Like this and practically every other related discussion on HN right now, which was my point.

Actually, having been around long enough to watch the fall of the Berlin wall on TV and not only remember it, but understand its significance, the more I hear of this story, the more it seems exactly like business as usual.

Perhaps you should talk to a Canadian then. Very few businesses have accepted "stored in US" data since the patriot act. As for the people that didn't care before, this changes nothing, really.

If you think this is anything different from what has been happening over the last 30-40 years, (and probably longer than that) you are the one that is naive, not me. There is nothing new coming from this, other than the fact that people se

Hacker News has officially jumped the shark when not only do we have 300 stories about the same (political) topic on the front page, we have a top rated comment following Godwin's law. Can I get an email or something when this site dec

Keep in mind that a lot of this is why it's pretty shitty to work for a startup, as opposed to another smaller business. Examples: 1. Hire slow; fire fast. If you screw up, you're gone. So much for job security. 17. Hire smart and effecti

Which you can't fully do until you or someone else is offering it. Bullshit. Companies do this all the time. Hey ABCorp, it looks like filing is a major nightmare for you, would you be interested if in working with me to find a solution f

The company has already spent a not-insignificant amount of time (aka money) evaluating this person, and losing them over a (reasonable) salary increase would be foolish. Any company worth anything has an a, b, and c candidate (plus, ofte

This is the position of 99% of employers. Employers (as one would no doubt discover if you looked outside of the echo chamber) are as practical as they are selective. On the other hand, why would anyone want to work for a company that's no

No other offer? Unemployed for a year? It doesn't matter. Oh, but it most certainly does. It may not affect how you negotiate, but it will certainly affect overall outcome. By the time a company makes you an offer, they're emotionally

>You really don't need to have another job offer or a current job to negotiate. No, but if I know that you don't have another option, I'm not going to be as willing to give up more. A known secondary option puts pressure (sometimes,

I'm not so sure. I agree that there is massive demand for fossil fuels, and John and Jane Treehugger aren't going to change that. But then I look at someone that might change that - Elon Musk - and I'm not as convinced that our future is so

I'm not setting up umpteen different itunes accounts to try to give you my money. The whole point of paying for something is that I provide the money in exchange for the product. Why should I jump through hoops in addition to that? There ar

Season 3 isn't out on itunes in Canada at all yet. The only way for me to watch Season 3 is to subscribe to the $100/month + $20/month cable package that carries HBO. I've not bothered to pirate it, yet.

I don't actually disagree with you at all. What I would say is this: 85% of the time, things are done in a certain way for a reason; people have discovered through experience that a particular method is best. As someone "new" to a situation

Is this any different from how it used to be for previous generations? Yes, that is what we are trying to tell you. I'm 38. I remember scores and standings in my soccer leagues all the way back to when I first started playing at 7. I don'

My point is that if you want to become successful, you need to adapt to the reality that exists. The faster you learn this, the better.

No generation since the Depression has had to throw so many elbows and jump through as many hoops to carve out a livable career, As a Gen X-er, I can counter that specific argument, but as to your overall comment, perhaps I can explain: T

Everyone should "Take a non x out for coffee and ask them what they think x's do". I've had two/three different careers (dependent on definition) in my life, and each one of is immersed in its own echo chamber 99% of the time. This is one o

I'm actually surprised it took this long for someone to "take the money and run". It seemed like one of the major issues with kickstarter, and I'm surprised they don't seem to have given it much thought.

>Women could choose to get a child instead of working. This is a fallacy. A woman working is not going to "choose" this any more than you are going to go from being gainfully employed to sitting on your ass all day playing video games.
