a large part of construction is now entirely machine based. how much strength does it take to drive a dump truck? or operate a crane? or drive a bulldozer? the answer is that it is the same amount as driving an every day car: almost none. I

everyone has access to quality goods and services at historically cheap prices, so purchasing decisions are based more on "want" than "need."

Yeah, this article sounds like a poorly written plug for the authors book (he provides a link about halfway through the article). He is using the controversy around the election as an excuse to write an ad for his book disguised as an artic

I'm not sure exactly why you're being downvoted, but I'm willing to bet its because you are WAY underbidding the job market for the skills you've listed. The average salary for skilled tech workers in the united states f

Yes, it's how ctr works. Alternate theory: hacker news has developed a culture where people actually know the real person behind the usernames, (think of patio or sama) so users that are afraid of being associated with wiki leaks creat

I consider the unedited content of Trump's speeches to be pretty good evidence of his intent to make america great again.

Very often, the first thing we do is help hard tech founders find a small project within their larger idea that fits the model of quick iteration and requires a relatively small amount of capital. Tesla is my favorite example of how powe

Good. Whether you think milo is a dangerous troll, the leader of a movement, or something in between, Twitter needs to comply with whatever laws they are subject to.

I agree. I work from home, but also rent an office downtown because the value of actually getting dressed, leaving my house, and interacting with people is worth more than the monthly rent.

To be fair to the person you are responding too, he is right: your totalitarian censorship was the primary reason I did not apply to Y combinator with my startup and refuse to comment on new threads, except on special circumstances such as

just like I refuse to pay covers at bars, I refuse to pay surge pricing. Uber is my go to app, but if they are doing surge pricing than I switch to ihail (an Uber clone run by a taxi company). if they ate busy, than I use lyft as a last re

reading all of these comments reminds me, welcomingly, that most commentators on HN don't know shit: they are just really good at sounding like they know what they are talking about. interestingly this is only ever apparent when a topi

the problem is that you are only looking at the surface level, and thats why it doesn't make sense to you. bombing a shitty dessert country doesn't provide any single large benefit, but it does provide many smaller benefits that a

ok, that makes a bit more sense. thanks for explaining. you also mentioned higher wages for those that are working due to a reduction in available labor supply. wouldn't the higher labor costs for employers off set any productivity gai

by ryanx435 11y ago
all of the problems you just described can be solved by simply firing a bad employee or not hiring bad ones in the first place. I'm still not following why paying them to do nothing is necessary.
