A google job is like the top 1-3%. The vast majority of people don't make anywhere near that much. second, it's not about hatred for immigrants. It's just about jobs and housing. And, there's simply not enough of thos

I agree, this aspect absolutely sucks. I really feel, the people that have already been here for a long time should be eligible for citizenship to give them stability. But, for the long term, this country really needs to start preventing &

I can understand how this might seem unfair to immigrants. this part is completely wrong: "If they have more workforce they can do more". The demand for labor is not determined by the supply of labor, it's determined by the d

I've worked for about 7 different companies over 15 years and at each of those places I've seen a ton of engineers come and go. Most of the time, the reason they leave is one of three things: got fired, got laid off, or was pushe

I for one, will not miss hertz. They charged me 100$ for a baby seat, without even listing the price. Then, when I confronted them about it, they tried to deny responsibility by saying it was the billing vendor's fault even though th

I have a digital alarm clock from about 20 years ago. i think it's JVC. it still works, even though I stepped on it about 5 years ago, once. Amazingly, it's still on the original battery!!!!

I've been looking at data on movoto.com, looking at their inventory snapshot. For the past few months, you can see Housing inventory (SF) has increased very slightly and when you take into account the seasonality (inventory usually in

I think it's awesome that HackerNews exists. Sadly, every other platform on the internet seems to criticize and discourage new products (except product hunt).

Over time, he's right in principle. But maybe, there just hasn't been enough time yet for it to play out. if we're seeing price declines, then it's already playing out.

The fallacy is thinking that you need GMOs to address malnutrition and it just isn't so. There's so many whole grain foods and whole plant foods that have more than enough nutrients. And, I don't just mean a couple. There&#

i think the boeing executives are better equiped to measure future demand. i'm sure they wouldn't be cutting costs unless they knew there would be future decline in demand.

I've been to college and by far, the most valuable thing i got a little piece of paper that says I'm cool: the bachelors degree in computer science, and roughly 10% of what I learned is useful. nothing else mattered, at all.

People look at "modern frameworks" and they're so easily impressed by what it can do. But, it's very short sighted. If you're project expects you to implement a feature that doesn't work in that framework, al

People are a lot more capable than you think. There's a pretty vast oversupply of talent and not enough jobs to fill them. As a result, you have people who are capable of becoming so much more ending up in menial, low end jobs.

The first 10K or so units would be for the homeless. But, after that you can rent them out for some small amount to anyone that needs it. Just imagine, if you're homeless and it's raining. What would you prefer? live in the stre

You can add toilets, corridors, walls, common ammenitities and make it nice. Those are less than 30% of the total area. I was just making an example.

I know this will be downvoted because people aren't really interested in solving the real problem. We could fix the whole SF homeless population problem in the space of one parking lot. Just build micro apartments of 10'x10'

If you have a family with kids in daycare at 3000$+ each! and paying 6000$ a month for a crappy 2bd apartment, you'll happily move to the midwest for half the salary. You'd be better off, in terms of standard of living in a midwe
