That's how any recruiting agency works no ? At least in France it works the same way

Nothing matters as long as a company is growing. You don't have to improve or have the best tech or the best sales or do everything right or have the best culture. The only thing that matter for a company is to grow.

Why banks can not be sued for false advertising ?

A feature doesn't become a problem because 1% have an issue with it (people who use parental control).

The internet is the internet if you want to restrict what people can see on the internet the only solution is to not have access to it at all

Sure and I would recommend they use C to code the backend, they should not use a CDN either to save some bucks. And on the front-end there is no sense to use javascript as everything can be done in the backend

If you need a Rails, why not directly use Rails? For what kind of web application Clojure is better than python or Ruby or nodejs?

Two of the most profitable and innovative companies in the world.

HN first comment :

> Theory on facebook failure/Google failure to innovate

Visa and mastercard can do anything they want as long as they want to do it. They just don't want to deal with porn by choice

They are not the porn regulator. The porn space is much more than pornhub and actually most websites have learnt to live with border legal financing options for a long time. The ceo had probably always wanted to cut out pornhub and this was the perfect moment to deliver his agenda.

Porn is everywhere and there is no way to prevent that.

Me. The initial web 3 (the semantic web) could have killed Google. But it never worked, for ux perspective but also for the offer point of view.

The reality is that Google is trying to auto recognize things that humans could categorize themselves, and without a lot of work. And the owner of the information should not be the only one able to do that. We need more collaboration. The biggest pain is how to create a categorization system that works for everyone. I haven't seen any yet

Upgrades are the biggest pain of Postgres in my opinion. Especially when you want to do zero-downtime upgrades.

That's not riding a bike which is dangerous it is riding in the same zones as cars as the article points out. May people say we shouldn't trust anyone to carry guns, but we allow anyone to drive a car, that's at least as much dangerous.

All the examples of the articles are good, but there are two many to learn and remember. I follow one and only one rule when I ride my bike. Assume you can get killed at every time and do not trust anything.

Sometime I see people wanting to turn left, raising their left hand and then turning without never looking backward to check if the following car is not trying to pass them. These people are crazy and want to die. Always look backward before doing anything else or if a car is approaching.

Many people assume that as a bike rider they have rights and as a result they should be respected by cars, and end up in dangerous situations because of that. Do not trust anything if you want to stay alive

The problem with storage is that it needs to be planned for the worst case. Imagine three weeks without sun nor wind, even if that happens only once every 5 years it should be planned. And the cost of having batteries that can produce energy during 3 weeks is unlikely to be cheaper than nuclear

Even at Apple, plenty of developers run on Linux. I would be surprised - after resisting to use OSX - that they will be ok to create a system that will prevent them from using linux

One day, a nude photo will be considered not much different than a face photo and that day a lot of things in the world will be much easier

We should also have the fight to hold journalists accountable for writing BS. Anything this article talks about can be said about Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Pinterest, VK, Telegram and any company that allow user submitted content.

Never seen anyone injured himself doing a handstand. But running has a high injury rate and still a lot of people find benefit practicing it

The problem with this article, is that it gives the feeling that creating a company is a sequence of logical steps. But that's not the case at all. OP stopped the company because he didnt want to invest his time in working on this problem, and thats a fair decision. But this has nothing do with unfixable flaw or "people sucks" or something like that. Those things are part of any business.

I struggle to understand this move.

Will Notion gains new paying user thanks to Cron ? probably not

Will it helps Notion improve its product ? Yeah probably on the calendar part, but that's only usefull for B2C, and notion focus a lot on B2B no (They even mention the workplace of the future) ?

Is it a acqui-hire ? Then why keep the products separate ?

Even without optimization. Peak HN traffic is in the 20 req per second order of magnitude

It is normal to advocate for your needs but asking for it to be included from day 1 is weird. The same way you don't start a saas app with localization from day one.

I'm not blind so for sure I won't really care about accessibility but honest question why not use an ide developed for blind people instead of using the same as non blind people?

yes

"Unknown Host

Unable to locate the server; the server does not have a DNS entry. "

The issue here, is that OP planned for his house to be destroyed and having is phone OR not having is phone but still having his house. But didn't plan for having his house destroyed AND loosing its phone.

One can still imagine a scenario where you can loose your phone AND your house AND another recovery method etc

Yes but it is the same result, you have to find a new job. And actually fired is probably even worse as you no longer have a job starting today

Already been discussed yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31600505

It is no different than been fired I don't understand the noise it is making

Well here is the conclusion of the post

> Simply put, instead of expecting someone (e.g., product managers) to tell you which product features to develop, you should be able to tell what are the most critical problems your users or product are facing and find the best solutions that fit into your product and engineering strategy.

Is expoding offers worse than being fired on the first day at your job? If not then why does it bring so much hate? At least more hate than just firing people. Honest question

Very HN article. The only job that matter in an organization is developers, product managers are useless, marketing is when you don't have a product, sales people are liars, Support people prevent developers to know the problems and so on.

It's cool sometime to have developers with a product mindset, because they understand better the value they are bringing and can help brainstorming. But first if you had only product-mindset people everyone would want to ship different features and nothing would be shipped. And also the more time developers spend understanding customers the less time they spend coding.

I should probably write a satirical article arguing that "Coding should not be left to developers as product managers should code things much closer from their plan"

Yeah i should have said the second pool chance list https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308

Weird that this post was included in the pool as it gained significant tractions 2 days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31570698
