France’s Zone Rouge – Land Poisoned by War 11 years ago

The red zones can be inhabited but most of the ground is either polluted either completely destroyed. And as the boards said some zones still have armed explosives in them. I went there once. It's pretty beautiful when you forget it has been caused by a useless and slaughtering war.

Ask HN: How to integrate coding into primary school? 11 years ago

From the site : "What is the age range for Scratch? While Scratch is primarily designed for 8 to 16 year olds, it is also used by people of all ages, including younger children with their parents."

We saw children from 6 to 12 come try coding with scratch at our school during a coding for children event

Ask HN: Always late to the office, is this OK? 11 years ago

Being late sometimes is ok but every time for ~6 years ?

When people ask you to come at a certain time they are asking you if they can trust you to be here at that time. By arriving late deliberately you have abused their trust and been dishonest.

This is not a professional problem that you are having, it is a human problem : it is disrespect.

Ask HN: How to talk smart? 11 years ago

Ad populum, ad hominem, ad personam... Those are argumentations that make you lose all credibilty so try not using them.

The most important part after this is being honest, things must come out naturally just as shown by lies detectors. When you try to lie your brain makes a lot more effort so don't do it and your speech will be way smoother and won't tend to contradict itself.

It counts for extrapolation too, be honest about your knowledge or you will make a fool of yourself

Ask HN: What should I do? 11 years ago

Think about your people first.

Instead of reporting your fellow countrymen show them the good way of winning $$$ and they'll stop by themselves.

Moreover you are helping an American company, Americans only work for themselves or for their country. If Google happened to be Nepalese be sure they would wage war on it.

You can't be a "good guy" to the eyes of everybody, there must be a time at which you have to chose a side, a time at which you leave your neutrality

Theists are worshippers of God. Atheists are fighting God. Agnostics haven't found God yet.

Ask HN: Do you gamble? 11 years ago

You can always gamble as a game as long as it doesn't become an addiction but never gamble for anything else. Life's not a game.

Also I have so much bad luck that it spreads around me.

Ask HN: How to not base self worth on your own work? 11 years ago

You are feeling disapointment and satisfaction, which are pretty normal feelings imo.

You need also to focus on what is between the start and the end of a project. People may fail but learn a lot and know even more than you because of this failure. Keep in mind that what make good stories are peripeties.
