Is Blackboard still horrible? I mean I know my University uses some old obscure version of Blackboard which is right out of the 90s, but judging by the blackboard website right now, it looks like their current UI might not be so bad. Too ba

So did ours. The problem is that most faculty hates it. You need to realize that most professors are quite set in their ways and have been using Blackboard for years, so they're opposing the full roll-out. Even some of the I.T. Faculty want

I've been following you for a while on Twitter, and I think it's a shame that you don't tweet/blog about your thoughts more often. I think there's a group of very intelligent, experienced hackers on HN who should share their thoughts/ideas

If I'm understanding correctly, it's what every surviving media outlet does - validate a demand. People magazine gives middle aged women something to dream about, Maxim does the same thing for guys, reading signal vs. noise does the same fo

Hmm.. I've looked at these mags from time to time, but I still don't understand what you're pointing to. Most of the advertising in these mags would fool you into thinking that the average reader of this magazine is a 20 year old with a mil

I've seen the video and read the blurb, but I still don't "get" it. Can someone gimme a use case where this would instantly make sense, cause if I'm understanding correctly, just basic tagging with my bookmarks achieves the same thing (easy

As a soon to be graduate, who thought university education wasn't worth it as well, GO TO COLLEGE! It's so much more than just programming. You'll learn technical things and non-technical things. The experiences you'll have during these 3-4

I don't mean the undermine the skill required to achieve this but why would you use CSS to do something like this? I've also seen stuff like pure CSS logos, pure CSS fail whale, etc. and I have no doubt it helps you understand CSS inside ou

I guess they're still working on http://www.seedaccelerator.com/ which looks like YC. In terms of YC-like quality (mentorship and alumni + VC networks/connections) I don't think there's anything close in Australia.

I do not agree with her as well. Yes there are problems with the system. Yes, we can have a more liberal flexible system. But the system is designed for everyone. How many people in your class didn't know the capitals? How many couldn't wri

you'd be surprised how much companies spend to find employees. I think recruitment agencies take 10-20% of yearly salaries.

I'm not an expert at anything but I do follow my University's motto 'Ancora Imparo' (I'm learning). I personally think it's difficult for you to know when you're an expert at anything but other people will start labeling you as an expert. T

Here's what I think he meant. There must be a VC who would've thought Posterous can be substituted by a Wordpress plugin. Any 14 year old can create that. Obviously, Posterous is more than just blogging via email and the VC must not have

Is CTR actually clicking the ad and going to the advertiser's webpage or just interacting with the ad? If it's just like normal CTR, I don't see how iAds could result in a better performance. Maybe people like to play the mini-games, but no
