I miss Paul Graham's influence on HN. My impression is that since he "retired", the topics now are more uniformly focused on core hacking/startup stuff and HN lost its "good hackers are interested in anything"

Please DO this. Venture capital invested by people who actually know a thing or two about tech startups is urgently needed here. Something like YC Berlin could untap a goldmine, IF done right and IF it takes the quite significant (business)

It is not hard to imagine a company like Microsoft wanting something in exchange for all the zero day exploits they report to the NSA in advance.

I was in a similar situation a year ago and decided to go with the Series 9 with Full HD screen instead of a MBPr. The weight advantage of the Series 9 and the screen are nice, but battery life, keyboard and trackpad are way behind Apple&#x

It is a fad, one that has already been rejected on the market. See www.digitimes.com/news/a20131211PD217.html My personal experience with a touchscreen laptop running Windows 8 was that once the novelty wears of, it feels unnatura

The clumsiness of Drew's statement does remind me of those from the Bush Administration when they started to explain why the US Army wasn't exactly greeted with flowers by the Iraqis. Condoleeza will have to do a lot of work to wi

Comments on those type of sites are always negative and always based on ignorance no matter the topic.

This political-correctness frenzy is beyond ridiculous. A browser company should not have to give statements about political issues that have absolutely nothing to do with their business. What's next, regular declerations concerning ba

The title is somewhat misleading, Russia's membership was suspended and considering Russia never was a full member this is hardly more than symbolic. The G7 were always a club of US friendly 'capitalist' states and are in no

Besides Thailand i would also suggest to look at India, some nice locations there, considerably cheaper than Thailand and a higher percentage of people speaking English.

"Intel does not participate in anyone’s efforts to decrease security in technology." - This does look to me to be a pretty strong denial.

I don't believe in single persons influence in history on a grand scale. Gavrilo Princip was just one of many 'terrorists' that were supported by Serbia and Russia to extend their influence into Bosnia. The situation was abou

'awkward living accommodations in old buildings' I always find it amusing when Americans equal old buildings with subpar living conditions. Most of the apartments in Europe's typical 19th century buildings deliver an extremly

Nationwide SMS is dirt cheap in most of Europe too. But the cost goes up rapidly when you send messages across borders, say from Italy to Germany. And international MMS are just ridiculously expensive. A friend of mine once paid ~5€ for a s
