Well, I can imagine as humans evolved and were still quite tribal, this sort of anti-social behavior simply wouldn't be tolerated. If one was a threat to the tribe's safety and didn't fit in the social order, they were culled our ejected an

This may be politically incorrect to say right now, but I think the genes associated with mental illnesses that have a tendency to lead to violence will be phased out by a future generation sometime within this century and the next. We'll s

You're much better off figuring out a wireless solution. Building out and maintaining a network of underground cables in an established city just sounds like a nightmare.

How is this outrageous? Why should they spend money to support a rival's platform? iOS' integration/sync services are terrible, even with their own iCloud. I've been nothing short of blown away by the streamlined integration with Google acc

As a recent law graduate: Finally. I had no idea what people who started in law school in 2011+ were thinking. They went to law school at a time when almost every month a major publication wrote an article about terrible job prospects and r

I don't think it's un-PC. I'm sure you are right. The point is, you look at the family, culture and environments they were brought up in and you understand where that mentality is bred.

Good time for me to relate the story of the postal worker I met today. It was 4:30PM. She had been at work since 4AM - gets up at 2:30am from a long commute (from a more affordable area). From what she told me, she does it every day. It cou

Moderate quiet combined with just one conversation that you can overhear is far more annoying than just general ambient noise like a street.

Yes, it needs to be pointed out that the corporate income tax is basically regressive. Large corporations with enough scale can afford to implement advanced tax avoidance strategies along with armies of accountants, lawyers, and shell compa

Pilots are awesome. Aviation engineers are awesome. When I observe aviation, I'm always impressed. It really seems like one of the pinnacles of human achievement. Everything from the planes to the pilots to the ATCs and beyond... everyone i

Yes! I hate how the really valuable knowledge is just tied up inside the walls of big industry. People making money are too busy to teach others how to do their jobs. I'm always in search of these types of answers, and rarely get them on th

I just bought a $500 laptop for my father and was surprised at how laptop displays haven't gotten much better since I last shopped over 3 years ago. They're all x768, even on 15.6" notebooks. The pixels are easily noticeable on the 15" Sams

Thanks, already integrated a few of your recommendations in my site. Can anyone recommend a good landing page generator for someone who isn't a front end developer? A site where I can quickly generate high quality landing pages. My attempts

Yeah, same thing I thought while reading the article. Getting the word out that you have something new to offer has become progressively harder on the internet, due to all the noise that's out there now. I had a breeze launching my video si

I don't see how hours viewed is material at all. It doesn't even reflect the number of users, just usage. If 1,000 users watch 24 hours per day non stop, it doesn't mean more money for Netflix. There is a lot of serious stuff going on out t

It's really see to the "profit is evil" mentality flow from places like reddit into HN, a site that's supposed to be about building companies to make profits.

Women don't care as much about quality because they're more concerned about fashion. There's no point in buying something that will last 15 years if it'll be out of style next year. Thus, the more successful approach right now is that of ve

Writer ignores the brand risk to Google by getting involved in a business like this. Consumer facing mobile is a messy business, as is retail. You've always got a ton of pissed off customers mad about something, and it could do a lot of dam

Seriously, does Best Buy not have a legal department? How could those people think it was OK to discuss stealing their idea in easily discoverable email, then actually steal it? And then, when the lawsuit comes, not even settle, but go to t

Wow. You nailed it. I was wondering just yesterday why I'm commenting so much on this site and others. I thought it was a need for social interaction due to my current isolation, but if that were the case, I'd comment a lot more on Facebook

My advice is to use what the government has set out for people to use: the courts. Sue them in small claims court. Apple has sold something that is not suitable for its intended purpose, and has breached warranties required by law such as w
