I find it amazing and heartening to see this kind of humanistic, self-reflective discourse on hn, where I generally expect to find macho posturing.

I think the policies you cite as bad ideas do in fact enjoy broad support in the areas that enact them. "Hearts and minds" campaigns led by outsiders are notoriously difficult and prone to failure. Can you suggest a way to start t

She didn't leave it out. "I think Prof Taleb did get annoyed when I said that I had read his ‘pop risk’ book, not the others. But I was actually trying to make clear that I had some knowledge of his work, though not a lot."

We could try to regulate away the good fortune of the people who bought the house, or we could try to convince the tech industry that they actually don't all need to be colocated, alleviating competition for resources in that area. Wha

I know I'm in the minority about this, but I still prefer callbacks. In one common case, you're only doing one or two async things in a given area of the code, and in that case the async primitive you choose doesn't really ma

The Tao Te Ching spends a lot of words talking about this. I'm partial to the Stephen Mitchell version. Also Ecclesiastes (basically, the Judeo-Christian reimplementation of Buddhism) is pretty vocal on the subject. http://a

This is the problem my startup is going to solve! It's going to be a service connecting muggers and burglars who steal your physical stuff with criminals who want your passwords! I'm going to call it Robbr!

I think that the author is defining memory leaks as permanently out of scope but not deallocated memory. In that sense I don't know of anything in vanilla Python, or Java, that would qualify as a memory leak. In the more intuitive sens

I really wish I could get 16gb RAM without paying for a touchscreen. It was possible to get an Ubuntu XPS configured that way as recently as two weeks ago. Should have pulled the trigger then.

For the reference of people commenting here, the definition of quandary is "a state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation" I imagine that if you are Sylvania, or if you are thinking about making lar

It is hard to take an article about "focus" seriously on a site that pops up an email subscription request as soon as you start to read it.

Make blue apron for food pantries. One summer I volunteered on a kind of food pantry truck; twice a week, we'd load up this box truck with whatever the local supermarkets had donated-- pallets of turnips about to expire, pallets of bre

OT, but can someone explain why this won't instantly be sued into oblivion by the former employers? It seems like some of the Otto team will be using knowledge they gained at their last job on what seems like a competing product.

A bit ot, but I've found that you can tell a good engineer by whether, when you tell them about the design of something, their first response is a question or a suggestion or criticism. With good engineers it's almost always a que

The guy quoted at the end seems to think it's the passcode itself that would be incriminating, rather than the contents of the phone. Weird. I've seen a theory that compelling someone to disclose a password can be incriminating be
