I'm not quite sure what is new about any of this? Being practiced in several parts of India for decades if not longer.

That actually does make sense, negative signalling is powerful, there are many blaming silicon valley for all sorts of problems in society (AI killing jobs, rents in the bay area rising etc) and it would be easy to then take the views of a

"self-respect" is a bit misplaced here. None of the countries you named were ruled or for that matter created by a colonial ruler with another language. India in its current form never existed, its like the EU, there are several s

1) Why do you think Google needs EU funding for their research ? Last I checked they had one of the largest cash reserves outside the US - which means a lot of it is in the EU, if anything this is a way to smartly spend that cash rather tha

"8:2 implies the difference between them isn't so large. (If someone only beat me 8:2, I'd expect a professional to beat them 10:0.)" Not sure I follow the logic here. They're both professionals, and one was much b

how would you have phrased it?

the intern group is a joke at best. getting rich kids to pay for internships to make their CVs look more international. There isnt any innovation or disruption or even value creation involved. I'm not sure its something SUP Chile needs

I think you're mixing up what YouTube does and what Wikipedia does..

try looking for internships in Europe, they're a lot better at getting foreigners in as Interns. Germany especially, and since you have experience there before it may not be a bad idea. There are several good startups in Berlin looking

my best guess, is that it has (very unfortunately) to do with Visas :/

just had a look at your site. Why would I use this over a simple IFTTT alert?

I think each one has their own mileage - I was just refuting the parent's claim that you "should" do x or y - I think if you've considered it for a while and think you can stick through it - there's no harm in tryin

I got kind of out of the practice after a few months post the 10-day workshop (life), and this is really encouraging me to get back into it. "The end of the ball of yarn" - really hits the nail on the head. I feel like there'

Has Vipassana helped you further?

by kamakazizuru 12y ago
Don't see why this should be the case. I got into MM through a similar Vipassana Course and there couldn't have been a better start for me. Only meditating in this style for 10 days did a few things for me that 20-30 minutes a da

Thanks - while a lot of the other advice on this thread is helpful in terms of being a better team lead in general - I think the stuff you mentioned is really what I can apply almost immediately - especially the last bit about makign thing

Right, well it's one thing when posting on HN - I'm not really running a spelling and grammar check. That said - my complaints are not around their writing style. Many of them are non-native speakers and I can live with bad gramma

this is great - I love coding in Python and would definitely use this in the future. Currently we're doing everything in Node.JS though - do you know of any tools for that ? We do use Jslint etc - but landscape certainly seems to go

The logic of "spend time now because otherwise you'll spend 10x later" - really resonates with me. I guess I need to see it as an investment rather than a waste of time - that really turns the entire thing around quite a bit!

You're very right about the coders bit - I guess it was more an issue of framing it. I've corrected it now. I do bring the issues up - but usually end up being really frustrated because I assume that these things should be obvious

Ask HN: How do I get my team to write better code?

you seem to have fundamentally misunderstood how shorting shares works.

the reference to dark data is interesting - I didn't know there was still so much data out there that hadn't been digitized! This kind of stuff would be great for a kickstarter campaign though..

no sure why this is getting downvoted? It's right off of their website's fineprint... There was a time when an attempt to be helpful comment like this stayed at 0 in the worst case..

the difference is knowing a statistic and generalizing it to each and every citizen of a country. Especially the "lazy" part - that has even been proven to be completely untrue if you look at hours worked etc.

intra european nationalism is alive and kicking. Just ask Germans what they think of "lazy" spanish, "corrupt" italians etc.. but it is moving in a better direction - also thanks to programs like the Erasmus exchange.
