Oh my shit, they don't claim to have an answer. They have a direction. Not an answer. There's a very large difference. The entire language in this is extremely aware and careful that they don't have a cure. Quit acting like t

I get that, I'm 32, a millenial as well. I tried the urban lifestyle because... well, I guess I was supposed to. It was fun at first, and then I hated it. Three different cities and, just not for me. I like having a backyard (I like to

"Although findings in mice do not always translate into human treatments, the study may help to guide the development of strategies that could help..." Pulled right from the article. Studies in mice are simply a way to point in th

Yea, I'm not picking on you about the car culture thing (sorry if it seemed so). I'm just getting irked by it because I've been seeing that comment so often the past year as "America bad because America likes cars, car c

Yea, but if we're going to follow the logic of the article, the Harris Poll’s Alienation Index had American alienation at 29% in 1966. Car culture and the general structure of most towns were already mature at that point. I think the r

How are those technical impossibilities? They're all essentially what Snowden says the NSA has been doing. It's a perfectly logical concern of a country demanding apps to be installed. Hell, it's been a problem with the Faceb

I'd just like to say something as someone that's sold/installed security cameras and software in both the private, gov and LE sectors. Yes, there's a lot of "over priced" cameras (and software) out there that a

Not related to youtube, but related to the gilded cage thing. Back in the day when I worked at a print shop, there was a pharma-sales guy that had some cards and random brochures printed with us here and there. About a year later, he has me

Something else about big bird, his costume is crazy expensive for upkeep. They have a high standard of quality for feathers, and the longer, iconic feathers are both delicate and expensive. Theres a good reason his screen time and physical

I know, it makes no sense. Just because it takes a few more people, a little more time and just a hair more money to make a movie or TV show compared to a song, doesn't mean there should be complicated distribution contracts that navig

Yea, but going through the list, a lot of the products are vain rebrands. Some of which still exist in one form or another. Some haven't exactly died either, they were just absorbed into "bigger" products. Though, RT being pu

I think there's an inherent problem between programmers/software engineers and the rest of the science/math community when it comes to their outlook on life. There was a post, I think last year, on HN on famous science, math,

It's a 14 hour window to drive 11 hours. It's not a 9-5. Everyday with 70 hour limit in a 7 day time period. Quick look, they did change the rules since I quit in 2012. Looks like a 60/70 hour limit in a 7/8 day span. Th

No. I was a truck driver for almost a year. The job pays like shit. You have to pay $2-5k for classes to get a CDL or get locked in with a company that trains you and you pay back at their variable rates of interest... oh and they "los

Actually, I think you brought up something interesting. The stats are mostly about the "bulk" of the workforce. How are the general workers (grunts) treated? Kind of like, you can tell how clean a restaurant kitchen is by visiting

A new trace for 3 to 8 gauge cable depending on load from roof to ground isn't a five min job nor are they cheap, both wire and labor. Hell, I charged 80/hr for low voltage pulling. High voltage is a whole different set of concern

Um, what electrician are you hiring that runs wire from roof to ground and terminates, and provides materials for just $100 bucks?

Okay, I've spent a little more time on this than I probably should have, but I think I realized something. The reason this works is mostly due to the VCs being generic in general. I've been reading the tweets they're based on

Great, congrates, sounds like your bot is going to be the first computer program to demand worker's rights and protection from cruel and unusual punishment. But seriously wanted to say it's pretty stellar and so far none of these

I will say I do agree for the most part. I did try out square space for 2 months when I had a business idea. The idea was flawed to begin with... mainly because I came up with it when really drunk... but hey, I wasn't displeased with t

What's sad, all fictional portrayals of dystopias are struggles and fights. Like, "the good guys died in battle from being killed by the bad guys". Now, if you speak up against FAANG or some other company making bullshit prom

I think it was Tennessee where a dude was dead on the floor for a good 20 minutes. But a week or two earlier, they noticed on the cameras he put an item in the wrong bin when stocking. They told him after about 90 seconds of him doing it.

Exactly. Because the podcaster is saying the script (normally), we may actually listen (pay attention) to it. That's what they hope for. If there isn't even a chance in hell that we would even START to hear it, then there's n

I'm going to have to agree with this is not a "good" idea. ~95% of podcasters are just small team folks. They make a bit of money on the side with it or just barely make enough to do it full time. I've always been willin

The last time an article on HN about Amazon's warehouses being dangerous came out, a number of folks tried to argue that it's no big deal because they weren't dying. Thus, it's a safe place to work. High accident rates a

To be fair most web dev practices are all based on silly notions of tracking and crappy UI ideas made by idiots. Animating in blocks of text is what I'm mostly referring to, but theres plenty more. Take twitter for example. A tweet tak

You still get punished for it... That's the whole argument. Even it's an accident, it's not the same kind of accident as turning a corner and spilling coffee on them.
