   Comments like "Kill yourself" would never be tolerated around here, but that does not mean people are encouraging and positive. Instead of being encouraging, you see a lot of pedantic nitpicking and subtle criticism

   Has anyone's employer actually asked for this? I would be extremely offended if a company asked for my FB password

   Is this a gender-issue post or one about how the startup/tech world is uninteresting? It seemed like she switched themes halfway through the post

   I'm not sure this has a positive effect on men's psyche, considering that men have been the main provider of food/resources for much of history. It's no secret that women are evolutionarily wired to respond to confidence, and traditionally

   I get the impression that a lot of people who are "heavy pirates" are the types that simply wouldn't listen to music otherwise. I was into pirating music simply because I could... then I realized I never listen to any of it. Since then I

    Another thing to consider with Spolsky's student example is that there are a wide variety of experience levels in a programming class IME. I just finished 5 years of CS school (3 years undergrad, 2 grad), and I would attribute the variety

    I am also an undergrad CS major from UTD (whoosh!). It is VERY interesting that you would bring this up because now I am pursuing a masters in CS at a different university and grad algorithms is the class I struggled with the most! I ende

    Unbelievable response. I am a lowly CS grad student at the moment so investment is not my greatest concern, but hopefully in the near future I will have some money to invest. When that day comes I will take a second look at your advice fr

    I think there is definitely a problem with the realism that Hacker News unknowingly perpetuates. I would imagine people who read Hacker News are less likely to start companies because they are exposed to extremely intelligent people's comm

    What would happen if the company that created tiny tower sued Zynga? Do they have any legal argument?

    Even if nice guys do "win-out" eventually, how exactly would this happen in a start-up? If a Jerk-Aggressive-Dominant team builds a great product and becomes the top of the pyramid by acting like assholes, when is it that they get replaced

    What I always wondered about eating healthy is, is it the unhealthy foods on their own that is the root cause, or the fact that unhealthy eaters don't eat wholesome foods? For example, if I eat McDonalds, but then I also eat a bunch of frui
