I began working at Nokia after they sold the phone business. It's not a place where people were just clocking in and out; there ws a strong effort and opportunity (born of necessit…

The point of the comparison is not about placement on a front page (I could complain the NYTimes won't publish my article anywhere on their server), but rather that Apple created a…

The US Postal Service is not a company.

I stayed in a house in nice residential neighborhood in Berkeley recently. It had four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen, and it was clear the owner didn't live there. In fact…

"Women compete, compare, undermine and undercut one another — at least that is the prevailing notion of how we interact." This is written as if men don't do exactly the same thing …

It's an outrage. I recently submitted an incoherent, hate-filled diatribe to the New York Times, and they refused to publish it on the front page! Where is my freedom of speech? I …

I predicted Twitter would be the next unicorn to cut staff and offices ten days ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10300002 ). To be honest, I didn't think it would happen …

I don't expect it to disappear (not completely, not over night). But they're burning through $130M+ a quarter and growth is stalling. They don't seem to have leadership with a visi…

Tesla will use Google autonomous-driving technology? Does Google really want to be manufacturing cars, or does it want to provide the software?

Brevity is the only thing most Tweets have going for them.

You're underestimating the awesomeness of the human brain to tackle big problems. I want to be drunk, watching movies, pleasuring myself in the backseat of an autonomous Uber durin…

Emergency steering wheel app.

Another prediction: Twitter. 2k+ engineers on staff without notable improvements to the core user-facing product in a while. Declining signups, declining engagement. Nobody steppin…

> Lots in the East Coast (ok, NYC) Lots in Boston, too.

> WhatsApps product is much, much simpler than twitters products. Can you enumerate Twitter's products? Perhaps Instagram is a closer comparison -- broadcast photos instead of broa…

If you're accused of working on stupid, trivial things, and Facebook and Twitter are your best counterexamples, it's a little pathetic. It's very easy to conflate making a lot of m…

Slightly off topic, but what library do you use for networking with React? Almost every code sample or tutorial uses jQuery's AJAX methods. Bundling jQuery seems excessive when jus…

I'm curious to know how complex your React app is. I'm just starting to integrate Redux (and possibly Immutable) into my app, and initially I'm a bit surprised by how Redux can mak…
