There's a balance to be made - between belief and skepticism. If you become too much the skeptic, you no longer have the ability to enjoy simple things like a magic show. Become too much the believer, and things like the Truther Movement ho

Yup. That's very possible. However, I find the possibility that they aren't lying to be a whole lot more interesting and fascinating.

Haha - nice observation. I consider these portions of the article "proof", or at least convincing evidence: "Todd Burpo, Colton’s father, says he was skeptical about his son’s story until his son described meeting a great-grandfather and a

Wow, that's harsh. This is the part of the article that speaks to why I submitted it to HN: "He says science, not religion, resurrected the afterlife. Advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation meant that patients who would have died were re

I'm pretty sure that alternatives exist for every "necessary" service/product Google and PayPal provide. If you are absolutely _so_ fed up with a service, prove it. Switch to an alternative. The sense of entitlement exhibited by people when

For me (echoing some of what gnosis has stated), the real value that HN brings is the discussion. Frequently, I find the comments, insights, opinions, and tangents elicited by HN submissions to be more interesting and thought-provoking than

The examples they give seem off to me - slowly-evolving thought pieces. (Of course, I understand that their examples are limited to topics they would typically cover.) > ...and then build the article as the story develops over time, rat

I can imagine they would (eventually) provide a mechanism to be notified when the article is updated. As for the scrolling, it looks like the most recent portion is placed at the top - "But when more news breaks, you go back to the article,

Patrick's (patio11's) advice is really the advice you should be following. However, I can easily imagine how daunting those steps must sound. (Rent a room? Stage an event? Get up and talk? Woah.) I hate to think of that paralyzing you from

Unfortunately, this is the way in which "market forces" fail us. When all motivations ultimately spring forth from ever-higher profits and market dominance, how can "doing the right thing" for society as a whole win out on a consistent basi

Cool little app. However, I'd like to see you raise the artificially low maximums you've put in place for the "Initial Investment" and "Monthly Investment" inputs. If you did, I'd be able to make use of it. (I'm 38 and definitely not "start
