As they get older, they accumulate stuff and realize the government's job in protecting said stuff. It's easy to be an idealist (in any direction) when you don't have to sacrifice anything for it.

Welcome! I hope your stay here is enjoyable and expands your knowledge. The FAQ/Guidelines, accessible at the bottom of the page, are a little shaky on voting rings. Try to avoid it if you can, and don't be disappointed if your

Very good point. pg's not under many of the compulsions that our government is, but I at least would like to see him live this one by example. Besides, this is Hacker News, shouldn't we strive for openness/tweaking?

He may have tightened up the restrictions on voting rings. I know one YC user who was banned, and the only issue was that he'd send out links to a couple of friends asking for upvotes. I feel that there's Catch-22 here - so few p

There's an unwritten "unless it relates to SF" exception to that rule (see: the SFO crash last week), as so many HNers live/work here. This is only a few blocks away, I'm very glad it made it to the front page.

Agree 90%. I picked up Awesomenauts in the HIB, and it's been a pleasant overall experience so far. However, their matchmaking leaves a bit to be desired. After a half-dozen games, we were matched with a tier 3 prestige'd playe

My job's in SOMA, a bit closer to Alameda than Mountain View. MV is probably one of the worst places, price-wise. You probably won't find budget housing near there, especially with a family/small child. Aging* millionair

Have you looked into Alameda? It's hundreds cheaper than anywhere in SF proper, quieter/cleaner and my commute's only 20 min.

Well done, in both data crunching and visualizing. I'd love to revisit this in 15 years and see what modern films held up. I doubt TDKR will last (even for being a decent movie). Avatar and TDK will probably continue to be notable f

Wait, you commented on your own submission with this rant? Why bring it up here? We've already hashed out this entire discussion, as you can see in my other comment that you've downvoted.

While this is a noble idea, I don't think it will fly. Learning a large legacy system is a grueling experience. It'll be difficult for your team to adapt. Plus, it'll be difficult to communicate with the users who might no

In the midst of the PRISIM NSA fiasco, it's amazing to see just how awesome we can be with technology when we put our minds to it. Despite big sister Curiosity showing off, it's incredible that this came from Opportunity, a rover

As an avid Minecrafter, I don't see what this adds to Minecraft. Sure, there's more blocks (I actually see that as a downside, increased block resolution means that it takes more work to build something) but what's the killer app? It's al
