Fascinating. I agree with the analysis that the Internet is giving more power to 'voters' because the content that gets talked about the most (and thus voted on) is the one they consume the most. However, I think there's some

One could argue every passenger on a bus saves some fraction of a car trip. Even if the total number of car trips saved is a much smaller number than the total number of cars, there's a 'breakeven' point above which the pain

I think they're betting the group of people who pay them $52/year will more than make up for it, at least in the short term.

It was a first stab in 15 minutes this morning between meetings. What would you do differently? I'm all ears (trying to learn here, too)!

This got me thinking - is it possible to develop a profitable long-term investment strategy that takes advantage of stock market dips? For example, say I have $1000 to invest every month. I'll take that $1000 and put $500 into an index

I am incredibly happy to see the pride Ballard takes in his work. He has taken a huge lump of fame (finding the Titanic) and found ways to turn it into a massively valuable scientific project. I hope our country continues to fund exploratio

Portland is not bad. The winters are rainy and by the city can be expensive, but it's fairly relaxed and is close to absolutely gorgeous scenery. Southeastern Virginia (York County and some of Virginia Beach) have some good schools and

On the other hand, for potentially significant security holes, answering those questions would make attacking the devices easy. I imagine more detail will come out in a postmortem once the affected devices are updated. I may be overly optim

This is really cool. I'll have to take a look into it for my personal blog for no other reason than to have some fun with a new technology.

I'm busy reading his article on Paxos & of course I find this here. Feels like a classic case of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon. Regardless, oh my goodness. When you see the solution spit out you just wanna drop your head on the des

I never heard of a Myo before this article. However, I am extremely intrigued! The idea of magically waving my hand and doing actions is awesome. What if I can make a fist to take a picture, or touch my pinky with my thumb to answer a phone

While I think the whole situation is ridiculous (how would you even make a car less gas-efficient on the fly?), consider the many laws broken each day by large companies with the $ to make the suits disappear.

The negotiating position of people with these devices is already close to nothing. Auto financers can make it a take it or leave it situation, and the consumers often have no choice but to take whatever deal they're given. Especially s

This is so insanely cool. I plan to get a GoPro some day soon and will take it on hikes in the Pacific NW. If I could turn my hikes into beautiful time-lapses like these, I'd be blown away.

Three makes company? I'm in an older (~1930) building in Belltown and have only heard my neighbor above me one time (I think a chair fell over or something). Honestly, the biggest source of noise for me is outside in the summer months

And this train goes back to the "perceived effort" vs "actual effort" approach to compensation. Fundamentally, is 60+ hour weeks sustainable, even if you love your job? Many in HN might view burnout, or an unwillingnes

This is an interesting opinion to me. My background: I had a "dumb phone" until Sept. 2012 when I bought myself an iPhone 5 as my first smartphone. I'm a large guy (6'4") and have been more than pleased with the siz

I hope you can see why this example of basic arithmetic is really neat. It reminds us that there are hidden patterns everywhere. Oftentimes, we can determine why the pattern exists with math. It never hurts to be reminded how cool it is to

Yes, there are quite a few construction contractors who require they be paid an amount before they begin work. They then either don't even show up, do an awful, intentionally half-finished job, or simply quit to never be heard from aga

Congratulations, Jennifer. I really appreciate the lessons learned here. Like my favorite college professor (and I'm sure many others, as it is a fairly popular quote) would say: Sometimes you have something that looks really ugly and
