Hit the streets around Silicon roundabout. Find their blogs, get yourself invited to the Friday pub trips (or just turn up and get talking; if you've got what it takes to start and run a business successfully, that won't be a problem for yo

"I hope you find a solution to your problems, it's not fair if you work really hard at something and get nothing back for your effort." That implies I could spend a year writing a million godawful poems and it would be unfair not to pay me

Piracy drives innovation and better ways of delivering content to customers. I want to pay a fair price to watch a single episode of something once, at my convenience. I do not want to buy an overpriced DVD boxed set that I will watch one e

If you want to talk about tech only in the Western world, that's great. Stating that the West "is really the only part of the world where we can meaningfully talk about technology" is just nonsense, though. Technology can be applied everywh

This also requires a functional computer, a steady power supply for it, and an internet connection reliable enough and fast enough to handle it. In large portions of the globe, this is laughable. A telephone needs a couple of wires and can

Such nonsense. Horrifically US-centric in dealing with a global technology, and ignoring that tone of voice carries so much information in a conversation that simply cannot be expressed well in the written word (despite the heroic attempts

"Reading this thread, it occurs to me once again how countercultural the Sermon on the Mount is, and how hard it is to seriously live it." On the other hand, the reward (if you believe it) is eternal paradise of some kind. Infinite good in

The off-topic HN posts are getting silly. This isn't coding, or business, or some kind of cool interesting hack. It's not even interesting and could be summed up in a few words instead of a long, rambling .... ah, fuck it, HN is over anyway

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll rephrase. That is so not true. Don't extrapolate your own pitiful lack of morality onto others. If you have to explicitly remind yourself not to sexually assault people, it doesn't mean everyone else does too. Is that be

" Definitely the only thing that keeps people back from sexual assault is consciously deciding not to." That is so not true. Don't extrapolate your own pitiful lack of morality onto others. If you have to explicitly remind yourself not to r

"I'll probably get downvoted for asking, but I'm curious, would everyone be as upset over this had it been a drunken female guest inappropriately grabbing a guy's package?" Your analogy is flawed. It ignores a fundamental biological differe

The HN title of this needs fixing - I think Kasparov is talking about innovation within the U.S. (although the article itself is maddeningly unclear, saying "thinks the U.S. has become complacent when it comes to innovation" but then seemin

You copied out two of the course descriptions and gave us the meaningless syllable "meh" as the sum total of your analysis. That's not insightful. It's not clever. It's not funny. My guess is that you think these are actually arts courses w

"It sounds like you chose to stop learning about cars after manufacturers stopped using carburetors." Read what I said again. You'll find that actually all you can infer is that I have a car with carbs; there's no information there on how m

I have an engine that I can directly fiddle with, using one hand to rev the engine whilst the other messes with the carbs. Most new cars (in developed Western economies) come with a big cover over the engine, forbidding the user to touch th

That's over a hundred a day. Bollocks. This "study" has people in their mid thirties sending ten a day, which also seems ridiculous. Some of them, sure, but on average? Nonsense.

I might be interested in buying this if I could see the freaking hardware and software requirements of the phone. Even a list of phones that work with it would be a start. Is this definitely a real product and not some kind of spoof? How ca

I browsed through half-a-dozen pages, including "How it works" and "Product Tour" looking for the phone hardware and software requirements. No sign of them. I am not going to buy something without this information, and you have not made it
