Would be pretty cool if someone implemented a decent browser-based MMORPG with a high degree of scriptability. Get the best of MMORPGs and MUDs + portability.

That is very interesting. Is there some way I can start developing apps for the M-Pesa ecosystem? Mind pointing me in the right direction? :)

I have a friend of mine who would be a good fit. He is working on a product in the exact same space as you and he has a EU license to act as a payment provider. He's also the kind of person who wants to change the world. Email me at allhail

Sounds like unworthy people who are just clamoring for status (which income is a proxy for) instead of figuring out who they are as individuals and what their life purpose is.

I'm curious about those outliers. Are there any shared traits that can be identified?

So you're a doctor AND you know how to code. Very interesting, please do share your story about how that came to be :)

1. Purchase uber-expensive mansion and set up an astronomic mortgage payment/month. 2. Get said domicile seized by US gov't. 3. Stall legal proceedings until Marshals have paid off the entire house. 4. ??? 5. Profit!

What are your favorite career hacks? A dude at a previous place of work took the following initiative: he emailed everyone at the company asking for their ideas for improvement, promising a daily prize in the form of movie tickets (which we

But that's not what I want. I want a better filtering/discovery mechanism for DA. There's a lot of great artists on there but it's too much work browsing, not to mention deciding.

I found this article very enlightening, in an odd way. I've committed several of the errors mentioned in it (out of blithe naiveté, I might add). Very interesting take on Machiavellian job hacking, this. Personally, I would rather be myself

There's loads of stuff on Deviant Art, for instance, that I wouldn't mind hanging on my walls. The problem is the total overload one suffers when browsing around that site. I'd totally use some kind of smart discovery service to find me coo

The third reason is so you can change the world.

Like some kind of Bizarro Valley where shady rug deals finance hot new tech startups? I'd watch that movie.

HN is hypocritical. On one hand, people here consider ideas to be worthless and put Execution on a pedestal. On the other hand, pure-execution copycats like the Samwer brothers are lambasted for their unoriginal ways. Then again, maybe we j

I think the problem is that these Silicon Valley types (I'm in Sweden) have a very low barrier for what constitutes a "good idea". What they call ideas I think of as stoner musings. Like, uhm, Facebook for cats, man. Totally. No one in my p

But we still feel the flutter of our primal fears for survival, even in the abstraction, and fight to the death over increasingly excessive piles of wealth, as if we might not "survive". And because we do that, in the global picture not ev

We don't have to speculate. There are plenty of people who have solved all of their survival needs, yet continue to fill their days with enthusiasm and activity. I don't see a Branson or a Sivers resting on their laurels just because they d

I would certainly like to see a single payer, universal health care system implemented that separates health care from monolithic employers. That, and I'd love to see actual real encouragement and incentivization of small business entrepre

If productivity rises to an absurd degree, I think it makes sense to start having a citizen's wage / minimum guaranteed income: http://www.xamuel.com/ten-reasons-for-guaranteed-minimum-inc... Sure, a lot of people might just become layabo

I haven't noticed this at all, except for the public transportation. If anything, there are plenty of businesses that won't accept cards under a certain limit (usually 100 crowns, or about $15).

Random idea: tailor programming books somewhat to personality types? Eg an ENTP and ISTJ are not going to enjoy creating the same kinds of programs.

Overall, I think you have a really creative mind and should start working on some of your ideas, to make best use of it :). Me too :) I just need to partner up with someone who is more grounded and has the mindset of testing everything. I

Is there some hack for those people who like wearing a suit but don't want to come off as try-hard status-whores? For instance, wearing a scruffy t-shirt and jeans with the suit to signal non-pretentiousness? Personally, I enjoy wearing sui

Haters be downvotin' instead of answering my honest question. So far I know of 0 cool uses for a Raspberry Pi. I don't have time to research every new HN trend in detail either. That's why I ask for a summary of what this thing can do for m
