The contrary position is that if a company stays in its rundown office space, it will stagnate, morale will suffer, people will leave and the rest of the operation will shrivel up and die. New space is a reward for ambition, and one of many

I thinks a better question would be is not how to, but should you. See - Bjarne Stroustrup: Why I Created C++ ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBjjnqG0BP8 )

Great post. I am surprised this sub did not do better. It seems that the front page has been occupied by a huge number of posts about the NSA, which were not very on point with HN Guidelines.

I 100% agree with with the sentiment behind this rally, but I often feel that rallies like this in San Francisco are preaching to the choir. They make the participants and observers feel better, but do little to effect real change.

This has to be difficult to stomach. I am very sorry for your loss.

Funny to note, the study cited by the NYT was published by PloS, which was founded as an alternative to subscription based scientific journals and allows articles to be republished under Creative Commons.

I agree with you. The fact that you have to tell users what to do next with arrows and etcetera is much the same as using narration in a movie. It works, but it is a little like cheating. Nonetheless, I like the evolution away from standard

I really enjoyed the look and feel. Much like the NYT Snowfall. Finally some innovation in publishing.

If anyone is curious, this is the first step to monetizing email beyond ads. Fast forward a few years and the store as much content as you want (Gmail model) will be an exception not the rule.

By way of update, word is that only 3 people, including Nick, are going over to Yahoo!. If this is accurate, I am unclear on the long term value of this deal.

I agree. I really don't see the value beyond a few talented search engineers. They lost a lot of people with similar skills in the last few years. Nonetheless, this is a massive premium and I am not sure where the return on this investment

I think this may have less to do with the fulfillment of a long term Google+ type social strategy and more of a reaction to the explosive growth of communication apps like WhatsApp, Wechat, and Line. These apps have grown to critical mass a

It not the size of the GDP that is at issue, bank runs happen out of fear. I can tell you from conversations I have had with friends (not very scientific, admittedly) that people in European countries are legitimately freaked out by this. A

Your conclusion that this action would be lawful in the US is an overstatement. Without contorting the Euro Zone economic rules into the US monetary system, if something like this happend in the US, it would not be a tax, but a seizure of p

I cannot comment on the rights of a person in the EU against seizure of personal assets. In the United States there is a right to due process of law if the government wants to deprive citizens and some other classes of people (long conversa
