Not particularly directed at you, but it's certainly a dichotomy in that managers are the only ones responsible for "rethinking another's employment". I'm curious to know how often you would consider reflecting on

I wonder if it's that fewer females prefer STEM, or is it that more men are doing things they would prefer not to?

My guess is the doctors who don't spend extra time trying to solve the case probably shouldn't be paid for the time separately as is being suggested here. It would appear to me that they have already lost the innate curiosity (if

A great example of why I think the entire core ecosystem of the web is backwards. I've had a number of comments here on HN related to this. Imagine this same scenario, except instead of the User being in charge of deciding which engin

Thank you for the post, and finding and reading my comment. It's extremely thought provoking, and inspiring to know that these conversations are happening. The "new tab type" idea sounds like it fits. In a way I see the &qu

In a nutshell. It would only be a simple shell, with extremely minimal API (for user settings, etc), which could sandbox browser engines. This (a) makes "switching between browsers" a seamless experience to the end user, (b) mak

What if anyone in the world who had an idea for a "new web", could build it tonight, and have it used tomorrow? My solution to the "new web" problem is radically different (though to be fair, trying to reinvent the web i

"...unless you work at Google or Microsoft you can’t meaningfully impact the technical direction of the web" I think this is a great argument for why we need a (for lack of a better name) "meta-browser". An appl

I had an idea that I was going to turn into a side project related to this, but find myself too busy to work on it at the moment. Imagine a simple ML engine that would allow an artist to pipe in a selection of "art", whether that

Generally speaking. Given that DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service, I'm not certain that moving larger clients to their own dedicated AWS resources should cause too many negative side effects. Especially ones who are so large they&

Is the only rational manipulation that which makes me more wealthy?

Does this philosophy also assume the wealthiest won't try to manipulate scarcity in order to gain more wealth?

Because of all the negativity in Soylent threads I always feel obliged to add my opinion. Soylent has been an extremely positive addition to my life.

I've designed and built a few of these. I've heard both sides of the argument (digital/analog). I find analog better in every way, but in my experience those who prefer digital time pickers are definitely vocal. I've t

I think the world will eventually reach an equilibrium where humans, and commerce, will simply (because of technology) be so much more efficient / effective than they are today, it will make it possible for governments to be as effecti

It is my (probably controversial) belief that humans can teach other humans how to become geniuses. We just haven't figured out how to yet. With one caveat: My guess is intervention probably has to start early.

I wonder how it looks to courts that Oracle, thus far, has strategically singled out Google? If Oracle does not show a concerted effort to protect their copyright from all who are "infringing", does that help delegitimize their ca

My limited experience building some components with Polymer was that it is surprisingly intuitive. When I thought something should naturally work a certain way, more often than not it did.
