I agree with everything except for the past tense "failed". I would use the (pause while I look this up) present perfect. Linux has failed on the desktop so far, but with influence from Android platforms and the availability of cross-platfo

Indeed, the Silicon Valley new building curse is well-known: http://news.cnet.com/Can-Google-beat-the-new-office-curse/21... Also: a "paradise workspace" with open seating? Bleah.

I'm over 40, and I certainly have! Downs can be detected in time for an abortion, but it means that you have to get pregnant all over again, and risk Downs and the various other bad mutations again, and risk miscarriage for whatever reasons

I've just been re-reading the first one. Action-packed, full of fantastical gizmos, and with just the right amount of snottiness. And yes, as is mentioned elsewhere, a very hackerish attitude towards life, especially on the social engineeri

The points are pretty well-worn; I think he is making fun of advice to writers. Do you really think he thinks keeping a dream journal is a good idea?

This is a humor piece, not a guide (for HN readers who click on comments first).

Actually, headlines are usually (like, almost always) written by an editor and not the author. So Tabibi should be off the hook on that count.

The arrows between the space keys are an interesting idea, but all those keys between the letters? Yuck. Also, it's hard to write code that uses arrays when there aren't any "[" or "]" keys.

This was a great summary. I don't know that going from 20-25% unique searches to 16% is "killing", though. Some of that is just going to come from the space of possible search strings getting used up.

For me, To-Do Lists solve the problem of choice paralysis. They don't solve the author's problem, which others have pointed out is time management.

Yes. That and this, "If this bill really did some of the things people have heard it would do (like shutting down YouTube), I would never have supported it." indicate that he still doesn't technically get it.

As an engineer, I find almost every aspect of this resume to be horrible. The one non-horrible part is the amount of money he claims to have raised for his various projects, because it is related to actual job performance. But since he want

I recall a Halloween night in SF where I and my SO waited over two hours and had to share a cab with two other partygoers who did not live particularly close to us. I would have killed (ok, maimed) for the chance to use Uber.
