It depends on what you mean by retire and your family circumstances. If you are single, ok cutting your expenses and live very frugally, then you need very little money to make a living. If you are not single, check with your partner :). Ki

I just got started into wildlife photography and this video has been a great starting point for me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9YBeNBoKVw It is long, but goes into a lot of details on what makes a photograph look goo

Shia-Sunni, Turkey-Greek, Catholic-Reformation are a few that come to mind. Take a look at Middle East and you would see long standing polarization.. Anti-semitism is also another long standing polarization. Slavery was abolished, but you s

Philosophy, history, reading, foundations of science, ethics, learning how to be around other people.. What makes math so important? Most people can get by without it, if they only know how to count money.

For me, the following statement stood out - The committee asserted that any missteps Watson had made were rookie CEO errors, and that she “engaged in a conscientious…process to maximize value for the Company’s stockholders.”. I think there

How does the developer know if a failing case is due to a bug or something that needs to be changed? Is the new developer being dropped in with no support and no peer review and asked to make a non-trivial change? If so, then tests are not

Sometimes (actually a lot of times), immigrants move for a better quality of life (more pay, better schools, more job opportunities) and not for culture and cuisine. If I am moving for culture, why move to USA? Europe would be much better.

Isn't this the reason people put in enormous amount of hours in their startup? The idea that more labor equals more success seems to be built into our culture. The same idea is reflected in the argument that poor people stay poor becau

I have done the transition both ways a few times. Like everything else, it depends on the company, team and your managers. The best part and the worst part of being a manager is that you are responsible for your team members - their well-be

Great job FTC/Lima. We need it and you delivered. On a separate note. Why is it really hard for HN community to make a compliment? Yes, some companies will try to skirt around. But most of us seem to agree this is a step in the right d

Nice.. They are the big mothers in the online world - they own all our data and can give us timeouts or even disown us.

It is interesting to see that the same high level problems still exist. Nvidia optimus still does not work, network cards are a hit and miss (though much better than 2011), desktop software has ways to go (looking at you, Adobe) and poor po

If you always standup for the team you lead, then where is the moral principles and honesty? My (fill in the blanks) is always right means you have no integrity. Integrity is having a set of moral principles and evaluating against them hone

There is a massive gap in productivity between someone who has been in the company for at least an year and someone who just joined, esp. right out of college. For the latter, WFH is probably the worst option. There is no easy way to ask qu

This is all great, but I hope the oct batch ships now. Just waiting for it to show up is driving me crazy :)

Is this your assumption or you are doing this to your kids? My kids had remote schools, but they also went and met with their friends (albeit a smaller group than usual). Most of the parents took enough precaution and given the age group, w

Of course.. By that means, everything is a prison because there are restrictions. A joke about type of building is not the same as kids broken and domesticated or tyranny. At the least, these supporting comments make me think that HN groupt

Is this hyperbole or a serious statement? Kids broken and domesticated? tyranny normal and natural? What tyranny? What domesticated kids? You are living in a weird world where everything would be a slippery slope, if you truly believe this.

Let us assume person x already got covid? The rationale for refusing the vaccine is either (a) they believe they do not need it or (b) they do so on ideological belief. If it is (a), evidence shows that covid + vaccine is better than either

I just ordered a DIY kit from them yesterday. One of the really big factor for me would be a decent battery life. Can I suggest the framework team to also post a base power config for Linux?

I recently started on my photography journey and is just starting with darktable. My biggest challenge is around multiple modules with apparently very similar functionality. It has been very hard to figure out what should I do to get to the

The federal rate is progressive and not on the entire income. 37% applies only on the taxable income above $518K. Why is this misrepresentation?

I have been thinking about CR.. Does Spanish become a requirement for daily life? I am sure I can pick up a smattering of any language as long as I live there.. but I do want to get through the first few months :) Edit: One other thing - Ho

This study talks about reinfection for vaccinated patients and not about reinfection of unvaccinated patients. This does not seem to contradict the parent comment.
