What’s the hacker news angle on this article? I was happy to discuss it on other sites this morning, but it seems like a purely political article without any unique appeal to Hackers.

I think most users would agree that HN hosts a variety of perspectives and is not a monoculture on most issues, including this one.

I believe most of the major (and some of the minor) newspapers offer a SecureDrop instance to transfer confidential information. So I would send the entirety of the information to every newsroom that could receive it, then pray that I: A) w

Is this a bit? It's not clear to me that free software is any more essential to a free society than libraries are. Which is to say, it's a clear public good but that's not a compelling reason to position it as a requirement f

I’m not the grandparent commenter, but my total compensation this year is roughly the same, so I thought I’d chime in with my savings: $28.6k - 401k contributions & match $112k - RSUs after tax $14k - Monthly emergency fund contribution

You'd also have to go by a pseudonym or a perspective partner might google you and ruin the whole charade. At that point your behavior is fairly duplicitous, which is hardly a solid foundation for one of the most meaningful relationshi

We don't have any indication that the OP took any form of flight to get to the coral. There is not enough detail within that post to shame them for their carbon footprint, and such ire would be better directed at the ~100 companies tha

edit: and for the record, I'm one of those "new grads" making a self-admittedly absurd amount of money for what honestly amounts to a relatively meaningless contribution to society. Yea, I take the salary (and try to donate

I see. I saw somewhere else in the thread that you yourself are a new grad, so I'll chalk this up to lack of experience but on sufficiently large products it is trivial to make incremental changes that will produce more value then your

22 and 23 year olds making $200k+ a year? For doing what, exactly? Contributing 0.001% of the codebase to an app that sells advertisements? It may not have been your intent, but your comment has (at least on my read) an accusatory tone. Y

These salaries don't come from thin air, they're constrained by the market rate at which engineers can be hired and retained. It's unfairly reductive to say that the engineers aren't contributing value since they work in

I love this question. The information density and longevity of old forums is hard to replicate on Reddit, Discord, or Facebook groups. I’ve been spending a lot of time over at https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/index.php

This isn't representative of my personal experience nor my peer/friend groups' in tech. Anecdata: of the ~5 senior engineer friends I have at large tech companies only one of them consistently works much more than 35 hours a

It's a shame when the crowd noise overwhelms the system at Shiru. I've found that the sweet spot for dropping in to be around 2pm Sunday. Happy bartenders, quiet patrons, good music.

You’ve gotten some pretty solid advice already, and echoing other comments it’s not a dumb question at all. From a software perspective I’d also recommend Ableton, it strikes a fantastic balance between providing an intuitive workspace and

Here's another anecdote to help satiate your curiosity: I'm a 27 year old software developer, lifelong nerd and all around hacker, and I love FaceTime to the point where it's inclusion in the iPhone is a defining feature of m

Memphis Meats is one company I'm aware of that's working to commercialize cell cultured meats. I haven't really checked up on them since their demo day, but a cursory glance suggests that they seem to be going strong.

I'm not trying to muddy the waters on this issue or take a consequentialist perspective, but how is this materially different from someone rejecting oxygen? The moral response seems to be to intervene rather than let someone commit sui

Can you expand on this? I'm interpreting this to mean that in some countries opsec dictates that you eat at a different place every night? Why?

Perhaps the show is more of a hit with soviet geeks than Chernobyl geeks. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail in set dressing and by the costume department. This individual does a much better job articulating the period accu

We do see the explosion in episode 5, and in my opinion it's one of the low points of the limited series. IMO the generic CGI animation you feared is exactly how it comes across.

It's very possible that the parent commenter did just that. I know it's true in my case, as a CMU grad a plurality of my college friends moved to SF right after college. It was a new city for most of us, and nearly a decade later

I'm not sure when you last checked, but you can add songs either next in the queue or at the end of the queue when shuffling songs. I've just tested this on iOS 12.2. While you can't swipe to queue, you can force-touch on a s

Is this sarcasm? I don’t understand the reason for this comment, would you mind expanding on it?
