This looks like a site that someone in a foreign country who was trying to pretend to be amazon would make to trick people. Did they fire all of their designers or something?

I didn't realize someone slipped acid into my coffee this morning. This was a book of nightmares. Something about the drawings was a bit unsettling, especially the person at the end.

I saw the TLD and thought to myself, "What a silly thing to end your url with. This better be one badass website". Then I opened the page and saw that gif, and they totally redeemed themselves! Very mesmerizing.

Are you applying to places where english is the primary language spoken? If so, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism: While your post is definitely readable, the errors in it clearly show you as a non-fluent/native speake

It seems like there's a limit of $47k, at which point it doesn't apply. Most developers would probably be making well above that.

Out of curiosity - was the pain fixed when you woke back up? Because brief, intense pain like that is one thing, but experiencing pain all day, everyday is a very different beast. Even if it's a tenth of the pain that you felt, that ki

This is one of my favorite games of the last few years. It's similar to Telltale's walking dead in that it's an interactive, story based game, with an interesting mechanic thrown in that helps make this more unique than other

I think people will look back on this game as important, as something special. I've been playing video games for over twenty years, and I can't remember the last time something felt quite as exciting as this. Each time I've g

It's not. I recommend watching the documentary Fed Up on Netflix, it help explains how we got to this state.

You're probably not the kind of people they're trying to prevent coming there. You're right though, I'm sure people will totally forget that the UK exists now.

1.3 million more people voted to leave. It's funny - if the vote had gone to remain, you wouldn't be complaining about the "slim majority" that voted for them to stay.

What do you do? If you have front end skills, find businesses in your area that don't have a website or have a crappy one. Reach out with your portfolio and examples of other businesses you've helped and either make them a site, o

I'm always blown away out how little cell phone manufacturers seem to listen to customer feedback. I don't care about my phone being paper thin. I'd guess most people don't either. Often I'm sitting at work with my

Most people don't care enough about seeing the stars. They would rather feel safe in their neighborhoods if they need to go out at night, and street lights do a good job of providing that feeling.

This is the best thread I've seen in a while - it will be really helpful if I decide to get back on the market. Working remotely full time instead of just the occasional day or two seems ideal for me. Somewhat related, but reading that

Props for actually posting salary ranges in the posting.

Speaking in terms of the USA here. Garbage. An almost complete waste of time and energy. For grades K-12 a lot of it is just babysitting, to give kids a place to be and keep them out of trouble while their parents are at work. I value my pr

This is a dangerous path to go down. Much better to allow anyone to post anything they like that's not illegal. If you don't like it, unfriend/unfollow/block them. Why is this bad? Because hate speech is not clearly defi

Clicking any of the pieces gives me the WordPress "Error establishing a database connection" error. Not sure if it's just the hacker news hug of death, but it would be worth taking a look and seeing if your hosting is having

I would agree that family structure plays a huge part. Kids are expensive and take a lot of energy. As much as we as a society celebrate single moms, it's a tough gig to work full time and raise your kids alone. I don't think anyo

This is awesome - congrats on your success and saving. This is pretty what my financial strategy is. In another comment you said you first bought stocks in 1993 - were those the VOO or did you play around with buying individual ones for a w

To be fair - most people don't care about learning things they don't need or think they'll benefit from. Should these kids learn english? Of course, it's the most important language to know for international business and

Haha it certainly was. I noticed that too. Even worse a part of me totally wanted to deck my virtual pet out in a top hat as well.

The implication you'd have to pay to not have your wallpaper be made of ads is by far the most depressing part of this video. Reminds me of this episode of Black Mirror ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Millio

The little shopping cart dog in this video reminds me how much I hate "gamification" in everyday products and services. It's rarely something that enhances your experience, and is there simply to separate you from your hard e

Hey - thank you for posting all of this. While I have an eye for design, I'm not a UX or web designer so I don't usually have a ton of specific feedback other than knowing something doesn't look as good as other sites I work

I enjoyed the article, and checked out your site: http://www.cogeian.com/ Here's some free, hopefully constructive advice. Your site does not look professional. It looks like something I'd expect a welding company

Yes, we have them. If you're good with money, debit cards are a waste for the most part. You can get credit cards that pay you at least 1-1.5% for every purchase. They're basically paying you to spend your money. If you're ba
