Never say never... If you really want to make it, study a subject in depth, show your skills by working on some good projects, open source or not, and you have good chances.

I think you underestimate kids' intelligence. I would worry about constant bombardment from the TV, and product placement in all their favorite shows far more than an event like this :)

You are mixing your terms I think. (2/4)^3 is the chances of the next launch also having a single engine failure. The chances of a single engine failing in a launch based on these four launches should be 2/36, two engines failed out of 36 f

Our minds are much less logical, consistent, or rational than we like to imagine. The concept of cognitive shortcuts is not new, analytical thinking requires effort and energy, so our minds tend to filter out majority of input and process i

So wait, is the only security on the pass information based on the device id being not commonly known?! Wouldn't a simple MITM attack ruin all the fun? Or is this meant to be used over https with device-specific certificates?

Not really. The width remains the same, so it's still usable with one hand. What's there to flip flop about?

Spot on. "For the first time ever we've increased the size of the display. By making the screen taller, but not wider, you can still comfortably use it with one hand." - Jony Ive (quote from engadget's liveblog at http://www.engadget.com/2

I spent nearly two years working on a large codebase with YUI and I agree with everything said here. There are long-standing unfixed bugs, components break on minor version upgrades, there's little transparency into the planning, and there

Yeah, what chad_oliver said, this is a bit childish. What do you win by this?

Unfortunately even if you are willing to debate evolution intelligently, almost nobody else describing themselves as a creationist is. This leads to a general feeling of, how shall I say, beating our heads against the wall when talking to t

Are you saying that it was more religion-friendly in the "old days"? I don't think I've ever seen a single religion-related comment on HN, so I'm not sure where you see a "heavy anti-faith undercurrent". Isn't it more likely that religious

Yes, you should. Whatever time was spent doing this is recouped a hundredfold by making this data so easily accessible to any engineer working on the project. I'd have killed to have this kind of stats at my fingertips, especially on projec

The only thing that we need now is another bot that will post the "happy birthday" messages automatically as well. Once we have both running, no more human involvement will be necessary. Also I found it amusing that the author starts the po

You just spammed my entire friend list with private messages, without my confirmation! I clicked 'import facebook friends' assuming it would simply import their friend id's and message them when I tried to send them something. When I saw th

it's completely nonsensical duckspeak, the hilarious part is how much it sounds like some of the actual conversations in silicon valley.

You really need a brief description of what it actually is. I'm not giving you my email without any idea what you're going to send me.

Very interesting. I would make the "Legal" in intro, and in feature list a link - people will want to know the details, and most of them will not click the tiny link in the footer to the FAQ.

I used darcs for all personal repositories for a couple of years. It has a great UI, but I ended up moving to git for two reasons - a) most projects I was working on with other people were using git, and b) there was nothing like github for
