Those bullet points mostly focus on scaling existing products, and seem more Ballmer-like than Nadella-like IMO.

I really don't understand how Four Hour Workweek doesn't get a ton of scorn, it's suggested approach is just so innately dishonest.

I LOVE Bryan Ropar's Plastic Chair World. I never thought I'd see it called out on hackernews!

Canada (and many other countries) has polymer bills

I'm totally with us ditching the penny, but I really wish we had a paper (plastic) $1. Any time you break a $5 bill you're left with a pocket full of change!

The youtube link doesn't work in Canada. Here's a mirror someone uploaded to Vimeo though https://vimeo.com/148751763

Non-complacency is totally different from "with us or against us" mentality. Like the Bush example, you can simultaneously stand in opposition to terror and extremism, and also be in opposition to the invasion of Iraq. You don&#x2

Those all make political decisions. Let's take the car dealership: What are your hiring practices? Are the cars foreign, or domestic? How do you incentivize your salesforce? How much (if any) insurance do you provide employees? How do

Of course, there's a million little compromises in any decision. That doesn't mean you can't draw a line in the sand.

There's obviously grey area, but a lot of comments in this thread come really close to the definition of complacency

by moolcool 6y ago
What about personal responsibility? It's possible to be realistic and principled at the same time. "Sure someone else will do it, but it damn well won't be me!". If nothing else it's applying friction to the process

> Can’t give up on the political process, that’s where the change happens Applying the brakes (voting) works better if you also stop applying the gas (providing services).

> If Github/Microsoft won’t serve ICE, someone else will I'm sorry but that's an incredibly spineless take. If people stopped having this kind of attitude, then there would be no "someone else".

Would that be such a problem? I use GitHub every day, but if they burn a bridge with the federal government it's no skin off my back.

I agree with you on one level-- I think people on HN are generally overly critical of projects like this which are clearly huge accomplishments and the culmination of tons of effort... But on the flip side, I think it's plenty valid

On a similar note, I think people were _way_ too early to celebrate the death of Flash (security issues aside of course). Developers were making content in 2000 which their contemporaries 20 years later don't come anywhere close to in

That's a good "problem" to have if you price and market it correctly
