I disagree with the notion that good quality content just doesn't exist anymore. Quality content will always exist and more quality content exists now on the internet than ever before now that it's become more accessible to more p

This is such a Hacker News comment. It's just a crud app - why do they need more than 10 employees?

Notoriously anti-FB publication keeps writing doomsday articles in hopes of them becoming true. Technology users who don't make up core users self-assured that their noble refrainment reflects broader sentiment.

For me it's the element rules. Being able to hide every post that contains "____ liked this" on LinkedIn/FB actually makes them tolerable.

Yep. Cereals, fruit juices, mainstream coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin, etc.), yogurt, baked goods... It's insane to me that society in the US has been conditioned to consume literally hundreds of grams of sugar for breakfast. If you need ca

Google must be an awesome place to work as an engineer because apparently you just generally don't have to worry about deprecating your products/services or interacting with your customers. Amazon is notorious for their oncall and

I'm surprised at how many people in this thread are misunderstanding this. Every tech company I've seen has had a stipulation saying you have to pay back signing bonus or relocation if you leave within 1 year.

I also don't appreciate it when comments are detached from their parents without a note from the moderators. I've had a few comments taken completely out of context because they were detached from their parent into their own top-l

FWIW, this wasn't my experience at all, but also there may be differences between the US and Europe. I went to a unremarkable top 50 state school in the US, graduated with a 3.0 GPA BS in CS, had a single internship at a no-name local

Are there 3rd world sweatshops that pay $16 USD/hour and provide benefits? I'd wager there are a few more differences than just the robots.

Likely placebo. Vitamin D is extremely soluble in our bodies and takes months of consistent supplement dosage to have an effect on our baseline levels.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Now I'm sad I missed out on this! Admittedly, what I like about Spotify is how easy it is to share music with other people and discover music from my friends just by looking at their profiles or what they&#x27

Many companies build/execute code on cloud desktops.

Google has a notoriously slow hiring process. For new grads and internships, the time between initial coding assessment to final hiring confirmation is often several months.

A few months ago I had the option to sign up for two gyms: One right by my house for $15 a month, another much farther away for $120 a month. I decided to go with the more expensive gym, not because any of the facilities were better, but be

Downvoting isn't the problem - it's spam flagging. There's no better tool for suppressing ideas and viewpoints you disagree with than flagging it. Only on HN can a story occupy #1 on the front page due to overwhelming upvotes

Simply put, in America the military is a cult/religion, and almost anything done in the name of "national security" can be excused. Look no further than the Navy SEALs that had their charges dropped for war crimes - as long a
