It's tempting to think in terms of right and wrong, or whether or not -- to simplify decisions for the sake of moving forward. The question is not whether to fire, but how to manage this person, whether present or former employee/

Let me try to take the bait in all its seriousness, for potential YC companies. This article creates heat and smoke but not much illumination - motivation without direction. Irony here is both the epitaph and murderer of citizen education

If the FBI and CIA found the real cause, they could have released all the evidence. Having a valid cause of action (due to new evidence) means you can ask them to release all the evidence now (or at least let the attorneys see it). Remember

Actually, what you're suggesting is that even if it is broken, it's too costly to fix. Then you should ask: costly compared to what? If we fixed it, then innumerable generations after us would not have to deal with the problem. T

I appreciate the write-up representing the flow of discussion, not just the outcome, for the insight it carries about how decisions move through the group. It appears Linus has said it is happening, and a bit how it should happen, but h

Naively, training the same model on multiple languages has interesting implications. On one hand, it may capture something "deeper" about language. On the other hand, it's likely to do great in general, but miss particulariti

As you suggest, journals are a critical area for society. Since we're on HN, we get to take off our technical hat and put on our product hat -- not the fit-to-customer product, but disrupt-the-industry product. What are the incentive s

What's wrong with opening your own practice? Investors can only invest in scalable, replicable businesses. Veterinary practices are intensely personal, often specialize in different species and breeds, and can develop unique experimen

Countersteering as a concept is also use in flying (i.e., not just single-track vehicles on the ground). It's always required to stop a turn, and may be required to maintain a constant (steep) turn, depending on the plane geometry. Bu

The article's perspective is that the superiority of senior engineers lies mainly in the access they have to other people. I.e., they're not better, and it's not because of their experience; it's because of their positi
