Alternatively maybe they had been working on the idea for awhile and it was just a coincidence. Bringing an idea to the table that they were already working on might also hurt your chances of getting a job there.

Why does your faith trump someone else's personal belief? That is, why does faith, which is a belief without any proof, often with proof to the contrary, trump a belief that might actually be grounded in some form of reasoning? In bo

I'm not seeing anything, but I'm on mobile. Does it only work on desktop? That seems like a pretty big deterrent to using it if so.

Yeah, but are the decreased amount of police calls due to Target's loss prevention officers (and other such prevention mechanisms), or is it simply due to the fact that they cater to a different demographic? It would certainly be an i

Response to flippant answer: I'm pretty sure the only thing Target figured out is to cater to a higher income demographic. I'm curious if there were less disturbances before Walmart, or if they were just more distributed throughou

Well, despite using the term progressive, the poster I replied to was not emphasizing progressive taxes, because he used an analogy where everyone literally pays the same amount. In any case, what I said wouldn't be covered under a fla

When two people order a steak, regardless of their income, they get the same thing. On the other hand, one of the largest services a government offers its citizens is protection of the citizens' persons and wealth, both from domestic

Asking to be paid during an interview seems too much but a 4-8 hour interview doesn't seem too much? The average interview length across all industries is 40 minutes. Asking interviewers to spend 4+ hours on the hope of a job offer s

I think the distinction being made is the value of the stock vs the value of the company, which is not always perfectly in sync. That's why, at any given time, a stock can be undervalued or overvalued. For example, I think you'd

The problem is that virtually all of the screen time studies don't apply to tablet usage as they were studying the effects of passive screen time such as watching tv. People have a tendency to group the two together as "screen tim

Yes, all the time. HN advertises jobs for y combinator companies and those ads are placed in between actual news stories.

You're thinking of a very specific type of investment. Investment in the more generic form simply means putting in time, money, and/or effort in the hopes of some future reward. In this case, you're investing money in the h

I would advise not to iterate based off a single customer. Despite being a customer, I think there is still too great a chance that she isn't in the startup's target market. This goes 10x if the customer isn't a paying cust

And based on the second article I posted, you also need to make sure you don't look uncomfortable while stating that you are exercising your right to remain silent.

Django Baker Adds a management command that generates views, forms, urls, admin, and templates based off the contents of models.py. It's a bit like Rails scaffolding, but less magical. For each view it creates, for example, it will in

Yes but at least everyone, for the most part, would be in agreement to what constitutes proper use and misuse of the buttons, which we don't have now. More importantly, the votes could be used differently in calculating the comment dis

No, the reply function is for when you have something meaningful to add. If all you have to say is "I agree/disagree" or "your comment was useful/not useful", the reply function is not the right function to use

Up/Down voting on HN and most other sites makes me think of the Yo app, where there are simply too few choices to express what you wish to say. A simple solution which I doubt will ever be enacted would be to increase the options from

This looks cool and works great on desktop. Unfortunately on mobile (iPhone 6 Plus, 8.3, Safari browser) it's very buggy. In the third example, moving an item anywhere (including in the container, even right back where you selected it)

Selling the item each time requires each party to research the resale value based on current condition. It's easier to agree on a rental rate than a resale value. Also, the original owner might not want to sell it but instead make a li

I doubt you'll get many casual renters because of the friction of having to go out of your way to meet someone (that might not show up, or might show up late) for small amounts of cash. I also think not having a good conflict resoluti
