It's not really a matter of opinion when everything is lost in translation. I know it can be hard to understand without a basic intro to ancient Greek, but it's like translating a reference to the " Titanic " with "

I disagree about Emily Wilson's Odissey. She translated the first line of the poem as "Tell me about a complicated man". She almost went with "Tell me about a straying husband". Neither complicated nor straying husb

Individual solutions are mostly a fantasy. It's what we tell ourselves because the real solutions are fundamentally at odds with democracy and freedom. A few exceptions aside, people have never voted for a lower quality of life and per

Hi dang. Sorry to ask you here but I wasn't sure how to get in touch with the staff. Have you had the chance to review the email I sent to hn@ycombinator.com? I know you're very busy so I don't mean to rush you. I just want t

It's a very myopic decision on their part if true, even worse than the API pricing update. This will stop any form of viral content on twitter from reaching non-internet people. Forget about sharing that one twitter link to friends or

PHP is still the leading server-side language and it's not even close. 3/4 of the websites you visit everyday are powered by PHP in some form. I would argue that's the perfect server-side language to start solo on anything we

Mutual respect for the public space is key. This is what I mean when I think about high trust environment. Basic example: that computer room full of nice iMacs. How many cases of theft or vandalism would it take for the school to shut it do

The Western media loves to nitpick on Japan because it puts us to shame on almost every front. The country is clean, safe, efficient beyond anything the average Joe can imagine. Let me spell it out for you: Western countries are kind of a s

I have mixed feelings on calling him out by name. It sounds like the person is going through tough times. This obsessive behaviour doesn't describe someone who's living a happy, fulfilling life. The bug reports might be his flawe

I agree and I should have used a different verb than "reach". "Maintain" might be more apt. Maybe I know what you mean: I feel that way when I'm driving through my old hometown. My grandparents used to leave the key

Multicultural societies, like empires, seem unlikely to ever reach a state of high trust. I'm struggling to find any historical counter-proof. The USSR tried to meld different cultures together for over half a century and its dissoluti

I don't mind having multiple/recurring threads on some topics. They serve different purposes: my main goal was to raise awareness on an event that seemed neglected by my country's newspapers. Then, if people catch up on the i

Fifteen years gone by watching tech fads come and go. Was that time well spent? This website had a huge influence over my worldview and I often find myself searching through the archived comments for all sorts of topics. Here&#x
