (though I still ag

I almost always prefer reading discussion of a topic from many people, vs. a monologue of one person’s opinion. That’s the way I almost always use HN, for better or worse.

I feel none of these, because I use Twitter as an RSS feed of companies/websites I’m interested in seeing updates from. I don’t post, and I don’t follow people. If anyone is feeling any of what the OP has felt, strongly encourage chang

Thanks for being empathetic. Not everyone is lucky enough to have empathetic interviewers, and it makes it a really tough experience for them.

It’s a bit ridiculous, really. I actually don’t feel the need to ban that many sites. I would probably be happy if I could just ban them. How can one site be so bad?

Sure, but as I said above, unless you're printing a lot of photos, you're better of sticking to photo printer services (online or in-store) for printing photos. Most people don't print enough photos to justify the pain of own

I got my first printer in high school, around 90-91. It was an HP laserjet printer, when they were first going mainstream. I loved it, it always printed well, and the toner seemed to last forever. Of course, it was B/W, but that was al
