This article seems a little sensationalist. Just because a journal had an article about it with a cartoon attached doesn't mean they've adopted as a "mascot" or make light of the condition. My wife has been doing crossfi

Is this why the velociraptors at the San Diego Natural History Museum are fuzzy/furry? [1] My dinosaur knowledge comes from Steven Spielberg so I was a little taken aback when I saw this last month. [1] http://www.flickr.com&

This might be a weird question and totally based on anecdotes but: are you a good speller? I have a lot of friends who were homeschooled and/or homeschool their kids. I've also hired some and gone to school with some. One thing I

As a non-atheist (christian), it's nice to have common ground on this view. It's a shame IMO that U.S. christians are so closely linked with anti-environmentalism (and the republican party, but that's for another day) but ste

I'm hoping you either didn't quite grasp it or you're joking. Arrington is CrunchFund's founder. He was on the judging panel AND an investor in the company which won. This is a conflict of interest on the level of NBA r

That's fine, then TC shouldn't put any CrunchFund people on the judging panel.

Arrington is a judge and CrunchFund is a seed investor of the winning company. Stay classy, TechCrunch.

Fair enough ... but ... I feel like actual impostors are way more endemic in startup/tech than those with imposter syndrome. Plus, actual impostors are just as likely to latch onto advice like this.

Seriously, WTF. I hate this "fake it til you make it attitude" and I see it both in the startup industry and the one we work in (photography). This works for Conan and actors because the worst-case is he has a bad show. It can w

Issues with Quora aside, I think it's actually coming from people inside the bubble of startups/design/ux who want to complain without actually testing things. I often show my wife sites/apps that might interest her. I&#

Could it also be a supply-chain move? Using the 4S means different screen and other internals. Easier to source without risking shortages of 5C/5S components. Just a thought.

Exactly. We process over $1M a year with Braintree (that's why I posted this article). In my opinion, PayPal is the worst possible scenario short of Braintree shutting down. The thought of forcing thousands of customers to re-enter bil

I don't know why design snobbery grates on me so much but it does. Take for example Coca Cola. They have been around for 100+ years and their logo has evolved over that time [1]. Did anyone care? NO. Did they care when they changed the

Your comment implies that (a) everyone on HN is an atheist and (b) religious people are incapable of logical/rational thought. I don't think that's true.

Ok, got this cloned and installed. If I'm moving from Sublime to vim, where do I go now? I know a few basic vim commands (switch modes, edit, write, quit) but have never used it to work on a complete project in a directory.
