commenter1··on Ask HN: How do I 3x my performance?
Start keeping a notebook how long tasks take, like morning routine 06-06:10. This simple trick makes you understand how much time you waste. At least it did for me. I doubt you can get 3x performance with a full time school, work & family though. Delegating family stuff doesn't work for most of us.
commenter1··on Show HN: HeyFromTheFuture – Advice people wish they had at your age
One does not have to retire to a first world country. Seriously, why would you even want to retire to USA? Health care, which old people tend to use, is stupid expensive.
commenter1··on Oceans 'soaking up more heat than estimated'
How about travel by plane? Are you willing to do that?
commenter1··on What to say when recruiters ask you to name the first number
Give a number, if they don't accept it, leave. If I want to play games, I go to an arcade.
commenter1··on New York Times Co. Reports $24M Profit, Thanks to Digital Subscribers
Why would anyone pay for news is beyond my understanding. I pay for things I enjoy, not things that make my blood boil.
commenter1··on Dungeons Tome – Tool for generating dungeons for RPGs
Very nice, I made one for our D&D group.
commenter1··on Both in rich and poor countries, universal health care brings huge benefits
I'd much rather pay for healthcare, infra or basically what ever benefits us, the society, than for the war industry.
commenter1··on Chinese Workers Who Assemble Designer Bags in Italy
Please, enlighten us. How is it good for the economy to take in a massive influx of people who can't read even their own language? What Sweden has, is a huge population of people who's only income is from the state and that is not going to change. If GDP growth is the key to the kind of "economic growth" we want, why are we not just taking tens of millions of said people? Without the welfare state things would be different, people would actually have to be useful/productive and pay for their own lives. Too bad that is not going to happen before the system crashes.
commenter1··on Steve Wozniak on why he is leaving Facebook [video]
Good for him, but why should I care what he does?
commenter1··on My daughter's disabled. Please don't look away from her
The problem is, I don't smile to people I don't know. I've sometimes smiled to babies, but then afterwards I think "Why did I do that?". If I started smiling and waving to disabled people, that would be me treating them differently than I do other people. I think that's the last thing disabled people want.
commenter1··on Under 'Kenyan Time,' You're Expected To Arrive, Oh, Whenever
I don't mind waiting, just be prepared to pay for the hours I wait.
commenter1··on The man who can't face the internet
Indeed, it almost makes me want to hire him, take his picture and share it with the world.
commenter1··on How Sea Shepherd lost battle against Japan’s whale hunters in Antarctic
No. It's stupid attacking the ships. Go after the people and their families. (Don't actually do that, but that's how you get things to change - make it personal.)
commenter1··on When should behaviour outside a community have consequences inside it?
You probably wouldn't hire ex-cons either, because, you know, you don't want to appear welcoming criminals.
commenter1··on Ask HN: Why don't websites show password requirements at the login screen?
None of the pages I host have any password requirements. Well, one, you have to have a password. One char is enough. Some might wonder why would you do that, but why would you force people to make complicated passwords if the site in question doesn't have anything worthwhile to steal? Like one of my sites is a tv guide, why would I want to force my users to use +8 character passwords? Pure stupidity.
commenter1··on Redoing all my home networking
Because why wouldn't you drop multiple grands on NUCs to encode your DVDs.
commenter1··on Advice from a 19 Year Old Girl and Software Developer
The degree rule by me: Get one if its required to work on the field e.g. MD or if it's too hard for you to learn on your own e.g. math.

Spending money you don't have on a degree you don't probably never need is silly. You can learn history, women's studies and all that jazz on your own if you only put the time in.

commenter1··on Skype Vanishes from App Stores in China, Including Apple’s
Western countries should put up same kind of laws just for Chinese companies.
commenter1··on Old School Copywriting for New School Businesses
I'm not a marketing person, but even I know that everything you or your company does is PR for the company. Then people put up stupid slides like this. In 2 minutes time, this company lost me. That's one hell of an achievement. You're in marketing, at least act like a semi-professional.
commenter1··on Expanding Signal GIF search
Why?
commenter1··on This NYC chess hustler makes $400 a day
Wonder if he pays taxes.
commenter1··on Twitter’s multi-million dollar US election pitch to RT
I don't get it, please explain what do you mean.
commenter1··on My personal site is a terminal
I guess it works as an art project, but as a website, it's a complete failure.
commenter1··on How to Get 100/100 Google Page Speed Score with Middleman and Nginx
You can always not accept such clients. Why make life harder than it already is?
commenter1··on The war to sell you a mattress
This just proves it: the worst thing a company can do is to underestimate the stupidity of its customers.
commenter1··on I Quit Facebook
I never joined any social media site, but you don't see me making useless blog posts about it.
commenter1··on Facebook takes down thousands of posts, obscuring Russian disinformation
As much as your mother is supporting the American disinformation campaign by spawning you.
commenter1··on Accenture left a huge trove of highly sensitive data on exposed servers
Paint me surprised, not.
commenter1··on Black and Latino representation in Silicon Valley has declined, study shows
I started a sports betting company that turned into an analytics company. We had zero women or minority (other than asian) employees or even applicants. One new employee became vocal about it, so he was made our "diversity officer". He was made part of our recruiting division and was present in every interview. We got one (white) woman employee. She quit soon after joining. Now there is an opening for a "diversity officer" inside the company. No takers yet.
