Are you seriously comparing smoking and bloodletting to a veggie burger? What sort of insanity is this Maybe HN has jumped ship and I need to simply move on.

I get this feeling from even some of the biggest conventions there are... cough I felt fairly fricken disenfranchised during a recent convention for a popular containerization solution...

Why don't you think that?

I think it goes even further than that. In my day to day use of my smartphone, even, an iPhone 7, I find the experience largely unpleasant. Even what is essentially just a touch screen computer connected to the internet seems to have all so

By the time it's done "improving" I will be making 150k a year and still won't be able to afford a house or to have children. Great! At some point we're going to have to admit that everything is simply getting wildl

Just another real symptom of a supposedly booming economy.

I think that's exactly what they're suggesting and it's totally absurd.

I disagree, which is why I posted what I did. You can commute in ways that don't add to congestion - which is what I did. In my employers case I was even able to work while commuting (via train) and remote work a couple of days a week.

Eh, that's kind of a stretch...also, there are usually multiple ways to approach a long commute (I don't have a long commute, but I have had one in the past).

Really well written article. It is hard to articulate what is so frustrating about the attitude of the far right, but it is captured here.

Is it really that difficult to identify what foods are garbage and what foods are not?

I rent in a neighborhood in Seattle that has homes that sell from anywhere between 700k to tens of millions, and a lot of houses that I'm looking at aren't selling. The market is so saturated with people trying to sell their homes

It's not so different when private entities control both the government and the media - in the case of conservative money controlling conservative propaganda arms such as Fox News and in turn conservative money also controlling congres

Isn't it incredible how much the smoking culture of America has shifted over time? If only the forces who put the anti-smoking effort into motion could come together and work towards making renewable energy, alternative commuting metho

It is incredibly strange. A few years ago, I lost an absolutely beloved dog(black lab) to cancer after owning her for only 4 years...she wasn't even 8 years old. The most powerful takeaway for me was that in spite of how little time I

Sshhh. Nobody move to Seattle. Its too expensive - you're looking for Austin or Minneapolis. ;)

Agreed. Also, this is the currently accepted formal way to present references - that is when they are requested.

This rings true for all of society. Who could have known there would be negative social implications to having an always-on, always-connected computer in your pocket?

If anyone wants Amazon to take over any sort of public space they should come experience the local vitriol towards all things Amazon here in Seattle. I was interviewing at AWS just last year and one of the interviewers(in a Virginia/re

I've always wondered what a tiling window manager provides over tmux. This isn't a rhetorical question, I've never used a tiling window manager. Anyway, a separate space with full-screened iterm2 + tmux on macos is my preferr

GP here...while I think it is a given that what I meant is that these would be free for all by leveraging taxation, I don't think we(average joe) really need to spend any more money to accomplish these things. Our politicians gladly po

I think about this a lot and weigh your line of reasoning heavily. My reasoning is that we(my family) would like my wife to be able to focus on raising children and only work if she wanted to...we could, in theory, afford to do this on my p

No, not really. But I understand that I, for the most part, have to participate in a system that I believe is fundamentally broken. There's almost nothing I learned during my 4 year college education that prepared me for any of my (tec

My wife and I are about 30. We still have ~50k in student loan debt. We make enough that her entire paycheck goes towards our student loans and we should have it paid off in a year and a half or so. However, we want to have children and we

I agree that we should be educating children on healthy device usage. However, having a computer in your pocket that is connected to the internet 24/7 is an entirely different beast than any other mode of entertainment.

I'm sure this thing we might some day invent will be impervious to corruption or manipulation by those with power, money, and leverage. /s

I have a coworker who hoarded quite a few when we were shutting down mainframes in an old dc way before my time. I often casually tell him that when he retires he had better give me one.
