Thing is, people aren't asking you (and people like you) to do anything, but simply to stop actively blocking things (like building new homes). You're getting the vitriol because you're simply sharing your views. You're

The HN crowd can be pretty critical (maybe harsh?). I'm warmed by all the people here taking the time to type out thoughtful and encouraging responses in an effort to help and comfort OP. Kudos to you all.

+1 to this. I don't know if it was depression for me but definitely been a period where I was in a rut. Everything seems to be going badly, relationships, romance, career. Because so many things needed "fixing", I didn't

The one potential silver lining is maybe now more people realize the ridiculousness of this all and the pendulum swings back the other way some how.

Have you tried waiting for the heat from a car to melt snow in a cold place on a regular car with a regular car sized windshield? On a cab like that it'll take hours.

Why does it matter what content is shown in China? Many countries have content requirements the US does not. Isn’t the important part what is shown in the US and if it’s manipulated or just responding to user demand like every other platfor

Tuned towards dumb content or just content people want to watch like on every other platform? Are we getting made at TikTok for giving what their users want?

Lots of countries have regulations on broadcasting. Percent of locally produced content, what age people can see what etc.

Do you have any example of an open forum that only removes illegal content and nothing else that isn't also a complete cesspool?

I think it depends on the product. If it's something that's fairly common and easy to grasp for the typical engineer then I agree. If it's something very domain specific (accounting, legal etc), then I think having a PM that

I don't think anyone ever claimed this represented the overall population. It's clearly the data set for OkCupid users, which may be a decent proxy for online dating users. Unless there is any reason to doubt the accuracy of the d

It’s the proportion of payment vs benefit. We intentionally have a set up where some people pay more into the system than they might get out of it. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. But then by the same token some people will be paying an “

I’m not arguing that I don’t derive value from my taxes. Like you said there are benefits from the next generation, social stability etc. Just that I don’t necessarily derive value proportional to the amount I pay.

In some cases it’s probably legitimately “unfair”. Me for example am probably at the more unfair end. I - have high income so pay a large % into taxes - not a citizen so don’t enjoy some of the benefits of military protection - wasn’t raise

Taxation is pooling resources and in this case some people will put in more or less than their “fair” share. If we account for every penny (some how) of how much everyone puts in and everyone gets out of their tax dollars it’s not going to

Not a disagreement, but only to point out bay area isn't just SF. Go south a bit and there isn't really a worry of getting car windows broken either and also plenty close to nature.

Software engineers at the other companies have similar base comp. It's the equity portion that's missing.

Also a pay raise when the market goes up. If we assume an average flat stock price, it's pretty much same as cash comp.

Doesn't meta have an obligation to product users that do want to use their product? This is like saying people should be free to pee wherever they want, if you're worried about the smell, don't walk there.

We've seen a form of this a lot recently too. Some patterns we've noticed, at least for those coming to us: - Name / ethnicity / accent don't add up. By itself these weren't necessarily direct red flags, but co

There is no difference between holding them for a year compared to selling when they vest and then buying another stock and holding that for a year.

If that's the case you should be able to build a non SaaS competitor and take their market share. In the end if SaaS is really bad for the end user, competition should take care of that should it not?

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying (in my opinion), there are other areas more worthy of investment that for whatever reason the populous aren't behind. How about we provide easier and cheaper access to educat
