Not disagreeing with you, but there are also leaders like Jobs, Gates, Ellison etc. How come they are able to get amazing results, while being really nasty to their people?

This is very evident in the styles people do interviews. For example, Bill O'Reilly is loud, calls names etc when his guests disagree with him - to the point that some of his conversations end up being loud shouting matches and the onl

I can't understand this bailout thing at all. If my job gets outsourced or if I get replaced by a computer/robot, do I get a "bailout"? Why is it that industries who were monopolies for so long, who had decades upon deca

Putting up with annoyances on the web is nothing compared to real life. Ever tried immigration? Unless one has lots of money (most people don't) and hire very experienced, super fancy lawyers (most people can't afford), it is one

Like the hiring/looking for jobs threads, may be this should be a monthly thread.

Do you think it applies to other fields too? For example, people who never try to do anything physically because they think they are just not "made for it" can achieve something decent, like running a marathon if they tried long e

Does it bother anyone that people who don't need to have unions (probably) have extraordinary powerful unions, and people who desperately need to have unions don't? It is kinda upside down

Lots of good advice here. I myself don't have any advice, but I'd like to pass one that I got from a ridiculously smart engineer few years ago. He told me to "learn something of everything and everything of something" -

It is also possible that the people who designed this genuinely believe that they are doing good. A thought process like this "imagine our country with super nice citizens - citizens who are respectful to elders, don't read bad

Even during brutal weather, the subway was active - it has never let me down. Sure it is crowded, you'll have to deal with rudeness etc. But the public transit here is comprehensive and reliable. Can't say the same about other big

Calculated risk - thank you for taking time to answer. Didn't mean to rain on your parade, was just genuinely curious :) Good luck with Corrello - it looks great.

How hard would it be for Trello to come up with their own dashboards feature? It seems risky to build a product like this, solely based on another product (that has a fantastic tech team behind it and can easily replicate this feature), no?

the two systems ultimately shared a conviction that control over the masses should lie in the hands of a small elite that should not be answerable to anyone Interesting to see the elite thinking along same lines across the world - whether

I am not sure these companies don't actually already know "open solutions have greater reach than closed solutions". They are run by extremely smart and capable people - but they are more concerned with pleasing the sharehold

Nobody is to blame because there is nothing to blame anyone for. Suppose I have a store card for a grocery store chain. If this grocery store sells my data to a health insurance company and the insurance company increases my premium based

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. This is a global problem and it needs to be addressed at global level. Assuming self driving cars (just one example) becomes a reality in at least western countries in the next decade, does any one

Isn't "forever" in this case "as long as one lives"? But then, it is possible to tarnish somebody's name and legacy even after their death.

I wonder the suffering that humanity has to go through before we reach a stage where we don't need jobs (assuming it is even possible to reach that stage). If we can replace human workers systematically, thoughtfully and steadily with

I don't think it is possible. It is not just the gov, it is also private and public companies. Forget snooping for a second - let us just consider the public data. Once it is out there, who knows how many organizations have it? And eve

Could boredom be a factor? Most programming jobs aren't very challenging, we just do the same thing over and over again with little variation.

But there is no incentive to stay straight and narrow. The laws are weak, penalties are small, all your competitors are doing it (so it becomes a competitive advantage), users are either ignorant or don't care, most of the lawmakers ha

Meat consumption is a hugely unpopular topic. Take just this HN thread for example. There is way more discussion on crops like almond, than on meat and dairy industries. Meat and dairy consume way more resources than any crop/food gr
