Because 98% is bullshit. Get very interested, have fun, learn, prototype, things look fine, then after start use seriously and depend on makes you so much pain and problem. Then have to fix, and patch and in the end: always remove. After you have this experience many times you will also very critical and have high expectation/requirement, then you will come to HN and reply negatively.
Is this the USA problem or do small farmer have same problem in other country too? If all world has same problem it is very sad.

Why am I getting downvote? Somebody please explain me how $6667 is cost of living. I don't understand.
Re:Haskell Web Development: A Freely Available Book on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:20AM (#10500100)
Author cost of living = $6667/month? Author has high rent, wife, 3 children, only eats the organic and gluten free, car repayments, college debt... maybe shouldn't be writing book now.

If author wants to make same money as work for corporate, no problem, but should say this directly, not say the dubious "cost of living".

Why is paradox? Seem obvious to me. If person can explain, thank you.

Re:China Has a Microplastic Pollution Problem on Wednesday September 09, 2015 @07:29PM (#10195339)
I was born in China and later live in Australia. My perspective changed. Humans are so good at making a mess but the attitude of the people can result a big mess or a small mess. If the people coordinate and have freedom to care about more than own survival, can together look after the planet very well. I read before Sweden (I think) have 99% recycling rate.

Movie is nice but this is not the tech news.
Before this we tried the Angular.JS but we were not happy to do so. Luckily we later discovered the ScalaJS and since that time we are very happy. But we have not tried the ScalaJS and the Angular together. Maybe the integration is good? But I think Angular is not good. Sorry don't have more helpful informations.
I am using the Scala.js for 1 year for commercial product. The quality is very good. All are very happy. The Scala.js and the React are integrate very nicely. I encourage you to try, you can never go back. You will not disappointing!

Yeh cos those are two only two options available. Good thinking.
@bodil is very respectable in terms of tech. The problem is she frequently goes on really bizarre, sometimes completely illogical SJW-style rants. She really comes off as a crazy person sometimes. It's a shame because she has a lot of very interesting programming language knowledge and programmers could learn a lot from her.

Re:In Technology, Small Fish Almost Always Eat Big Fish on Friday July 10, 2015 @05:55PM (#9867039)
The article never claimed that all small fish eat big. That's not at all the point of the article.
