i hesitate to pursue a career of any kind, especially tech, because of all this. you have to have a pretty good personality and charisma in order to work well with your manager, or else you will make no progress which means you get fired. p

i would say both renting and buying a house are bad ideas. when you rent, you have to pay a huge amount of money to pay for your landlords premium gasoline for his lambo. when you buy (in a city), you are having to take on the cost of every

this is what frustrates me. i cant afford a lawyer. from the looks of it, i cant afford to incorporate either. how is anyone supposed to bootstrap themselves these days?

i recently saw a paper that called into question the expansion of the universe. i think it was by a man called eric lerner. he provided evidence that seemed pretty convincing. is there anything to this?

i appreciate the effort to make video content accepted here on hn, but this is not video content that i think should be on the front page. this is flat out not very intellectually interesting.

do not buy an xps. i bought a thirteen inch xps and the linux compat has some minor issues and the power supply died on me less than a year after purchasing it. my next computer is a thinkpad for sure.

im not sure how you and every single other person who responded to my comment came to think that this was about saving resources. the only reason i dont want to use water is because water is a terrible way of taking care of waste on a mobil

we seriously need a better solution for toilets. toilets use huge amounts of water. if you want to have a toilet in a moving vehicle, or anywhere that is not directly connected to a sewage line and a giant water treatment plant, then you ar

kids who are not raised well are usually the ones who turn to things that are not looked upon well by their community and society. or kids who have some kind of festering problem. there are a some kids who are given zero guidance by their p

i was riding my bike last night and was almost home when i came upon the four way stop in front of my complex. it was very late at night and there were no cars. there was not a soul there -- totally quiet. so of course i didnt stop for the

this is a waste of time. besides all the great points made elsewhere, about the availability of land, there is the fact that this technique does not provide a good house. concrete houses are usually re-enforced with steel. where is the re-e

im really excited about planes that have several smaller motors and props instead of one or two large ones. its a design that is only now becoming possible commercially because of EV popularity. really looking forward to seeing where it all

this is absolutely fascinating. why cant these people just commute from pleasant hill or even lafayette? i had the same accommodations as these people and paid only 400 in pleasant hill.

is it just me or is homesteading becoming popular again? jerry brown is retiring to an off-grid ranch. off-grid ranches, homes and homesteads are becoming more popular. locally grown greens are more popular which flirts with homesteading an

worrying about success is unmitigated idiocy. everyone gets caught up in this herd mentality of wanting to have the best image on instagram and etc. when i was in college, 90 percent of the other people in the cs program were blatant zucker

this reminds me of the white zombie -- the car that started my whole obsession with electric cars all those years ago.

your age really comes through with the way that you refer to cathode ray tubes as "monitors."

why is it shocking?

the initial temperature, in that ideal system, is determined by deliberately making it hot or cold with a small sized air conditioner or heater. so in the ideal system you heat or cool once and then never again.

venting appliances that create heat is not done anywhere as far as i know. the refrigerator is the main appliance that needs this because it is essentially a heat pump that runs all the time. insulating it well and venting its hot side is v

first of all, a house with no windows on a single side is not unacceptable. i live in a place that only has windows on one wall and i find it more than acceptable. look at all the houses that people have built with no windows on one or more

im sorry but this means that the houses were not designed well. if you have a house that is well insulated, and that does not leak heat from the ventilation system, that means that it will stay the same temperature. if you go through a cycl

what are you talking about? who mentioned a dehumidifier? mvhr simply exchanges air without changing its temperature. its not great for cooling or heating by its very definition. its good for humidity and freshness. using insulation and hr

you dont seem to have read the article. passive houses generally have very good insulation, very air-tight envelopes and a system that is called heat recovery ventilation. insulation and air tightness afford the house the property of stayin

i spend a lot of time looking at alternative housing and i must say that container homes are complete and utter bull shit. its a stupid fad that is fueled by idiots. containers are expensive. just transporting a container is already a losin

i think the article is correct, but i also think that new perceptions about society are contributing to the problem. kids used to think that they could make ends meet, somehow. as time goes forward, that notion is increasingly replaced by t
