Remember when memes were lauded as a part of the millennial culture? Now when they are used for something you disagree with, it's seen as 'evil', 'wrong', or 'unethical'. The probl…

Okay, then expect expensive drugs for decades when it costs billions in R and D and the drug companies need to recoup the costs (in addition to the red-tape involved in releasing t…

We also need to talk about government greed. It can cost upwards of 100 million and 10 years to get FDA approval for a new drug on the market. Edit: something is very wrong in the …

This is why I find many of the global warming papers dubious.

My problem is that sexism toward men and segregation is becoming acceptable when the reality is that it will only hurt the cause. The irony is that I'm getting down voted for the w…

like I said, it's all about control. It gives a company like Amazon too much control over your business..especially when it comes to price. Most hosting providers take care of any …

Yes it does. As a business owner, more taxes means less money for employees (and less employees hired). People that don't understand taxes never consider this and immediately think…

I would rather see 'ask an engineer'. Gender doesn't matter and does not reflect engineering ability or experience. If we want gender equality (or any equality for that matter), we…

I watched the first couple of episodes and had to stop. The 'I'm special and nobody understands me' theme was incredibly derivative. Being an uber liberal-minded hacker in the US t…

Many people here don't realize what it costs a business, in taxes, to employ someone. I think if more people realized this, we would have less people demanding a $15 pay-raise for …

'serverless' apps are not really 'serverless'. You are just allowing another company to run the actual server infrastructure. While this might be good for large companies, it's dan…

I don't like these types of boxes because many of the people that get it think they can set it and forget it. When security updates fail in the background (or they know nothing abo…

I did this in Asia for a year. If you can find a stable enough Internet connection (which costs a lot more in Asia), you will need to be very disciplined to actually get anything d…

Friendship needs to be earned, or it won't really mean anything. Bullying is a terrible thing and needs to be stopped, but this will do little to help out the person being bullied …

I feel like many startup founders, including Patrick, build the technology and hope the business will follow...usually with an unsuccessful outcome. He's great at marketing. He sho…

5 years of 1 year experience repeated 5 times is better than someone that will introduce spaghetti code and security flaws simply because they've never experienced it. It takes yea…

I disagree. Aside from an entry level position, you want someone with previous experience. Google wouldn't hire someone to manage their datacenter with no previous experience manag…

of course not. People with $500+ limit will automatically be charged for the $5000 in damages they caused. It's all about risk and accountability.

It's cool to shit on Trump..but the media bias is astounding to me. I don't think I've seen one article linked on HN that shows all of the terrible things Clinton has done.

This works for small projects that only you touch. However, if you are building a product for a company and plan on having teams make changes to the code base, frameworks are the w…

"It is a future in which my loved ones and all of those who reared and mentored me will be recognized as first-class citizens deserving of the very best America has to offer, not a…

What ever happened to personal responsibility? It's something that needs to be instilled in our youth before they ever get to college. I know at least 3 people that knowingly got P…
