PG's incentives aren't aligned with those of a single founder. He can spout that nonsense advice because he invests in hundreds of companies. So he can give advice that will lead to the majority of companies working ridiculous hou

You realize you can shrink your browser window width and increase the text size to make the layout how you want? For some reason there's always some highly-rated complaint on HN comments about the website layout, and I do not understan

Did you stop reading after those three sentences? Because I talked about digital assistants and Google Now, which is basically sending all your information to Google all the time.

> Hell, look at this very thread on HN. There are people further upthread essentially saying, "Whatever, I like it because it's convenient." Is that so ridiculous a concept? People routinely trade privacy for convenience.

What are you talking about? From the article, the "get going fast" picture displays the settings you're agreeing to when using the express settings. It's one page of content. And clicking on "customize" gives y

With that definition, you may as well count sleeping as work too if you dream about your job. It sure is easy to work 24x7 when you count everything you do as work!

I have. The officer was following me for awhile, and he claimed I started changing lanes to get off a highway before I turned my signal on, which probably had some truth to it. My tabs were about 6 months out of date (it just completely sli

It's certainly more intellectually fascinating than this tired criticism. Its being upvoted people find it interesting. There are many stories on the front page. If this doesn't interest you, read the next one.

Your mail server isn't real competition to Gmail. Yahoo and Outlook probably are, but considering Gmail handles their mail fine, I'm not sure "anti-competitive" is the right angle here.

That's a really good way of putting it. You have the right to walk away or to yell back, but you don't have the right to make them stop talking. That's a really important distinction.

Until those who don't recognise themselves as persons take offense to the obviously bigoted phrase "person hours." This whole argument reeks of fishing for things to be offended by. Any systematic problems women face in the t

This is the case for me. There's nothing nefarious about it. When the case was prominently in the media, "he" was Bradley Manning, and so that's what I think of when I see any headline just referring to her as Manning. I

I really detest the term "casual misogyny", as if everyone is living their lives just "casually" having this deep hatred for women. It so easily deflects any criticism or real discussion because well obviously they'

Well isn't that a convenient narrative? Any woman the community likes is despite the fact she's a woman. Anyone they dislike is because she's a woman. The outrage writes itself!

Maybe. I'm sure a large amount of redditors (maybe not majority) appreciate a well-run IAmA which manages bringing in celebrities and other big names. Pao's actions as CEO directly impacted their ability to do that.

That seems like a pretty silly argument. You can literally use it as an argument against any sort of change because "most people don't vote." In fact they do vote, not with upvotes and comments but with their views. Those vie

As a college student I had much better things to do with my time than try to sell 10 McNuggets for $1. I'd much rather eat the 10 and get on with my life than carry around an extra 10 nuggets to try and make a single buck.

Sorry, no. Technology is a two sided coin, mostly unable to be ethical or unethical. The people using technology, however, are surely able to fall somewhere in the spectrum. The OP is using this technology for (imo obviously) unethical re

I don't find myself quoting Harry Potter often, but there's a really good quote in Goblet of Fire: "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."
