   For reasons the above commenter has already mentioned. Most founder either want to run a profitable business or make their way to a big exit. Company valued at 10b? Great, sell or IPO. If the founder really realized that there was no profit

   The point of the post isn't that all problems should be given equal credence, but that all problems should be at least acknowledged. Im the end would you rather a Jr. dev who's been working on the project for 6 months be the one w

   Good call on the humidifier, I'll buy one today. I wasn't aware e-ink displays even existed outside of the classic kindle haha. I'll check them out but if they are as expensive as you say may only buy one as a last resort. Th

   Based on a cursory reading of the links you provided I don't believe so, but I'll still be sure to mention if to my optometrist just in case, thanks for making me aware of the condition.

   I enjoy solving problems on a computer, I don't enjoy working in a hot, greasy, rushed environment. Some jobs can be objectively ranked and pretending otherwise is ridiculous.

    You're conflating hard with requiring skill and knowledge. Doctors tend to have a much deeper well of knowledge than most nurses. Almost anyone can do customer service without exactly 0 years of training. Becoming a doctor is a much mo

    Lol are you joking? I would wager my life that not a single blue collar worker in America takes or remains in a job that they hate out of societal pressure to do so. Having grown up in am environment where my social group was almost nothing

    I've heard people who have similar beliefs to yours and IME they've never been able to rationalize what their society would actually look like and how we could maintain the same quality of life as we have today. Given that HN is a

    I don't get this argument against proprietary software. People building software should be able to expect payment for their work and effort. Food is required for a healthy society but would anyone here advocate for farmers to give away

    Aside from the WMD's, it's not the products themselves that you likely have grievances with, but the advertising behind them. Payday loans, while a bad reputation, can truly help someone out in a pinch who has no other options - b

    Logistics is something else entirely. Any consumer driven market is strongly indicative of its consumers morality, people just don't like to admit it.

    Oh so it's a pyramid scheme as well? What a horrible payment system. Imagine if whenever you sold your car you had to take a fraction of what you received for it and give it back to the dealership (or rather, the manufacturer in this c

    They're not encouraging crypto anymore than a liquor store encourages alcoholism. The liquor store may lower the barrier to entry for obtaining a bottle of alcohol, but it's ultimately the alcoholics choice to enter the store and

    Im a recovering alcoholic myself, don't lecture me. I didn't say they deserve to die. But if they can't stay sober they don't deserve a liver over someone else who may need it more.

    It likely varies hospital to hospital and region to region. I would hope it's more often the case than not though. I'm an organ donor and I wouldn't be happy to find out that my liver went to an alcoholic that wasn't mak
