I really love the dinosaur, and the animations are cool.

I'm not a designer in any way, so don't take my opinions very seriously, but here are my thoughts:

I found it non-obvious that the homepage wasn't all there is. Maybe the link text for "adventure" should be something different.

FORUMS looks like a header to me, with the posts underneath it. I see now that it takes you to the full forum, but I'm not sure what's going on with the dyslexia stuff beneath it.

The word 'back' on the navigation on the right could maybe be more descriptive depending on what page you're on.

As for Clojure, if you have any more specific questions, stop by #clojure on freenode on irc, everyone's super helpful. I'd be glad to help with anything more specific as well. I don't know how much you know, but compojure and ring are the goto tools to get started with web dev in clojure.
You're willfully ignoring what the situation actually is.
The NSA dedicates most of its resources to "working smarter not harder." If they have discovered a weakness in AES, it could be as little as running a single executable on a Macbook Air.
Disagree. Don't atrophy your ability to care just so you can get Internet points.
I guess I'm not seeing how game theory doesn't day both sides want a "dead hand" device. It's a commitment scheme.
Firefox had to become successful before Google's payments would make a difference. Google didn't front Mozilla the money to develop a browser.
I think the primary reason that people here are so negative about it is that they personally aren't living authentically, that is to say true to themselves. If you're not living authentically yourself, an encounter with authenticity in someone else will bring up bad feelings, and so the default response will be to come up with all sorts of reasons to shame the other person.

This was one of the best things I've read on Medium. I liked the writing, I liked the emotion, I liked the imagery, and I liked the self-reflection. It's true that stories of angst over leaving the corporate world are nothing new, but the execution was good. It was particularly interesting to hear about her experience at Google in that light, given their cachet as the be-all and end-all of big corporate tech employers.

She's lucky she's able to listen and respond to her intuition about what's right for her personally. One of the great tragedies of Western society is that consumerism is encouraged over the pursuit of meaningful work.

This is good. Apple is probably the least likely company to implement something like this, so the fact that they own this patent means that other companies may have a harder time implementing this feature.

I think that expectation is a common product of the modern convenient life. If you have the genetic gift of intellect coupled with that, then it becomes more prominent. It also is due to a generation which is more independent/scattered with lesser ties (or familial/societal pressures, depending on how you look upon it). The above factors contribute to the third which makes this generation, more "sensitive". Combine all and the perspective of the article is quite expected. That probably also explains the resonation with the readers resulting in upvotes.
In the ML family of languages (e.g. OCaml, F#) declarations are only visible to code that occurs syntactically later. This has obvious disadvantages, but also the benefit of making dependencies obvious.
We don't even remotely know the state of the ocean everywhere. Even in well traveled sea lanes there are gaps of several hours between weather satellite passes.
Fuel prices aren't that high right now. GEVs are slightly more fuel efficient that regular aircraft but not enough to overcome all the disadvantages.
There's no way you can mount enough armor to provide immunity against modern missiles while still leaving useful cargo capacity. Armor is too heavy.
So nearly zero potential.
New idea
Hi all, wondering if you can help with this survey! We're at startup weekend seattle and appreciate your input!
Nothing in that article harks at serious disfunctions that would cause me to avoid living there.

I would rather live in San Francisco than anywhere in Idaho (despite Idaho being a nice place to visit). Or any city in the south for that matter.
Why is it not worthy of being on the front page of HN? While I acknowledge that this is a tech forum and a thousand posts about Javscript alternatives do probably belong on the front page, but we're all human and this offers a good lesson on internal reflection for a situation that we're all probable to experience down the road.
Not All Industrial Food Is Evil
This wonderful article lays out the idea that perhaps we as technologists and developers are undervalued.

It's a very strange thing, in some ways, because you find out that our utility to a business starting out and getting an MVP is quite limited--a dumb wordpress blog and cold calls can actually get you pretty far in many cases. But then, once you start scaling, the author's step function kicks in, and all of the sudden you really need to pay developers what they're worth (which is still not very much in the scheme of things).

I think that it's important to at least keep our minds open to the idea that we've shortchanged ourselves in the market, and that there are a lot of problems we're going to be having in the next decade or so if we don't educate the people who use the fruits of our labors.
I certainly wouldn't call owning a chair being owned by your belongings. :P

I think the bigger picture to look at here is that we, as humans, are creative. When we move into an empty apartment, we see a blank slate, prime for decoration. It's very easy to browse Target, Marshalls, or Ikea and want to buy things that look cool because hey, I have a decent salary and cheap housing. Case in point — I bought a Nerf basketball hoop as a spur-of-the-moment purchase. Haven't touched it once. I definitely had to use restraint on other such purchases. So I guess that's what worries me. It's so easy to acquire junk that isn't essential. A pretty Spartan summer definitely showed me what is really essential and what isn't.
> If I was a psychologist I would diagnose her with anxiety and possibly depression.
> The vagueness is strange.

I agree. On my first reading, even I wondered, "why is she trying to solve by quitting a problem that need to be solved with anti-depressants?". But then I realized that her only fault was not articulating her problem properly. I'm sure there are some strong feelings going on there, but I can't seem to make out the reasons.

As a corollary, I submit that companies relying on open source, after having reached a sufficient size and stature, have a civic responsibility to contribute code to the open source community. In addition to the purely altruistic aspect of such a move, founding an open source project has the side benefit of attracting similar minded folks to your project and potentially your company as well. See, e.g., Netflix OSS as an example of how to do this correctly. http://netflix.github.io/

Very well-written article. I was half-dreading that this would be a humblebrag about how they're achieved so much more since leaving Google.

Anyway the campfire incident resonated with me, and I completely believe it. I recently finished the book "Autopilot" by Andrew Smart, in which he describes a brain center called the "default mode network" (which was new to me). http://www.orbooks.com/catalog/autopilot/

The default mode network works when nothing else is occupying the brain. Hence to "listen" to "yourself" aka DMN, you have to literally be silent and in silence etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network
No, someone posted it on Hacker News with the title "Why I Left Google," which drew me in. She broadcast it to the world where it reached me and piqued my interest. She could have made it a facebook posting for friends and family only. She probably knew what she was doing and is enjoying the attention. A lot of people would. I'm allowed to make my observations. I also don't have you trapped in a corner reading them. Edit: All I'm saying is that if she had acknowledged her first world problems and made a little joke about them it would have been more attractive. That's it.
It's a very good and noble thing to contribute to the wealth of tools that we as developers have at our disposal, to help relieve others of the pains that we faced getting a particular problem solved. There is no vector for spreading ideas and progress as helpful as source code and software, and it's a great thing to help other people.

However, it's very, very, very important not to simply toil in obscurity dropping code--I believe our efforts are better spent teaching others how to program and making tools and libraries that are simple enough for others to hack on.

We don't want to drive our field so far out of the realm of the common man that they simultaneously take it for granted and yet are unable to extend it; that path lies ruin once we've passed.
It sounds as though "the guy" in question has certain expectations about the ways in which women are supposed to interact with him. These expectations apparently vary based on his perception of how attractive the woman is; he gives women he deems sufficiently attractive social license to behave in ways that women he seems as less attractive are not granted.

It's not expressly stated, but not unreasonable to guess that these behaviors revolve around the guy's expectation that a woman will respond positively to demands that she pay positive attention to him. Merely moderately attractive women are not expected to rebuff the attention of the guy, and doing so is "being bitchy."

There are certainly social pathologies here, but not on the part of the women.

The complaint being responded to is predicated on assigning every woman a social worth based solely on a numerical rating of sexual attractiveness. If this doesn't strike you as misogynist I'm unsure what possibly could.

What you see as a "politically correct Church of All" I see as "basic decency to your fellow humans."
Thanks! I was already using ranger and this fits nicely with the i3 ethos as well.

Not really. I didn't read as far to get to the part about authenticity. It's just not the kind of content I expect to find at the top of Hacker News. Many others probably feel the same way.

And please don't bring up the guideline about what is appropriate content for this site. That guideline can be used to encompass pretty much anything.

Really? All of us?

Honestly though I didn't mean any disrespect to the author or anyone who got something out of this article.

I was simply pointing out why I thought the majority of the comments were critical of the piece, which the parent seemed to attribute to HNer's [not] understading "the maturity & security in one's own self-worth it takes to walk away from that level of career success" to which I would have to strongly disagree.
Doesn't a prohibition period on hiring only work if you're hiring children?

I can't imagine leaving an existing job only to be not guaranteed a place at a new job if "they don't like me" in the first few weeks. That's what the interview process was supposed to suss out. Does immediate termination come with a three month severance package?

Well said. All this "first world problem", "1%", "privilege" bullshit is, well, bullshit. A person's problems are their problems, regardless of what me, you, John Doe, Kevin Mitnick, Paul Graham, Barak Obama, Kevin Spacey, Kevin Bacon, Tom Selleck, or the sterno bum at the corner of 3rd and Main, think about them.

Sure, it would be nice if everybody spent their energy worrying about poverty in Africa or South America, or human rights in China or whatever, but no one is under any particular obligation to devote their energy to those problems, or to prioritize them over their own favorite issues, whatever they may be.

The article isn't about wanting to live there or not. That's largely a function of things that have little to do with the city government (climate, night life, etc). The article urges tech companies to invest in San Francisco, and the issues raised in the article are totally relevant to evaluating why they might not want to. Who wants to pour money into a city that is so badly mismanaged?
This article has some misleading wording. It constantly refers to web browsers as billion-dollar programs in the sense that the total cost of all development, both intrinsic-to and inherited-by, modern browsers is in the billions. Yet it does this adjacent to comments on the unreasonableness of expecting new software for cheap. But new software isn't built in a vacuum - it's built on the existing technologies that already have the billions of dollars invested in them.

The author might still be right, but the point is exaggerated to incorrectness by such juxtapositions. For a post all about not being off by orders-of-magnitude, I find this misleading and inexcusable.
They can't pay people to violate their terms of use or to try to violate the privacy of their users. Even if they wanted to, they're probably not allowed to do that.
I made something like this a while back, but after some research I found that it's illegal to send unsolicited emails and you could be fined by the FTC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's ok to open source the code so people can use it at their own discretion, but making it into an actual product would run into legal troubles?
I kind of saved myself lots of frustration, by not reading this article. As soon as I read, "i will have to leave my boyfriend" and I assume, this is one narcissistic article, trying to get people listen her babbling because she has used "google".

There's a new version of Google Analytics that uses a single a very shorter cookie. Doing most processing server side. This is called Universal Analytics.
Again: how exactly do you propose that they write a policy that compensates people for violating the security of their users? Not the security of Facebook, but the integrity of their actual users.

We all know this person had good intentions. But good intentions aren't always enough. Facebook doesn't appear to be freaking out at him. They just can't pay him for having demonstrated a vulnerability by hacking someone's account.
Is it even lawful for them to pay people that knowingly invade other people's accounts?
nice sentiments, you can find it a lot of places, but sounds like you found it in SF
That's why I said "being at Google" not Google itself.

Again, she's looking at things from a very immature perspective, that of life owing her a fulfilling career without actually doing what she's claiming to be doing. Introspecting.
doubt it, people just aren't thinking about it right
I agree with you that facebook should not pay for the bug since he violated the policy, instead, facebook can consider offering him an interview opportunity and sponsor him a trip to facebook.
This is the most annoying, cringe-inducing post I've ever read on Hacker News.
This is exactly how I plan to serve up the compiled archive.
Uh, no. I think they're identifying her for what she is. Immature. She's coming from a perspective where the world owes her a fulfilling career. Mature people think about changing themselves, not blaming their situation.
It'd be pretty great if people were polite enough not to make/take calls in movie theaters.

Our devices should not dictate such a thing, unless the feature is a "hey, I recommend that you not be an asshole, but you can disable me if you really want".
Ok, but there's another guideline:

> Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
Exactly. I think the best way to combat people who take pictures in places they shouldn't is by adding a camera sound that can't be disabled or turned down. I believe I read that's how it is in Japan.
What I want to know is why governments support all illegal drug dealing, and dont get a cut of the action themselves. The illegality is pretty much what makes it profitable. All the "war" on drugs does is keep the prices up. Mean while the government just pours our tax money down the drain, get zero in return.

Legalize it and the government can tax it. Dealers get wiped out, and with them, a lot of the violence. The tax money raised can pay for a lot of rehab, and the police can concentrate on actual crime with the saved resources.

I could go on...
> More qualified people will correct me, but I think there is more to it than dropping a piece of fissile material over another

“With modern weapons-grade uranium, the background neutron rate is so low that terrorists, if they have such material, would have a good chance of setting off a high-yield explosion simply by dropping one half of the material onto the other half. Most people seem unaware that if separated HEU [Highly Enriched Uranium] is at hand it’s a trivial job to set off a nuclear explosion … even a high school kid could make a bomb in short order.” - Luis Alvarez, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1988

The key being, as I understand it, actually getting weapons-grade material of sufficient purity. Though the actual design of a practical, controlled and efficient, weapon would doubtless be more somewhat more complex. For which the n-th country project is well worth reading about:

The situation is the guy in good faith tried to give them repro steps and report a critical bug. Technically he fucked up and didn't do it on a white hat account. No harm was intended or done. They are denying him his reward based on a technicality. If that FB employee is not some lawyer trying to cover their asses, then he should want to pay this person and make it happen via some exception. If they truly didn't care about the money and wanted to pay more bounties they would do this. There is no danger of ruining the integrity of the ToS as another replier suggested. In future incidents they are free to not make an exception. In this case, it was all in good faith and the guy didn't know the proper procedure.

"though I've seen a drastic decline in the quality of posts in the short time I've been here"

Far more likely that it is just the novelty wearing off. A variation of this opinion is actually so common that it is in the rules [0]. A general rule for a "happy stay" at HN is to read and comment on the things that interest you. Partly out of self interest, but also out of respect for those who might like a given story and don't want it filled with vague complaints.

People complain all the time about the quality of stories, but as indicated by the low scores on the new page (at least for anything without a popular keyword) they aren't doing anything about it other than complaining. By that ruining the comments for everyone else.

> Why can't people just enjoy the fact that they're doing better than 90% of the planet (...)

I can't understand this mindset that having money to buy crap is "doing better" and that people should be "thankful" for it.
Because they're already making a lot of money from weed and other drugs being illegal. It's the prison industrial complex, man. The government isn't interested in stopping violence. If so, we'd have much saner drug laws. Drug busts are easy and when you do them the DEA and federal government give you money to buy shiny toys like tanks and new body armor.
What about the medical funding for stuff like cancer, where the vast bulk is in the public sector?

Also, while I agree with Theodore Sturgeon that 90% of everything is crap, in science it is especially hard to tell what that 90% is going to be in advance, so I think it is better to overfund and then concentrate on the improvement of quality in the review process to filter out the crap.
The goal of doing something "more important" like solving world hunger or whatever should be to get more people able to concentrate on 1st world problems.

It is good both for people to help others get up to first world, and for people to deal with first world problems too.
