Naive perspective: Is it possible that this language prevents YC from being blocked by the Great Firewall? I'm not sure I'd advocate it, but I see the potential argument: It's better to let users see YC's independent dec

Oh man, Lync. The re-skin of MSN Messenger that nobody wanted. I remember when I couldn't change my status from "Away" for some reason. On my computer it would always show me as "Online," but to everyone else I had

The website claims it's a monetization method for projects: https://www.outpan.com/developers Not trying to be overly cynical, but I don't know how true that is. It's still possible this was lifted without th

I do but, silly thought first, would there be any legal liability in doing so? It's such a sensitive political subject, I can't help but wonder if a third party app that fails to report outages properly could get in trouble.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. >we work closely How closely? What do you do? >We don't charge candidates for this service. So you're a recruiting company that targets layoffs? Why would I use a service like this ove

I understand your sentiment but to clarify, that is indeed ignoring the bad behavior. It's placation, even if temporary. And it's polite. There's nothing wrong with keeping these thoughts to yourself. With rare exception, it

Even at the size they are, that's still enough people to make a scene -- Enough to bubble upward and ask for a disciplinary decision, I'd think.

I've paused to really think about this -- I think you may be taking the show very literally when it's not meant to be taken that seriously. It does often have that surface-level message: Good people will always prevail, evil is

Anecdata: Not true. Most people aren't even aware of recent events. My circle of friends is a pretty wide net and only one coworker knows about the Boeing nonsense, and he admitted it was because of Hacker News.

There's a disconnect in your understanding. While these cameras do catch blatant red light runners, they also trigger tickets for safe, benign, and legal behavior. It penalizes the human experience way too much and it's caused ove

That's an oversight on my part, excellent point. Thanks for pointing it out.

Its simplicity is an important part of the offering. Bash is perfect when you need predictable executions. When you use Bash, you benefit from an entire ecosystem that also uses it. That same ecosystem is not motivated to drastically change

I am, but I definitely agree many people don't consider privacy in that choice.

It would consume more electricity, though let's assume by a marginal amount. I suspect many people are uncomfortable holding a compromised device like that. The unpredictability of a toaster helping to take down Wikipedia is wild and p

I don't see why you'd come up with something that so misaligns the interests of everyone except Comcast :) We don't need to be priced by the bandwidth, we just need better accessibility to metering. Something my mother could

That first quote doesn't have any citation. I guarantee this disappointment was never expressed by any large group of investors. It's a headline-worthy story itself. "Investor X doesn't want you to be safe, just wants yo

Anecdata, sample size one: High school classes in the US tend to teach the abstracted surface level topic but rarely delve into the why's and how's. In geography, we would learn what's on the map, not how the map was created

I find this to be the perception of: 1. New engineers, and it's certainly valid. The net pros and cons of your abilities are equivalent to those coming straight out of college. You must set yourself apart from the competition by puttin

Could I ask you some more questions about day-to-day Google over email? It's wonderful to hear about.

I had an on-site with Google last year and didn't quite make it in. Since then I've noticed HN has an aggressively negative opinion on Google's general affairs, and most of it makes sense on the surface. It almost feels like

Is it an official new policy? Having a hard time finding any solid information about it.

If the purpose is education, I feel emails or some other direct notification would be far more helpful. It's not like we usually go to an app's Play store page after installation, save reviewing.

I find it socially acceptable. It's quite normal to jump from one tech company to another, and wearing a t-shirt from a previous employer is an artifact of that lifestyle. My hot take: I've always interpreted it as "street cr

Fascinating. I totally fell for the drama and didn't realize it. Thanks for posting that link. A good reminder to be critical about what you hear.

Absolutely not. If it were anyone's decision it should be the mother's, and I even find that questionable. Autism isn't inherently bad, it's just different. There's no duty beyond screenings and providing the knowle

I forget the name of the company but four years ago, I was offered an interview at a taxi company to help make an app for hailing rides. The job was in SF but they operated all over the US.
