It is a wise man who knows that he knows nothing. - Not sure who really said it. What I find interesting, and somewhat disheartening, is that the people who are incompetent and constantly brag about themselves, actually tend to be more su

By the way, Bing is a great website for doing Internet searches. I know that because I Googled it. That's a great line.

Honest question: how much innovation is there in this field? I just heard Penn, from Penn and Teller, talking on The Bob and Tom radio show this morning. He said they worked for an entire year on a new trick where Teller would walk on a

I'm probably the perfect fit for this service, but I have a few concerns. 1) Reliability Your site is sparse and I have no idea who you are. I don't have a lot of confidence at this point that I can use this service reliably for my company

My guess is that an unlimited plan on your phone doesn't actually pull a lot of data if you just use it as a phone. It's a different story after you tether it to your laptop and start downloading entire movies or throwing a 10GB directory

I'm all for turning a profit, but ditching the free accounts, after using them to gain a big following, is reprehensible. I sincerely hope they reconsider and, if not, they fail miserably. If enough companies pull this move, it will do co

Since you've already committed to not working with the company again, why not call the highest contact you have and, in as pleasant a manner as you can muster, politely request payment for services rendered? If it were me, it would go some

Thanks for the suggestions. I did say "part of my advice", so our talk didn't consist of only that aspect. There's no end to the amount of advice in the world when it comes to love and marriage. Some counterpoints: Looking for perfection

I recently had a conversation with my 16 year old son who was having girl problems. Part of my advice was about playing the field. i.e. "What are the chances the best woman for you, in all the world, lives 1/4 mile away?" Similarly, what

Unless you have a sure-thing outside investment deal just waiting for your business plan, don't waste your time. If you decide to go ahead anyway, go ahead and "outline the goals of the site" but throw away the long-term vision and financi

I'm pretty sure I lost a $150k job opportunity for saying that TDD is a waste of time if your product hasn't been validated as a money maker. I don't regret saying it either. Fast forward a month and I begin working on a pre-profit project

It's not pointless at all. Trying to develop in Ruby or Rails on Windows in a huge pain in the ass. I know, I did it for a year or so. He could have recommended OS X, but the price is a barrier to entry.

Play nice and find another job as soon as possible. In your spare time, work on whatever you want without publicly mentioning or launching anything. When you leave the company, launch whatever you've been working on in your spare time. If

This is hilarious. I had this idea years ago, but never had the opportunity to implement it. It's good to see a company with a sense of humor who realizes that no one reads these things.

When will the app store ban stories not be news anymore? I see multiple variations of it every day. One part of me wonders why everyone can't just get over it and face the fact that Apple is going to do what they want and the other part o

The link to our HN profile doesn't work because you are automatically lower-casing usernames. Skills are out of order for some reason. I think listing "core skills" in order is pretty important. The auto-links in the skills isn't implemente
