That’s the first argument I thought of, but people make plans based on the weather forecast too.

I'm trying hard to find a flaw in this argument but I can't. Good point.

Yep, just ignore half the things on the list.

As someone who lived in South Bay for 5 years, I'd hardly call it a "desirable area".

I don't know if anyone is researching this, but couldn't we manufacture stupidly large floating reflective tarps and start deploying them anywhere sea ice is melting? Seems like this would be a high benefit for relatively low cost

Absolutely. They could have been US investors and had the same issues.

Their personalities and expectations were toxic. They didn't understand what they invested in and were pissed when we couldn't grow a high-touch business like a pure software business. No pleasant or helpful interactions, just rag

Good. We raised Series A from Chinese investors a few years ago and they were toxic. Not to mention the political implications of enriching countries like China and Saudi Arabia. In hindsight would have rather closed up shop than taken thei

You analyzed Bitcoin on its technologies and merits and concluded that it’s a useful currency? Yikes.

This is so close to my experience it’s amazing. I’ve found that disconnecting from any technology for 2 hours straight on any given day (harder than it should be) will 100% of the time make me feel much better. I think that it relates to th

Absolutely. Heroku Postgres is a marvel and I use it for all my projects. If DO isn't even competing on price, then I don't know what they are competing on.

Wow, I thought this was gonna be cheaper than Heroku Postgres by a lot, but really it’s only slightly cheaper in terms of CPU/mem, and actually more expensive in terms of storage. Would love to see someone benchmark the two offerings f

Wow, this is making me realize how much power Apple holds as the arbiter of enterprise certs. They hold more power to quickly punish other corporations than even the government does, in a certain respect. I hope they continue to leverage th

Sweet. I appreciate Discord. It’s like a much less bloated, simpler version of Slack that still has all the features basic communities need.

Good. I hope they fail. This is an insanely wasteful business model, and any claims they make about sustainability are ancillary at best.

The new CEO is the former President of Product Development at Oracle...I wanna puke. Oracle has some of the most hated products in the industry. I hope he's able to adapt to Google's style and not the other way around.

Hmm, I can't watch the video. "We are experiencing problems with our servers. Please try again later." EDIT: Was able to watch it. This looks like a bug more than anything.

I never said that anywhere was any better. I'd like to think Hacker News is a place where fewer people would be fooled, because this is a place specifically for critical thought and discussion. YouTube is not. It's a website that

If you think that being smart and vigilant is enough to protect yourself from this type of manipulation, I think you're wrong. I find it very easy to fall for social proof in internet comments, and I've been in the tech industry f
