So... just like Upwork is providing an opportunity to 'developer entrepreneurs' who want to code but not handle the other aspects of contract work? Usually platforms like this are …

I tried freelance and realized I hate it more than any other type of programming work. I can tolerate being an employee where I do what I'm told. After a month I get a feel for the…

The gains from GM crops are a lie[1] - most GM crops are made so agri-chemical companies can sell more pesticide for pesticide-resistant crops. Overuse of pesticides is killing all…

What if they’ve already profiled that person and they are in jail already? I think the worry with this new form of authoritarianism is that it will be so good no one will have the …

The US healthcare system is the only system in the world that bankrupts people for receiving medical care. We constantly hear how we’re getting charged many times more than other c…

Have you ever heard the story of Darth Wordpressius? I thought not. It's not a story the HN Council would upvote.

You can be ambitious and still hate everything to do with career tracks and personal development as seen by large corporations. I make sure I work somewhere that isn't too stressfu…

I wonder what the success rate is for their retraining program to turn factory workers into coders. When watching Andrew Yang's Presidential pitch for UBI he said most government r…

Watch some videos of Andrew Yang explain his plan for UBI and how it could work in America. He's the only Presidential candidate that is providing pragmatic solutions to handle a r…

It's completely dependent on the traffic of the site if a spammer takes the time to break a custom captcha. I work on a site with 10 million monthly pageviews and spammers register…

I have a membership to Novel Coworking. The space is awesome and the membership costs a fraction of WeWork. I think it's because Novel actually owns the spaces they lease out so th…

Startup logic... anyone can take on Google or Amazon if their ideas are innovative and good enough.

History remembers the winners - so even though I actually agree with what you're saying about US government economic warfare, the end result was the Venezuelan government turned to…

I wonder if an entrepreneur with less connections and not a part of YC would get that $1 buyout deal. I would think the default would be ousting the founder and selling the assets.…

40 hrs/wk at dayjob, about 20-25 hrs/wk at coworking space working on my startup. I used to only do 12 hrs a week at the coworking space, but what changed for me was I started taki…

No it's not. Right on the homepage they say it can be used for marketing emails including newsletters: https://aws.amazon.com/ses/ If someone has different info let me know... we'r…

I'm in a very similar position and since I also suck at sales I choose B2C over B2B. Selling to businesses directly is hard. Why not first sell to consumers, then have an "enterpri…

YES - I hate Google, their AMP team, or anyone else trying to tell us how to "fix" the web. It used to be innocuous when Google had 20% browser market share, but now they act like …

I agree in general weather and climate are different. But concerning the polar vortex - the jet stream has become more wavy (north & south instead of west & east) due to climate ch…

Since you have options why don't you quit what you're doing, leave the place that you're living, and focus 100% on fixing your quality of life? There are no "right choices." If you…

I think a lot of people in this thread are underestimating the possibility of safety drivers going remote and how that could be a solution to these edge cases. When making decision…

That's expensive if you don't watch much TV. I just watch sci-fi shows and wish I could put my money just towards those types of shows. My perfect subscription would be a mix, wher…

Over the last couple years Google has acted like a dictator on the web. No more autoplay... except if you're Youtube, or these 100 approved sites. If you use Chrome... oh now you'r…
