My prediction is that Bitcoin (or some other alt-coin/cryptocurrency) will eventually become a single worldwide currency. It's reached a point where if a government tries to regulate it too tightly, they will effectively be shooti

I'm curious; will you be looking at comment scores of comments in this thread to help make the decision? There have been a few times when I've been viewing comments in a thread and thought "I wish I was the admin of Hacker News so I could s

Maybe one solution to the problem of comment wars would be to regularly display comment scores but every so often turn them off for a bit of time (a week or a month) to remind the community of the goals of the site. My guess is that if user

I'm basically a lurker (I'm guessing I've probably been around for about two years although I've only had an account for about a year). I frequent Hacker News because it's a good technology news filter that keeps me informed of the latest t

I highly recommend the books "The Innovator's Dilemma" and "The Innovator's Solution" by Clayton Christensen. They basically provide answers to all of your questions. Christensen is the one who coined the term "disruption" as it applies to

You mentioned adding a period for special characters but what do you do for passwords that require capitalization?

I recently switched to historious after seeing it here on HackerNews, and I've been very happy with it so far. It's a great bookmarking service; I'm surprised it hasn't received more attention with the debacle going on at Delicious.

I think this is an accurate assessment based on my own observations. My brother (in his twenties) just told me the other day that the only reason he wants cable is for Monday night football. The one factor that cable companies can rely on i

I view Unity3D with it's web viewer as more of a platform than a 3D engine. Here's a link to an art project built with Unity3D (it may take a while to load - I used Firebug's Net tab to make sure elements were still loading) which I think s

It seems to me that this is a response to Unity 3D - http://unity3d.com/ I've been doing flash development since 2001 but if I had to build a 3D game today, I would definitely be taking a close look at building it using Unity. Flash devel

I realize that a lot of people have issues with FoxNews but it was the best article I came across that fully explained the issues and potential ramifications of the COICA bill. The full text of the bill can be found here: http://www.govtra

It would be great if it was updated so that the links could be opened in background tabs with a mousewheel click like normal links (as of this writing mousewheel doesn't work for me to open new links - FF 3.6.3). I'm a flash developer but o
