As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, the period of a revolution itself is extremely messy and it could go either way. But I think that it is impossible to argue that France was eventually worse off because of the revolution.

Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with general purpose CPU's that 'usually' have a specialized hardware decoder on board for video decoding. Which CPUs specifically do you mean? Dear downvoters, thank you very much for showing that HN is a p

You being your company is a terrible thing. It means you are never able to leave or even able to look the other way for a longer time. If you get ill or some other terrible thing happens to you the company and all the people that are in it

That's definitely not a given. Revolutions are a time of instability and the outcome can be worse or better. It mostly depends on what precipitated the revolution in the first place, how educated the people in the country where the revoluti

Have a look at 'the French revolution' for one instance in time where it worked reasonably well. The French royalty and its associated entourage had become such a drain on the country that the French decided to get rid of them in the most d

I think the idea of a pulsating dot has been around long enough that it could have been implemented a bit more solid.

At least GIFs work more or less the same on all browsers. This is an excellent example of how not to do it. Imagine the support call: "Click on the blinking dot" : "I don't see any blinking dot" : "It blinks for me, do you use a webkit br

Every time you see someone announcing a CRUD app written over the weekend you pretty much know that there is hardly any business logic involved. The example you give is a great one, it only gets more interesting when it is not just money on

I would like to suggest a profile switch that reads 'hands off my search terms'. Of course you'd need to be logged in for that but it would go a long way towards getting rid of the following pattern: - search for something - scan the respon

That may be true by itself but there are some eyewitness reports that actually conclude that the pilot acted in ways that greatly reduced the number of casualties. Don't be too quick to judge, it could have simply been a mechanical failure.

I'd rather fund a guy that knows his limits than one that is unrealistically upbeat and over-confident.

This all boils down to using the right tool for the right task and knowing how to organize your code so you don't run in to limits in the platform components that you use. In this case, the obvious solutions are to either use 'buffers' (thi

Think 'dimmer+wifi radio' for the parts pricing. So whatever it is that you come up with it is never going to be cheaper than a dimmer + the price of a wifi radio plus some mark-up.

Kickstarter is not an investment. It's a donation based on a story and a non-legally binding promise. If you treat it as more than that you are deluding yourself.

Knowing when to quit is actually a big plus. Plenty of people go for broke and end up with absolutely nothing. So don't berate yourself for that. You see it as mostly luck and I'd agree with that, start-ups are a big lottery. But there is a
