It's got to be really frustrating, knowing where your laptop is but not being able to have the police get it. Any lawyers want to chime in on whether the owner has a right to reclaim his property legally? May be if it is in plain sight in t

If they use them in India and have the same safety record (no at-fault accidents), I'll start suspecting they have sentient A.I.

The good thing for a project like this in India is that labor is relatively cheap. Hiring semi-skilled technicians / drivers to drive the street view camera van will probably not cost much. Back of the envelope calculation: ~3M Km of roads

I see most of "Make something people want" but none of "Relentlessly Resourceful". If I were making a YC T-shirt that's what I would put on it.

Google makes a cult of academic success in hiring but they are not immune to the general principle that it often takes naughty people to do revolutionary things in a largely rule driven system. If you look at the actual 'rainmakers' at Goo

I myself use profanity from time to time in in-person discussions with people I know, so this may seem a bit hypocritical. The reason I try not to do it online though (or in person with strangers) is because I have marked that when you use

Yes I agree, his point that there are better sources could have been made without the ad hominem implication. I also think profanity doesn't help civility.

Agreed that the ad hominem implication to the commenter was unnecessary.

There are better sources for a counter-argument than Steve Sailer I think, although even Sailer attributes the decline to a stronger effect of the Crack crack-down, if Wikipedia is to be believed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Impact_of

I don't want to debate about whether some random Internet person I first heard about today is racist, but I was curious enough to Google it and found this wikipedia article describing the author of iSteve.com. It may help provide some conte

Makes you wonder what harmful things we are being unknowingly exposed to now, that in 20 years will be correlated with serious negative effects on individuals or societies.

So the Freakonomics guys famously (and controversially) attributed the decline in crime in the 90's to four factors, abortion being the most controversial [1]: – Increased reliance on prisons – Increased number of police – The bursting of t

It's nice to hear about the positives of TechStars but there is an undercurrent of YC criticism in the article ("isolationist","cookie cutter" etc) that seems unfounded coming from someone who admits they weren't there and it distracts the

I think it's a mistake like the other poster mentioned. I am not a regular reader of Vanity Fair, but their general writing style must be really bad for you to attribute this to it :)

I would love to see all software patents abolished. I feel conflicted about having my name on several software patents - on account of working for (or co-founding) companies that needed defensive IP. Had I not been on the receiving end of a

Am I missing something, or do the last three paragraphs in that article, which refer to Marvel superheroes, have nothing to do with the rest of it about Mark Pincus?

The "high end tiffin set" linked from the article costs $85. You could probably buy it for under $20 at your local Indian grocery store. If you are in a large city it's quite likely within 10 miles of where you live/work.

I think you will find that the college pedigree bias is prominent everywhere amongst Indians. It's sad. Also, the website in your profile ( http://uncool.in ) does not seem to be up. Wanted to check out your portfolio.

I find it hard to believe that CS grads (or soon to be grads) from MIT would have a hard time finding a job because they don't have 10 years of Java experience. These people always had the option of graduating and finding another job. Inste

Is it possible that one problem is that the downvote is not 'granular' enough? Downvoting a comment could signify that the voter thinks one or more of the following a) It's a stupid comment b) It's a mean comment c) It's a troll d) I disagr

A community can grow only so large before it has to provide some personalization so it is not trying to be everything to everyone. Reddit has subreddits and you can choose the ones from which stories appear on the front page. HN can start w

Everyone should be allowed to speak , because America has freedom of speech, but no, they should not be heard . Hearing implies actually entertaining their absurd and ridiculous claims that have been repeatedly proven false.
