Seem to always remember this because I feel it opened my eyes to how much speech can influence, but also assist you. I'm talking about Lebron James and when he was going through his decision making in 2010. To stay in Cleveland, with the hometown team who nurtured his career and it is home, or should he sign on with Miami. For him to begin making an unemotional decision, he distanced himself from the situation; at the time he was supposedly pressured from many sides.
“I wanted to do what’s best for LeBron James and to do what makes LeBron James happy.”

Re:U.S. workers hate ‘open’ office spaces

If you're working in an office you should expect some level of office noises. I'm not talking about a truck honking his horn outside your window for 8 hours is normal, I'm saying general noises - ones that have a short time on them, and are required for their jobs. I would have expected my comment to be clearer than it may have sounded.
To clarify, just because you're in a library doesn't mean it is absolutely pin drop quiet. There is basic atmosphere noise. I of course am in favor of a closed office, and cubicle farms and open environments are easily more favorable for the employer than employee, but it seems expected to have some basic noise in an open office that people love complaining about—instead of championing closed offices which is never going to happen in a lot of companies.

I think it's hilarious there are complaints about regular office noise like talking business on phones, typing, and sniffling/cough etc... If you want to go to sleep it's a perfect to expect that...otherwise stop complaining get headphones, move your desk, change your environment or remove yourself from the equation in some way.
I don't believe that productivity is hurt because of open office sounds, I think people just love complaining.
Re:Ask HN: How can I learn how to paint?

- lay out a small inch grid over your favorite painting [throw a painting into photoshop on a tablet to have greater zoom]
- focus on perfecting the small squares only not the larger piece, the fun is jumping around from your favorite puzzle piece and not going in order.
- once you're done remove the grid and blend in the edges of each square to it's adjacent one.

Sounds like some of my own work, I hypothesized that the body doesn’t need food itself, merely the chemicals and elements it contains. So, what if I consumed only the raw ingredients the body uses for energy? Soylent was the obvious choice because our bodies do not need food.
Re:China’s tech sector is in the doldrums

> By one count 48 million people in China lack sufficient drinking water. The number of people facing severe drinking water shortages doubled to 5.9 million in early 2008 because of a severe winter drought. China has more than a fifth of the world's population but only 7 percent of its fresh water.
Not from the article, but if there was a startup needed and one that could jump start their sector there, a significant problem to solve is clean water.

Walgreens probably still does those late night stickers for price changes, if anything needs to be digitized it would be that. For the benefit of the employees that have to do that painful mess of a price change constantly. Next time you visit a Walgreens or similar store and see tags everywhere just consider how much waste there is to do that every week, sometimes with the same prices just a new colored sticker.

Important point, still kind of weird to me, even in this day and age of Facebook and social media in general, where everyone feels the need to share every intimate detail of their lives with strangers.

Re:Designing for the web ought to mean making HTML and CSS
on Friday January 25, 2019 @09:43AM (#18998245)
From my perspective, I think I'm seeing the big debate about this whole front-end dev.a[html/css/ux] vs front-end dev.b[js/programmer], is not that people in the know, know that CSS is a powerful language for designing doc/ux/ui and fear it will go away.
- It's that, the notion of HTML/CSS is being considered to be entry level knowledge, so you can diminish its value/quality and to have a front-end job, focus on Javascript Framework-XYZ and disregard their significance yourself.
With that said, some people are just meant for more of a design/visual front-end dev, and some are more in it for the code.

I think it's common for people to want to tax people that have more, especially when the wealth gap is only widening. The state of things is the ever increase of the poor unable to break out of their class and the rich only getting richer.
Maybe it would be a good idea to provide the ability to have an option to suggest where/how the funds will be used based on some of the nation/state level priority needs.

Also I enjoy seeing cross overs that you can compare such as you could make a transition into dev ops if you choose an appropriate back end, scripting language.
Everyone here is too critical, I think it's a lot of information, but it's very useful to see the goal and steps in front of you.
