Well, unless you're in a one-solution-per-customer type of business like consulting, the first one seems way off track. Who's your boss when you're making a video game? Your millions of potenial users are not going to call you in for a we

Seems like a good solution. But what happens when no one answers your question? Then some guy can just come by and say "ZEEP SHEEP HEAP" and get all your money. How do you choose nothing over him?

Thank you so much! I really need to add "reversing the problem" to my repository of problem-solving techniques, but I just can't seem to find it.

You have to keep both the questioners and the answerers from gaming the system. Questioners could say that none of them are good answers, and answerers could just give crap answers. How do you solve this?

According to the reader. People seem to feel guilty if they don't want to read some book. They shouldn't.

Well, you're probably right about the oxygen thing. I just meant that the chemical mechanisms behind their functioning will be completely different than ours. I mean, some Earth organisms have completely different RNA from ours. I do not ex

Carbon don't enter into it. Just because something has a lot of carbon in it doesn't mean it acts like we do. There are plenty of other things to do with carbon than the ways organisms on Earth use it. DNA? Forget it, that was evolved. Alie

Excellent quote: "If I'm reading a truly, actively bad book, I'll throw it out," he says. His wife will protest, but he points out that he's doing a public service: "If I don't throw it out, someone else might read it." I think people shoul

Hackers, hackers, hackers, why does every thread have a post about how hackers are so great? Can we stop the big circle jerk?

Oh wow! What a revolutionary development in software engineering! I can see this being used at least twenty years in the future.

Could you clarify what you're talking about? Sex? Drugs? Is suicide the desire you're talking about?

Eh. I've seen better XKCDs. I also hope that this sort of thing does not survive on Hacker News, because it doesn't cause you to think or learn.

Too bad, that doesn't change the makeup of the average person's mind.

Sure, we live in prosperity, but at what cost? I'm sure the slave children working for Nike agree with you.

I can think of a few. There's supposedly fuel on the moon. He3, if I'm right. You'd be much more easily able to control space (orbital space), because you'd have fabrication plants on a place with about 1/6 of the gravity, making escaping t

Basically, OP's saying that there is a group of neurons that fire when the person thinks about water. I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Violated," eh? What does that mean, exactly? If it's someone starting a fight, sure, beat 'em up. But you seem a bit overenthusiastic to beat the shit out of people. You may want to take a look at calming down; you might do the exact same

Wait a second, who the hell does this site think it is? I thought this was a pretty good article and all, but then I started reading the one they linked to at the top - the one whose success prompted this article - and in the comments, I st

Man, I love gongs. I think more companies should seriously implement #5 - it'd make work a lot more fun, raising morale.

"Today, these fuckers mean nothing to me." Evidently, they still cause some sort of reaction within you. While you've probably progressed past the author in terms of dealing with it, you still have a bit to before you reach total forgiv

Have you ever had your fingers broken by someone? Unless you're a Buddhist monk, I think you'd be hard pressed to forgive that and multiple similar transgressions.

Oh, come on. Reading a book's as active as watching TV or YouTube. You're still being fed substance by somebody else. All of these have the potential to teach you, but none of them truly involve you.

Possibly - but don't deny that this stuff doesn't happen. You may have been around for Reddit, and that's most definitely changed for the worse since when I started there (I've since quit). Turning into Digg and all that.

How about the name of the disease? Neurotypical? Doesn't take too long to figure that one out.

I don't think it's a chicken-and-egg at all. Users don't need other users for the site to be useful to them, they just need the site to be good. Sure, you'll be more likely to attract new users if you have more - through word of mouth. It

Nice presentation. I need to make a website for a group of mine, so I was kind of interested, but when I saw that Drupal was being used, my enthusiasm dropped. It seems that all CMSes have big security flaws. We got hacked about 40 times wh

Why doesn't this take into account the size of the block you're getting back? 1 pixel from the L1 gets you less data than 8 from the L2, etc.
