What's the success rate among entrepreneurs? Don't most small businesses tank within the first three years? Does this really help if "millions of kids a year" are entering the workforce? That said, looking at my (much) younger cousins and

Without further information, I have no reason to think that the scenario you described is illegal. In fact, I've seen any number of motorists, motorcyclists, and cyclists do exactly that. Incidentally, the whole notion of cyclists being su

Based upon my limited information regarding this latest change, I don't have a problem with it. However, their rhetoric for quite some time has revolved around statements along the lines of "why should you have to pay for these abusive u

Marginalization and subsequent restriction/legislation/oppression is extremely effective in our society, and something that we should always take a stand against.

Yeah, my first thought was that since the "rules" of art are merely the discovery of what we as humans find pleasing, and since mathematics is the discovery of fundamental logical conclusions, there's no reason to assume it has anything t

When I was younger and actually cared about going to bars and clubs, I quickly learned that you're kept entirely in the dark until you get inside. I waited in line and paid too many cover charges to get inside and find out the place was de

I'm pretty sure you're not a bigot to the Cartesian tenets. You do strike me as pretty zealous, though - n'est ce pas? I've read some of your comments. You repeatedly misinterpret what people say and throw out presumptuous personal attac

Is typing 'dir' or 'ls' at a command prompt programming? Am I programming if I double-click on a folder or enter a web page URL?

I think your definition of programming is tending toward being pointlessly broad.

The worst of everything tends to get my attention - doesn't it get yours? No, because I'm not a bigot. I'm absolutely stunned that your horrific rant hasn't been downvoted into oblivion.

Forbes recycling recent news and extrapolating rather baseless conclusions. HN needs a Forbes filter. Edit: turns out the HackerNew Chrome extension allows domain filtering. Yay!

I think it's a good attitude to take, particularly when dealing with peers. Giving others the benefit of the doubt and not assuming that everyone should know everything you know goes a long way toward making the world a better and more tol

So is this the basic issue, then? That there's income inequality? No, not at all. Who have you ever heard make such a claim? The issue is the size of the inequality, its growth , and the fact that historical periods with less inequa

I've heard a number of people (Grover Norquist included) make the claim that although the top marginal tax rates were higher, there were a far greater number of tax exemptions available. I have no idea how true this is, and I'm not aware o

I think it's also worth noting that the US already gets 70% of all its taxes from the top 10% Why is that worth noting? That only further demonstrates the income inequality in the United States. Furthermore, wealth is far more importa

I wonder if it's the result of the embarrassment that came out of Ruby Ridge? Also, I imagine that there's a certain element of control, predictability, and cowardice: as an undercover cop or informant, I'm going to feel a lot more comfor

Ugh. I'm sick of this ridiculous debate. Further, this was a horribly written, inflammatory, wildly up-its-own-ass misinterpretation of the original.

Skilled programmers are already horrible at effort and time estimates. The last thing I need is a client who "programmed" some barely-functional shell and who is certain he/she only needs me to "finish up" some of the details.

You can't have it both ways. You aren't getting it. If our level of sexism and sexist behavior is the same as the rest of society, then social skills are irrelevant. What? That makes no sense. If lower social skills magnify existing s

In essence the FDA only approves medicines for specific, recognized, named diseases This reminds me of Melanotan[1], a drug developed by the University of Arizona to boost skin pigmentation in order to reduce the chances of skin cancer.
