Because we still don't know how the brain really does all it does in very specific terms, so why assume to know exactly how we think?

I've always taken to the perspective that money alleviates stress and anxiety, but alleviating stress and anxiety is not the definition of happiness (even if it helps).

This is entirely false. My s.o is relatively well known in comic art communities and they (and many others) are using this right now. I don't think HN quite grasps how much artists…

Or, you simply ensure you get salary bands relayed up front before continuing.

This is an extremely interesting subject. I understand the "hate" for leet code, or simply live coding exercises in general, though so far the majority of "hate" I've heard for thi…

Assuming they sign up for an account. Email them, and ask. There are tons of products out there to allegedly help with this within your site: i.e feedback popups, chat popups, etc.…

As an engineering leader who has done a reasonable amount of hiring in the heart of silicon valley, every single negotiation tactic provided by a candidate who received an offer (w…

And the standard startup contract says business hours are "9-5" The poster's point is that what they say doesn't match reality, contract or otherwise

If you're collecting data, you generally want a) as much as you can get and b) be able to make use of it any way you want. Yes users of a privacy centric analytics tool are opting …

Can't speak for the OC, but I'd say decision paralysis for these sorts of utilities is more about "will I regret having used this after a year vs something else" and less about "ca…

Using a better algorithm makes sense, though a single color seems to be the point of the "product" in this case.

You should recognize your privilege along with your strengths, and not overtly hide your privilege to appear on equal footing. I have intimate knowledge with writers, specifically …

Definitely not meant as a deterrent for anyone. Just stating information I've viewed. That's all. If anything those coming from backgrounds I didn't list should try to be as involv…

Don't think there was any weighing in on fairness going on as much as it not being acknowledged enough. I believe, from experience seeing it, many founders who succeed will quote l…

I love this comment. I don't think this notion gets highlighted enough. This is definitively anecdotal, though I've been at / through approximately 5 startups across 12 years, and …

Yea don't lie. That won't go well if you get hired and now you have to remember to keep some lie consistent.

Just be honest. Seems fine. As someone who speaks with many candidates a week, I'm more worried about people who average 1 year at various jobs across 5 years (such as someone work…

Sure, for now. We would all be naiive to believe that insurance companies wouldn't lobby to be able to use other such information continually if they had it until they can use it t…

The least interesting part of intercom at this point is the chatbox itself. Intercom at this point is / is moving towards a tool to reach your customers / specific audiences sittin…

> "work somewhere or on something you enjoy" Definitely not true, and a generalization. I've worked at the shittiest of shitty culture game startups in the early 2010s to places th…

I'm tired of the whole "if you're doing x at a startup you're foolish" You only live once, it's amazing to be an engineer now and have all the choices of being able to actually wor…

Doesn't have to have been made with any malice to still be creepy. Because yea, it's creepy.

This. A million times over. I lead the engineering and run the hiring and I too just turn down senior engineers left and right at times. We run about as practical a process as I ca…

People are hinting that it is not strictly required to get what was initially desired done. And that seems 100% true. You do not have to do everything at one time. You can easily t…

Plenty of people, and I mean plenty, like many (I can back up with citations if that is really helpful) a) own their content 100% that they make on their own sites b) definitely re…
