A friend of mine was part of the team that made the decision for UHC to participate in AT&T's new sponsored data program. When I found this out, I tried to point out the broader implications of a shift towards pay-to-play, but had

My children have learned to read from iPad apps. That's as good as gold for me. Better, even.

Perhaps even fewer - there are 5 Apple stores in the Minneapolis area and there was only 1 gold 5s available at each store on launch day.

If this report is accurate, I sincerely hope Apple also addresses the (scam) services that offer pay-for-ratings deals. As it stands, it seems that changes in the rankings push devs towards a payola type system that essentially requires as

After reading that article, you still want a citation showing that someone could be homeless and happier than those kids? ReallY? Maybe re-read the article?

You would characterize being a YC founder as a tenuous connection to HN? Really? Huh.

IIRC, one of his examples at the beginning of Outliers was a group of Canadian boys who excelled at hockey - in part because they were among the oldest in their cohort, and thus had more opportunity for practice and growth relative to their

The idea that the level of discourse on HN is high? Compared to say, Reddit? Or YouTube comments? No, not a joke. It's my perception that many of the folks participating on HN are, well, both gifted and engaged in the world. Do yo
