The war on the word "meritocracy" is just weird. You can just watch it bubble up through twitter to large blogs, to wired. The weird thing about it is the people who hate the word are arguing not against the actual usage -- &quot

Actually, they should add R-MOTE only if it's true. If everyone puts "r-mote" or "no r-mote" then ctrl-f "r-mote" is useless. Edited to not exacerbate the problem

Well, one way to make a lot of money is to help other people make money, with some demonstrable results.

Just want to point out that you can use external JS libs in Titanium. I use underscore.js and several others. For simple apps it's a great platform -- you'll hit one or two weird gotchas, but still knock out the app quickly. When I attemp

It has its rough edges, but I have to say that scrolling down the Timeline is a more personal and emotional experience than can be found anywhere else.

Here's a userscript that makes HN show all subdomains. If you're in Chrome, just click on "Raw"to install. https://gist.github.com/1522657

Who says there was a conversion? It's possible to grow up as both. I know a few CS guys who were national level swimmers, and one who was international caliber and only went CS after completing a masters in EE.

hmm, just tried <cmd>B, :commandB, and :CommandB and none worked :/ I am using Janus, so maybe it overwrites this. https://github.com/carlhuda/janus

I do this too. How do you manage switching between open buffers, or closing one without closing the others? I don't have a good solution for the first, and for the latter I find I have to close nerdtree for :bw to work as expected.

Because you might have a $500 testing budget and want to test how your campaign does over the course of the week. You lose out on valuable data even if your $500 in a few minutes converts well.

AdMob sucks. IMO they do this on purpose to discourage small publishers. I've also heard, from a reliable source, that they also send you worse traffic until your account is more "established", and if your early CTR sucks, you may never g

I know a few doctors, and each will go out of their way to dissuade you from riding if you bring up motorcycles. A few call them "donorcycles".

Just went to Google to see if I could find anything relating to this possibility, and was immediately reminded how annoying it is, with respect to search, that they named the language "Go".

I upvote more because I never think, "well, I'd just be piling on at this point". And it's more based on agreement or appreciation instead of righting karmic injustice.

True, but I'd wager the most lucrative forms of writing (outside the lottery win of a fiction bestseller or successfully navigating the Hollywood game) are only minimally related to the passions that drive people to major in English. Majori

When you look back on your life, do you want to be the person who got by and lived for your own happiness, or the person who brought happiness, security, and prosperity to countless others? I think this is a false dichotomy. If not, then

Yeah, that was pretty nasty swipe. Exactly what the article kind of gets at: big shot dismissing with a sniff -- he's "disappointed" with us -- something that's a very nice goal for the little people. There are hordes of people making 6

I think this may be due in part to people learning how to target Hacker News readers with their article and blog post headlines, so while the front page would look similar, the newer linked content is more fluffy. I mean, there has to be so

Collapsible comment threads and complete hiding of comments below -2. Doesn't directly cure the root problem, but why not take the edge off the symptoms in the meantime?

I for one would read at least half of these. I bet if you went to a book summary site & read them, then wrote each of those up as a blog post (or a guest post from someone -- i.e. Jason Calacanis on "How to Win Data and Influence Goog

sigh Fine, I'll bite. I posted that comment for the same reason you posted yours: to discourage a type of comment I consider useless. There's nothing lazier, especially in a forum for hackers, than "what is this and why should I car
