My question is, if reddit were on that list, would the moderation system be able to prevent it turning into Digg? I don't think it could, although maybe the subreddit system could. Places like /r/politics/ are fairly useless for intelligent

They just launched, in 2010, and it's IE only? Plus a link to a pdf of the DMCA in the bottom corner for no apparent reason. Wow, just wow.

Political analysis is often hard because you can't control all of the variables. However we can look at very similar groups under different modes of governance. Hong Kong. British-derived institutions and law. 12th on the Corruption Percept

A well told story about great people. And also a refreshing break to have people who know about Engelbart rather than trying to locate all UI design on a certain infinite loop in Cupertino.

Hey John I know you are around HN and might look at this thread. I really want to hear what your opinion is of http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ I've always thought a unification of it with jquery/node.js/processing.js into one u

The effort of collecting and recording all this data must be huge. And without proper experiment design it's not really worth it (was it going off coffee or his other simultaneous efforts?). I already know I procrastinate too much on reddit

Modded you back up my friend. This is just about the the most laughable link I have ever seen on HN. It highlights the total and utter meaninglessness of the Apple "fanboi", writing whining blog posts about the revelation that a phone is go

Come on, it's a hardware update on a phone that changes the shape a little. Yes you can say you don't agree with Gizmodo and think it reflects badly on them. But that's only worth a passing comment in a pub with friends or a comment here on

It's very frustrating to be able to edit 1080p video and play it back easily on my 64bit Linux machine but have Flash stutter many low res videos all over the web. I can't wait until the day when Flash, Adobe and Microsoft all have their fo

This is a massive exaggeration. I went from OSX to Ubuntu and I am more productive on Ubuntu in interface terms. The dock is very silly and graphical when you have quicksilver or gnome-do. Chrome is a better browser and browser UI experienc

Exactly this is stooping incredibly low. Here's a different story: A king called an electrical engineer and a computer scientist together and gave them a task best suited to an electrical engineer (something which the computer scientist ver

I think I may have accidently downvoted you, sorry. Either that or by the time I returned to the tab you were at -1 but still being displayed as 1 to me as I hadn't refreshed. I think you are correct as GNU/Linux has largely followed Micros

This is not really hacker news. I am sure most people here also are aware of reddit et al and are capable of being on both sites if they want stuff like this.

Miguel never ceases to amaze me on that front. Given he's not a stupid person I have reduced it down to a psychological explanation regarding his early days - getting denied after an MS interview and it turning into an obsession to prove hi

The pressure to publish is so high, promotions et cetera all rely on it. Putting together large datasets can be can be costly and time consuming and the hope is often to get a few publications out of it. I think citations need to acknowledg

Theoretical reliability and lifespan is much higher than that of mechanical drives. There have been bad "batches" of SSD drives from one or two companies, but there are from mechanical drive companies too. "Thus Intel will guarantee that yo

It's getting pretty close, with various 32 gigs under $100 and 40gigs and 60gigs in the $100-$200 range. $130 for a 40gig Intel for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167...

"if it tastes good, spit it out" I am always glad when loonies reveal themselves easily and I don't need to pay them any more attention. What complete bollocks.
