I'm almost two years into self-employment and I'm wondering when I'm going to either stop cutting myself on things or land a position with some people who can show me their cool scars for a while. This forum is the closest th

Where I live, the $300 from the federal gov’t continues until early September but the $300 from the state ends this month, I could be wrong but I assume it’s going to differ moderately from state to state. At any rate, a lot of people I kno

I feel like a lot of time was spent convincing the reader that instant games are the future and not explaining the benefits and potential shortcomings of the area. A significant amount of the article is filling in background information.

From reading the article it seems like the job areas getting hit the hardest would be low level hospitality jobs and on-site jobs with little to no remote opportunity. I imagine those would be the hardest positions to outsource. People qu

The first thing I said when the $600/week unemployment started rolling out was that people were going to realize how little they were being paid to work, and here we are. It's almost like they didn't know any better. I'

Yeah, something tells me the fact that your coworkers are more excited to be back in person doesn't have anything to do with how brave you all are. Maybe consider that are other reasons besides fear for why people prefer to work in an

Yeah, being unaware of your alcoholism doesn't make it any less influential on your behavior. If anything, telling someone who is in denial about their alcoholism to "stop drinking" seems like the most useless option.

Sure, but good luck explaining that to everyone in my apartment building.

Even better, you accidentally click on the incorrectly typed word and add it to your dictionary.

Reading the other article on HN definitely helped me understand more. I think really it comes down to me not understanding why they had so much trustworthiness to begin with. They've been obscuring their code for about a year and even

I should probably say first that I totally agree with the overall point of the article. This was a sketchy move by Signal and I really question the motivations that played into making such a decision. With that said, there's just som

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how exactly is that the case? It's been damaging to their claims of transparency for almost a year now, if anything this should be the first step in repairing that slight. How is dumping a

Well they qualified that statement with 'I literally have enough money not to worry about it and now my interest is in the things I spend my money on' so I'm not sure if that disqualifies what GP was saying. It's easy t

None of these comments are reacting to people complaining about Amazon in the comments or claiming that HN is unfairly biased against Amazon, which is what the comment I replied to was about.

Sorry you're so salty about downvotes that you're resorting to ad hominem and debating semantics instead of discussion, but you clearly don't have anything more productive to say so enjoy your well-founded sense of intellectu

Maybe don't get into an argument about semantics when it's pretty clear what the person you replied to originally meant. Half the comments in this thread are reacting to the negative comments about Apple in this thread . Typica

I specifically mean reacting to the criticism Apple is getting. You see the same level of criticism of any major tech company in the comments section of the front page but very rarely are those criticisms followed up by a bunch of users de

Third party developers are typically for-profit, and your argument was that those developers are capable of factoring in the long-term impacts of their decisions over the short-term profits when in reality that is very frequently not the

I think it's funny that you accuse someone of not considering the alternatives with the supporting argument that 'they probably considered the alternatives'. What makes you think a for-profit company is thinking about the lo

I don't see how that's any different from Microsoft, Amazon, or any other major tech company that makes the front page of HN. In fact the only difference I can think of is that there's always some degree of reactionary discou

Apple contradicts public statements from Apple pretty consistently, they have a habit of saying they won't ever do something right up until they do it. I don't think there's anything unreasonable about those types of concern

I mean, the Muslim 're-education' camps officially don't exist if you consider a statement coming directly from the CCP to be official. I have a hard time understanding how so many people here are either minimizing that fact

Well the freedoms being taken away in this instance involve throwing certain religious groups into labor camps, so maybe consider the context of the argument.

They absolutely detract from that achievement. Imagine making an account just to defend concentration camps.
