pressures

If the market were really tight as trumpeted by the media, there would have been wage pressures already.

Well, that's overly binary; it creates strong pressures to focus on short-term results rather than making long-term thinking impossible.

Not that these pressures are unique to the USA but they do seem to have taken prevalence over fraud concerns.

That's a fairly ignorant view on mental state and peer group pressures on developing adolescent minds.

A 400mph glider would get torn apart at normal pressures, but at 90k it won't.

A lot of us lost a great opportunity to code with a brilliant person because he wouldn't bend to social pressures.

However, it pressures you to learn those things in order to cope with the fact that you can't do it the easy way.

Well, he spends quite enough time talking about genealogical adaptation to environmental pressures.

The moon also caused tides which increased the environmental pressures on water-based life forms living in tidal pools to evolve to live amphibiously.

For this kind of work they probably wanted to measure dynamic pressures within the tank, which they would most likely do with microphones.

We evolved completely separately, shaped by hundreds of millions of years of different evolutionary pressures, including competition for resources (albeit at different scales).

IMO it's not just because the low-hanging fruit has been picked, but because there are commercial, academic, and political pressures holding it back.

These are people that complain about how the industry "pressures" them into coding in their free time.

What we see as "free choice" is, in fact, "free choice under societal pressures and restrictions".

Anyway, just wanted to make it clear that my personal story has nothing to do with YC, or the "pressures of being a VC funded company" or anything of that sort.
