I can't believe Jira is so popular, I've had to use it for 3 years and it's - to put it mildly - bad. Ok, actually it's a pile of shit. It's hard to count how many times we had problems with it on meetings, the UX i

I'm aware most people in tech don't care about their appearance, so I probably will get downovted, but I feel much better at work around nicely dressed people - just as I prefer to work in a cozy office rather than an old hole wit

I don't think so, there're a lot of videos from the streets and almost everyone is dressed well. Sure, as a man you didn't have much of a choice back then when it comes to clothes, but nevertheless everyone looked much better

Tesla has no other choice than to offer the best customer experience - otherwise they wouldn't stand a chance on the market as a new player. The question is how long will they keep it up?

by pkorzeniewski 11y ago
I wouldn't take the owner satisfaction ratings too seriously, people who buy Tesla cars are mostly rich enthusiasts of new technologies and will quietly deal with a lot of issues before starting to criticize the car. If someone doesn&#

What irritates me most with HN crowd is that there're several "sacred" topics that you either agree with, or you better shut up because you're clearly wrong and you'll be downvoted to hell. I understand that the vot

Just because there're new iterations of well known tech coming each year doesn't mean they're SO much better than the old one and worth the price - that's only what companies want you to believe. It's not in their b

I understand how difficult these tasks are to automate - I just wanted to point out how uneven technological progress is. We imagine a not-so-distant future where we have self-driving cars, advanced AI, trips to Mars etc. and yet tasks that

It's funny that on the one hand we'll soon have something as advanced as self-driving cars, and on the other we still need to iron our clothes, wipe off the dust and take garbage manually :)

In other words, starting a business isn't much different than it was in the past - capital and connections are essential. Sure, there're exceptions when someone with little money and hard work managed to grow their business, but t

It's hard, spending the precious hours of your short life on things other than what you're really passionate about Isn't this true for the vast majority? Most people take jobs not because they're passionate about them,

“Ellen has done a phenomenal job, especially in the last few months,” he said. What exactly "phenomenal" has she done? Reddit works pretty much the same as it worked several years ago, but in the meantime she managed to piss off

The main problem I find with these smaller email providers is the uncertainty of their future - they can easily disappear the next day, because they ran out of money or simply lost interest, and then you're f.cked. With Google, Yahoo!

I think your understood me wrong - if you hit a car with a car in city, there's a small chance anyone will get seriously hurt, but if you hit a bike with a car, you can kill someone and it doesn't matter if it's your fault or

Of course not all of them, motor users do much more stupid things on roads, but a) they need to pass an exam and actually know the traffic laws; b) they can loose a driving license and pay high fines; c) they pay insurence and d) even when

I don't know how cyclists behave in London, but what they're doing on roads in my city is absolutely horrifying - not stoping on red lights, going full speed through crosswalks, not signaling turning, driving on road when there&#x

How about an animal jumping in front of your car - a very common situation - when there's no way to avoid it. Computer could assume it's a human and do absolutely anything to avoid it, crashing into a tree and seriously injuring a

Aren't you afraid, given the SuperFish scandal, they also install some bullshit crapware on their consumer phones? Yeah, I know, most vendors do, but the SuperFish was a new level of bullshit and a high security threat.

Why there're so many abbrevations? Is there a technical reason for it or is it just a convention among pilots?

I live in Europe and I can't imagine not owning a car. My city has quite good public transportation, but the flexbility and independence of car wins all the time. Using bus+train it takes me 1h to get to work one way, while by car it t

I've stopped taking seriously any news about a healthy lifestyle, because it's ridiculous - one day you read that something is good for you, just to read the next day that it's actually bad for you. I'll trust my common

I'm planning to buy a new laptop in the near future and Lenovo definitiely goes out of the list. It's ridiculous where things are going in tech - everyone is trying to squeeze you like a lemon. Smart TVs that insert ads in your pr

Well, there're people like me, who simply like to drive and treat it as a way of relaxation.. I put my favourite music or an audiobook, set the perfect temperature, sit in a comfy seat, cut out from the outside noise and let my thought

It has come a long way, I remember when I first tried Inkscape several years ago and it was constantly crashing or freezing on Windows, but now - no problems at all, the UI is great and it has all the features you need for vector graphics.

I've been using async for quite long time now and it's absolutely sufficient - never had any problems, it has all the control flow types you'll need and in my opinion it's very readable. It's also the most mature am

I don't get it.. What's the point? How hard is opening a classic lock with a key? It's like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.. You can easily imagine things going wrong like unreliability, dead phone or abuse o

How about P2P connections, so nothing leave your company's internal network, because why should it? It's the most secure and reliable solution, but even running an IRC server on a local machine is so easy that you don't need
