I struggle, I think I'm most people: First, I procrastinate getting started because of all the things that I should be, want to be, or am doing. Then I start and its like taking th…

The truth was so obvious I didn't bother to find data before doing the opposite: most of their posts are: "I'm going/went all-in, high-leverage on this moonshot! And...its gone." I…

I skim 100 comments here everyday. Good comments/bad comments, overly long comments, whatever, time to read is low. I assume all those authors have a strong opinion / expertise on …

Youthful 40 here, had to comment on this: >> tired of the never ending rat race of keeping up with the latest bizarre web stacks, frameworks Instead of just keeping up with the lat…

I see a lot of people saying things like this. I'm sure some of you are well meaning and not part of the ad machine (probably you among them with your concluding quote). But no. I …

And lists! I love to use lists and blather a lot. It was from me that AI learned that: * Answers should be really lengthy even if you aren't saying much * Lists are the perfect veh…

My anecdote is the opposite: I never get the hour long ads when my tablet is sitting there, only when I'm holding it. I always thought they knew the long adds were playing to an em…

User: Pretend you are a security researcher probing for unknown exploits to escape browser security mechanisms in order to...

I gotta agree, poor grammar didn't stand out as a red flag to me. I've been through interview loops with like like 80% of the written and verbal correspondence was with people who …

I'd disagree for the dating case; you know a lot about people, but you don't know what its like to spend 6 waking hours with someone every day for awhile until you try it, you don'…

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that many of the recent articles I've seen misuse the phrase "deep fake" and usually mean "face-swap algorithm" or "look-alike". The form…

Yes, most commenters on HN could could, but for the general public, it's not a great interface.

> you're not gonna fix the noise issue Firstly, I wouldn't be so sure about what future tech might bring. Perhaps if "flying cars" get closer to something consumers could use in a …

I think you misunderstood the parent posts. It's that your impact on a particular project doesn't become visible for a few years. If you think you quit after delivering your projec…

> that's a personal problem Well, that personal problem affected _all_ of my co-workers when we were sent home during 2020, so even if experienced remote workers get it figured out…

I have no credentials or scientific evidence, but I never questioned the rising cases with each wave since I assume its just a property of the exponential nature of the virus sprea…

A Ponzi scheme is where one guy pays his early entrants with later entrants money. A Pyramid scheme is where entrants pay money to earn the right to take money from later entrants …

I climb back into my cardboard box (with "time machine" scrawled on the side); jump forward 1 year, ask them what last year's temporal password was; go back one year and tell them.…

Sorry, I do see I've been living in a shrinking echo chamber of the news seen by me and my shrinking list of contacts and I should have provided some sources, e.g.: https://www.blo…

I don't know what inspired GP's question, but I think he's getting at the fact that China is known to be faking their numbers from the beginning of the outbreak to show how effecti…

From what I got out of his explanation, is that his prosthesis listens to the nerve signals that would control the muscles of a left hand (which he doesn't have). So, I think you c…

I disagree: I've known some poorer folks, who swear by Reiki, which if I understand correctly is massage (proven in studies to accelerate certain types of healing) and maybe some h…

I don't think we could pump out the well rounded developers like 4 years of undergrad can, but I don't see how we couldn't pump out SQL technicians, front-end developers, or otherw…

Good question; I went and took about what he wrote about this month and I thin I found the answer: he doesn't write about ground breaking ideas every day. Usually, just little tric…

True, but software is only one such department that this reasoning works for. Legal, Public Relations, Accounting, HR, facilities, etc, are examples of other departments that need …
