Re:Why Open Offices Are Terrible on Thursday November 05, 2015 @01:30PM (#10515182)
Agreed. I personally work well in an open office. Half way through the article, or really it was just citing other peoples research with no other analysis, I got mad.

It just comes back to -- if you want to prove a point there will be data out there to help you justify it. This article is trying to pretend to be objective, but really is just citing a slew of studies that, presumably, had really small sample sizes. /rant

There is no one answer. IMO an ideal office would have both options.

How do you ease your way back into 40 hours after they know you are capable of working 70?

How does the conversation go... "I want my old job back?" or what?

It's my first start up job. This is great advice. Gonna continue working hard, have a talk with them, and start shopping, but this time for not a supporting role.
Re:Ask HN: Is my frustration warranted? on Tuesday November 11, 2014 @04:29PM (#8592302)
That's a sad conclusion in my eyes.

Part of being happy for me is immersing myself in something and doing a good job. But there is something to be said about getting taken advantage of.

ya... I guess I am making it more complicated than it has to be.

I have to wait a few days I think and cool off... I've been pouring my heart and soul into this, and this was just pretty crushing.

Ask HN: Is my frustration warranted?

Hopefully y'all can help me, objectively, think through this.Here is a primer: I just got a job at a startup (around ~50 employees) as a Support Engineer. This is my first job at a startup, and I took a decent paycut (~20k). I rationalized the paycut because 1. I didn't like Pittsburgh and wanted to move back to Colorado. 2. The company seems like it has potential for growth/it seemed like fun...

I can vouch.

Currently working for a startup in Boulder, and it is really awesome.

Casinos are in the business of taking money.

GOOD Gamblers are in the business of taking money.

Casinos exploit ignorance, they are able to take money EVEN THOUGH people know they don't have an edge.

GOOD Gamblers counter exploit that same edge.

The Casino lost.

I love to learn. Looking to join a company that moves quickly, and will challenge me every single day. I am in love with solving problems, so send them my way!

Re:How A Police Officer Threatened A Yelp Reviewer on Thursday July 25, 2013 @11:21AM (#6102883)
IMHO The interesting part of this story is NOT the 'level of wrongness' in police abuse. It's the policing of internet reviews!

On the surface this is a trivial story, but in reality, this is totally bananas! A local cop policing the internet through means of coercion? Sounds sufficiently interesting to me!

Re:Non-repudiation and the joy of knowing you've been hacked on Wednesday July 24, 2013 @04:35PM (#6098914)
Seriously. I almost stopped reading after this bit...

'specially for infrastructure accounts (if your company uses SSH, chances are you have one Unix Login that all your admins/employees share). Which makes non-repudiation harder.'

Chances are???? What credible sys admin would ever do something like that...?

Very cool.

The only thing I really have to say is beware of carousels... I didn't even notice you had carousels until reaching the bottom of your 'how it works' page.

hm I read that thing when I joined, but I guess memory is a funny thing!

Thanks for the answer :)

Re:Ask HN: Is it just me? on Friday June 21, 2013 @11:28PM (#5922458)
Just be an individual. Not everybody in tech plays the game, and you certainly don't have to play the game.
Re:We were wrong on Friday June 21, 2013 @11:49AM (#5918620)
Maybe I was raised by a bunch of rabid dogs...

But after reading the cached page... I really don't understand what the creator did wrong?

He was a guy that I a lot of people can identify with, whom is publishing a book about his experiences?

Is seduction intrinsically bad?

Re:One cost engineers and product managers don't consider on Thursday June 20, 2013 @04:33PM (#5914769)
The first comment on that page sort of made me face palm... but then it got me thinking.

"Simplicity of usage should always win over simplicity of coding. The purpose of a product is to solve the end user's pain, no one should give a dime about the engineer's problem. IMHO that was the genius of Steve Jobs, he could take any pre-exiting product and increase its complexity by 50x while simplifying its usage by 10x."

I am relatively new to coding, and really, I want to know what do you guys think about this? Does this really scale? Does simplifying the front end often compromise the backend?

Ditto :( I was almost embarrassed to post!
