A mindless musing on twitter is a news submission to HN now. Got it.

Nice that you were able to retool while being able to pay your bills with a mediocre job but that's hardly the worst case scenario. Many young people come out of university and grad school and can't get much of any job. I can't spend 3-4 ye

I don't understand. They want a VC who is "hands off," yet at the same time they want a VC who "cares about the product," citing the example of a VC showing up wearing their company's pants. Why does a VC need to care about your product if

Disgusting. Thankfully I live in the United States.

This article might be relevant if you're 20 years old. For the other parts of your life, when you want to have a family, and a spouse (whom you don't spend all your time arguing about money with), and also enjoy the nice parts of life like

I'm not the Parent but if I'm ever a transient I'll hold onto my $30/mo 24-Hour Fitness membership for dear life. Toilets and hot showers all over the country.

Silicon Valley is one big, dark, empty sleepy suburb at night. I don't think the liveliness of street culture has anything to do with a city's status as a tech hub. Personally I would want to be in Des Moines if I was selling agriculture s

I'm guessing the tastiness is just from the seasoning / barbecue flavor on the outside?

Not quite. Raw fish wasn't a big leap because we've been eating cooked fish for thousands of years. You can start with tuna "steaks," which look like a rare beef steak, and go from there. There is nothing like insect "meat" in our diet. The

The worst is the new USA Today redesign. Each article page is presented to seem as if it were a modal popup, but it's not. They have an "X" button in the upper right corner that just begs you to click it, and when you do it just sends you t

Except food is already so cheap in America that there is no incentive to eat bugs. The raw fish example doesn't work because raw fish is a delicacy.

Not everyone has a "monetizeable" startup idea worth pursuing at any given time.

Yeah, but this planning begins at a very local level. The NIMBYs are only concerned about their views being blocked and could not care less about the sprawl occurring 30 miles away.

And it's "Amerigo," according to Vespucci.

Note that those projects would be profitable only if they were permitted in limited areas only. A broad lifting of regulation would result in sprawl, not density. Look at Houston. Everyone would avoid expensive, dense areas by building out

It doesn't take long to discover that university education is an inefficient sloth, a waste of time and basically a broken system for almost all majors.

From the sound of it, it seems your ideal tourist destination is Somalia. Perhaps better to route your travels that way.

People will continue to do it, there are still sublets all over NYC. Just use craigslist. AirBNB listings are always overpriced anyways. The real issue in NYC is squatting. Remember, it takes almost 8 months to go through housing court to

What is the point of these "valuations?" It's credible to say that YouTube might be a relic in 2020. How many web companies have a lifespan of 14 years?

So, no synergies other than ... authentication services? Then what's the point of buying them? Remember, Tumblr is barely making any money and was running out of cash. If Yahoo has nothing to offer them other than "identity management" and

Doesn't a sale of new stock generally imply that the company believes its shares are overvalued? Great timing in any case, this is the time to shore up on capital to make sure they can stick around a long time.

Yeah. I've completely abandoned what few hobbies I've had due to my distressing employment situation. Not only are many hobbies expensive, I feel guilty having fun when I'm in this situation. It's a rather self-destructive and unreasonable
