Some thoughts: * First of all, good on you for trying to learn how to build stuff. * "I need to learn some Java. Material suggestions?" --> I'm assuming you mean JavaScript. I've heard good things about http://eloquentjavascript.net

Well, that still doesn't make sense. Poor people can be capitalists. Capitalism is actually a legitimate philosophy, not just an excuse rich people use for exploiting the proles.

You're surprised that people on an entrepreneurship website are capitalists?

Good luck! Some specific responses: * You don't need to learn Django to put up a simple marketing page and collect emails. A very simple PHP script will suffice, and for most hosting providers you'll spend less time learning PHP and getti

Good question. SIAI hasn't been filming anything this week, so I could extrapolate from that (with low-moderate confidence) that they generally don't film the talks he gives. I'm not sure if NYU or Yeshiva filmed anything themselves, thou

Tight turns look cool, but they're not especially useful. When they can demonstrate robust resilience to pedestrians, consistently don't think a bird or pebble flying in front of the car is another car, etc., then we'll have something to c

Well I think Google would quite like the opportunity to find and pitch qualified people. I'm sure they'd happily pay $500 for the opportunity to pitch directly a good candidate who just wanted the bonus on his way to a competitor or startu

>The optimal thing to do with those revenues would be to return them to successful applicants: Say, 4% of the 250,000 applicants get job offers and 60% of them accept the job. Then they can get anywhere between $1041 and $4166 in "bonus

You know that you can do web development with Python, right? Django is a great solution for web development.

I prefer the relative concision of "concision" (9 chars vs. 11). Eh, that's my cute answer. I really just think "conciseness" sounds awkward.

I would consider buying a new pair of shoes today through these guys if they supported more than running shoes. That said, what stops someone getting the size recommendation through ShoeFitr and then comparison shopping for the actual sho

As I posted on the other thread (saw that one first, but this has more comments): How is this different from Phone.com's virtual office, which has been out for at least a couple years now? http://www.phone.com/products/virtual-office/

Yes, because they commented on the topic at all, not because of the content of their comments.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain your downvote - thanks. >this isn't just "political crap" as it has many, many implications of the state of the world. I don't know why you think X being classified as political crap precludes

That's true for virtually any topic. Your taking offense at my labeling of politics as politics is unreasonable.

Can we keep this political crap off of HN please? Yes, I've clicked flag, but that's not public. All the people commenting on this thread implicitly approve of its presence on HN - so I feel a need to state publicly that I don't .

I've done 23andMe as well. If anyone's curious I'm happy to answer questions. Without prompting, I don't have much to add other than that the relative finder doesn't seem to work quite as well as I'd hoped. I do have one distant cousin o
