Umm, the federal govt already runs a couple of massive health care systems. They don't do what single payer advocates promise, so why do you think that obamacare will? What are you talking about? Members of VA, Medicare and Medicaid love

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was necessary to make it so convenient for you. I expect the readers of HN are capable of doing Google searches or browsing through http://www.opensecrets.org/ . Next time I'll be sure to include a complete l

While it's true that a handful of states have health plans, it would be advantageous to have a federal health plan, due to economies of scale. Furthermore, a federal health plan would ensure some consistency from state to state, making it e

For years I've said that Apple is by far one of the scariest software companies out there. The enthusiasm for their products and CEO seems to have a blinding effect on the very same people that would normally be up in arms. I think it would

Nope, I was in Chrome on Amazon.com and there was a big banner to the right on the home suggesting I download IE8 optimized for amazon.com. You can probably still see the same ad. Do you see any alternative pages with toolbars for Firefox,

Wow, I wonder what Microsoft did to get this sort of promotion. I never would've thought that Amazon would promote a particular browser, especially IE8.

The NOLOH PHP Framework includes Comet out of the box without any work or configuration. A brief video on this can be found from the Confoo Web Conference this past March, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r0FR0Dx4zE . This includes support

There's nothing I said that conflicts with the Wikipedia article. As someone that has seen a medical professional related to burning out, I can say with confidence that some R&R coupled with a change of pace, and focus can be very helpf

You're burnt out, it happens, more so in the thinking oriented fields. As some of the other comments mentioned, you need a break. Fortunately my gf forces me to take time away from work, otherwise I would be burnt out half the year.

The numbers are slightly misleading. 40% of those projects are gists (pastebin like service). While those gists COULD turn into full projects, it's doubtful. Thus the number is more like 600,000 hosted projects.

They already rejected RunRev( http://www.runrev.com ) for the iPhone and iPad. The modern day descendant of Hypercard. They have no interest in bringing back Hypercard. RunRev's CEO thoughts: http://www.runrev.com/company/runrev-blog/revmo

Although I don't use XCode, I'm not sure how I feel about it suggesting minor fixes such as the == example. I enjoy writing a line seeing an issue and then solving it, or at least having to scan it with my eyes. While I'm sure it's not an i

Yes, just like AJAX. The demand for skills in what's currently a vague buzzword increases. To me this only demonstrates how misunderstood HTML5 is, as many of the features that fall under the HTML5 umbrella have been in use for years. I'm s

I think using Knuth's Art Of Programming as an example is somewhat flawed. It's not your run of the mill set. The only reason why I wouldn't pay you as much for the paper collection versus the hardcover set I have on my shelf is that I cons

Much of the functionality they mention can be done with other Editors. We've used edit-in-place for the past several years, even with things like CKEditor. There's nothing that forces you to need to do a page-reload to load CKEditor or othe

Why wouldn't you consider a virtual magazine a complete product? Even when you buy a magazine in physical form you're paying for the content. Personally, I never go to a newsstand and base my purchase on the physical properties of the magaz

Sure, if the magazine is less, it's price should be less. However with many magazines it isn't the publishing that's the most expensive part of the magazine, but rather, it's the reporters, editors, designers, etc. As I said previously, of

I told HP's Andrew Bolwell that what I really wanted were magazines priced like iPhone apps. Give me really good $2 magazines and I'll buy them all day long. A $10 magazine on the iPad? Probably not. It's very hard for me to understand th

While I can recognize there designers that are the exception, it's silly to think and expect your designers to have this ability. The fact of the matter is that most don't. The same use true for developers. By and large the ones that do are

It would seem by your definition they're not designers. The fact that they know "tons of JS" would imply they have at least knowledge of basic programming concepts, which is something I would not want, nor expect a web designer to know. The

Remember, it's Apple, no dissent is allowed. Frankly, most companies would probably do the same thing. You wouldn't want a highly negative thread in your forums. That might make potential customers question their zeal and wait for the next
