Unfortunately, there's also a high cost to people who are christians but are not young earth creationists. Nye actually did a good job pointing out that many reconcile their faith and science and that he was specifically debating Ham&#

It's awesome this feature is supported (I've seen some cases where it's needed) and that Stripe is so responsive to their customers. FYI Recurly supports this as well. Just remember, if you have customers on 2 subscriptions,

Look, I'm fully aware what I'm asking for WRT California is a pipe dream. I just worry about the profit motive and price of the bootcamps. The jury is still out on their effectiveness and the price is out of reach for many of the

I'm not really pro-regulation but this might be a good thing. I feel like we're in a "bootcamp bubble" at the moment. As much as I'd like for every bootcamp to have altruistic motives, some seem like a money-grab

Is there something that $1B buys you that $500M doesn't?

Yeah, this is not a good blog post. I feel like the author did some basic Google'ing for content without doing much due diligence or checking dates. Also, I've seen Carbonmade come up in lists before [1], but I wouldn't ever

You extrapolated my comment quite a bit. "Doing something" and "complaining" are not mutually exclusive–nor was my complaint about "how annoying the world is". EDIT: wanted to also add I had no intention/f

I'm all for criticism that involves actual analysis and attempts to be constructive. That's not what I saw/see here. "Show HN" posts are specifically for criticism because (a) the OP asks for it and (b) we can actua

The initial comments appeared to me to be skewed toward criticism that was negative and/or tangential to the book's goals. It appears to have improved somewhat.

The comments on this thread make me want to quit HN for good. I don't know Linda but I volunteered at RailsGirls in SF this past weekend. It was a wonderful experience and I'm hoping to organize one here in my area. I've got

Yeah, its a bummer because my 9 y/o daughter really loves DrawQuest. It would be nice if some other mobile/gaming company bought the assets and kept it alive.

There seems to be 2 philosophical camps in the startup world when it comes to design/execution. There's the Rap Genius approach of make something wanted and get it out there asap even though it looks like crap . Then there's

Hmmm, I'm in the "Mature" product phase and $0 funding level. My salary is quite a bit higher than the averages in those 2 charts. Maybe I'm an anomaly. Like dangero said, it's probably focused on 20-somethings. I&#

FYI Google Ventures participated in 2 of Nest's funding rounds, including leading their series C last year. I can't say exactly if/how this affects the acquisition but it does feel like some of the money is just traveling in

This map should be filtered or adjusted for universities/students somehow. If you zoom in on my city (San Luis Obispo, CA), you'd think 30% of the entire city lived below the poverty line. This isn't true (our median home pri

I'm a Rails dev and use GD for all my domains and most of my SSL certs. The service and UI has actually improved drastically in the past months. But, yeah, I wouldn't use them for hosting anything.

What distances is something like this accurate to? I just ordered a 3DRobotics Iris and I'm interested in mounting some thermal/IR/multi-spectral imaging to it ... could something like this work from the sky?

I'm a big sidekiq fan but you've got my interest piqued ... aside from the nice approach to retries/failures, the best thing about sidekiq for me is ease of production setup/deployment. Redis is easy to install and sidek
