This is the problem with modern America. Door to door sales used to be an honored tradition and a way for more Americans to get to know each other intimately. The rise of the internet has eroded this sacred social connection we used to all

> you can't really hire someone off the street to do it effectively. I disagree, I've been apart of a few companies that have done exactly this. I would suggest not presenting this argument as an absolutism.

I would love to be a part of something like this. Heck most of us would love to be a part of something like this, where we can watch a game without worrying if the people next to us are engaging in debaucherous behavior. I kind of envy thos

Is there any way to contact the webmaster for the site? It's important to let them know of any extraneous linking that may occur.

Agreed. I've missed multiple deaths in the family, important events with friends and sacrificed a large chunk of my life to be in one of the most happening tech ecosystems in the world. Even when I was eventually fired due to burn out,

It's fairly common, actually, to have completely optional hackathons. I guess it would depend on the social circles you hang around, or if you falsely believe that there is actually an "or else" consequence.

Because companies like to engage in censorship when opinions arise that go against what's popular. That's why HN is one of the best places to discuss, free speech is allowed wholly and there is no censorship or heavy-handed modera

Precisely. I once had a really good architect who could design resilient, scalable systems that had a large positive impact to the company. Want to know what the problem was? He had no git commits for the last 6 months, so when I ran git bl

I disagree. FIFA is free to stop hosting the world cup. It can't be that hard to move to another country - other countries have stadiums and regulations that suit whatever whims FIFA has at the moment. This is just the free market that

I don't know. To be sure, I like to consult jacooper before I attend any live events to make sure that everyone is happy, as jacooper is the authoritative voice.

If the Tesla in LA works fine and runs perfectly, the market will coalesce around that fact and accept it as a major player on the road, giving the pedestrian the necessary confidence they need to be safe around a Tesla. Again, these are br

A Tesla has to work for the driver, passengers, the others on the road, pedestrians, the road itself - these are new problems never encountered before that Elon is tackling head-on. If you consider every person on the world to be connected

It's far more likely that Elon consulted Twitter when they were having issues and just didn't take the credit. The distributed work of SpaceX and Tesla is far more important and hardened than what Twitter has achieved.

Great speech, explain this one: https://twitter.com/skilldrick/status/1592525923475390464 > My twitter account was protected at the time, so I can only assume this was for not showing 100% loyalty in slack. I’v

The security 'theater' is what we pay for a high level of freedom in the US, especially in conservative states. You may reach the end of the queue faster, but what if there's a bad guy with a gun there? Where will the good gu

The thing is that the US has much greater freedoms than Europe, after all, we did fight for them. It's every US citizens understanding that with greater freedoms come greater responsibilities to raise children to be future leaders. Thi

This is actually good. By reducing the market cap, it gives Musk more leverage to expand Twitter and shift it into the future plans for x.com, once again showing off his 6D chess skills.

As panick21_ mentioned, I don't understand what's so hard about this. Those people should move away from aliases (which are not used in a real town square in any format) and instead change to their real name. You see this all the

As someone who disables JavaScript while browsing, I find it disappointing that you are encouraging more developers to build web apps rather than a native experience.

That's awesome to hear! Our family does something similar - we have a line of portraits above our family photos of the various CEOs that have hired us throughout the years - namely coal and oil company owners.

Why is this shocking? Smoke is, unfortunately, fairly common in some areas, especially during seasons where there may be fires. A weather widget that doesn't have that as an option would be fairly negligent, as it's relevant to th
