also, the impact of a teacher on a single child can be a lot greater than the impact of a celebrity on a single person. this is not to say that the reverse is not also true, especially if the celebrity is inspiring a young musician or sport

i agree that the "white flight" analogy is a bit much. that reminds me, there are some good comments here: http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/06/30/pdf_tal...

i think you misunderstand homophilia. ok, voted down, maybe for not explaining. alli can bring myself to do is say: the point is not barrier to entry but self-segregation. starting a comment with "Utter nonsense. <article thesis> is

i like these oldies but goodies, too, but can a story from 2004 really be considered (hacker) news ? i don't think the chronologically "what's new" aggregator is not the right solution for "best things of all time". it's no good if this s

i hope so. i'm looking forwards to a livelier collaborative eco-system of open-source or at least open-api modules made by smaller teams rather than h4444ge corporate efforts. i'm not even sure that the economy of scale is true, but even if

when i get old i just hope my mind stays sharp and i meet the (low) physical requirements for typing at a computer, or am able to learn those new-fangled mind-typers.

automobile accidents is the first non-disease on the list, so i think the original claim is correct, even if the lack of statistics blow it out of proportion. IMHO, people underestimate the risk of death and injury from driving. while incit

plus, no drm or big brother. it's super easy to burn tapes/cd's and give them to people. i don't have an ipod, but i hear that everytime it gets plugged into a computer it synchs with itunes, so you can't just give a friend some songs. is t

hmmm. so more like credit in the sense of credit cards. i wonder what the fee comparison is between paypal (3% ?) and accepting credit cards (certainly seems more of a hassle for developers).

gov controlled dystopians and obtuse bureaucracies are often intertwined. for example, mindless obedience to tube in, tube out is a problem protagonists encounter time and again (Brazil, 1984, Anthem).

Danny, thanks for replying so fast. Makes conversing much easier :-) I certainly didn't mean to cast negative light on the post. I sent a link to my friends at work with the text: "Seems like a well intentioned best effort, but there are su

the timeline is neat, assuming it is true. i wish it wasn't framed by the seo part. i'd be interested in a more general and "trustworthy" (i feel weird saying that.. ?!!?) report.

mos def! "as simple as possible" might in fact be quite complex. the mantra is more of an implementation of how to be direct and efficient.

curious: why is this [scribd] when the link is (thankfully) to a raw pdf? oh snap! the [scribd] is a separate link. neat. i wonder if a raw pdf was submitted and [scribd] added, or if the reverse occurred or is possible.

i've also found an inverse relationship between blog reading and hacking, both in myself and others. i'd almost take off points if a new hire was too much into online procrastination or vanity blogging. certainly there are developers i resp

maybe you mean "intelligible web tech discussion". there are plenty of intelligent discussions occurring on the internet by intelligent people who don't know what a browser is.
