hiei··on September 11, 2001 media synced in real-time
PBS Frontline had documentary outlining this exact path. Would recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5iBxva_pm8
hiei··on The Real Story of Pixar
What kind of work was he doing for them to try to sell to him? Same with the job interview?
hiei··on J. Kenji López-Alt is Seattle’s reluctant powerful food influencer
Huge Kenji fan. Probably not the first to do it but his no commentary Go Pro first person cooking videos are quite addicting.
hiei··on Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally
Not sure where you're getting the idea a procurement person is making any sort of buying decisions for enterprise products within a business.
hiei··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
Reddit is still a good alternative, a lot of hate groups were banned, various watchpeopledie, piracy subreddits sure. What subreddit bans led you to this belief?
hiei··on Show HN: Turn your “read later” folder into a physical book
I use instapaper and sent it all to my kindle. Read in the evenings or on flights (pre covid)
hiei··on Tables: Tracking work for teams
Back in the day I would definitely be one of those early Google adopters, just to try the product. I don't bother anymore
hiei··on Comparison of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and GDPR [pdf]
CCPA is certainly a headache at work and brought in consulting to assist but I hope it spreads beyond California and more! As a consumer I want to be able to opt out of any/all data collection related to my personal details. Fully support it regardless of the "costs" it brings to the company. Data should have been regulated from the get go.
hiei··on 16-inch MacBook Pro
Where did you get yours upgraded? I have a 2014 Macbook Air but I'm thinking most 3rd party shops won't touch an Air for upgrades
hiei··on Saudi sovereign-wealth fund backs Travis Kalanick’s new startup
Not to nitpick but it's almost a half a billion dollars.
hiei··on I Was the Fastest Girl in America, Until I Joined Nike
No dietician? That's honestly shocking for a "program" coming out of Nike.
hiei··on Men Who Still Love Fight Club
It has been such a long time since I've seen it, may need to watch again soon. That being said I have heard similar things about their fanbase - but regarding the author comment. What do you mean? What did he do?
hiei··on Influencer Nation: 86% of Young Americans Want to Become One
If consumers engage with these influencer/brand combos we'll certainly see a new wave of younger influencers enter the social media game. With how young folks are getting on the internet too definitely shapes their consumer habits. I am a millenial and have felt similar "connections" to content creators back when podcasting hit off (Diggnation comes to mind). I used to consume everything Kevin Rose/Alex Albrecht because I thought their lives and ideas were so cool. Now nearing my 30s I realize I was imagining my own startup pipe dreams. Can't help but think this is amplified with younger folks consuming daily vlogs, instagram stories and more. Interesting thing to study in the future, for sure.

hiei··on Ask HN: How does your company get better?
Sometimes you can't. Many folks do not actually care what they do for work. It's a paycheck. To give you a better answer: documentation. The biggest headache people can have onboarding is not knowing where to access simple information or how to do their job properly.
hiei··on Google Buys Fitbit for $2.1B
Could you share more? Perhaps some example or products?
hiei··on Nautilus to be acquired by an investor group of fans
Larry Summers, 71st Secretary of the Treasury, former Chief Economist of the World Bank, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus, Harvard University.

this is the guy who was just featured in that article on bill gates rubbing elbows with Jeffrey Epstein.

hiei··on Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die
Warehousing/Distribution industry without budgets for proper ERPs or inventory management.
hiei··on Stealing Ur Feelings
ah I misread OP, thought we were discussing something else.
hiei··on Reflections on My Career at Microsoft
I would agree on the consumer level, enterprise not so much. Making big moves in ERP space among other places.
hiei··on Reflections on My Career at Microsoft
He's not going to name names. Those lifers in MS probably know who he's talking about, he did name products as well. Those folks can infer. Ra-ra feminist piece? Think we're reading different things. What he said regarding women rings true.
hiei··on Stealing Ur Feelings
What do you mean by rate limited?

Scroll down to "dual learning"

hiei··on McKinsey: Half the World’s Banks Too Weak to Survive Downturn
True. Pretending to know and being confident is half the battle though. "Managing Expectations." Useful skills imho
hiei··on Sleep Deprivation in NBA Players
Consider getting them to wear anti blue light glasses. Just search Blue Light Blocking Glasses on amazon.
hiei··on Show HN: Yack – Community Browser for Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube and More
I'd be interested if this were browser based.

hiei··on Lambda School fined $75k by CA for operating without state approval [pdf]
Lambda employees always do PR damage on HN. Had commented about a poor experience of mine and was told to reach out via email, no response ever. They're all talk.
hiei··on Strava cuts off Relive
First time I've learned of Relive and it's really too bad - this looks like a fun integration to use alongside Strava. I was already thinking of how I could have used this with my dad and us share rides from states apart. Watch Strava copy Relive features in next 6 mo.
hiei··on Getting people to buy imperfect produce
This service is great if you are constantly cooking and/or consuming the entire box. It became difficult to keep up with orders and 2-3 boxes went to waste. I stopped after realizing exactly what I wanted to consume and just went to store when I needed it. It was great in that I lived next to a store. Felt like I was "contributing" by using this service but it appears as other commenters have said that this food normally did not go to waste in the first place.
