So essentially, you're trying to say you're better than Steve Jobs because you can program?

How does shadowbanning even work on HN? Do you still get random increments to karma on different comments? If not, I find it hard to believe that after long enough a period of time of noticing absolutely no activity on your posts, people wo

Except, as others have pointed out, it wasn't odd at all. It's actually an idiom and an absolutely common response in a photographic context. http://goo.gl/CnV1s Moreover, it was probably just so incredulous to the blogger that there woul

Except it wasn't used in that manner at all . As others pointed out, it's a fricken idiom and automatic response in a photographic context. http://goo.gl/CnV1s It's the same as if he replied 'okay, don't worry, the photos will be dead an

Um. We didn't do anything much either before he killed himself. I think it's fantastic that they're on Aaron's side here - yes, it's unfortunate that it took his death to make them on his side, but that blame lies with all of us, not the la

The primary thing that stands out to me here, and what I believe is the main point of the TC post, is that edw and others clearly have very interesting 'before' and 'after' posts. Before: "Aaron should man up, take responsibility for his ac

One further point: The withering self-criticism might even be merited the first few times around, but every iteration of creation hones our skills. Perhaps, instead of hoping that our first work is a masterpiece, we commit to putting it out

Yeah..I'm always worried I'm not thoroughly elucidating how I feel. The words, they just keep coming!

Haha I knew someone was going to latch on to the Hitler comment. And also, that would be hilarious. Why hasn't that been done yet? There's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-mviqUn95s

Wow, I'm with chernevik on this one. Both perspectives were great to be brought up, but frankly, what's the difference with most Americans being worse off than this person and most of the people in the world being worse off? You are in fa

Having followed this since the raid earlier this year, I actually have no idea whose side of the story I believe now. Some people portray him as a Machiavellian psychopath (Jeff Wise), others think he just went paranoid nuts from drug use,

Can't agree with that, even though I dropped out of Harvard to be a Thiel Fellow. Top tier uni students in my experience tend to be quite a few deviations of individual above the norm. Creativity/individuality/freedom/etc are all very highl

Response to Kodess's comment on the site, being approved: Agreed, being scared of a situation isn't necessarily habit, but it's definitely not good, and as you mentioned, can even cause you to become suicidal. Put into that perspective, it

This is fantastic. I was in Tanzania last year and met a very cool kid without a lot of options. Orphan, no money, etc, but had a fantastic grasp of English and could definitely hustle. Tried to convince him to pick up programming as it see

Whoops, my bad. Not sure how I came under that impression. Seems like Olin's not free anymore either, only half-tuition now. Shame EDIT: Ahh, I was thinking of Cooper Union.

$180,000 and under, all you have to pay is 10% of your parent's income for Harvard. Above that it scales, but still you have to be well in the $200s+ before you have to pay the full admission price. Similar for Princeton/Yale other schools

Of course HMC tops the list. It's free for everyone. Reminds me of that one (Forbes?) college ranking list that had West Point as the best school to go to, primarily because they factored in cost as a major ranking determinant. And yes, eve

I really want to see one for no college vs college. People who got into MIT/Ivy Leagues/etc but decided not to go to college vs people who did go to the elites. Would finally stop people from doing the extraordinarily frustrating dual quo

I think Brian's better than a large impersonal nothing, and I assume that was Brian's reasoning as well. On that note though, I agree that it would be cuter if Brian was a personified animal like a groundhog, or something along those lines.

Ruining people's lives for no reason at all. Completely nonsensical, but then again when things like this baffle me I get reminded of humanity's past (and present) - gladiators, slaves, genocide, ritual sacrifice, lynching, witch-hunts, gen

This definitely isn't constrained to just smart people or curious people. I'd conjecture the vast majority of people are subjected to tangential distraction - youtube, facebook, wikipedia, reddit, hackernews, tumbler, twitter, whatever yo
