Spoken like a true city dweller. Like other have alluded to, farmers think in terms of years. Ever hear the expression "the best time to plant a fruit tree was 5 years ago". I wonder where that came from.

This is news because why? Next thing you know someone will be enlightening us to the fact that Gillette's business model is to sell razor blades and all the other products are just the hook.

That's nothing a bit of reputation based group moderation can't solve. Reddit does it, HN does it. Of course it breaks down if people get another SIM card but otherwise the degenerates could be squashed down pretty quickly. I ac

If you truly think it's depression then please see someone about that. Don't mess around. If you're just feeling blue and down about your current station in life and powerlessness to resolve it at the moment then ... Not to b

Holy hell! Get out of my brain. That's my life, not yours. On a more serious note, drop me a note if you want. I've been wondering for some time at which point most of us lose (not really the right word. maybe fades is better)

It's not so much human presence as intense development that affects wildlife. Backcountry hikers, hunters, fishermen, and campers have limited impact on predator and prey symbiosis. If anything the large predators will view you as p

This can only accelerate linkedin becoming (more) irrelevant which is not a bad thing in my opinion. I keep a linkedin (basic) profile because it's handy to stay in touch with work acquaintances and keep doors open. But for the love

Based on my experience with kids, scooter most likely feels trapped for various reasons: 1 - lack of internal coping mechanism (never taught that its ok to feel a certain way) 2 - the realization that he IS different without the accompanyin

Did you perhaps mean "purpose" instead of meaningful. Having purpose makes life meaningful. And yet, purpose is not dependent on physical or mental attributes. For example, my wife's 20 year old cousin with who has cerebral

No kidding. When the city of ottawa was hit with a DNS hijacking it turned the account password could be found in the Whois record and the challenge question pointed to it!!! Super ninja hacker indeed.

It's well known there's no such thing as a 5 minute interruption. It usually turns into 45 minutes by the time you get back in the groove. Next thing you know it's lunch time and someone is bothering you again. And yet, open

As others have already stated, you're new. Most new managers try evaluating staff using their own personal measuring stick. Doesn't work that way. Never as, never will. Comparing others to what you believe your performance wou

At the risk of being tarred and feathered. Did you consider a blackberry z30. I was given one through work and I wouldn't go back. Solid battery life, awesome inbox and phone capabilities. Browser is Essentially safari and the app

Not to be a jerk, but if you had the inside track on a largish contract to launch yourself with what happened over 3 years that your lost a lot of money? Couldn't land other clients or did you get bogged due to contract that failed to out

This is a good post and the comments are equally good. Here's the deal. Python nation isn't doing anything new here. Other languages have caused the same soul searching, think of C, Java or Delphi (of bad example). The point is that onc

Why should I give you anything for free when you will quickly drop me if I'm not an "expert" in new technology X. The elephant in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge is that the startup culture is very much driven by "What have you do

That just means you're not hanging where the cool kids are. Then again, judging by the quality of most things on github it is probably better. You may catch a GTD (Git Transmitted Disease).

You know those signs at the zoo, "Do not feed the animals". How come we all learned not to do that as kids but can't help but look at the train wreck in motion that is VB. VB uses the same approach as sports writers, be controversial cause

Although I agree with your premise of killing secondary and failed "software" I think that a lot of these stems from poor UX. Your five button screen example speaks to that. Why are there five buttons? Who decided that? The reality is tha

Perhaps I was a bit harsh (I don't feel bad), but I don't think I'm missing the point. They are attempting to create an artificial scarcity that promotes their idea of what a good dev is. It is elitist.

I've been reading HN for a long time but I never registed since I never felt the need to comment, until now. What a bunch of navel gazing, elitist douchebags you are. Do you think actually think working a Zynga or Facebook makes you a good
