Not just twitter, whatsapp, facebook, etc - the DNS system needs replacing too.

In a sense spiders are part of the problem - insect killers. I keep one in the kitchen window, and a little jumping one lives on the bedroom roof, migrates across to the windows a couple of times a day, but all others strictly belong outsi

Why not just have casual conversations instead? Standups are one those things that people disagree on endlessly without discussing context - their worth depends on the team. On my current team they're worthless. I'd rather have

You want change but without making any effort?

Psychology. Here in the UK the the lemming factor would kick in strongly - toilet paper, bicycles ... negative interest rate. The moment those words are uttered by the BBC you could expect the country to be covered with little puddles of

It's not just about (big) scalability - redundancy. Cockroach 3 node cluster is a no brainer to setup, just runs. I see cockroach as far easier to work with than Cassandra, and more easily expanded than postgres - sits very well betw

Also "20 000 new cases" - out of how many tests? 20 000? 100 000? There are claims of some companies returning only positive results, others only negative. Also the data collection has been so erroneous that analyses are therefo

That's the problem - who has credibility? Professor pants-down? Sweden? Germany? The high profile person on that side, or the high profile person on the other side?

Totally disagree with the layers philosophy. Way too much fuss. In mid-winter London I wear a t-shirt and a jacket. Perfectly warm. Just get a good jacket. Easy on, off, no ceremony.

I have no interest in being in the office. The commute is horrid and a waste of time. The socialising is insignificant. The water cooler never has more than one visitor at a time, so the idea of it being an idea exchange is myth. Everyo

I have a different account eg for hn on every device. I don't add my email and immediately forget my password, so the accounts are all disposable, and doomed. Karma has no value on my accounts.

The second half of your comment is exactly the experience I recently had when trying for the first time. I quit and built a container image instead.

I never get in before 10:30 because I refuse to use the tube before ~9:30. If it gets crowded while I'm on it I get off and wait. I have to extend my day accordingly. The transport and offices spaces are the productivity killers imo

Just to provide the opposite perspective, that sounds like my hell. A weekly catch-up, fine, and the rest of the time if I have anything worth chatting about I will. I can't stand the ritual ceremonies.

But you chose your profession, it wasn't assigned to you. You knew going in that either it's more about people, less about money if you're a nurse, or more money if you're a cardiac surgeon. Am I missing something?

Can the hardware not be upgraded? The article says the system is struggling with 400k people a week in new York. That's terribly slow. No overclocking?

Why would one downvote for disagreeing?

I agree. These people are not just selfish, they're idiots - I've seen purchases of years worth of toilet paper. My local shop had empty shelves for about a week but now has stacks on the floor as well as full shelves. The sani

Hn rules are to be ignored. It's _hacker_ news.
