Why not build something to do this and share the url when you've got a prototype?

Hacker news is the category. If you want all that other stuff, go to one of the other sites.

This would fail to create the hysteria he was looking when the ship that didn't detonate the bomb also didn't explode. The hysteria he wants comes from getting people to actually commit things they wouldn't normally do.

This issue has always been about time. It doesn't matter how clean the code is, it can still get complex. If it takes someone less time to read your comment than to read code and finally know what the function does, this is a situation wher

Steve is free to do what he wants. Owning apple shares is not a good enough reason to expect someone to give up their privacy.

Some people don't want cell phones but think they can be useful in emergencies.

Sometimes I get annoyed when my cat is particularly vocal and won't respond to, the usually effective, shhhhhh. I can only imagine the frustration the people at the RIAA feel with so many smart people trying to figure out how to take them o

For me, it's just normal use... I had the last.fm app for a few days but removed it after I realized it was making iTunes freeze. I agree with 37signals that it is the best phone I've had. It used to be better.

I'm not sure what he means here "You probably built your app using managers right?" Does anyone?

Wow... This sums up my experience too. Everyone is touting the iPhone as the next app device, and that might be true, but it's got a ways to go. The UI is so slow and unstable that it's breaking my "I can tolerate a computer crashing, but

This tool would be neater if it understood some discussion formats so you could pull the top comment groups from multiple discussion boards on the same topic similar to how google groups news.

On this topic, I think people aren't upvoting the articles they like enough to squash stuff that isn't particularly interesting.

Hmm... I wonder how often these loans default and if the derivatives markets trade them...

I must admit, I have a hard time knowing what I'd need an ide for when I can use emacs and have a python interpreter running inside it. I haven't worked on any python projects large enough to make me need help navigating the code though.

Worrying is fine. It's how you find problems. If you worry to the point of not acting, you won't last very long. The process of finding and solving problems doesn't have much room for delay in the context of entrepreneurship.

A combination of older founders from this field mixed with idealistic kids outside the field could probably do very well.

Some domains carry a crowd that will eat the naive alive. I cannot imagine someone starting a financial tech company being younger than their 30's.

It's not different from Apple's usual way of business. Look at their control of apple hardware and the software that controls the hardware. Things "just work", to quote almost everyone, with apple because of their control. I am happy to e

This matches my reaction too. To elaborate a little, I don't see any attempts at other markets as a bad sign from google or as behaving yahoo-like as long as they stick to their core principles of simplicity for everyone, including the powe

As a musician, it's interesting to read this. It speaks of stuff most musicians intuitively know and think about but in a language any engineer can understand. I hope this encourages some people to pick up a guitar and have at it.

If I were to try and tell you exactly what it is about Twitter that makes engineers cry, I'd point out that every single page is dynamic, every user's main page requires a giant JOIN, there are lots of writes coming in all the time from ev
