Because it gets old listening to the same tired uninformed troupes from some random person on the internet that is just regurgitating misinformation. For people that actually live …

That does not mean the funds did not come from overseas. It is common that it will be passed through a local resident, by way of LLC, for the actual purchase.

Stop it.

Stop it. Do you live in San Francisco? I don’t mean the Bay Area. Do you actually live in San Francisco? Why did Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland see very similar percentage based …

On the topic of polite society, please be mindful that the word “entitlement” is often used to attack and harm others emotionally. It might be more inclusive to chose something lik…

I think this is a strange thing to hear from being a bit older. 30-40 years ago, most people did not spend their time reading the paper and watching TV. There was vastly more time …

Idk. I think your comment sums up a general change that internet based interaction has created. I used to think it was generational but now I think it has more to do with spending …

It very much was the point. Thank you.

Considering the Dutch created modern slavery and the modern concept of destroying entire cultures for profit via passive capital investment, I’m not sure the Dutch are great shephe…

This is trumpeted around and actually put into production every once in a while. The reason opaque pagination is an antipattern is because you can’t optimistically fetch resources.…

I always make a copy and then share that when I’m ready. This is the only method I’m aware of to remove history.

We’ve seen Facebook employment ads already used to specifically target younger people. It’s more about excluding people from advertising as opposed to including. If you think of it…

I don’t know if you can still delete this, but this is way too specific and way too many people read HN for your co-founder to not see this. I would email dang at hn@ycombinator.co…

The reason this is happening right now is because the other founder is well aware of that cliff and losing 10% going forward.

>I don't always need to have n+1 layers in my architecture where all the layers just call the next layer anyway. This is by far the most common thing I’ve seen consistently in espe…

This is because, at least in California and New York, jaywalking is not a crime. It is a civil infraction. This means there is no criminal record or court/jail time. It’s a ticket …

To be honest, I don’t think most people that have been working for startups for more than fives years even think much about their stock options unless they are like engineer no 1 o…

This is kind of what fair trade certification tries to address. The issue is that a company like Apple will require in the contract certain things like wage minimum or environmenta…

Yes. Significantly different. Do you realize that metropolitan areas in US are not even 50% white or Christian or likely any of the other stereotypes people have of the US outside …

I believe it misses the fact that there are very different cultures within Washington or Texas. For example, Austin is very different from Houston and even north Houston is very di…

That isn’t really accurate. There is much more diversity in individual states depending on where you are than in most European countries. That statement is kind of what I mean. I d…

I definitely think Europeans and others from homogeneous or smaller countries struggle to understand the variety and diversity of culture of the United States.
