There's a funny novelty to this that you can't deny and the user experience does make it super fast to get a pizza. I'm not sure I see myself using it outside of an office joke but why not make a little profit from those who

It’s not perfect but we get access to lots that an American would go out of pocket for. The poor never even have a chance.

I do agree with the criticisms of this article but also agree with the parts about assessing your candidates better and understanding their motivations. I did an interview once where they tried to jump to technical interview on the first ph

It's a concern I have about deflationary currencies in general. It's not very common in the world right now so you could argue I'm speculating too, really. You are talking about the singularity being the point that we switch

My concern is that you ignore the effects of deflation in your argument altogether, which you simply cannot do. You are also effectively demoting the US dollar to the current inferior currency of the two to support your little adage, which

Yes. Thank you. I honestly feel like it is a solution seeking a problem. Not to say it isn't solving any problems already, but I think it's still seeking a big enough problem that the general public starts paying attention and b

Yes. I posted my thoughts in another comment > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15184382 Honestly, I'm kind of scared/surprised more people aren't talking about this.

exactly that sort of thing DOES happen though - particularly with goods that have planned obsolescence cycles annually, so I'm not sure it's even a good comparison in the first place TBH Think of it more from a general level and o

This is certainly true. All foreign currencies are not alike in their viability, but this does not address the long term concern of the cryptocurrency itself and its inflationary/deflationary direction.

thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this article doesn't properly understand the intricacies of inflation/deflation in an economy

I think there's a critical discussion about inflation vs deflation missing from this article. Inflation is bad, but so is deflation because it encourages saving your money which, in turn, hurts liquidity in the marketplace (i.e. the am

Overall quite subjective. You're not going to 'win' the interview every time. Sometimes the cards are practically stacked against you. You get asked a question no one had actually tested beforehand, you get an interviewer who

I think ObjC has left us with some dynamic habits we don't actually always need, particularly in all non-UI layers. I appreciate the way using Swift has me questioning just how much dynamism and mutability my programs really need. Over

Ugh, the thought of scouring through commits with messages like "fixed", "oops", "done" is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. What I read is a LACK of thought process, when you can't squash and justif

Have you ever tried following a change in a repo that came from an unsquashed PR? It's hell. What's truly meaningful IMO is a git log that reads like a product change log

I like this Moon analogy you've made. I'm sure it's a broad stroke but still serves as a simple and effective answer to the question. Thanks.

I'm curious to understand the significance of finding the largest known prime numbers. It seems that some people get pretty excited but I'm not sure if it's just purely academic or there's some useful applications I&#x27

So have you ever managed to get a TN or H1B Visa opportunity in the US? Everything I hear sounds so anecdotal it's hard to get a grip on what matters. Hopefully the more applied years helps too (I have 6). Still, it sounds like getting

In your experience, how necessary is it for Canadians and Mexicans applying for a TN Visa, to be accepted for Software Engineer or Computer Systems Analyst jobs without a degree in computer science or engineering? For example, I have a B.Co

Well it might change the way taxation and government spending work if there was a steadier flow from people after they died. If the government has more money to put towards everyone's ability to live a healthy and happy life then I cal

I agree - dynasties are a huge problem. I always find it ironic too how much tax there is on capital gains, but how little there is when estate is transferred after someone passes away. One was earned and the was inherited. If we forced pe

This is a perfect response because it exemplifies the importance of relevance in what excites you. If you don't play MC already or have no friends/family interested in the game, then a project like this would seem quite boring.

From personal experience with Soylent 2.0, it's more nutritious and filling than other replacements/supplements I've tried. The product seems to place some importance on properly replacing a meal, not just being a vitamin bla

The writer seemed to be suggesting the censorship could be temporary, and lifted after no longer fresh and less likely to be retweeted. Also, though probably not true in your case, it sounds like actively following the account means these

This looks pretty sweet! (On a sidenote, I'm trying to figure out whether making the documentation look like daringfireball.net was intentional or not.)

Say crappy things about a brand online and I promise it won`t go in the marketing engine. What positive things are you saying publicly about a brand with hashtags that you also are trying to protect from being reused? Honestly though, I don

No kidding. I don't use a hashtag or even mention a brand name online without understanding the consequences.
