If every single employer has the same work conditions, then what? If the state of the industry as a whole is low pay and unpaid overtime, then it's not like a developer can just go to a better job.

HN has a dislike of one-word answers without any hard data to back them up. If fasting can be undertaken safely by an individual not in a health care setting, how? What is the mechanism for safety? What are some signs that fasting is veerin

I used to struggle with this, but as I've gotten older I have realized that people generally like talking about things they're interested in, and you can keep conversation going by asking questions about what they like. It helps t

Exactly! So if all Chihuly does is take a crayon to a piece of paper and say "Make this thing!", but your friend and others like your friend do the heavy lifting to bring the idea to life, is Chihuly that great of an artist after

Wow, that article led me to the artist Bob Kuster ( http://bellemeadhotglass.com/gallery/glass-chandeliers/ ), "who's making chandeliers so closely related to Chihuly's that Chihuly frowned when he sa

Extremely well put. Part of the reason I wrote my original comment was to see what the HN collective thought about my reasoning- as I have personally struggled to think of Dale Chihuly as being an artist once I found out that he does not ac

With hot sauces, there's a very distinct flavor difference between Tabasco, Crystal, Frank's, etc. not to mention there's regional affiliation to what hot sauce you use. Additionally, I think a lot of "traditional"

"a reputable surgeon doesn't guarantee lack of side effects." Absolutely! Side effects are possible for anyone getting the surgery, and like I said in my parent comment (or hoped to say), everyone should weigh the potential p

I had LASIK a little over a year ago and it turned out very well for me, due in part to having a great doctor and due in large part to all of the research that I did before having the surgery. However, one thing I emphasize to everyone cons
