I've never understood why people whine about upvotes. If there were no upvotes, would you not even post? Do you only post so you can be validated by mouse clicks of people you don't know?

Wow. Talk about missing the point. He's obviously not talking about how the whole hospital is run. He's talking about using selective technology to make certain things run better.

The recommended age to vaccinate is 12 months (I've read as early as six months). Until those babies are able to be vaccinated, they're at risk.

Tell that to the 98% of people who will "surely" have never heard of this and think, reasonably, that recording a cop won't put them in jail.

Regardless of whether or not it's a better watch, unless it has an Apple logo on it somewhere and they hide the Motorola logo, then I doubt very much that that would ever happen.

If you're using Stripe as your payment processor and using Apple Pay through Stripe (just like choosing a different credit card), then you're still only using one payment processor. All your transfers, transaction data, accounting, etc. is just done through Stripe. You don't care that the customer actually used Apple Pay.

I'm pretty sure that "recruit", in this context, means "expose to Y Combinator and encourage to apply if they have a good idea", not "give them a higher chance of being accepted because they are black".

The prototypical HNer is probably trying to start a business or passionately underpaid at a starup and making a fraction of what they would get paid working a normal job. Yeah, trivial.

Do you find that you're limited to using desktops/laptops because of the client requirement, or are there good options for adding posts from phones/tablets?

There's no shame in failing if you haven't taken your customers' money. "Kickstarter" is not synonymous with "give us your money and we'll try really hard, but if we fail, bummer for you".

The comment is garbage, but I don't think an anonymous, unmoderated comment is going to stop the type of women who speak at these sorts of events from wanting to come back.

I've seen zero pretentiousness from Andrew in all the years he's been doing interviews. If I had to rate hime on a pretentiousness scale, I might even have to give him a negative rating. Humble-bragging about your low-pretentiousness-tolerance being a "personal fault" is laughable.

Fantastic analogy. Nicely done.

Applies to golf and pool for me. But I start off as a bit better than average while sober, in the zone at four or five beers, then I fall off a cliff after that. Relaxation and looseness apparently have a very narrow maximum window of effectiveness while drinking. Go past it, and you're hosed (but I always had fun getting there).

Whether or not this applies to other jobs has nothing to do with whether or not it applies to CS-related jobs.
