I agree - although I view it a bit different. I always feel a disconnect with black and white photos, as if it's something that happened centuries ago or not at all. These photos somehow make it feel more "real".

I always have trouble wording it in a way that doesn't convey that logic.. I just mean there's much more resistance to go through to vet your idea, for better or for worse. The NY tech community has a lot of the same personality as the HN

Seconded. I rarely interact with those types, and I work for a major consulting company in the city. There are multiple ways to avoid that crowd, starting with staying out of Murray Hill. The thing I love about New York is the inherent cha

Whenever I read these articles debating the value of a college degree (which I think this article isn't about, but that seems to be the way everyone is interpreting it), the argument is always treated as a black and white issue and it's not

Absolutely. Its always a balance.. I'm speaking more towards avoiding the lavish lifestyle of club bottle service, expensive cars and other luxuries. Its the expensive car payment and mortgage or rent that gets you in trouble.

Can't emphasize this enough. I've talked to countless people unhappy in their career that can't get out of it because of a family and an addiction to their current lifestyle. They continued to expand their spending as their income increme

The font doesn't anti-alias in WinXP (Firefox) - hard to read especially at smaller sizes.

Spot on. If TwitPic is satisfying its users, they won't export to Posterous and stay put. This just looks bad on the part of TwitPic, as they're using legal threats to prevent users from making this choice.

I understand the anger/outrage towards him for what on the surface seems irresponsible. But is it necessary to completely rip him apart repeatedly on Twitter, write a long, harsh blog post, and post insulting comments to hacker news? He se

I think a lot of us can empathize with this theory. Motivation increases as a tangible milestone is in the near term and if nothing is within a reachable distance it becomes increasingly difficult to start down the path. It's similar in co

I just watched this one a few days ago... probably one of the best TED talks I've seen. It's amazing the way she could remember and understand what she was going through and explain it as she does in this talk.

I think his argument comes off as too utopian for me to accept. Like everyone else has said, of course people will want to exploit an easy loophole on someone who has a bit of exposure. I think Posterous hasn't grown to a point where they

I saw this at the New York Tech Meetup and thought it looked awesome. I think he said the waiting list is something on the order of 10,000 people (but he's letting in a bunch every day). He couldn't have explained it better - it's a place

Great idea, for both these companies and consumers. Kind of odd though to have 4 products that last an entire year, 1 for 6 months, and 1 for 2 months.

This article is infuriating. They're effectively trying to social engineer these kids to prevent a few side effects that are crucial in their development. Why is it that we think that kids are somehow meaner now than they were at any other

This is a great real world example of why you shouldn't pay attention to what your competitors are doing, but develop your own product the way you envision it. Regardless of their intent, the truth of the matter is it looks like they're lea

This is one of the best (and easiest to read) articles on pricing I've ever come across. No formulas, no complexities explaining A/B tests and other scientific research, just a story of a guy who made some software and heavily underpriced

This seems like it's trying to build public services based off of the data in the cities' systems. On top of that, I think it's more of a non-profit so I'm assuming (and perhaps incorrectly) that they'd be more welcome as a partner. My tho

What's interesting to me is whether our values will change as this content essentially becomes widely available and free. Currently, we have a perceived value of something based on its cost (see any web app pricing article). Will this evap

I agree. Also, sometimes you need that outside perspective to challenge what you think and provide feedback. You can get this without school through meeting with people in the field and seeking out advisers. It'll take more self motivati

This is one of those awesome stories of a guy getting a crazy idea and just doing it. It looks like he's making some great progress, too.
