- the_cat_kittlesi genuinely believe the correct response to a post like this is: "shut the fuck up"
- its because it hurts peoples feelings to confront the truth
- maybe this will finally be the solution to my tapered variable pitch helix woes. it looks cool, thanks
- pretty sure the white insulation on the lineset, when exposed to moisture and UV, can create an acid that eats the copper. thats probably what happened
- i bought a mitsubishi minisplit, as well as a lineset, and installation tools (vaccuum pump, valve core removal tool, flaring tool, micron guage, nitrogen, pressure regulator, manifold) and installed it myself after watching several hours of ac service tech youtube videos. it was a little stressful but i saved 8,000 usd and i honestly feel pride every time i turn it on. its worked absolutely flawlessly. i recommend this route if you have the time!
- social skills of hn on display
- what incentive is there for you to post this comment if it isnt going to make you rich?
- all the instances they discussed highlight the contrast between what google presented itself as, vs what it actually was. i dont think this person is asking for sympathy, i think they hate google for trying to pretend its anything different than any other big profit seeking enterprise. sounds like you are well on your way to the hostility the author very succinctly describes
- but then.... how did you say this!?!?!! and how will you answer this question!?!???!???!
- hey why try to do anything ever, people will just find a way around it and it will be worse than if we did nothing. lets make murder legal, fewer people will get killed i guess
- "we demand to be taken seriously!"
- sounds like bit of a death spiral
- taking a helicopter to the top of a mountain is not the same thing as climbing it
- "People who don't look any deeper than the Gini coefficient look back on the world of 1982 as the good old days, because those who got rich then didn't get as rich. But if you dig into how they got rich, the old days don't look so good. In 1982, 84% of the richest 100 people got rich by inheritance, extracting natural resources, or doing real estate deals. Is that really better than a world in which the richest people get rich by starting tech companies?"
this is a really stupid point, even for paul grahm. no one looks back at 1982 as the good old days, and the gini coefficient can be low without enriching oil barrons, and to see this is true, remind yourself that other countries exist.
- ask yourself: "why am i angry about this?"
- can you please listen to yourself? this is babys first day managing software dev level observation. "there will never be a serious business that does those things" ok, i guess well ignore the entire industry then
- yeah, you dont go to alot of meetings, nor are your estimates and timeframes very exact. also, all the stuff that you mockingly said is bad is bad. you say a better comparison for a programming job is a programming job? hmm ok
- this is a perfect comment. you basically have a correct read, and express it pretty succinctly. except, you think by saying it directly, youve exposed it as ridiculous. whats ridiculous about it? just think of software like a trade, how do all tradespeople feel about those things?
