In this specific case, there was a better article from TechCrunch covering the same info. I just didn't see it before submitting. Also, it was upvoted quite decently.

I think it depends. I've seen some decent discussion of TechStars on here before. I'm sure there is a Harvard and Yale aspect to it it as well. But overall I think that HN is a fairly impartial site. I would be much more inclined to think t

Honestly, I like the overall goal of your article. I just wanted to make 2 comments. 1) being disciplined in an of itself is not a good thing. It is a fairly common thing to be disciplined in a practice that is either futile or damaging to

I think this article is a little propagandaish for hn. It really feels like a giant misrepresentation of the truth. Berkshire was not hiding the fact they owned these derivatives. Buffett has talked about thm many times and defends purchasi

You make a couple good points/ideas. I like the carbon free lawn service idea. My current mower is actually an American lawn reel mower. Coincidentally, I bought it on craigslist for $35. It's from 72, and still cuts like a champ as long as

I don't know if it will be possible to do where you are, but I mowed lawns for years on the side. Even after I had a "successful" startup. I enjoyed having something completely non-technical to do and it actually let my mind reboot. And bef

You should definitely join the blacksmithing group. I'm definitely on the casting part of the work as opposed to the smithing. but I know a bunch of great blacksmiths. I think you will be able to find a great group of interesting personali

I'm really into metal casting. Got into a few years ago by bastardizing a kiln I found on craigslist. Have since moved on to building my own propane furnaces and rigging old microwaves to melt copper. I don't know that I'm actually any "goo

I can back this up as being a true statement. He regularly plays bridge (and ping pong)on the Sunday following the Shareholders meeting. He does it out in public for people to watch. He is also a pretty strong advocate of the game.

Wow. What a great weekend project. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one man. Definite problem, definite solution. The only two issues I see with the site are really pretty superficial. And I would be surprised if you weren't a

I can't speak for anyone else. But for me, I truly started getting happy when I started "Reveling in Simplicity" Not in a superficial way, not in the "minimal is cool" way. But in the I really don't need much to be happy way. I've moved a L

I'm the same way. I use to have a "running mix" on my iphone. But one day the earphones broke and I just listened to the sounds around me. It really helped me relax. Almost like a moving meditation. I definitely recommend the music-less run

I am not the OP, but that is an amazing idea. I remember those baby emails, and can just imagine screenshots of baby kale and turnips. Op, you really should do this. It would be amazing.

Mine is running. You don't have to do much prep, and you can do it anywhere. It's great because it works well in groups like a running club or a race. But it is also amazing to just take off and clear your head all by yourself. I've met a s

How many of you have physically slept on the floor at your business while it was growing? I know I regularly camped out on the floor of my office when we were getting things up and running. I'd work so late it just didn't make sense to go h

Well how I see it, the Airlines are losing money. Not the travel search sites. They still take their cut no matter what the margins look like for the underlying airlines. And it is a lot of revenue, even if not a lot of profit(I doubt that,
