It’s futile to rationalize a cult without acknowledging it’s a cult. The pundits who don’t are grifting or part of the cult themselves.

Yeah, this is an interesting thought exercise, and there’s a cleverness to it, but I prefer defaulting to UI that reasonably mirrors the data model and only obfuscating when inclusion creates confusion. I suspect it’s an equally imagined us

I love little facts like these. Thanks for sharing (and sounding convincing enough for me to trust it lol).

Becoming another individual’s whole world changes your own, for better or worse. I was a “such is life” type of person when experiencing tragedy, and fairly ho-hum during joyous moments. With kids, something changed, or “rewired”. I tear up

If it wasn’t for the space before the question mark, I’d have assumed you were a bot.

I tried to use Wave to collaborate on a blog post with friends, rather than emailing each other critiques. They thought it seemed to complicated and stuck with email. I’m haphazarding a guess that maybe Google didn’t stick with it because,

The “just tell me what to build, I don’t need to understand why” trope exists for a reason. I’ve worked with a range of engineers in terms of their curiosity. In my experience, the ones who cared enough to ask or push back on decisions were

The opaqueness is exactly why > If you have T1d, you've been able to get the prescription-variant of this product for years with insurance, so there really is no reason to get this unless you're un-insured. is dishonest at face

Surely you’re not a US resident, because “covered by insurance” is definitely not a good enough reason on its own to not consider this here. 30 days of CGM device coverage from our insurance costs more than this. That said, one actually leg

"You've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where can I sell it." I think this Jobs' quote is more applicable now

I think this is great news. Social media gets a lot of deserved blame for worsening our ability to connect meaningfully across interests and differences in beliefs. But I have to imagine dating apps have been nearly as bad in terms of their

This was me this past weekend. Wife was craving Subway for some reason. I didn’t object until I saw that a foot long was $12. I genuinely couldn’t believe it. I got my food elsewhere.

To your own point, the reports serve little value aside from a fabricated narrative that some companies like to build feel-goods around. Discuss the complexities and needs. Break the work into small chunks. Define what progress means. Set e

Did the majority opinions refute the dissent? All I saw was that they were dismissed as “extreme hypotheticals”. All of that despite the publication of Project 2025 openly calling for the next conservative president to bend and break bureau

What a strangely narrow way of looking at this. Work isn’t the only responsibility. What is the correlation between taking a week away from responsibilities - work, family, etc. - and job satisfaction?

“Welcome” doesn’t mean engage with, read and retain, or purchase / whatever it is the ad is pushing, which is what they ultimately want.

By no means am I defending it per se, but you’re grossly oversimplifying. That’d be akin to saying “what is sales other than sending a bunch of emails, sharing benefits pamphlets, and taking commission cuts when necessary?”

My 4 year old son has an iPhone, and we’d sooner homeschool him than keep him enrolled if the only schools we could send afford would confiscate or ban it. I recognize we’re an exception, but he has type 1 diabetes, and his iPhone is essent

Define “need”. I feel like I must be missing out on something or be very adaptable relative to the HN crowd. I’ve worked in my cloffice - barely big enough to stand in, ventless, and windowless - for nearly four years now. It’s not my daily

I’ve not heard anyone call them irrational for voting to protect their job access. The irrational takes regarding immigration IMO are the ones suggesting immigrants are a unique source of increased crime, despite data analysis suggesting ot
