A blackout would suck because I love checking HN throughout the day. That's exactly why we should have the blackout, because that's a small taste of the nonsense that could come from SOPA in relation to many other sites we all check daily

All the things he listed that WordPress doesn't have are the reasons why I like it. With the exception of better caching/CDN integration, I like that WordPress is simple, straightforward, and super hackable with plugins and theme function

One of the sharpest changes (I guess a "point of inflection" it looks like?) seems to be at about 65, or the most common retirement age (here in the states at least). I wonder if there's a connection? In hunter-gatherer societies, elders ol

Great tips. Having regular workouts and other hobbies is great too, even just to keep variety.

I think in the context of 1994, there probably weren't many people posting jobs like this. But nowadays , literally tons of posts on Craiglist say the same thing as Bezos. But it's just reality to me. People often point to one thing and ma

So next time you see a job listing for a new start-up, just remember Amazon started the same way, and that new listing might just be for a company that turns out to be the next Amazon, or Facebook, or Google. I think this is a little hope

I love getting lost in cities too, but if I'm in a rush nothing beats the simple "streets go this way, avenues go that way" grid of NYC. (that's just what I say in my head with matching hand motions)

- No standardized tests (except one) - Individualized grading by teachers - Less homework and days of school - More emphasis on creative play - etc. No, I don't think "equality" is the main thing we Anericans are overlooking. We're overlo

A huge thing people forget with WordPress is that most .org-powered sites are on shared hosting. Simple little bugs make it easy to hack an average WP site, but just setting things up right can solve a ton of issues. I'd recommend the digwp

Wouldn't consider it a new language, but after all the back-and-forth articles on HN about CoffeeScript, this year I really spent some time learning the fundamentals of it. Mostly though, I just drastically extended my capability with the l

The core idea of the free exchange of money is that people only spend it when the result will benefit them. If a business is focused on profits, its decisions from day one are focused and creating something other people will exchange their

This is a classic look at fragility versus optimization, much like what Nassim Taleb writes about. A lot of his charts to demonstrate this concept (that the more "optimized" something becomes, the more fragile it becomes) look like the ones

> How is drug usage a "medical" problem? Because it's the ingestion of mind-altering substances to achieve a certain goal. Most often this goal is inebriation for entertainment purposes, some times (especially in indigenous cultures)

The Jekyll recommendation is a great one. For quick one-off articles something like pen.io is great, as well. And GitHub Pages are just fantastic if you didn't know already :) In my experience, MediaTemple handles traffic spikes remarkably

This is not everything from the 960 Grid System, but it's the stuff I use most. A lot of the other SASS grids I've seen are just too complicated for my personal taste. This math and setup is simple and small enough that, (with comments remo

Science isn't failing us. Big bureaucracies getting in the way of science are failing us. Even just to experiment with semi-controlled drugs, for example, is a massive headache and ungodly expensive. Everybody wants to get into journals and

The fact that sleep is not really valued in the "start up" community is a disgusting reflection of stupid people. SLEEP MORE. A great resource is a book called `Lights Out! Sleep, Sugar, and Survival` by T.S. Wiley. They book eventually get

This article seems more like simply "don't be a fucking idiot". And judging china, India, etc. is unfair. I once worked with a guy in Toronto, Canada, maybe 4 hours away from my home in New York. He ended up stealing $3,000 from me and ther
