In many places the vocal minority controls the media. I guess this popularity issue is not a Asian thing only. A significant large number of silent people in Germany I assume is supportive of Hitler's work --- that's what my impression is a

I guess that might have to do with load these search engines generate. Previosly in a thread we checked that comments posted in HN appear in google search after a minute of posting. That should create a good amount of load on HN. Multiply i

I don't know. I read the original article and felt he was talking about building numerous cheap apps and selling those to get rich quick instead of building a single one and hopping it will take over the market. I did not felt like he was t

I think the parent is implying that while discussing with any second party, it is easier to mutually agree on which one is an issue and which one is details --- compared to discussing on the problem itself and finding a resolution.

I don't even understand the broken window fallacy. The broken window repair does seem to increase GDP, as long as G means Gross (Gross Domestic Product). Of course the net gain is zero, but that's not what GDP mean, I think.

There is also the other side of the story. Read a few stories on Steve Jobs (just google) and how he behaves with Apple Engineers and Designers (hint: worse than what one guesses) and how they ultimately turn that in into profit (better pro

> You guys should see the evilness that is Access, the inconsistencies there make this look like nothing. And it's a black art with almost no documentation anywhere. Are you talking about MS Access? It's about 15 years old. There should

If we look back at human history and extrapolate that trend, 500 years on we could be worse off than what we are now in technology. Civilizations no matter how strong they look, have a trend of rising and falling. And when it falls, it's kn

5. The functionality of the docs hasn't kept up with Clojure. 6. Debugging facilities also have not kept up with the state of Clojure. These two are the first thing I check before trying to use any programming language.

Best advice of this century in it's class. I don't know why we are still wasting our time with calculus while I see a lot of people suffering in their daily life because of their lack of understanding in probability theories and statistics.

I am still using TextPad which I started using since 90s. But wish I could jump to something better. TextPad is now dead with no update for, what 6 years? No v.5 doesn't count as update, it's downgrade. No Unicode, only more fancy GUI. Swit
