Well it depends on how you look at it. Elite brawn (elite NFL player): 20M / year. Elite brain (elite programmer): (way)<1M / year. Note: I didn't compare brawn to say, Zuckerberg, because that would be more like comparing the owners of

Interesting, do you have an Evo that you've used for the past year or are you anointing it top 3 status based on reviews alone? If you actually have one, It would be interesting to know how it's held up after heavy use. Personally, my exper

I find engadget reviews a bit too quick to praise. While this is actually a problem with most review sites, I notice it an awfully lot with engadget. I'd like for them to actually use the device, load it with data and let data from regular

I 100% agree with you. I always laugh on HN when I hear people's rags to riches stories, and then find out their parents are college educated professionals. In college I was floored by how jaded people's perspectives are - my dad raised a f

You know, maybe I'm just slow and don't see the big picture, but I don't understand what all the hubub is about. The '-' operator has worked wonders for me for years.

I think this was the point of the article. To answer your question, because no matter how smart you are, there will come a time when you HAVE to work extremely hard. If you don't learn this skill early in life, you will suffer simply put.

I think it's great Americans have a healthy fear of the Chinese. Keeps them from resting on their laurels.

Whenever I see comments to this effect, I always wonder if people are familiar with their history. Note, I'm not accusing you of this, just saying it makes me wonder. Silicon Valley, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Fairchild Semiconductor..HP..all t

I'm curious to see, if when bandwidth for mobile catches up to something that is comparable to that of desktops/laptops today, we will see a move away from apps and to web apps just as we are seeing on desktops.

Just a nitpicky suggestion - it would be nice to see some stats somewhere- e.g., this story was the highest upvoted story last week with ### upvotes. This comment was the highest rated, etc. Also, it's not clear if the featured articles wer

There's one thing I can't wrap my head around. I post here hoping that one of the bright minds will offer some explanation. What will happen when the rest of the world gets fed up with the one way relationship China has set up with the the

I went to an inner city Los Angeles high school. You wouldn't believe some of the individuals that can pass as qualified teachers. People that they themselves were never taught correctly, and went straight into teaching after college. This

Hm..I'm afraid that..I am in fact getting old. I try to fight it, I really do, but I'm afraid it's inevitable. Did anyone else find the use of that picture a little tasteless?

Twitter is a broadcast medium. It's not intended to do what you state above. I personally use it when I'm curious what certain people think about an event I'm watching. It's fun sometimes knowing in real time what someone who's opinion you

If I use the anonymouse.org proxy (I use it because I like accessing isohunt), I get kicked off after a while. I usually just load it in firefox now without any problems. I wonder if this is the reason I get kicked off.
