Where do I edit the hosts file on my iPhone? Or my Android device? Or my smartTV, etc, etc, etc
badbug··on The Untold Story of Otto Warmbier, American Hostage
Never claimed that I knew and no where in any of my posts have I defended north korea.

I'm putting more weight on objective observers. People with scientific backgrounds.

You are putting weight on grieving parents who refused an autopsy and a notorious liar.

badbug··on The Untold Story of Otto Warmbier, American Hostage
The only person claiming that is the family.

"Natural and in good repair" from the American doctor.

The family also refused an autopsy. Weird right?

badbug··on The Untold Story of Otto Warmbier, American Hostage
The author interviewed several experts who claimed he wasn't beaten including people who examined him in person. Sorry this article is critical of your dear leader.
badbug··on Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian
Yeah, a rare glimpse into how these execs actually think. I'm suprised the pr people let this through their filters.
badbug··on Ask HN: Why did you quit your last job?
Not sure there is an effective way to tell your boss he sucks at his job.

Saying it during the exit interview would probably have the most impact.

badbug··on Ask HN: How to be found as a technology co-founder?
What does any of this have to do with learning sales?
badbug··on Ask HN: How to be found as a technology co-founder?
I don't mean to be flippat, but what is there to learn? Certainly there are tips and tricks, and salepeople do possess unique talents. But what is so complicated about calling up potential customers and talking about how your product solves a problem you have?

I think the first step is demystifying it. If you wanted to learn a new programming language, you would just "do it": read books, read about the language, practice writing code, etc.

I'm not saying you have to a Bright Ray of Sunshine all the time. But it might not work out so well of you are the office grouch because it wears people out.

"Perception is reality"

You can be a negative/realist as long as your perceived value outweighs your "bad" attitude. The problem with this is that people are really bad at placing value on soft skills and all it takes is one clueless manager to sandbag you.

Everything op said above is spot on

badbug··on Guidelines for Brutalist Web Design
None of this stuff violates the "rules" defined in the article. This isn't minimalism, it seems to be about making the formatting simple and purposeful.

The sites that do the things you list are horrid because they just throw libraries at the problem.

badbug··on Say Hello to Full Employment
Did you read the article? This isn't progress

"Yet the experience of towns like Ames and Des Moines show that such “labor shortages” might be due to insufficient wages and crummy working conditions — not an unwillingness of workers to switch industries or improve their skills for a job. The trucking industry is instructive here: Trade groups have argued that it is facing a shortfall of 51,000 workers, yet businesses have not yet shown much willingness to cut hours, boost pay, and improve conditions to lure workers in. Indeed, across the economy, companies have shown a remarkable unwillingness to boost wages, with growth barely keeping pace with inflation even as the unemployment rate has dropped to 4 percent"

"more jobs than people" can still be true, even if you don't find your preferred job.

I'm seeing lots of "help wanted" signs. In fast food places. This isn't progress.
badbug··on Mark Zuckerberg and his empire of oily rags
Just basic agenda setting theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda-setting_theory
badbug··on Mark Zuckerberg and his empire of oily rags
He's right and the rest of the article supports this statement. It isn't some magical sci find weapon to instantly control people. But it is bad and is used for agenda setting.

"The media doesn't tell you what to think, it tells you what to think about"
