I think this is a necessary move on their part. And they obviously have the business and engineering talent to make a good product (it's better than their competition, I'll grant). But how much of their market share came because o

Unrelated maybe, but I find it highly ironic that the recent legalization of marijuana where I live coincides with my utter lack of enjoyment of it. I’ve tried enough products from the dispensaries and... whatever I loved about it in colleg

Where do you think the California unemployment filers came from? The SF company I worked at (public, $B revenues, familiar name) laid off all contractors one week into shelter in place, two days after their quarterly financials investor cal

Thanks for the links. Will dig in more. I'm looking to build a forum/discussion for a non-technical audience with some of the policies that HN has implemented well... community will be non-monetized, but it'll be connected to

Not practical in all circumstances. For instance, Really Big Enterprises don't always have consensus among teams on what tools to use, and so.. for war/peace rooms, collecting all the dashboards relevant for an operations event is

Companies in SF are still laying off staff. This money isn't going to bring those people their jobs back, for a while. So, no... the companies are safer for the near-term, but people who'd rather be working are going to be on unem

Anyone have recommendations on how to write a really structured book? I've been working on a text and I really want each section of chapters to be formatted identically, but also be editable, so that I can edit the chapter definitions,

My parents fled Hungary in '56 and landed in the US, on the west coast. I spent a lot of the last decade in Europe, and a lot of my free time in Hungary. Loved it, enjoyed it, thought a future me could retire there. The parallels betwe

Good list. Having done a lot of professional tech mentorship, and fitness/nutrition coaching, I can also say that a lot of people who've asked me for help make it into 1-3 items of a similar list I have, and back off, and then.. t
