The frustrating thing about this is that the entire concept of salary negotiations is one of the prime causes of unequal pay between genders. The entire culture of a company trying to offer you less than you're worth so that they can s

Sure, every community has pedants, but HN is supposed to be for news that relates to startups, technology, and web/software development. There are a ton of other sites and communities where articles like this belong - reddit, digg, etc

This article is definitely useful for the HN community. ... </sarcasm>

Screen readers do indeed have a feature that allows the users to browse just the headings. As others have mentioned, it's likely flagged as an accessibility issue since having an h4 follow an h2 indicates a broken document structure. I

This sounds like more of a case where the money awarded wasn't to compensate the plaintiff for any physical harm, but to punish the doctors. Which, to me, is just fine.

I think the take-home project can be successful, but not as most companies implement it. A basic rule of courtesy is that a company shouldn't ask the candidate to invest more time in the process than they are willing to invest. Most co

You know what can make your life really stressful? The inability to pay rent or afford clothes/food for your spouse and kids. Pay is hugely important in determining your quality of life. You can't just completely ignore the subjec

As others have said, it's basically substituting a big lie for a little lie. You basically told your boss that you're looking to leave in the immediate future. What Reid is talking about is more of a "some time in the possibl

I feel like most people realized the tweet was a joke. But a "HAHA isn't racism funny?" joke by a white person just isn't socially acceptable anymore. Personally, I'm in the camp where I believe that you should be a

Because, assumedly, there are co-workers you're leaving behind that you like/care about and you want to make their experience a bit better (if you can). It's very rare for a person to just be like "I hate all of you. I&#

Yeah, the article is a bit weird. It's looking at something VERY specific and not really the broader "are charter schools good?" argument. The idea behind the article is this: people claim that charter schools, known for bett

I had the same issue. I'm not sure if it was my internet connection or the stream, but I got a whole lot of "buffering". I eventually gave up on it, there will probably be a recording you can watch later.

For my personal story, I graduated high school in 2001 and wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do. I was good in Math and liked computers, so I was planning on going to a normal university and just finding something in those fields (I d

Very cool. The battery swap idea is nice (which is probably why Tesla switched to it recently), and they're right - it can be used for a lot more than just scooters (if they can convince other manufacturers to accept their batteries).

They did mention about using tactics to encourage better communication (with the visual feedback and such), which showed that those efforts led to better team performance; so, for me, that shows good communication creates a good team enviro

I was interested in this aspect as well. I'm a big believer in the ability for teams to work remotely and asynchronously at the same level of effectiveness as in-office teams; I wonder what the research would look like for those types

So, everyone's already pointed out that it's dumb to compare the amount of money you have now to the amount of money you had at the height of a bubble (where that money was unsustainable and over-inflated). One thing that's m

This comment does a great job at addressing many of the points brought up in the article. I'd like to add one more. There are certain base assumptions that we all make that need to be addressed - for example, the article compares the p

On one hand, I get where he's coming from. You'll get more people interested in something when you give them direct access to all the cool stuff first and none of the setup. This is how Khan Academy structured their Programming co

Well, this is a bit difficult because I'm not sure whether or not you're talking about maintaining your current standard of living or not. For example, I have enough in my savings account to maintain my current standard of living

There's a difference between what you CAN do and what you VALUE doing. Yes, people can put up with conditions they find undesirable, but they'll be unhappy and cause others working with them to be unhappy as well.

I'm not sure I agree with the "team fit" thing. I get his point - most people don't understand what team fit is or can't separate it from personal bias. But here's my counter-argument. Every company and team ha

So, the demo obviously blinks (at least on my monitor), and the first time I took a screen shot, I got the whole image (though I only got half the second time). So, it doesn't actually work all that well. But cool write-up, I guess.

Agreed. Having a pull request go to a feature branch (or bug branch, or whatever your pull request is aiming to do) is the best way to go about it. The issue described by the author is definitely more of a workflow problem than a technology

Rabble rabble rabble. The solution described is incorrect. Area charts and column charts are used to display different types of information. Area charts (and line charts, similarly) are used to display continuous data - data that must pass
