Most museum art pieces were consumer items for the rich. How many Old Master paintings are the Louvre or the Met are NOT commission paintings for a wealthy aristocrat or church?

A lot of CS degrees are easier than you think. Tons of cheating + disinterested professors = grads who can't code.

It boggles my mind that outside my small social bubble, people around my age (23) spend their whole weekends drunk. I'm not out to stop them and I accept their choices, but I wonder if it's also a result of our alcohol culture. Mo

It's way worse if you were European. Did you know that the first OFFICIAL release of Chrono Trigger in Europe was the 2009 DS remake?

NY is tough for a junior. You have a lot of bootcamps, universities, people who want to live there, etc. looking for the same jobs as you. Try opening your geographical preferences.

In low income households, particularly immigrant ones, the grandma or aunt becomes a fulltime nanny when the grandchildren are born. I don't know what people who don't have this kind of help do.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm about ten years away from having kids (if I had full control over my future!), so I have a lot to learn. I'd just rather be close to my children than a long subway/car ride away.

We use this at work for talking to customers and it works fine, but note that they use Twilio under the hood IIRC. Also their SPA app is what you'd expect from JavaScript apps—buggy and prone to slowness once it reaches a certain scale

I turn it off when I get into my elevator because if not it'll be in a 1x limbo state for about five minutes, even once I am completely out of the building.

Immigrants in general, but especially Asian ones, do not want to pay the fees required to accept cards. Most people in their communities are fine with it.

Whenever I am ready to have children, I'm going remote. It's far from a perfect solution, but at least I'm close to my children.

I think the fruit thing isn't "secret", but my friend's families do a lot community-wide legal and financial gymnastics to pay as little tax as possible.

Anecdotal, but I've been buying cheap fruits and veggies from Chinese markets for years and I've never gotten sick once. They taste the same. I'm no food expert, though. The only negatives are that the markets are not pleasan

No, it's just one of those things that us popular among HNers, like blogging or being on Twitter all day. Of my team only me has ever attended a conference.

The amount of secret networks and deals Chinese/Chinese Americans pull off is astounding. I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm mostly impressed (I live near Brooklyn's Chinatown).

Your reddit comments may have solutions to problems others have now. Don't delete them. Here's the thing: No one cares what you posted nine years ago. Unless it was overly offensive and you became famous enough to get people to sn

Yep, this has been a thing since the early 2000s, if not 90s.

The problem is that a lot of LaTeX zealots and fanboys tell you to use it as soon as you mention Word/Pages/Google Docs/etc. This can confuse beginners and the public in general as to what LaTeX is for.

If you're going to make claims like these that will raise a few eyebrows, please give some details and reasons why you think Oracle is awesome. Otherwise, your comment is fairly useless.

Agreed. I use my girlfriend's iPad for watching stuff in bed/couch. It is way comfier than a laptop, but I can't really use it for writing anything longer than a Google search.

What? Being a computer nerd doesn't mean I know everything about everything?!

Yeah, there's way worse things that can happen in the subway than staring at a picture with text.

Minimalism might be trendy but I have to say, I love the look of a home library. Of course, that doesn't mean I horde books :-)

I work at a startup and leave after eight hours. They're not all bad.

I live more than comfortable with 100K in NYC. Sure, no kids, but money is not something I think about. It's enough for a 23 year old like me.

With new-ish languages like these, the best thing to do is make your own job :-)

Unfortunately, you just described most of the tech blog posts posted on HN/elsewhere. It's a very big problem :-(

This is the same industry that calls people in their late 20s "senior".
