Those who despise meritocracy simply lack, well, intelligence to understand it. Merit is not about IQ, merit is about knowledge and experience in a field. A cook can't build a bridge, a carpenter can't rule a kingdom, a ballet dancer can't

I can't believe how a 40" ipad with an apple tv stuck in the back with krazy-glue won't sell ten million units in its first xmas.

No, it hasn't peaked. iPhone peaked, just like iPod peaked. But make no mistake, Apple is in a favorable position to be the 'american Sony' for decades to come. Apple TV? Apple watch? Apple console? Who knows, but whatever comes next, Appl

Beautiful. I'm in love with Jinja and this is exactly what I was looking for in JS. Already got github/flosch/pongo for golang so the cycle is complete. Jinja won. Now, let's get the best from all and unify it in a universal templating syst

Besides the repeating numbers, I dare to say a big percentage of pins start with 19 because people use their year of birth as pin.

Unbelievable how ONE in SIX pin numbers are either 1234 or 1111. I guess they're right, mine is 1234

I agree with everything you said except voting republican/democrat. They're both clowns of the same circus. There needs to be a third option and we are not ready yet for that, but very close. No matter how many times dems and reps alternate

"C will always have its place but Ruby and Python code bases will go to Go." Not in the web world. Go will take programmers from the C/Java camp, but not many from the ruby/python camp. Not even one in a hundred startups will use Go as thei

Sure, blame it on HTML5, the voiceless culprit. Blame it on the janitor, the office assistant, the programmer. But never dare you touch a C*O for the failure of a corporation!

Don't fall for that idea trap. Just ask for money. If they don't have it, tell them to get funders and hire you as a first programmer AND equity if they really want you. It is always better to have something in your pocket than 50% of nothi

My only request: - Add a wheelbarrow icon to the menu bar. What for? To drag and drop stuff so I can move them around. * More explicit: to easily move/copy files from one folder to another. From one app to another. Drag files to the wheelba

We are in a position to change politics in this connected era, yet we don't do it. We need modern thinkers to propose new election systems, new forms of government, new ideologies more consonant with modern times. It will take time, old sch

Hey guys, I like what you're doing. Here is some unsolicited advice: create a startup news magazine like HN. That's it. Will read it from day one. HN vs NR. Endless fights, endless clicks, endless promotion for your startups. We all win at
