Interesting, looks like they try to emulate Amazon. Wonder how their current culture compares to these new principles: 1. Make individuals responsible for making timely decisions 2. “Give product leaders visibility into their P&L” 3. Te

I read this advice as more from a perspective of the person who emails someone inbox-unorganized. So if person A is unorganized with their emails and I need or want something from them I'd better followup (for my own sake, to get the m

Thanks for the honesty. And Estonia had a cheaper gas when they were part of the USSR. Any actual freedoms they might or might not have back then are only _bs political slogans_.

I don’t know if like the spoiled grain analogy. If my stock portfolio was worth $1000 yesterday and is only $800 we don’t say the $200 was destroyed. I have the same number of stock. It may go down further, but it can also go up to say $110

Thanks, I wasn’t aware it is not a “global” convention and wasn’t sure what does the parent make fun of. One learns every day :) I will be more careful about this when writing centuries in English the next time. Also this poster on quora ha

I enjoyed reading The Verge by P. Wyman https://www.amazon.com/Verge-Reformation-Renaissance-Forty-Y... It describes changes that happened in war, mining, shipping, trade in (mostly western) Europe in the last decades of XV

Most (all?) restrictions where imposed by the governments. Can you give us more details or some example on that “total control” the European Commission actually exercised.

I think if the corporations/foreigners but to rent, this is OK--the house is on the rental market and doesn't sit empty. The problem arises if ppl park money in the real estate and the units are empty: - This is often "luxury

What I don't understand looking at the article is how > “signals” of potential fraud turned into 100k EUR fines. Shouldn't the "signal" only flag suspect transfers and start in-person investigation? Or did they just s

Have you tired to raise specific US abuses here on HN? What was the response?

Nice post, I like how it addresses only a chunk of the problem and walks the reader through it. What’s a bit unclear to me, is why do we need the Java version of the _types_ library. Looks like the humbleui already depends on clojure.

I’d say the opposite, there needs to be a delta between values and actual behavior. I want to be a good husband, dedicated employee, etc. Am I? I’d like to think more often than not. But we all err, and I value the transparency/courage

+1 as well. Not a lot of usage, but sometimes you want to add multiline notes (there’s a notes field, I know, every others field type can be added).

I honestly don’t know (I’m not US-based), but the article reads like both candidates are pro-bitcoin.

Thanks for the detailed posts. This can be useful for ppl considering applying there. I work for Elastic for the last 6y or so and I feel I’ve been lucky to have managers who cared (for customers, also for the team), provided actionable fee

I think historically HN was mostly immune to FUD. Hope this is still the case.

I’ve noticed this on Polish vs Czech roads (I’ve driven mostly in the mountains border regions of Czechia so this maybe local). Polish roads have gazillion of signs and usually you’ll see a lower speed limit sign just before the curve or a

On the other hand, code is often not the only output. Tickets, design docs, bug repros, emails, wikis, user docs, etc. Touch typing can remove one source of friction there.

Tell it to yahoo. Money is obviously a great help, and saving money aside is a great hedge against future risks (so you can call it a plan). I think that the OP had no “career” plan in mind. You can burn through all the money in the world i

Black tea applies to Europe as a whole as far as I can tell. Which parts of the world prefer green? Chinese and some Asian restaurants here (Poland) feature green tea quite prominently, but that’s the limit of my experience.

> It's not "waste", it's the people who are willing to spend the most money, which are presumably the people who want/need the thing most, so it's better than allocating the thing at random. It’s not a waste

Yeah, sure. I like desserts. I’ll eat a tasty looking one if presented with the opportunity. But it doesn’t mean I want my kitchen or living room filled with desert ads.
