Surely this time around, technological advancements in the name of "national security" won't end up used on its citizens ;) Genuinely a bit shocked at the naivety on HN on this topic but maybe thats a misunderstanding on my p

What inspired me to pursue computer related fields was making little badges and forum signatures in Photoshop as a teen. Heartwarming to see this tradition has persisted

I'm not a fan of this either but I fail to see how its much different than the happy path tech demos of old.

I've noticed a lot of content lately that purposely farms engagement through dark patterns. For instance: getting a detail wrong or poor spelling/grammar almost always draws a lot of responses to dunk on the original creator. When

Ask the average American worker if they'd like an extra $2300 a year. And yes I understand thats pre-tax. But even so, thats a non-negligible amount for a lot of people.

In the US it exists but you have to be a bit more aware of body language and such. Not everyone is as open. But generally communities exist all around you in the US, you may just not be aware of them.* * This is strictly in the cities. Subu

Your username is hilarious in context of this post. Sure there are a lot of horrible things that it's introduced. Replace social media with any other technology..what good have computers brought? What good has the automobile brought? I

As someone who lives in NYC, there are a lot of "sides" to it. What you're describing definitely exists, but to generalize the whole city as a laundering operation would be akin to generalizing a large tech org based on your

Lovely store, had a blast spending time in there a few years ago. Moog is also employee owned! Asheville in general was a great city to spend time in.

Bit of a laughable conclusion from the data if you ask me. The comments discussing it under the actual article do a good job debunking what this author was trying to suggest.

It just happened to me, slightly different situation than a "counter offer" but it was clear upon being let go that I was retained with a short term mindset, despite what I was pitched before deciding on whether or not to sign.

Obviously we'll never know but I'd love to see an alternate timeline where those acquisitions didn't happen. Instagram specifically has just become another ad infested shopping app for me these days.

Everything has bias, it's the human condition. The post does just fine informing readers and if you read the comments theres plenty more information on how Dominos exploits its workers and is just generally not for the people. DO your

Surely your coworker is an outlier. Feels like what you're describing is a great opportunity for a small amount of data analysis to allow companies to be gracious with customers who genuinely made a mistake and customers abusing the sy

What happens when the terms of service change in real time? When you try to contact someone and you're met with a void? When your livelihood is tied to a platform that decides to shut down? When an algorithm determines you're a th

I've been seeing this sentiment shared recently and what I always suggest is to 1) Look at your hobbies 2) Find people who share those hobbies Plenty of opportunities exist whether through meetup, BumbleBFF, local postings in cafes&#x2

Main arguments I saw (from the left, at least) against Yang's UBI proposals were how he planned to gut social programs to pay for it. I think there will definitely be more discussions about UBI in the US political sphere in the coming

Love this, thanks for sharing. I'm sure I'm not alone in the HN crowd of having fond memories of BW playing days. The sonic weapon, while accidental, feels similar to tactics used to disrupt concentration and logical thinking. E.g

Agreed. Last time I went for an annual physical I decided to get some blood work done, including some STD tests. With insurance I had to pay close to $200. We really shoot ourselves in the foot in the US by (among other things) not having e

I don't think focusing on album sales paints the full picture on how modern artists find success. I've heard artists mention how albums don't really make them much money. Things like touring and merch sales account for the bu

I think there are a lot of factors that go into a persons environment that influence something like murder rates. Also, depending on what you consider a violent crime, lack of reporting / local police department's doing something

I'd say its still exceptional and noteworthy. When you think "beauty queen" is a word you associate with them "anime" or "programming?" Norms and culture are certainly shifting but there still exists a lot

There are racists in every profession and walk of life. If you believe that being a hacker / someone with tech skills precludes you from having prejudice I hope you reflect on that belief.

It feels like different problem sets might yield different results no? As an avid music fan the ways I've sought out new material go as follows: - Originally, recommendations via trusted outlets / forum members - Not so long ago,
