I'm apparently a week late, but great googly moogly - KEEP! PLEASE! It's not perfect (on Android, the nesting is non-existent and the +1 arrows are a little small), but it is head and shoulders above what it used to be. I can re

What's the legal definition of 'duel'? Is it any kind of fisticuffs? Pistols at dawn? How do martial arts schools operate, then? Is 'half-strength' sparring allowed? Full-strength?

Oh, he'll just call the cops to do his dirty work, don'cha know! The modern man doesn't believe in the 9+ minute response time of the 'average' police department, and would never deign to live in an area where the

Fascinating premise, utterly buried behind a paywall. Tried a different browser, tried 'Private Mode', nothing. Please update with a non-paywalled link.

FWIW, violent overthrow of other people is normal human behavior, as is violent (ideally armed) resistance to same. It may be distasteful to a sunflower with such delicate sensibilities, but that doesn't make it go away. As for my s

To co-opt and mimic is completely normal human behavior that cuts across all cultures, nations, sub-groups, etc. The article even acknowledges this right up front, "It’s a truth only selectively acknowledged that all cultures are mong

And when the men turn to social techniques that are proven to increase their sexual market value (aka 'Game'), they get excoriated in the public sphere as 'creeps', 'weirdos', etc. Then we get snarky articles

FTFA: "The reality is that few organizations have figured out how to innovate, adapt, and create amazing things without burning their people out." This may be an incredibly naive question, but why not implement a 2-3 day work-week

The anti-Microsoft culture that was earned in the late 1990s and early 2000s has too much inertia on HN to overcome by occasional articles. FTFY

I would never work for a company like this, for any reason. I'd change careers (i.e., flip frozen cow parts for a living) before submitting to something like this. What a horrible product, and a horrible CxO for implementing/all

I don't even have to read the article to know I agree. Every time I've actually hit 'send' on an angry email, or 'post' in a thread, I get a temporary burst of self-righteousness, and... crushing regret the ne

Dude, I can hear your uptalking in your every other sentence. Questionmarks are for questions, not emphasis.

c'mon now, they aren't even about to fix the simple 'comment layout on mobile' problem. You really think they're going to go through the trouble of adding a whole new ranking system? :-)

I come from the sysadmin side of things, and the best career advice I get is from LOPSA - www.lopsa.org. I've been a proper member since, oh, 2008 or so, but I've hung out on their IRC channel and attended their meetings well bef
