I'm surprised that you say that you have 10 years of professional experience if you were actually having this conversation with a company. Get another job. The interviews are part of the process. This is tough love: Suck it up. Ther

Is this speculation? The way that this and the parent comment read, it sounds like you have information that I’m not finding on the website.

I’ve found this to be profoundly true. I’m embarrassed by the number of times I’ve been taught by a dream what I fail to express in words.

I don't mean this to sound rude, but I don't know the answer: Are you a software developer? Being forced to depend on service revenue rather than the appeal of an integrated platform means that the quality of the integrated plat

I agree completely. Having a walled garden forces Apple to focus on the quality of their software if they wish to have a competitive product. (And their software, on the whole, is good because they have control over their vertical integ

My assumption is that if you are ideologically opposed to private vehicular transportation, then you see this as a good incentive not to own a car. I think things like this are a funny marriage of utopian and tyrannical daydreams.

> people who love money will not stop until they are stopped. Define “stopped” in this context. Never mind that the author incessantly links to himself.. What suggestions does he offer? We’re on the road to serfdom. Great. Cool. Wh

Hatred is a badge of honor for an artist. You’ve created something that stirs the passions. Would you prefer indifference? If you care so much about the opinions expressed by your audience, then maybe take a step back and look at the coll

You answered your own question, I believe. Art produced for massive audiences typically requires a massive investment, so it’s produced with the same concerns as other massive investments. Arthouse films still exist, but you know, there doe

I worked for OCLC for about five years, so I have a lot of sympathy for the pains that archivists go through when trying to standardize content metadata. Can't be that hard of a problem to solve, right? I mean, we're only talki

I can appreciate that you have a different view from mine, but I am feeling like you didn't quite understand what I wrote. That's okay. Your judgement is totally valid, and I hope that as your view evolves, you continue to publi

I truly appreciate your recognition of the problem and your sincere attempt at rectifying some of the behaviors that every generation is struggling with right now. I'd like to share some of my own personal experiences with the hope th

Sure, it's real. Real electricity; cause and effect of pressing our fingers down and moving these tiny invisible machines. I would love to express the emotion that I feel when I read the term "meatspace," but for all the mac

As I was reading, I thought the article was about to answer this. I guess I have to add “No One is Prepared” to my mental clickbait filter now.

It might have been better to say, “In the article, they say that this is a microbe that already exists in the wild.” Your words make you sound rude, though you may not have meant to be.

Sure, it's unlikely given what we know about energy, but consider it a thought experiment about the propagation of externalities. What other seemingly inconsequential machinations create systemic ripple effects? What forest are we mis

Well, it was definitely a hypothetical. Ultimately, this is a judgment call. I appreciate this discussion though! Thank you. I am interested though to hear what marines would say about the recruits that come in having played video games

Thank you for following the Principle of Charity, (maybe better than I did.) Of course you can find good-old-fashioned amateur porn out there. It might even be useful! But, as you said, in a vacuum: It's now your mental model. Bob a

Can you give us some examples of programmers of "epic" repute that are women or people of color? (Or both?) I'd like to be able to bring them up when I find myself reading something that doesn't include them.

This feels less like a "Show HN" and more like an advertisement.
