It's crazy to me how long it takes Amazon to notify users that there is even an issue. I think it took 15 minutes for them to acknowledge an issue, thats a lot of time for our services.

I’m proposing that cuts like this are unnecessary for companies this flush with cash. It’s an excuse to cut staff with some reason to point to for doing so.

To put employees through this when meta and Google have billions in cash is disgusting.

I was labeled "Gifted" as a child. I was in accelerated programs from 4th-12th grade and then went to a state university after. One thing I noticed when I was in college is just how smart the general public is compared to the peop

I've definitely noticed huge cleaning fees on Airbnb increasingly often over the years. I think the solution here is removing the "cleaning fee" entirely and just including that fee in the stated price that you end up seeing

AI generated content is only as successful as the content it generates. If you were to read some content that's useful to you, does it matter the source? If the content generated by this platform is just "spam", then wouldn&#

I don’t discount the feasibility of co-ops, but to say they require no management is simply untrue.

by willio58 4y ago
Most of the time? Nothing. Which is fine if you don’t mind putting in more effort for the same pay as someone in your co-op, but at that point why are you in a co-op?

Anytime I land on w3schools, I go back to google and click on the MDN link. This was a learned behavior that I don't even question now. Has w3schools gotten any better over the years? Would anyone consider using this or any package fro

This would take a lot of management though.. What happens if someone is contributing a lot less than the others? Or a lot more?

Appearances are soo important in jobs, much more than quality of work. This is why fully remote jobs are so great, people are on a more even playing ground.

I’ve hired developers who ended up lacking experience in something that they claimed they had experience in, but they hunkered down and quickly learned the technology. That’s fine. honestly, I’d say that if you don’t slightly exaggerate exp

I’m all for probation periods. I think this is where the industry should go. Before I got hired at my current job, I think I went through around 20 hours of total interviews at several companies. I got to the final round three times for thr

I am one of those people that have less than $57,000 in Wealthfront. I just checked and I paid $.11 in August for advisory fees. I wonder when it becomes worth it to pay someone $500 like you mentioned, if I’m only paying a couple dollars p

The thing is, if you search for something enough you will end up learning it. It's a natural way to learn things. This is how people become software engineers these days. They _constantly_ look stuff up, watch videos, and learn by doin

Really sad end for Heroku. They never could find a balance between the free tiers they offered and their overly-expensive paid tiers. Now they're entering purgatory before they are ultimately shut down for good. They had the markings o

Love this in concept, but life turns out to be complicated over the long term. It's easy to say it's "our" money when you both agree on the same goals and life trajectory, but people have a propensity for change. In 10 y

I get this, but it's also antithetical to hackernews to post something and not be able to comment. It's as if job postings should stay in https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs and never show on the front page.

These days browsers make sure there's user interaction before audio plays. The other website you linked requires a click to start the timer, therefore meeting that requirement. If Google made this timer muted by default, and you had to

Kinda gross we have to pay people who have so much money that they own houses they don’t even live in, to convince them to rent.

It’s not blowing 20 million if it results in meaningful progress in this area. We have something like 2700 billionaires on this planet. This isn’t even a drop in the bucket for someone like that interested in furthering this research. AGI c

I would say the benefit of hooks and function based components is simplicity and ease-of-creation. Less boilerplate, less chance to mess up the life cycle of a component, especially for the vast majority of components that end up being pret

You can get away with a lack of understanding about these things and still create beautiful products. For an example just look at Josh’s website. Beautiful react and design execution without knowing these details about rerendering.

The studies in the article say people in their 30s give up on new music. This is understandable, and has always been the case. This doesn't just happen with music but culture in general. As we age we become less easily malleable in o
