   How would you define "killing it" to a non-native, English speaker?

   Another way of putting this is: If you can't use lego blocks to build something, then you don't understand it. But why would anyone want to recreate Shakespeare using lego blocks, or recreate a motorcycle using lego blocks? I&#x27

   Yeah, but these would never work with VR. The moment phones became capable of delivering smooth VR, i.e. smooth graphics, the phone PC became a strong possibility for quotidian tasks.

   Because the most successful blogging is not writing for people, it is writing for machines. The most successful bloggers understand that using keywords to trigger algorithms that lead to higher rankings is key. This is not literature by any

   I'm really not sure why this article got flagged. I'd say that Apple's PR reads Hacker News, too.

   This wouldn't be the first time they have been played given whom they've interviewed: a dishonored Nixon, a cadre of tobacco executives, and a bunch of confabulators from the US customs who claimed no drug trafficking between US a

   Yet, at the same time I would think twice before working at gitlab now. I feel the CEO or HR should have had an NDA in place with a generous severance. Also, I would be hesitant about hiring the engineer. He was given a great challenge, but

    Why wouldn't power in the non-physics sense not have meaning? Why are you restricting meaning, and thus truth, to just physics? In order to even participate in this forum doesn't meaning, and thus, truth, require a broader definit

    The first page of "Discipline and Punish" is a very clear description of the drawing and quartering of a regicide. I am not sure what nuggets you are referring to. Citations, please. I think he is arguing against "whittling..

    I think you misread the article. Foucault's point is that there are many ways of seeing power. "Foucault sought to unburden philosophy of its icy gaze of capturing essences."

    Nothing in this suggests sociopathy to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy#Sociopathy 1) You really should just do startups with folks that are solid friends to begin with, and even then you will have disagre

    For comparison, Facebook had 3500 employees at the time of their IPO, and it's "just a website." Snapchat is many products: video ad platform, augmented reality selfie app, broadcast platform via sunglasses, photo uploading a

    I think thoughtful comments with advice on how to refactor is a way better indicator than giving my PRs over to the mob. Ya thumbs down or any reaction with code is a mistake.

    Solid chapter on asynchrony! I really find the "Review" section at the end to be useful and tying concepts together. Yeah, I need to learn more core JavaScript.

    Yeah, that would be an important article to write. I think the compromise where everyone "wins" with the open office is more inter-team communication.

    I guess if I used Google the way this author did, I could write an article called, "Why Open Offices Are Great."

    I wish I could down vote this. This feels really spammy and not in the spirit of a "Show HN." Show HN, IMHO, is about sharing code or processes that other people can use that solve a problem. This is just an ad.

    Ya, MtGox had people's savings in it. I really feel sorry for them and hope Mark's arrest and trial give them some justice even though they won't be made financially whole again. http://www.dailydot.com/busine

    Where's the data? If the data is the tweets cited and googling 'Functional Programming Arrogant', then it's definitely a hasty generalization (the community is open) of a hasty generalization (the community is arrogant).
