Thank you. Down voters just did me a huge favor. I'm done contributing here.
What a refreshing response. Even though I can appreciate the value that monetizing a product has for the users of that product (updates and continued support), it’s nice to be reminded that we don’t have to monetize…
For what it’s worth, I’ve been absolutely smoked in 5k races by people who were 40+. Instead of offending those people by implying they don’t have the stamina to keep up, just say no. People respect “no.” No one…
Speaking from experience (lived in Alaska for over 20 years), I would suggest investing in an elliptical. A lot of people make the mistake of slacking on their cardio because lifting gets them to where they want to be…
There are two things in this world that I have no problem with anyone in need stealing - food and music. I will politely look away. When I was a kid I pirated music, as well as music production software. I grew up…
Thank you for sharing. That was a vivid and moving scene.
Right. It's basic. Let me assure you that the future will make it a laughing matter. Edit: brevity
Be wary of generalized advice. Most people suck, and for them that advice is probably sound. But there are diamonds in this world, and when you pass them by they are gone.
Thank you for your hard work. I've enjoyed countless hours meditating while chipping away at blocks that later went towards my castles. Anything further that you choose to release, I thank you again. And thank you for…
Devil's advocate here. If a toddler crawled out of a plastic play house and told you that they would arrest you for one million years if you went into the house, how worried would you be?
The more liars that enter the job market who are unable to deliver on their empty promises, the more valued the people who actually put in the work will become. So go ahead and lie, make my day.

@Anders Hoff, thank you for making your site work just fine with javascript disabled. I really appreciate that.
I'm living it, sadly.
As with most decisions that Apple makes lately, you are correct, it is not a disaster for them. Just like when you stick your middle finger up at another person, usually you won’t personally feel offended by your own…
Sure, but let’s remember that copyright enforcement requires work. Are you going to be the one who goes from car to car, peeling off illegal images of Calvin and Hobbes? Out of the kindness of your heart? How’s that…
Generalizations aside though, you can have a comment removed from HN by the mods if the request is found to be reasonable (i.e. unintentionally disclosing medical history, etc).
When you say that "one should be in control of his/her contributions"... you realize that you are "publishing" these contributions, right? I understand where you're coming from in wanting that control, but I would…
Very similar to the issue I suffer from. If I overhear co-workers discussing a problem within my domain, my brain just goes right on ahead without me and starts chipping away at it. After a few minutes I might find…
Someone should go back in time to inform DaVinci to make sure he refrains from all of that not-engineering work. It’s easy for people to forget that the engineering came first. The students came after. You can argue the…
As opposed to the world that freely admits, “yeah, this sucks.”
Good point. What are people going to do when they’re sitting in their autonomous vehicles? Probably a great time to display an ad for the week’s best selling AR game.
I’ve largely disconnected from email, both work and personal. I guess one day I just smelled another internal phishing campaign and decided that it would be the last I participated in. After that I informed my bosses…
Sounds about as friendly as the time I drove the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks, Alaska on a whim towards the Arctic Circle. Many times along the journey I was terrified that my 1996 Eagle Talon would get stuck in the…
I guess I'll take the bait... why bother putting on the disingenuous facade of pretending like it's DevOps fault when you almost immediately go on to admit that the issue is product management? I feel like someone just…
