You people always have to preface with "...I'm always for regulation and government interference...but".

How tired are you after a days of works. Many of us are mentally drained, which we feel as physically drained after work. Not only that, but physical activity plus our mental strain screws with our cortisol levels. Personally, I used to wo

yes, it'll be a slow slog, but Americans aren't stupid and understand that fully autonomous roads are controlled by government and bad.

That's a good point. Singapore is an autocratic state and very small. It'll be decades (maybe a century) before Americans give up their right to freely drive their cars. The are huge individual american rights to move around free

"the right" didn't invent "global warming"....the left did. Listen, maybe, or maybe not, there is man-made global warming, but when the left calls for the death-penalty for global warming "denialists", the

Global Warming coincides with leftist economic/political policies very neatly. That can't be denied.

In many large ways, it’s almost as if we have collectively stopped planning for the future. We never did "collectively plan" for the future, nor should we.

In the mid-late 90s, when I started writing C++, I had a gut instinct that methods and data shouldn't be encapsulated together. I couldn't explain why though. Rich Hickey started clarifying it for me a little though. I can't

So Spain isn't Germany, but I'm curious why even in the midwest (St. Louis no less), senior developers easily command $120k+. But I guess this also goes to the point why SV is only playing "normal" senior developers $150

Not sure why you're getting modded down, because your'e exactly right. They're stupid, psychological, trick questions to get people to lie. Just walk out when you get questions like this.

Where besides NYC? Nowhere. Americans like their cars. They like to drive. America is not the collectivist/statists that represent modern HN...which is pretty sick. Hackers are anti-establishment! Hackers are not conformists that d

you pop into the market as you walk past it on the way home from work, We're not European, we're not going to be European...ever. We just don't "pop in" to some market while we're walking by. We pop-in whil

I think its pretty telling that Y-combinator wants to become central planners. I'd back off these political positions you guys keep on taking.

At what point are there consequences for bad decisions by judges? At what point are there consequences for bad decisions by prosecutors? At some point, judges and prosecutors have to be held account for decisions that are clearly unconstit

Been there, seen that. Nebulous, pie-n-the-sky requirements coupled with PMs that don't understand software development and probably don't even understand the product. I feel bad for PMs, because there is a role for them - just u

I think topmind/tablizer has been somewhat vindicated with the rise of Clojure and Rich Hickey ranting on OO in a much more eloquent way. But generally, I think the glow of OO as some kind of awesome panacea for software development wo

Maybe because except for the 1% most of the population feels the negative effects of it? A Bernie Sanders meme isn't reality. Vastly more than 1% are doing fine.

The democrat party is so far to the left of JFK, that there's no real middle-ground between the parties anymore. America is at a tipping point right now. Things could get real nasty in the not too distant future. No wonder there&#x

I'm not a Haskell programmer, but I wish more languages had Newtypes. Most of the time I'm too lazy (or consider it too much boilerplate) to wrap strings in classes. But on more than one occasion I've spent too much time trac
