I always like to think of these things from the worst likely scenario. What's the worst likely scenario that could happen from quitting to pursue your own ideas and travel? You take the 2 years, try out several startup ideas, none of w

To bring this more in line with HackerNews usual content, what do you guys think the chances are that the voting machines will actually show a significant discrepancy from the paper receipts? Will this recount actually involve an audit of t

Yeah, makes sense from that perspective. If your payments are based on eyeballs and not clicks or conversions, then absolutely I can see why they try to get around it...

Pretty interesting. I don't really understand why PornHub or others put so much effort into getting around ad blockers, unless it's purely to pad their statistics when it comes to getting new Advertisers to partake or I guess even

Guess it would depend on whether the entire justification for the R&D and thus the expenses incurred as a result was due to a fraudulent claim that your original tech violated a patent. Without that fraudulent claim, would Company A hav

This is handy. I find the documentation at the official website to often be severely lacking in many cases, so any additional resources are most welcome.

Yeah, I was curious about that as well. I wonder if the internet and the resulting increase in spread of knowledge about diseases, symptoms, etc. has played a statistically significant part? I'd wager that at the least, it has helped p

Very interesting and I think many have suspected as much for quite some time. Our culture of late has tended to place kids in a metaphorical bubble preventing them from many things which current research now seems to confirm may be harmful

nice, that's a good step. I think maybe too late though for a lot of people... I had hundreds of posts over there, and I eventually deleted them all because of the change.

Does it still cross link comments from other Google properties like YouTube if you post a video for example? I liked using Google+ a lot as more of a blogging platform instead of a social network, but as soon as they integrated that, it com

Also, it didn't say anything about the effects of the strains. I personally know very little about pot, but when you say things like "It’s smooth on the tongue and nose, while giving a delicate blend of sativa and indica qualities

I'm very intrigued by Bleep, I think that attempting to leverage the bitorrent protocol in a chat platform is a unique take, that I would like to see continue to evolve. However, I think it's important that they open the source up

I agree that one thing that's lost is the ability to discuss episodes with people as a show progresses. Since you never know what episode a person is on you can't really risk discussing things until you're sure the person has

Is that because you don't trust yourself not to watch it all in a binge situation? The shows on netflix could easily be watched one episode at a time on a regular schedule if that's what you prefer. You get both options (and hundr

The data was hacked, true. I also wish hackers respected people's privacy, but they don't appear to share that sentiment. If the people responsible are ever apprehended, I'm sure they will face substantial jail time or worse,

Personally, the biggest improvement to Windows for me would be the ability to install the same copy of the OS multiple times, personally, for a reasonable price. I have a laptop, desktop, and I'd also love to run a couple of virtual ma

Thanks for the detailed reply. Very informative. Much appreciated... I had no idea those big progressive jackpots were actually managed by the slot machine makers and not the casinos themselves. It does make sense though, when you think abo

From a software/hardware engineering perspective, how difficult is it to get into the slot machine game? I imagine it must have quite a rigorous set of guidelines and testing procedures that must be followed diligently to avoid running

Not only that, but there is a substantial body within countries like the United States who benefit a lot from it being legal. For instance, the for profit prisons incarcerate non-violent drug offenders. Also, law enforcement relies heavily

Agreed. Also, I like that they seem to be extremely transparent when it comes to any issue at all. Both these issues, and the one from a year or so ago, where they thought maybe their servers were hacked, were clearly explained to their cus

I know this is a little off topic, but I always wonder if Cannabis becoming legal in more places, like the US, would result in more innovation with regards to the actual smell of cannabis. Perhaps more convenient ways of ingesting/inha

Unfortunately, it's a total non-starter for me if there is no desktop app.

Nice site, thanks for the link. I really think there is an underserved blogging market for curation of apps and games, especially with a specific theme such as this site does.

I know this might be crazy, but what about Apple/Google setting a floor on app prices? What if no app could sell for less than $2.99 or even $4.99? Although, I'm sure that would probably result in less money overall for Google and
