I am [undiagnosed] high-functioning ASD Level 1, I have high "intelligence" and very strong pattern recognition but slow "processing speed". As a result I am quickly overwhelmed by having too much information presented

I have been this owner AND this employee, at different times in my career. As the employee, it's as you describe -- having goals described to the team without actual tasks being assigned to individual employees/teams is a recipe

I dunno, my mechanic says he's recently had late-model Kias and Hyundais come into his shop needing full engine rebuilds after like 50k miles.

That might have been the case at one point, but I just bought a Framework 13 Pro with Ubuntu preinstalled.

Well, sort of. Technically speaking, S-Corps by definition pay no federal income tax since they're pass-through entities. If the sole shareholder of an S-Corp was an ESOP, the income is passing through to it. The ESOP has beneficiaries

You are a lone voice of reason in these comments, presumably because you checks notes read the article. I will add that voting blocs do shift. In fact, in the last two US presidential elections, retirees actually broke for the Democrat. T

Every day HN receives submissions like this, albeit usually as "show HN" posts, but not always. One could argue it's literally what HN is here for.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I hadn't considered that angle (English- vs. non-English-speaking countries, and democratic- vs. non-democratic countries). > Maybe something that would help these platforms is some kind of dis

I'm all for free speech and privacy. But in the 30+ years I've been online, the actual trendline I've observed is that anonymous, uncensored forums evolve quickly into a vector for delivering speech that promotes hate, violen

I am so confused. I remember "NAFO" from the early days of the war. I don't remember it "turning out to be a NATO operation". And if it did turn out to be, I don't understand how that would make it a "psyo

Learned the Ian knot back in my early 20s (25 years ago now). Pound for pound this is easily in my top 10 highest value things I've ever done/learned. My shoes do NOT come untied anymore, period, ever. Funny thing is, if you don&

You write well and you mean well but what's actually hopeless is trying to use logic with the people who post these kinds of articles and crawl out to comment on them. They're never going to view these conflicts dispassionately, s

Crazy that this popped up right now. I am a lifelong Linux desktop user, primarily on KDE Plasma the past 10 years or so. I'm a Virtual Desktops devotee because I swap back and forth between multiple projects/clients. I recently

Today's reminder of how old I'm getting: this is totally predictable. Microsoft has been doing this for 30 years. Disclaimer: I'm aware of these things and have used most of them, but really none as a daily driver since Wind

I enjoyed reading this site and appreciate the passion and the effort. The "loss of the pint" is basically shrink-flation. When a bar's costs and/or overhead goes up, they must do some combination of cutting expenses and

Former employee of mine had the 2019 MBP as well. After a few years he had the same problem with the fans -- if you haven't already, pop it open and clean the fans and vents. You'll probably need a little brush along with compress

Same. I had a Garmin for about 6 months and I eventually just stopped wearing it and sold it. Knowing how many steps I took today, checking it several times a day to see if I was meeting my goal, knowing how many vertical feet I skied.. non
