disappointing to see so many “hacker” news comments complaining about lack of credentials or system-specific expertise. yes, existing government systems are insanely complex - that…

Well, it’s a good start anyway.

There's absolutely no reason companies can't issue options that automatically convert from ISOs to NSOs after the 90-day period, and leave the NSOs on the table for ten years. Ther…

A good place for the under-appreciated CSS ‘clamp’ function!

Hey, great questions! I'm on the Filecoin team (but not the proofs/cryptography team, where the root answers to some of your questions lie). Let me try a first pass and tap out for…

Potentially dumb question: how do cheats even work in a game like LOL? I understand aimbots in a FPS and how they can give a pure mechanical advantage, but the LOL equivalent isn’t…

For what it’s worth - there’s definitely no speed up, for me at least, to ship a pure handwritten HTML + CSS page vs the same page using create-next-app. The latter makes it trivia…

Fortunately, it works perfectly as-is and could probably do so for many years with minor security updates.

Everyone likes to pile on WeWork, and I get it, but as someone who dealt with both startup and solo office leases in the pre-WeWork era: my God is WeWork's model comparatively amaz…

Sounds like an opportunity to help him get those things at work and mutually benefit the engineer and the team -- or, since he's already "essential," to acknowledge that he's doing…

Since they added local testing support with `now dev`, I've enjoyed working with Zeit Now ( https://zeit.co/now ) pretty well. They have the easiest testing story amongst lambda pl…

Many startups are a grind, and I'm not trying to reinforce unrealistic expectations of overnight success. But I'm curious: are there examples of startups going from tiny to extreme…

The only car manufacturer that even offers full priced refunds, and this narrative is that sometimes the refunds don't go smoothly. Weird angle.

@ianjdarrow from the linked thread here. To clarify a little – the idea isn’t that Filecoin would ever tell anyone they have to remove data of any type. Filecoin is open-source sof…

This isn't something to be proud of. Time-based advancement is a lazy, outdated system. Folks have wildly different levels of talent coming in, and develop at different paces throu…

Are you talking about red flags from an investor or an employee perspective? Hard to argue with the latter, as it's completely personal, but I'm also from flyover country and I dis…

So an exchange like you'd see for stocks or commodities, but for specific real-world goods?

Slow HN is a Hacker News aggregator that allows for easy user-defined throttling of post updates. I love HN, but frequently find myself mindlessly refreshing the page throughout th…

Or maybe Tesla's "image and vision" stem from its founder's tendency to completely ignore sideline commentary on non-substantive issues and focus on product.

This is far from true. Client-side crypto at least gives you the ability to inspect outgoing network traffic. This should help to keep site operators honest. The site operator can …
