Why people constantly stick to the idea that all possible organisms must have similar biochemistry to us is beyond me. Think about it: Out of the humongous search space of chemicals, the ones we use happened to work for us. A combination of

Totally in agreement in theory. But sadly, people in general are knee-jerk reactors who aren't really interested in abstract thought of this level. Or am I being too cynical?

I do not think a large amount of bands were promoted in the old days, just that the ones that did were made into gods by the talent pushers. I think you have a much better position these days, especially with all the free testing (samples a

The following sentence shall have the property of verbal irony. You spelled awkward wrong, asshat.

This sounds like a good idea. The examples in TFA are bit too far to the managerspeak side for me. Can you give some examples, though? I can't really see how you could turn, say, the "budget" issue from TFA into a self-deprecating thing. Bu

Just having a red box around the bad part of the submission form is not enough. I didn't even notice the box had changed color for like 20 seconds, because the border is so thin. But you need some text too.

Are you saying that's not true? Certainly males are more aggressive than females (like in many mammalian species), and certainly women have caring, child-rearing instincts.

My guess as to why she's "randomly selected" so much is the way she holds herself. Having been a cop, she probably has much different body language from everyone else.

It seems, as with many other things, everyone wants to see this as a black-and-white issue: "Are they one people or two people? They can share thoughts!" We're of course not used to it, but the fact is there's a continuum here. They are mor

Was he not the songwriter? Is it not harder to lead than to follow? Or are you just saying teeth aren't that important in the grand scheme of things?

This looks like a really well-written blog, but the way it has [tweet] links scattered around everywhere REALLY puts me off. It comes off as extremely arrogant. I hope Rob reads this...

Looks like an upgrade to current treatment, not a wholly new one: they're using it as a sidekick for radiation therapy.

Well, it's certainly more than you've been offered. So do you really need the money you've been offered? Especially since you'd be giving up part of the company for it? I really doubt it. Also it sounds like YC may have rejected you because

So... what happened to that $1m exit? Have you already used it all on your new company? Why are people trying to give you money if you already have a ton?

I think it's worth talking about. For half a century, nearly the whole country has been glued to the TV and told (sometimes more subtly than others) what to think. That we are breaking free of that is newsworthy.

Come on dude, don't be a troll. Here we have a personal blog post of a guy who isn't bragging about not having a TV, but explaining the flaws he sees in American TV. It's a blog - it's the guy's thoughts. He's not constantly bringing it u

Awesome. Sadly, this person is getting advice to "lawyer up" when it's really unnecessary to even get a lawyer involved. In these types of cases lawyers would just complicate things.

That's looking at it the wrong way. Look at the percentage of immigrants who are creating jobs, not the percentage of job-creaters who are immigrants. Or net jobs created by immigrants. Or something.

Patrick: so you got $370 from the promotions, but $6024.45 in sum? That seems off. Where'd all the other money come from? Were people just searching for "Bingo Cards" and bought through your normal site, or something?

Poetic, but not particularly informative.

So, are you trying to be unhelpful, or...? This guy had the guts to do what people dream of. And you're here admonishing him for writing about it?

Jeff Vogel's been building computer games for 16 years, and his kids are younger than that. He runs his own company, but it's probably different than the companies people around here imagine themselves making. Anyways, http://jeff-vogel.bl

Found this sentence confusing: "One of their problems is that other people are cooler than they are because those people have technology that they haven't used yet." You're saying early adopters want try to be impressive by using new techno

I believe it, at least the general conclusion that sitting at a desk for 40 hours a week, plus sitting in your car for another 5-10, probably ain't that good for your health. It ain't what your body was designed to do.

You don't think it's important for people to learn long division? Other than being one step away from total technological reliance, these kinds of exercises are way of teaching the relationships between numbers , which is INCREDIBLY import

That is a totally tangential idea. The point is to not get in the way of what your user wants to do. TFA says nothing about simplifying the feature set. Also, do you really think all those who use butlers/maids/servants are idiots?

Hm - are you saying your sales haven't grown, or that they've grown 28x?

So you actually took the 75% A classes? Did you learn a lot from those profs, or were they just giving the As away? I would figure that, knowing nothing else about the prof, the one with grades in the middle would be the most effective teac
