Fortunately, you can do both. Diversity is, on it's own, something that's been shown to improve decision making proficiency. You should read the article, it does a very good job of…

I've been listening to the "How to Start a Startup" podcast, mostly out of idle curiosity, and I've just finished the second episode, "Team and Execution". In it, Sam Altman talks …

SSH is a protocol, not an implementation, all your complaints are just engineering problems.

I'm playing the odds, and using my judgement. Combined, this submission is most certainly not what PG had in mind when he founded HN. I could be wrong, but I don't see how.

Other than your idea about the path forward, I completely agree. I too am exhausted by the EFF's constant "the sky is falling" attitude. Their strategy probably works for funding r…

Politics is off topic, that's clear to anyone who reads the rules. Don't make this about you or me, that's pointless and small. That I'm human and capable of making mistakes doesn'…

What grandparent post is failing to understand is that we're part of the process. Our outrage was anticipated, and the system expects us to cry out when a bad law gets proposed.

Nope, this is not up for interpretation. It literally says, "politics is off-topic" in what you quoted.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures…

Linux has never been very good for standard desktop use in the form presented by OS X and Windows. It's still a hobby OS, where your computer itself must become your hobby, rather …

> There's atleast 15% wiggle room on each journey, seeing as Uber takes 20% off the top. Seems like a number pulled from nowhere.

But all things are most certainly not going to be equal, least of all cost and availability.

I explain in greater detail the problems with the original comment in another comment, if you're interested in something more than verbal sniping. It's simply not true that I must …

I elaborate somewhat on each of those statements in another comment. Criticism of false "expert" advice is critically important for HN.

Here are the reasons why I don't believe you should have written your comment: * You falsely (implicitly) assert expertise on a topic (nutrition) to which you've had no actual trai…

I didn't say you were implying anything, what I said was I find it astounding how little actual data you seem to have collected, compared to the sweeping conclusions you're drawing…

What blows my mind is that someone like you can see a sample size of one (you), pull like 15 different levers, and then proceed to "know" which of the levers actually worked, and w…

I mean... you literally can't legislate crypto, can you? Could someone explain what this would look like, in a practical sense? Would self-signed keys become illegal, and all PKI w…
