Maybe if everyone knew how to code, we could fix healthcare.gov.

How so? If anything, we've seen how people can corrupt and ruin any system/society. When many people say "capitalism has failed us" they really mean our politicians have failed us by allowing corporations to run the gove

When I see arguments like this one, I always remember the little known fact that Adam Smith was a moral philosopher before he wrote about economics. A fundamental principle for capitalism is that people will behave morally and be compassion

Sounds like they're going to become a niche company even more so than they already were.

Honestly the author makes himself look not only immature and unprofessional, but also just as absurd as those they're criticizing.

THIS. ConEmu + Scoop ( http://scoop.sh ) has made using Windows much much much more productive for me.

Seeing things like this gives me hope that one day Windows will be a first class os for web development. Now if I could just maximize the command prompt window....

I think the author is experiencing and commenting on the challenge of building business apps for mobile in general - not just Windows/WinRT. WinRT suffers from the same limitations as iOS and Android when it comes to servicing business

That's not at all what he's saying. He said that teens user SnapChat to send photos that aren't super important or need to be shared in the future.

The reason I think this happens is because two of the main browsers (IE and Chrome) have a major interest in maintaining the status quo. They might even possibly be making it more advantageous for users to search for a website instead of na

I feel like this is similar to when the Native Americans and Columbus met.

What's the point of an interview like this honestly? It was just filler.

Is anyone else amazed by this? Imagine you told yourself you could buy a fully functional portable computer with a easy to use capacitive touch screen for ~$100 just five years ago? Amazing.

I'd be curious to see the immediate/longterm ROI for something like this. It seems like there would be an incredible amount of resources spent on initially building a powerhouse like the one in the picture.

I've very excited to see this, hopefully it will help Aaron's Law to pass too.

The title of this post assumes MS's stack ranking system is bad. Based off of personal experience, MS has dramatically improved how they do stack ranking. All companies stack rank, even startups. The only difference is that when that i

I was excited at first because I thought Facebook was building a social network for researchers to speed up the scientific process/peer review. Then I visited the site. Oh well.

This brings up a really good point. Being in my early 20's and in college, I have many friends who have a strict policy of not friending family on Facebook or going by a pseudonym because they don't want their parents seeing all t

I think that's very cynical to say because you could say that about the majority of the posts on this site. HN is a place for people who understand the issues/live in the tech scene to debate, discuss, and disagree with each other

How can a university admissions officer objectively determine which tweets are and are not "appropriate"? Doesn't that leave the admissions system prone to being even more politicized? I think they should stay far away from a

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing all these "git tips", "cheatsheets", and "helpers" on here? While these all may look cool and be flashy, I've never used a single one that's showed up on the fro

Does anyone else think their branding choices are a little immature/unserious? I mean a cat...?

Very excited to see this. Hopefully, it'll make Meteor an attractive option for professionals who are deploying mission critical web applications.

I love his A New Microsoft presentation when it came out, and I'm thrilled he's making an impact inside the company today.

I think you're forgetting that when the software systems powering manufacturing, ambulances, etc. was first being deployed MS was the best solution out there. The problem was that corporations didn't upgrade their tools and MS was

If Google came out with a 13" Chromebook for around the same price, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. The 11" version is just too darn small for my beefy hands.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see not buy into the idea that the Internet is something that's dramatically altering the course of human evolution? The author seems to think that with so many people being online that humans are evo

With the amount of Mozilla intern related HN posts I'm seeing lately, I'm really considering pursuing full time employment there after graduation. Working for an organization that has a mission bigger than maximizing profitability

Despite focusing too much on profits and not enough on products/experiences, during the early 2000s, Ballmer was one of the good guys. His passion and heart is so old school and very much unique to him compared to the rest of the indus
