Alternatively maybe they had been working on the idea for awhile and it was just a coincidence. Bringing an idea to the table that they were already working on might also hurt your…

Why does your faith trump someone else's personal belief? That is, why does faith, which is a belief without any proof, often with proof to the contrary, trump a belief that might …

I'm not seeing anything, but I'm on mobile. Does it only work on desktop? That seems like a pretty big deterrent to using it if so.

Yeah, but are the decreased amount of police calls due to Target's loss prevention officers (and other such prevention mechanisms), or is it simply due to the fact that they cater …

Response to flippant answer: I'm pretty sure the only thing Target figured out is to cater to a higher income demographic. I'm curious if there were less disturbances before Walmar…

Well, despite using the term progressive, the poster I replied to was not emphasizing progressive taxes, because he used an analogy where everyone literally pays the same amount. I…

When two people order a steak, regardless of their income, they get the same thing. On the other hand, one of the largest services a government offers its citizens is protection of…

Asking to be paid during an interview seems too much but a 4-8 hour interview doesn't seem too much? The average interview length across all industries is 40 minutes. Asking interv…

I think the distinction being made is the value of the stock vs the value of the company, which is not always perfectly in sync. That's why, at any given time, a stock can be under…

The problem is that virtually all of the screen time studies don't apply to tablet usage as they were studying the effects of passive screen time such as watching tv. People have a…

I still want a citation.

The page is blank for me. I see the header and footer but no content. Browsing on iPhone safari.

Site doesn't appear to be loading right now. Can anyone tell me what the site does? Thanks.

You're thinking of a very specific type of investment. Investment in the more generic form simply means putting in time, money, and/or effort in the hopes of some future reward. In…

I would advise not to iterate based off a single customer. Despite being a customer, I think there is still too great a chance that she isn't in the startup's target market. This g…

And based on the second article I posted, you also need to make sure you don't look uncomfortable while stating that you are exercising your right to remain silent.

Except sometimes your silence will be used against you: http://www.npr.org/2014/10/05/353893046/you-have-the-right-t... http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudenc…

It matters because he specifically mentions that the team "didn't want to have to make a business justification everytime someone wanted to fork a repository".

Django Baker Adds a management command that generates views, forms, urls, admin, and templates based off the contents of models.py. It's a bit like Rails scaffolding, but less magi…

Yes but at least everyone, for the most part, would be in agreement to what constitutes proper use and misuse of the buttons, which we don't have now. More importantly, the votes c…

No, the reply function is for when you have something meaningful to add. If all you have to say is "I agree/disagree" or "your comment was useful/not useful", the reply function is…

Up/Down voting on HN and most other sites makes me think of the Yo app, where there are simply too few choices to express what you wish to say. A simple solution which I doubt will…
