This isn't about code ownership, this is about micro-management: a manager that likes to know and control who works on what, because god forbid programmers might do something Wrong(TM) or Inefficient(TM). Collective code ownership doesn't e

Language is a doable barrier to overcome, and so is harmonizing various regions on a regulation level. Remember that in Europe those cultural differences exist within countries and have for centuries. Hell, Brussels itself symbolize that.

To be fair, radio doesn't completely replace sales of singles and albums the way Pandora and Spotify do. You can't compare on-demand services to radio.

It's worrying how this keeps getting upvoted despite having been debunked before it even hit HN, and the top comments on both HN and the original post pointing to the article that debunks it. This is one scenario in which HN could really us

So you create a graph that maps all music distribution methods until, say, 1999, and then you ignore everything else that happened except iTunes, and blame iTunes. Sure. Remove iTunes from the graph, and what you'll see is a big gaping hole

Limited use? As someone who over the past decade regularly had to sell higher management on investing in infrastructure, I can tell you this will be extremely useful. Seriously, even if it's just a random visualization of some normal peek t

All I could think of was "this is what a DDoS attack will look like in Hollywood products for the next decade". Awesome visualization.

Can you bring that PC into an ad-hoc meeting with a few of your co-workers? I'm not talking a Meeting(TM), just sitting together to figure some stuff out, maybe put some things up on the beamer, present your work, share your knowledge? This

You've managed to prove my point in four words and a URL. Congrats. Edit : Just to be clear, I belong to the part of the population you can convince of nuclear energy, at least as an intermediate solution. But not this way.

by onemorepassword 13y ago
I was with you up until the nuclear part. I don't know about the US, but most resistance in Europe is not "prejudice" about plant safety, but educated concerns about waste and waste-storage safety. As long as the pro-nuclear crowd circumven

The more I hear about Uber, the more it seems to be a tea-party style paranoid right-wing anti big evil government organization instead of a disruptive start-up. This kind of thing might fly in the US, but in most of Western Europe we take

I still couldn't truthfully answer most of the "improved" questions with anything other than "it depends" or "none of the above", because they still make too many assumptions about people's behavior and choices that simply don't match the d

I think you'll find that HN, and our profession in general, has a disproportionate amount of people with a strong tendency to take things very literally and overlook the intended humor. Especially when it comes to matters they take very ser

It works both ways, the other problem with "take as much as you want" is that it makes it more difficult to call people on not taking enough time off. You may not think you need a vacation, but others may feel your work is getting sloppier

by onemorepassword 13y ago
I have to disagree with that premise. Our two founders are around 4 days per week, usually go home around five and tend to take long vacations. The rest of us have to be encouraged to take our vacation days. There's a culture of everyone ta

Lazy thinking. Although deadlines should be avoided as much as possible and should be viewed realistically (shit happens), lots of things that depend upon the shipped product need to be planned well ahead of time, and can't easily be change

Now on the one hand, we do mail-ins as well whenever someone can't make it to the stand-up, especially since any team member can work from home whenever they like. Plus our starting time is loosely defined as "let's all try to be there arou

This is exactly what happened in the Netherlands. Net neutrality wasn't particularly high up on the political agenda until the country's largest telco arrogantly announced their traffic filtering plans and started a public shitstorm. Politi

You must have not been paying attention. A long list of evidence has been posted here on HN on several occassionas, including dropping CalDAV, of Google turning against the open web. It's nothing new either, it has been going on for years.

I would say you're being to kind. MLM-believers are willing to exploit friends and family for profit. That goes well beyond just being a "credulous sucker".

Fines would make the DMCA the exclusive weapon of major corporations with big piles of money for legal stuff. Oh, wait... The biggest issue with the DMCA is that it exists. There's no way of mitigating the basic concept of putting exercisin

Most of this article, except the cafeteria anecdote, isn't about Jobs, or about megalomaniac CEO's in general. It's about utter failure of middle management, and how they can totally fuck both sides of the company. The lesson here is not "d

I get the sarcasm, but I have to say it genuinely does piss me off if people consider hatred against gays or atheists to somehow be less offensive than racism or antisemitism. The only real difference is the historical body count.

Whatever happened to Upcoming as a concept? It took quite a while for Lanyrd to fill the gap for tech conference goers, but that's basically just "us". I just wonder why this turned out not to be a viable service. I would think there would

I'm not surprised at all. I see a clear trend, on HN and elsewhere, of technologically clued-in people who simply do not share what we wrongfully assumed were common values amongst techies. This includes the notion that services should be p
