   I was in a heated debate about this few nights ago and a drunken conclusion was that Tesla was right and women are due to dominate pretty soon. Amongst the terms in the winning argument lines were, in no particular order: trousers, Candy Cr

   To my eyes, they're trying to bring attention to a non-existant problem (that has been solved pretty darned well with casual games ages ago) to increase readership on a pretty flamey topic, together with their twitter buddies. I believ

   I took it out of insecurity too, early 00s, whatever type Mensa was using then. I still tend to overcompensate too. That's probably not a big of an issue (it's also usually a male thing). >172 (that 172 was the limit because of

   Flow got to be a buzzword mostly to credit of Jenova Chen's (of Thatgamecompany) master's thesis and subsequent game influenced by it - Flow . It happened at around 2007. At least that's my perception of it. It is mostly ass

   This has been submitted several times already to HN, with more detailed articles. (A question, how do you dudes find these duplicates?) tl;dr is that there exists a chamber so quiet that people find it extremely uncomfortable (for various r

   Upvote for not taking this seriously. But no, I don't have office, don't usually drink (can't, destroyed a bunch of parts of digestive system). occasional great non-literal-ass-licking salespeople No. To be perfectly honest

    No, I don't agree with that. It's a dog-eat-dog world if you make it. But world is so far and wide that you can bypass all that crap for the most part. I am not (well, trying not too when I'm zen enough, unlike now with all t

    Correct. And your job as a freelancer is to do the same thing. I'm sorry for you feel that way. You can opt-in in making a meaningful and fruitful business relations instead? Shame it's an opt-in, and not opt-out, though. I gu

    No, not really. From my anecdotal experience, which does include many a project exceeding the amounts you cited, it usually goes like this (paraphrased): Agency's army of spineless sales people [1] spends a lot of time ass licking many

    If HN will excuse my rant... They're parasites and bottom dwellers empowered by the fact that online marketing lowered the entry bar into marketing. During my 5-year experience with them, I quit in one where I worked full-time, worked

    Be careful. That much heat near the display can damage it easily. Better to leave keyboard gathering dust than get hue defects on your display.

    Tell me about it... Just few hours ago I filed a bug report where Mail hoses up at IMAP-fetching Gmail conversations that are at GMail's theoretical limit - 100. Spent too much playing with it last week or so, just to get the core func

    I'm in favor of playing to one's strengths. You're not really keen on networking and it doesn't really suite you? Fine, don't network. You're much better market fit for being better at what you already do well,

    I have no sources for the following, but I think they're a one trick pony. And not because they have a single popular game but just one, well, trick - I think they optimize "random" level generation based on monetization perf

    I had loads of fun sharing mistagged songs on Facebook, fishing for those "less in the known". My favorite mistag is "Freebird" by "Led Zeppelin". Also, I'm of firm belief no one ever fixes that, as I&#x27

    This is live for ages. I think they just started PR around this because it can now not die on iOS 7, running in background. As a side note, try out Leap Motion playback controls on GS (in Settings > Subscription, wtf), they're super

    Take any D&D-inspired RPG character creation system and tell your spouse or life partner "You do me, I'll do you and then we'll compare!" Now say again "It wouldn't be a disaster."

    Few suggestions. Make "Browse domains" more prominent, not just in the footer. Have domains under that somehow ranked. I'd suggest having price listed on click or on visit, so you can grab on that data. Remove "any amoun
