Everyone is so negative, cynical, and bitter on HN now, it's really sad to me. I went through YC in 2012 and I feel like the community here is unrecognizable, the quality of discou…

Our employees average less than 2 days in the office a week and we had remote work before the pandemic. I myself work from home often. Our situation is different than Amazon obviou…

I don't think OP actually disagrees, the chest pounding rhetoric is likely because they're covering up something deep inside that's saying "I know this is the right move for Amazon…

Your feelings are valid and they're doing this to perform better as a business.

I don't know nearly enough to make a firm claim here but I don't think what you're describing sounds like a definitive counter example. There's a big difference between giving lowe…

Exactly my point, it's not a purely financial decision. It's barely a financial decision.

I think another huge factor is that you are making a prediction on the future value of your degree over the next 40-50 years as a 17 year old who is probably more focused on succee…

you don't really clarify why people should stop flying, I'll assume it's due to global warming? Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea, to simplify the user experience of fly…

that makes sense but it still seems like there is an imbalance on expectations. It reads as they're great and there's not a lot of people as great as they are when in reality it's …

If everyone had a requirement for marriage that you marry someone as smart as you, exactly no one would be married.

Sounds like a people issue

People have free will; market rate is driven by supply, demand and economics of production and revenue. It's similar to people in the US willing to forfeit their financial future t…

Doesn't sound terribly different than how I perceived the actual movie. I often describe Dune as a 3 hour trailer. I didn't hate it due to the visuals and the immersive sound at th…

Frankly I think you're answering your own question when you say "the Fed tends to err on the side of triggering a recession." Yea that's the point, maybe it would be less offensive…

No, that's exactly how they look at it. They see it as they can't really change supply but they can lower demand by removing all purchase power and they look at the recession as a …

The fed pumped interest rates to bankrupt everyone and create a recession to drop demand off a cliff to fight inflation. The recession never came because people have weathered the …

I don't really understand how any crypto is "unregulated money" and it's intrinsically the most tracable money store [Edited for some horrible mobile autocorrect attrocities]

The thing is, you were probably getting offended often but not identifying your emotion, so it comes out in other weird ways. By identifying what was going on internally that you w…

what do you mean by this? that inflation is currently 1% or 10%? it's ~3.5% right now

The mindset is super on the right track, going from working on something polished to "trashy" before validation. It's just not far enough in the not doing work until the idea has s…

It's actually the reverse. The product direction is dictated by the goal (OKR). Our objective is to increase engagement from management which we know we are accomplishing by hittin…

From the actual paper, it looks like what they did was worse than just adding the two and the article is nonsensical >Overall, our results revealed that 68% (23/34) of flavored and…

There's a lot of incorrect math in this article. It says 80% of your revenue will come from 20% of your users then suggests a hypothetical pricing change that results in 43% of you…
