It's a thing in north America. Any working day, there are lines for drive thru coffee. I am flabbergasted by this. You are wasting time and money waiting for something you could prepare yourself cheaper and faster.

I think of doing this myself. With that said, we've come full circle on this. One of the advantages of remote work is being able to live anywhere, yet you are essentially suggesting people live in very specific (albeit geographically l

Reuters is a fairly sane and neutral news outlet, but it is painfully obvious how the "Canada is shit" narrative is tied to and amplified by certain rising stars (well, one) in federal politics. Its now reaching Gabo-level surrea

Woah. Is there a demographic you would allow to voice their sage advices? Maybe 100-year-old, great-great-grandparents?

Are you familiar with https://5kids1condo.com/ ? I'm also from abroad and live in metro Vancouver, also have kids. Are you in Vancouver proper or the burbs? I'm pretty frustrated with walkability here, but Vancouve

Please look up the population of India, then re-read my comment, paying attention to one word in particular: proportion.

What? That's a ridiculous, patronizing, borderline racist comment. Most of the scammers in the video had thick accents, but if from that you conclude that scammers in general are "non western", that's at best a dumb conc

Never seen anyone classifiy personal cars as evil incarnate. Extremely damaging to humans, inefficient and full of negative externalities, yes. Alas this has nothing to do with the post.

During the pandemic, Canada had something similar, but subsidized by the government. For 2020 and 2021, if you worked remotely during part of the year because of the pandemic, you would get a tax credit. The value of the credit was either f

Yes. Read the other comments: people who work with ruby usually love it. In every HN ruby related post, there's always some post like "ruby is dead". I've been hearing that since I started my career 10 years ago.

It is mind-boggling how far behind the US is in taxes and retail banking. News like this always amaze me.

Are we talking about the same things? How does a latency of a few days affect the author in that scenario? It's books not hft. Should be fine to limit much further than 3 per day.

Although they have presence in other places, their main tech talent is most definitively from, and living in, Brazil, specifically São Paulo. Not sure why you would think otherwise. https://www.linkedin.com/company/nuba

There's probably some HN reader that already scooped up the hackeronesies.com domain and is currently making several thousand per month selling programming-themed baby clothing :)

No, quite the opposite. Technical discussions are fine, but more personal things are probably what the parent comment is going for. I can totally see an extrovert being annoyed and uncomfortable with the "realness" of conversation

I was about to comment that I read some time ago about a certain Islam sect strongly discouraged photos of people because of that. Is that your culture by any chance? I'd enjoy hearing about it again.

I was about to comment how funny it is that self reported salaries here are in the 100-200s, while on blind every post-adolescent twat straight out of college claims to make north of 350k. IMO HN posters are much smarter and more productive

Vastly, vastly different things. Throw everything in your home/office into a huge drawer and try finding that one tax receipt from 2012. Sounds fun? Now imagine tree-organized file cabinets. You look up the labels: Personal finance, ta

It's mildly amusing that this is happening basically as a consequence of capitalism and yet there is no shortage of Americans mocking the "slavish" Europeans that live in rent societies. Seems like the US is also turning into
