On the contrary, the "cost" is quite clear[1][2]. It's the "benefit" part which requires a highly dynamic analysis. Bottom-line: A Loan makes sense for the borrower when the return on loan proceeds exceeds the cost of the loan. Sin

Think infrastructure. Consider utilities, internet, interstate highways or any similar circumstance. On a practical level, I don't see how these exist without government. The risk would be astronomical for a private entity to undertake such

Ancestry.com is for sale[1] and it is the largest social network in the world (granted, most profiles are inactive). The potential is huge for an acquirer, however, it would be relatively easy for another social network to allow members t

Good timing, I'm just now beginning my apartment search in Manhattan and will be checking out your site. It's really great to see an HN article with an emphasis on the importance of domain expertise. As someone who has worked in the real es

Thank you for this input that seems obvious, but appears to be overlooked by most in this thread. It also strikes me that Apple Maps do not have a web interface (unless I'm wrong). In my experience, anytime something I care about in my neig

A quick fix: Google could force OEM's to give users an option to turn off the skin (sans root). Unfortunately, the carrier duopoly (i.e. lack of competition) is the underlying cause of this problem. Due to the subsidies and pricing power th

Have similar sentiments about Covey and 7 Habits, so thanks for your post. Wanted to also point out a follow-up book he wrote which I recommend. In "Principle-Centered Leadership"[1], Covey further demonstrates these principles at work. Lik

Don't see the same conflict in this declaration. Assuming that you interpret #3 (Openness) as a call to not enforce property rights, but I don't see it that way. #3 is somewhat vague, but this principle seems most closely aligned with tradi

Interesting to see 'former' enthusiasts react to this news. This type of negative feedback loop demonstrates how animal spirits can impact what might otherwise succeed in a vacuum. It's also a fascinating intersection where search algorithm
