Where do those people live, though?

I don't need a Facebook account to use it.

Norwegian Wood was my favorite.

"But changing gameplay from 2D to 3D had a major impact on overall development cost (we found out a little too late)"

Not to pile on, but this was very surprising to me... how could you not know that this would have a major impact?

I like to use python

"Given how obviously unsustainable this is given the other comments in here"

Huh... I didn't realize HN comments dictated the sustainability of a startup. Who knew we had such power!

Funny thing is, many of the comments pointed out that a streaming service specialized in one culture / genre can be successful (crunchyroll).

I'm not an expert, but it is often claimed that the constitution is a living document, that is, it is designed to be broad and flexible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Constitution

I didn't realize that culture was quantifiable?

Completely agree. I'm just saying it's not a clear cut issue of the public vs. the hotels.

There are legitimate arguments for limiting someone's ability to rent out their living space to short term tenants that have nothing to do with the hotel lobby. As someone who lives in an apartment building with fairly thin walls, I can sympathize with some one not wanting a parade of short term tenants as their neighbor.

Unless you're part of the general public who lives in a desirable area, and your rent is increasing because limited housing is being turned into unregulated hotels.

I should say, I've used AirBnB many times and always had a great experience, but this isn't a clear cut "good" vs "evil" issue.

> Diversity and inclusion should mean including people who don't agree with diversity and inclusion.

This is basically a variant of the argument that is used by religious business owners who don't want to serve gay people... "you are infringing on our right to practice our religion!" they say.

The point being, you have rights, but you don't have the right to infringe on other people's rights.

Although I am personally a fan of Warren, this link... it's purely politics. Not sure if it fits in the HN guidelines for content.

Not a defense, but I feel part of it is due to the value we place in our society in on being busy, see: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-tra...

It's not just in the workplace that we equate being busy with being important.

A more accurate analogy would be "anyone can learn the piano well enough to play in a bar and entertain patrons", i.e. not in the 1% of piano players, but you are good enough to be effective at a job.

Also, I felt that the point of the article isn't that anyone can code, it's that we are discouraging people who COULD have coded.

Can you point to any of those smart people who argue for a sterile gut? I have honestly never heard that, and I've been following news / research (on a surface level) for a couple years.

Haha, possibly. I don't see why they'd send email to an old address, but it definitely shows that I had a different definition of "delete" than they did.

Also, I had some pretty terrible experiences trying to use their API (see: http://fucknolinkedindev.tumblr.com). Thankfully, I stopped developing anything using LinkedIn a couple months before they decided to totally nuke their existing dev resources (http://thenextweb.com/dd/2015/02/12/linkedin-takes-aim-devel...).

I had LinkedIn sending me messages on an email that I had deleted from my account a year prior. It was a bug on their end (edit: or so they claimed), and they fixed it after I talked to customer service, but I've never really trusted them since then.

Yeah, but I'd imagine the number of companies who want to advertise something dwarfs the number of companies doing data analysis.

It's mass market vs niche market.

I really find it hard to believe that firehose revenue would be anywhere close to ad revenue.

Not everything has to fit into a framework of product / consumer.

The point is for Watsi to show the need they are filling. Even in places where we might think healthcare is universal, people end up not being covered due to various social / cultural issues.

I think the problem with these sorts of "connect with people near you" apps is they do a poor job of providing you with a context within which to connect.

If you meet someone at a networking event, or at a bar, there is inherently some common ground or common expectation.

Something like Sonar is context-agnostic: I could be running late to something, hanging out with people I already know, at work, etc. It might be a nice idea in theory to think you are bringing people together, but the real question is do those people want to be brought together at that time in the way you are bringing them together?

I don't know much about the product itself, but this was one of the better postmortems I've read. Well organized.

Overall, I enjoy the redesign, but one criticism... having the secondary nav open above the primary nav bar is very strange. Any reason for this decision?

... why did I not know that this existed until this moment:

For my thesis, I would write paragraphs in a plain text editor, and then insert them into a word document. No distractions while writing, and then all of the formatting / footnoting features when I needed them.

The image of you entering a likely-crowded Apple store and berating a random retail store employee because OS X doesn't support decades old software is pretty hilarious.

I have 4 spaces (or whatever they are called now) to which I assign various applications, each of which can have several windows open, so that's my use case.

I command-tab as well, but I find it useful to have an overview of everything going on, and jump straight to a window (without command-tabbing, then command-tilde'ing depending on the application)

Mission Control and Notifications have made a pretty big difference in my workflow, but yes, I'd agree that the changes are getting smaller over the years.

Why isn't it? I'd say as a markup language, it touches on a lot of computer science topics: data structures, semantics, abstraction, etc. Also, I think it's a great entry point that could lead to an interest more "serious" CS topics.

One of my favorite articles on the social custom of bragging about how busy you are http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-tra...

"Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day."
