I've been working remotely on/off for the past decade and vastly prefer it to commuting to an office. It has afforded me the opportunity to live in a corner of the world that I tru…

I've actually seen your hypothetical in action, but the bug was even more subtle. Assume service A, B and C. A and C both need information from each other which is usually cached. …

Teaching is a skill and like any other skill, it needs practice. I have immense respect for teachers who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft.

Howard Stern makes a risk-free $80M/year for 4 hours of radio 3 days a week. Maybe he could make that much making podcasts, but why risk it ? He's at the tail-end of his career any…

You're being downvoted - maybe because of your tone - but I partially share your sentiment. A good counterexample to "overdistribution", not without its own set of problems, is the…

A car attack killed 6 and wounded 30 in Melbourne in January of this year. Granted, attacks are much rarer in Australia. Part of this is attributable to the population difference: …

You seem very sure of yourself. I'm going to be generous and attribute your confident demeanor to a lack of imagination.

What he's saying is that your cure might be worse than the disease. Nobody knows what the effects of mass-confiscation would have on American society, but the range of possibility …

In areas with strict gun control but access to a black market, mass killings still happen with firearms (see the November 2015 attacks in Paris or the 2017 Quebec City Mosque Attac…

So, your solution is to liquidate a bank that controls 2 T$, employs 265,000 persons and has over 200 B$ in shareholder value? Don't get me wrong, this fraud affected a lot of peop…

Ditto that. I also live in AZ. I'm curious; where in rural Arizona are you based off ?

Genuinely curious here. Can you point me to some of these strengthening exercises ?

It certainly does matter. In terms of texture and taste, white tuna may very well be indistinguishable from escolar for a lot of people. It's still much less desirable than white t…

A comment like this is precisely why I come to HN. This product looks amazing.

I don't mean to nitpick but your explanation is missing a critical detail. The chain of command for operational purposes (military operations) completely bypasses the Joints Chiefs…

You're not insane!

Don't get me wrong, I love AWS. I use ~15 products almost everyday. I actually like how powerful IAM is. But yeah, CloudFormation just sucks. It does. It's painful because it's a r…

I've been in this situation many times. Hit me up at [my username] @ gmail.com if you want to talk.

Not always. A friend of mine works remotely for a financial institution. His manager wanted to revoke his work from home agreement because he wanted to hit a target metric of numbe…
