>Are you really suggesting that the reason 43% of South African youths are unemployed is because they're lazy? Not at all, it's structural problem. I've seen this in LA as well and…

I know on a personal level the best thing you can ever do is avoid people like this. LA, my hometown is full of people who simply don't want to do anything. They have a nasty tende…

Babble. The weird transpilation system constantly breaks. I guess maybe one day they'll be better tooling around this, but it's not there yet. And I've worked with node in some cap…

I've built multiple JavaScript project at scale, and I would never trust it over java or C sharp. JavaScript allows you to make way too many mistakes. I do think Dart is the best o…

The issue is you'll have to ask for credit card numbers in order to prevent abuse, so you're not really giving anything away. I would still evaluate anything you call free as I wou…

How big of a team do you have. Even if it's from your personal funds, if you're maybe paying a few contractors $10,000 a month, that's still an investment.

Okay, if I send you a study from buygold.net predicting the imminent collapse of the US dollar, wouldn't you be a little skeptical ?

I wouldn't trust a study like this unless it comes out of a university, or a government agency like OSHA. The unions just lost a major fight to try and get into Amazon's warehouses…

>union-backed study In other words an overtly bias source.

There are downsides to eating Oreos, but we don't need articles which state obvious facts. Much wrong has been done in this country by telling people their behavior is a moral. As …

Why not let everyone do what they want? I hate these moralizing articles, if we have a drunk driving problem then write an article about that. But if people want to drink in their …

>they can’t afford to house people for free or shoulder the country’s massive rental arrears, which could be as high as $70 billion. I think the eviction moratorium wasn't thought …

Oh I'm in full agreement, this is one of the many reasons I left la. Once I went to car free I got rid of about 25,000 in credit card debt in 6 months or so. Much of why so many Am…

I've had to commute an hour 30 before. If you're in an expensive city, like LA you're very likely to have this. It's stressful, expensive and dangerous. I'm really hoping work from…

I had a starling Revelation today. People just don't read anymore, instead they buy a book so they can take some photos for Instagram and then shove it under a couch or something. …

100% unless you have another offer or otherwise don't need the job, don't counter. Don't let perfect become the enemy of good.

What's the unique value proposition here ? You can get an e paper hat for a raspberry pi zero and accomplish the same thing.

Ironically I can't even read this due to the login wall. I hate the social media aspect of LinkedIn so much. I don't want to validate you , I don't think physical appearance was an…

Back when I was 19 I learned you could steam vegetables in a rice cooker, you can actually live very cheaply if you don't eat meat. I think I probably spent about $10 a day on food…

I'd pay for HN to be honest. But just talking about society on the internet isn't really worth while to me. More people should focus on themselves. I've long accepted no one cares …

I find stack overflow to be the absolute best resource for experienced software engineers. However for anyone who has less than 10 years of experience, it's outright hostile. If yo…

Couldn't Tesla agreed to pay out 4 weeks of salary instead.

I've moved cross country a few times, and for the most part it always makes more economic sense to throw everything out and buy it again. Now I'm planning on traveling abroad and I…

I actually left a job once because not only was the code bad, but my manager wanted me to effectively lie to make him look better. Ran out as soon as I could. In general it's worth…
