So, where would HN users move their money in a scenario like this? My homecountry is on the default list.

What NASA (and society as a whole) needs is less focus on safety. Go do some wild things & if volunteers die in the process, accept that risk.

Welcome, & glad you're enjoying Europe. People should travel more, then at least they'd see different (if not better) ways of doing things.

I wonder is some kind of reverse flattr would cut out the trolling: as a commenter I have the option of paying a little money to comment, with a nice filtering option for non-paying commenters, maybe the default?

I honestly didn't get what favstar is trying to do. What's your site?

I many ways, nagging guilt can be a strong motivator for spoiling children. Guilt for leaving behind a world that seems worse off than when you entered it. Stop doing that! The younger generation has to understand that never before huma

ok, after hunting around a bit on the site, it seems their iPad app is not available outside of the US: http://i.imgur.com/alErf.png

I'm sorry, I don't get it: how? Do I download an app? Do I buy the pdf & manually transfer it to my iPad?

Interesting, when I saw the video I was immediately thinking it must have been a kiter dreaming up this contraption ;-)

Offshore wind generation seems to be an obvious win, although the materials will have to be tougher.

I'm in the process of doing this myself. I was wondering if there's any framework to help with creating these kinds of pages? Like a Wordpress template for doing these kinds of product pages or A/B tests?

Think about that again: if you're a software developer $500 is like what, 5 hours worth of work? You only get one chance to validate this, so you'd better do it right. After you've spent $10000 or more in development time is not a good ti

I'm curious about something: is doing a full reprint of the NYT page like this acceptable use? How's the conversion on that blog entry?

More like, wow! Creationists daring to post on HN! Who would've thought? I'm kinda curious what was deleted actually.

And as far as I know, the value of SNPs is debatable at best.

Sometimes those warm & fuzzy feelings are exactly the comfort an entrepeneur needs: just some positive vibes without substance.

Maybe a smart pre-emptive strike against twitters annotations?

Yes, that is the depressing truth about the app store: it works like a magnifying glass for society & the only conclusion I can draw is ... junk sells.

I wonderd if setting up a specific service/framework for liveblogging on events like this could be a viable business? Or is twitter + #hashtags enough?

And what is wrong with that?

Could you define a level of bureaucracy that would be acceptable to you? 10%? 20%? 30%? While many charities are woefully inefficient, so are many businesses. And charities don't live in some kind of vacuum: inefficient charities fail jus

Ok, here comes my guess: volume. Whenever I make tea in one of those massive cups, it doesn't taste bitter after 1-3 refills. I have Chinese family over for the weekend, so I'll ask & post back here.

Well, the data is out there in the clear, so I don't mind. Maybe that way actually some hackers will show up in the Zurich area on your site ;-)

I'm not sure how that affects the economy, but it certainly is a bad thing for a country. Not everyone can be a white-collar button-pusher; if no labor-based jobs exist anymore you'll make a significant portion of your citizens very unhappy

Qualified opinions are boring and don't sell newspapers, better to ask the 'man in the street'. As a bonus, if that man in the street spews extremist ideas, you can do the 'both sides of the debate' trick.

Lycos? How cute! I agree that the problem is power, but I'm not convinced regulation is going to do anything. On the one hand we have network effects at play creating major power hubs (The Kingdom of Facebook) but on the one hand we also ha
