" The US government is increadably well run when compared to just about every government throughout history" Do you have anything to back that claim up? I have quite a few friends who go on rants about government inefficiency and would be

Troll much? I'd assume it got on the front page because people thought it was good advice and/or interesting. I've been told that's how HN works (snark).

Anybody else notice the three tents they have one of the grass covered roofs? Easter egg or nice place to catch a nap?

Classless and pointless. At this point I think rapgenius is just using this as a way to get attention/traffic.

"Share economy" is getting a lot of buzz these days. What percentage of people are actually willing to share? and what percent is needed for these business to be viable? Using airbnb as an example, what percent of the population is actually

"Thousands of newspaper are going to write an article everything that happens." Thousands of newspapers writing about this is exactly what Musk shouldn't want! Thanks for making my argument for me. :)

Am I the only one annoyed by the whole A player, B player, C player mini-meme? It's really, really hard to tell the difference between an A player and a B player unless you've worked with them or have known them a long-time. Even then, the

Hope there are some Boeing battery engineers out there getting a kick out of this!

Curious. Is this logical: cruise control ==> less (speed up / slow down) ? So: no cruise control ==> more (speed up / slow down) ? Do you believe the Tesla advice was to turn off cruise control to conserve battery? or do you thin

I get why Musk feels like he needs to defend his company but I think he may be doing more harm than good on the PR front. Do you think the average Tesla customer is going to want to wade through a bunch of plots of battery charge vs distanc

Went to see one of the Boeing leaders talk specifically about the dreamliner's development a few years ago at a Georgia Tech symposium. He made a point to mention how many different international suppliers were involved and how that was a h

Interesting read. Realistically, to "know all the cards in online poker games" wouldn't you also have to reverse engineer how they map the random number to a card? You would get a jack of hearts, not an integer between 1 and 52, right? or

I haven't tried out Joyent, but I've tested out Linode and Storm-on-Demand and they easily beat Amazon EC2. My benchmark was running our production image processing algorithm that utilizes OpenCV via python on Ubuntu Server (definitely CPU

I'm sympathetic to Sergey's views but I'd think he of all people would understand the utility of political parties as huge marketing machines. The DNC and GOP have a) eyeballs/audience which leads to b) donors/money. Although imperfect, th

"Countries with much broader safety nets for entrepreneurs are not producing the risky innovative companies that America is." I was wondering whether this was the case. Is there actual data to back this up, or is it just anecdotal?

So by wirelessly docking your smartphone you've basically turned it into a hyper-portable desktop, right? So now the only difference between your smartphone-desktop and your traditional-desktop is the OS it runs, right? So which OS do you w

Steve Blank would say get out of the building and talk to customers.... let them decide. Pounding the pavement is a lot of work, but you are actually passing the buck to the people who will ultimately decide the fate of your business.
