$1.5k is a significant expense for your organization? A $250 ad listing is a lot for your organization? I'm sorry, but this sounds very strange from someone claiming to know about …

Obtaining compromising video and/or audio of you or someone you care deeply about will often be more than enough to obtain things like banking information and file access.

> We do the usual 5 or 6 questions But what metric are you determining that those 5 or 6 questions are correct? For example, have you put together a pool of current workers that ar…

This is quite a stretch drawing a line between a feudal lord and a land lord. Most landlords simply purchase, or very often inherit, their property, not unlike feudal lords, and th…

So Robert Shiller is not fully versed on the topic, in your opinion? > The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a feudal lord who installs a cha…

The current data we have about hiring practices seem to disagree with you. So either, this process is not as expensive as you think it is, or companies believe it is less expensive…

I find it strange, as software developers, that we discuss the effects on automation all the time, but no one seems to understand that automation has made searching for new employe…

No. The literal definition of the economic drag on value creation is "rent seeking". Be a part of the solution and build something. Do not be a part of the problem and become a lan…

This is one of those interesting bits where things feel more like personality types as opposed to ways to create maintainable software. I have yet to see a project fail because com…

The reason the advice "be yourself" exists, and also why older people tend to be the ones expressing it, is that the danger in not being yourself is that you may wake up one day in…

Considering(from professional experience) how much vote manipulation occurs on online forums like HN, I'm certain no companies with sites like HN will ever implement that. I know p…

Health problems due to a childhood of inactivity and obesity? Behavioral issues in young males without a physical outlet for aggression? I'm not sure what type of childhood you had…

Especially since HN skews male and the success of a dating app is dependent on it's ability to onboard female users. Which is also why this won't be successful. Female users overwh…

I feel as though this piece is a bit alarmist, but I'm curious if we are approaching the first big test of these ownership structures of public companies where the founder(s) maint…

I have several friends that make $10+ per downvote on HN. So my guess is that the fastest way to get downvotes is to write something that someone with a marketing budget wants to r…
