Japan, like Germany, is a society that has been bombed into submission. They went straight from feudal society into Empire mode. There's nothing particularly peaceful about their history. 60 years ago they sure didn't…
Thanks for explaining America, captain obvious. I said "What's funny" because it's supposed to be a joke.
What's funny is most of the people in Indiana ... are German.
I've been here for years, they kept deadbanning my original accounts because I say things people disagree with. I imagine it'll happen again fairly soon. By the way, your average karma is kind of low, you might want to…
Is Vanity Fair really the best place to air this kind of grievance against wealth and decadence?
This kind is logic might work with coca cola stock but it certainly doesn't with apple. How do you measure the roi of a Mac Pro?
So what if they call you lazy? Are you going to stop getting invited to the parties they are too busy studying to go to?
You can get any of the sauces they put in the burgers on the side to dip your fries into also. On a related note, I recently at at 5 guys and it was 2x as expensive and about 1/2 as good as in-n-out. Anyone who says…
Continue running my company, probably.
Cognitive dissonance of realizing a lowly engineer (you know, something those immigrants do) can make more than an attorney. Apparently he wasn't paying attention during the last 20 years.
I hear people whine about their VPS hosting costs at the same time as enjoying $100 of booze and cheese at the bar.
I swear half of the web is just re-implementing stuff like IRC and finger and ytalk that have been around for nearly a quarter century. Wish I had realized this 10 years ago.
They do, but camouflage themselves as private equity firms.
Even small-scale stuff that nobody writes articles about like putting a personal guarantee on a 2-year commercial office lease or a line of credit qualifies as sacrifice and is actually quite risky. I'd offer a small…
Do you have an e-mail address? I think we can help you out - I run a managed hosting company and would like to offer you some help as a member of the HN community.

Glad they chose 'pipe' over 'hose'.
I would also add - sometimes a smart person just doesn't give a damn about impressing others. When I deliberately dis-engage in uninteresting conversations with "smart people" I can see them judging me immediately.…
They generally remember to shower every so often Oh, come on.
So people are voluntarily buying and putting tracking devices on their wrists to update Mark Zuckerberg with their location in real time?
Somebody should make one for pictures of corporate stock art. You know, the glass skyscraper shot, the white-guy-wearing-glasses-standing-over-laptop, the empty board room with leather chairs, etc...
Those people aren't creating a startup in a weekend, they're creating a web app in the weekend. There's a big difference. Web apps don't need legal structure, a brand identity, customers, revenues, profits, hell they…
A private office is very different than working from home, I'm not sure why that's the same option.
In school (UC system) I met people who are now doctors, CPAs, attorneys, investment bankers, top engineers, scientists, and various PhD candidates. I also learned that their parents are a variety of very accomplished…
Not sure that really matters. They offer a service, it was down, there was a shitty response. This is an indictment of the response to the downtime, not the fact that downtime occurred. Downtime occurs in every computer…
